My iPod 5g was updating to 8.1 and is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" even after updating. iTunes isn't reconizing that it is plugged in and I tried to reset, restart... nothing is working. Help?!
iPod 5g
iOS 8.1
I think it finished updating(can't be sure) but is still stuck on the 'connect to iTunes' screen
Magically, my ipod touch opened this afternoon.
Through two weeks I tried several things like push power button for couple of minutes then push power and home button together for a couple of minutes. I replied this for a few times in a day. Also I put charge for 2 days after I firstly recognized my ipod is black out. But for a long time I didn't try charge for a long time (just half an hour etc.)
I put charge at morning today then when I came home at afternoon ( approximately 12-14 hours) my ipod touch was full charged and opened.
I promised that I will write my solution. I'm not sure this is a solution or not but my ipod touch is alive now.

My Ipad is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen, I have tried plugging into iTunes but it makes the necessary noise but the computer does not recognise it and nothing alters on the Ipad screen. Have tried various computers and leads and it still does not work. Have also tried the switching off, plugging in to computer and turning on again using the on button and then the home button but nothing works. This happened while I was downloading software update. Please help me.
I suggested several things to GeekyNerdGirl in her first post here. Take a look.
My iPad is in what seems like permanent restore mode after iOS 7.2 update?
It can take more than a few attempts before Recovery Mode will work and you have to follow the steps exactly. DFU mode is even harder to perform correctly beside of the 10 second hold. Don't stop trying. Eventually one of these methods could work for you. -
when i try to reset my ipod it stops at 10minutes and the ipod turns itself on and acts like ive done nothing to it, it has been stuck on the "connect to itunes screen" and it wont reset. why?
After you place the iPod in recovery mode using

You have to then connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Are you doing that? -

Since my iPhone 4S was stuck on the connect to iTunes screen after updating to iOS 7, I followed these instructions and restored. But nothing changed! I still have the same picture of a plug with arrow to iTunes.
It is restored now. Thanks for the comment about disabling firewalls - we did that and tried again and it worked.

I was attempting to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 7.0.4 via my computer after I plugged it in to create a backup copy and something went wrong before it could finish and I recieved an error message. Now my phone is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes screen". I've tried everything to reset & restore my phone with no luck!
I have:
-Restarted my computer
-Updated iTunes to most current version
-Turned phone on and off several times, waiting up to a half hour before turning on (to be greeted directly with apple logo then the connect to iTunes screen)
-Turned on, turned on and held home button (nothing happens)
-My computer is NOT recognizing my device at ALL! But when I plugged my boyfriends iPhone in, it detected it no problem.
I tried calling my phone from the other phone and it goes straight to voicemail. I am super frustrated! Does anybody know what is going on?I was able to restore my phone!!!
I called Apple and they said there was nothing more I could do. I called my carrier Verizon and was able to get my computer to recognize my device after trying this-
Solution:
After trying EVERYTHING this is the ONLY thing that worked-
I took the USB connector cable out of the USB port it was in, and tried another one on the otherside of my laptop and iTunes was able to discover my phone in recovery mode. My phone was reset and everything is fine ( thank gosh for backup copies!) -
I did a reset on my iphone 4.. now it's stuck on the connect to itunes screen.. I have tried EVERY troubleshooting thing on the apple site. I've reinstalled to a later date of itunes. I've rebooted.. please HELP!! iTunes stopped recognising my iPhone after I undated hence the reverte back to an older iTunes version. My phone's cord is fine it will charge in the wall on the dock as well iTunes just isn't recognising it?!?!
iTunes will also NOT recognize my iPod Touch.. I've reinstalled iTunes several times on all THREE of my computers to the same result.. I'm going insane.. The newest iTunes has made it a real hassle!! Before I updated my iTunes both connected just FINE!! Now neither my computers (3 of them) or iTunes will recognize the iphone4, or the iPod Touch. The threads that people are posting to go back to the SAME 6 troubleshooting steps aren't really helping. ANYONE else had the same problem but was able to resolve?? A little desperate here!! HELP!!

Connect the iOS device to your computer restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
