My iPod 5th gen is stuck in "Connect to Itunes/Recovery mode" mode
My iPod 5th generation (IOS 7.0.1) is stuck in "Recovery mode".WARNING my iPod is Jailbroken.
Prior to this happening I sent my iPod to a local Technician's shop to replace my screen witch had been slowy becoming less and less responsive.When I got it back it was stuck in recovery mode.
I do not remember every thing I downloaded from cydia.And I honestly doubt that the Technician did anything malicious to it.
I have tried (In no particular order)
1.Connecting into iTunes with the official lighting cable.I then opened iTunes telling me to Update or Restore my iPod.I tried "Restore" then iTunes downloaded IOS 8 and extracted the update it shut down my iPod then it said waiting for response and the iPod went back into recovery mode and said "Error code 21". and then tried "Update" and yet again got Error code 21. and I also went on apples solutions page for error code 21 and did everything that the page suggested me to do and it got me nowhere.
2.Used Redsn0w's "get out of recovery mode" and my iPod then briefly shuts off and back into "Recovery mode" then tried Redsn0w's "Restore" to re-install IOS 7.0.1.Redsn0w said "Unsupported Firmware".I then tried IOS 6.0. and told me that apple isnt signing blobs
3.I used Tiny Umbrella's "Exit Recovery" while using the TSS server.and then it shut off then turned back on to go back into "Recovery mode".I then put my iPod into DFU mode and tried "Fix Recovery" In Tiny Umbrella's log it says "Attempting to fix recovery...,Starting to fix recovery...,Fix recovery has finished,Allow device to reboot!".The entire time my iPod screen is black and I have waited for 10+ minutes and nothing happens.
4.I tried using iTunes to recover my iPod while the iPod was in DFU mode.And still stuck in "Recovery mode".
5.I made sure my iTunes was updated.
6.Unplugged everything except for my mouse and tried every USB port on my computer.and in between switching tried to "Restore" still Error code 21 then tried "Update" and my iPod and I still got Error code 21 on every attempt.
Any response on how to fix this is greatly appreciated.
Jailbreaking
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

I've been trying all day to update or restore my ipod but it won't go through without running into a last minute "error".
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have had very much trouble adding music to my wife's iPod. Every time I connect to iTunes, I get an error message that reads ...The iPod "Linda's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)...I have tried diagnostics, help and what ever iTunes has to offer and cannot fix the issue. I want to add a new playlist with new music. When I connect her iPod, the playlist shows up on her device. When I disconnect, I can not find it in order to play it. Help me.
Some other posts seem to indicate that the cause is related to voice memos. You may want to try the remedy described in this document

WiFi cut out during update and iPod 4th gen is stuck on connect to iTunes screen
I was updating the iOS and I think the WiFi cut out and messed it up. This has happened before and supoort helped me fix it, but im not paying 20 dollars for them to help again...
Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Then restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???
If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds -
hi my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode ive tried everything and nothing is working
Only developers have access to the iOS 7 beta and then also have access to the developer forum. Thus, if you are a developer go the the developer's forum.
Otherwise you have a bootleg coy of iOS 7 and are on your own.
PSA: iOS 7 If you're not a developer, don't install developer betas on your iPhone | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog -
hi my ipod 3 g is stuck on connect to itunes mode once connected it says to unlock the whole thing here it does not give me that option ive tried to hold the wake button & home that has not helped any suggestions thanks .
Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software. -
Ipod 5th Gen is stuck on the apple logo with the loading bar not moving
So I recently decided to restore my iPod 5th gen to factory settings, because I plan on selling it to a friend. When I chose the option to erase all data and reset settings, the iPod turned off, and then came to the black background with the apple logo in the middle. After watching it turn on and off, and not do anything for at least an hour, I searched for answers on the forum. I found that I should reset my iPod by holding the center button and the top right button at the same time for at least ten seconds, or until the device shuts off and then the apple logo is visible again. After I did this, once again, the black background with the apple logo popped up, this time with a loading bar beneath it. After an hour or two of checking on the progress bar, I noticed that it had not made any progress whatsoever. It had not moved an inch since I first started it. What do I do?

I'm updating my iPod Touch 5th Gen and it says "Connect to iTunes" and I have, but nothing happens.
Okay, so, I unlocked my iPod and it said an update was available, so I tapped install. It wasn't connected to a power source, and I didn't think it'd make any difference if I was or not. So, I tapped it, blah, blah, blah, and then it said to connect to iTunes. So, I did, but my laptop didn't make the noise it usually does when I plug in the USB cable, so I tried it over and over again, but still the same result. I've updated iTunes to the newest version, and nothing happened still. So I decided to just cancel the update. But, now, "Connect to iTunes" will not go away from my screen no matter what I try. I've tried looking for solutions online, but none help. So, if someone could PLEASE help me fix this.
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
* If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -
IPod 5th gen. won't stay connected
I've had this Ipod for almost a year and never had a problem. I just got a new computer and plugged my Ipod in and it asked me if i wanted any problems fixed on it which was recommended. I said yes and now my Ipod won' stay connected. It charges but isn't found in Itunes or My Computer. I downloaded Itunes 10 and did all the recommended troubleshoots but it still won't work. It has the same problem even with my old computer and Itunes. I also now have 6.3 GB in the "other" category of memory now but nothing in songs or videos.
Hi there,

Ipod touch 4G is stuck in "connect to itunes" screen.
I just got my brand new Ipod Touch 4G (iOS 4.3.5), I connected it to my PC and put some music on it, I was using itunes 10.4.
I update to itunes 10.5.0 and it wouldn't recognize my ipod. I searched online for solutions with no luck.
Itunes says: "itunes was not properly install....."
In My Computer my ipod showed as Camera Device, wouldn't let me copy videos or pictures to the folder.
In Device Manager, Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) has the yellow warning triangle
I don't have a CD with the ipod software -it didn't come with it- but I downloaded iOS 4.3.4, iOS 4.3.5 and iOS 5 in case I need them.
I updated to itunes 10.5.1 and it recogized my ipod, it said a new iOS 5 was available, so I click to update to it.
Everything was going right, until my ipod got stuck in the "connect to itunes" screen, and it didn't restore. (error 1604)
Some times (with no reason at all) itunes would recognize my ipod and say "itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. you must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes" I click OK, Restore and Update, it takes some time and then, "error 1604"
I've been searching online, but nothing works, I've tried these:
-Putting the ipod in DFU mode, it would restart the ipod but the same screen will come up.
-I uninstall, verified and reinstall itunes and its components (itunes, QT, Apple Software Update, AMDS, Bonjour, Apple Application Support)
-Restart a million times my pc after installing.
-downloaded fixrecovery.exe but it won't even start because zlib1.dll was not found.
-downloaded RecBoot and it says "I must install the following .NET framework: v4.0.30319" -How do I know what framework I have???
inside the RecBoot folder was the program iPHUCWIN32.exe, I started it and it says "this application has failed to start because iTunesMobileDevice.dll was not found".
*Note:
My HP Pavilion G60-235DX Notebook won't let me install updates from the Windows Update software (error 80096001). for a while now.
The DVD/CD drive dissapeared from my computer (about 2 months ago), haven't found a solution for it yet (can't afford to take it to a repair shop or send to HP) that's why I'm trying myself.
I want a solution for the IPOD problem, the rest will come later.
Seriously guys, can some one help me with this? I'm desperated...
Any good software to restore my ipod ? (I don't care about erasing all the content -I want it to work like it supposed to).I connected my ipod to another pc with windows vista also, with itunes ver. 10.4.1.10 but error 3194 came out, so now I'm going to try this:
Exit iTunes
Locate your hosts file:
In Mac OS X /etc/hosts
In Windows c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Open the hosts file with Administrator privileges using Notepad.
Add the following lines to the very bottom of the hosts file:
#74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
Connect your device to the computer
Launch iTunes
Put device into DFU Mode by turning your device off and then holding down the sleep and power button for 10 seconds, then release the power button but hold onto the home button until iTunes tells you that the device is now in recover mode
Use the iTunes Restore feature as usual with the iOS device
Once your iOS update is finished, remove the “#74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com” line from your hosts file again so that iTunes can properly update as usual.

Ipod 5th Gen will not sync movies from Itunes...
I've had this Ipod for a couple of years now and the only way I've been able to put movies on is through a few programs that I've downloaded. I've bought a few movies off of the Itunes store and every time I put it on the iPod, the iPod freezes up, and then sometimes my iPod loses all of it's content. The iPod and iTunes are both up-to-date, is this just an issue with the 5th gens?
Are these HD movies? iPods can only handle SD movies.
Some store downloads include both versions. They will show HD-SD next to them. If so, right-click > Version and make sure SD is checked.
if it just shows HD, you should be able to use the Advanced menu to create an iPod or iPhone version. -
My iPod touch (5th Gen) is in what seems to be recovery mode.
1) Ok so this has happened earlier today and I've been trying everything. My iPod's screen was blinking the Apple logo and wouldn't boot up normally. I pressed the power button and the home button and it told me to connect to itunes. Well as soon as I unplugged my iPod to plug it into the computer, it just shut off and wouldn't turn back on again. I plug it in but it doesn't respond and the computer doesn't even realize that it's just been plugged in. This is the first time it's done that. iTunes is also not opening, nor is the device charging in the computer. I plug it back into the wall and it starts working again with the blinking and telling me to plug it in to iTunes, but it's just not working. What can I do?
2) I also have second problem, but I'd rather the first one be dealt with, well, first. Anyways before this all happened, I had gotten the screen fixed about a week prior. After I got it back, I had network issues. The iPod searches for available networks, but never displays any. Only on occasion does it show two networks. Mine and a neighbor's, but it doesn't connect to mine and in a matter of seconds they both disappear. The weird thin is that when I place the iPod on top of my router, the WiFi begins to work again, but only when I place it on top. I've tried resetting the settings, but nothing's changing. What can I do here?You can try the following:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem
However, I would take it back to who fixed the screen. The wifi problem is likely due to the antenna not be connected internally because of improper scree replacement. Apple will not help if someone other than Apple worked on the iPod -

HT201263 iTouch won't connect to iTunes; recovery mode won't work
My iTouch (fourth generation) was disabled after the incorrect password was input too many times. Now, it says that it needs to connect to iTunes, but when I try to connect it, it tells me to put in the password, which I obviously cannot do because the iTouch is disabled. I tried recovery mode, but it hasn't worked after repeated attempts. What do I do?
Try DFU mode and then restore
