My ipod is frozen on the connect to itunes screen and computer wont recognize it

my ipod is frozen on the connect to ipod screen

i know its been awhile since this thread was active.. but anyway ... after thinking about it some more... and still having issues .. (sorry the update was frozen /i tunes not recognise etcetcetc during 5.1 update) .. I went to the troubleshooter again... did the reset thing.. checked that windows 7 actually recognised the ipod was there... then I READ THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE TROUBLESHOOTER PROPERLY and decided to actually follow its advice fully... and UNPLUGGED any OTHER USB devices regardless of me knowing "it couldnt possibly be that!!" .. plugged in the ipod only... result.. within 10 seconds the restore screen was available and i could get the process started.... its just like waaaaaaaaaaay back in "the good old days" when RTFM and device conflicts were rife...
unplug the extra USB devices people... nothing will blow up without them for a few mins!!

you can do is go to ijailbreak.com then select downloads section.......scroll down and see the latest version of ipod touch second generation is available for download.....when it gets downloaded connect your iPod to itunes or keep it connected then hold option and click restore (mac) search the software by writing in search "iPod" a thing with white cube will show up if it is the file you just downloaded click it and wait for itunes to do its work......you can ask more if you are on windows

After you place the iPod in recovery mode using
iOS: Unable to update or restore
You have to then connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Are you doing that?

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

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

I see the "Connect to iTunes" screen and the device appears in iTunes. Every time I connect to iTunes, iTunes says my device is in recovery mode and has to be recovered so I do so. The same recovery message shows in iTunes after iTunes is complete. I have a iPod touch 64gb. I have no idea what OS is on it now that iTunes has tried to recover it and erased all info.

Trying to update my iPhoneWhile 4 to iOs6 it froze on the connect to itunes screen and i needed to do a restore. But it restored my phone to january 2011 even though i just backed my phone up 2 weeks ago.

While trying to update my iPhone 4 to iOs6 it froze on the connect to itunes screen and i needed to do a restore. But it restored my phone to january 2011 even though i just backed my phone to my laptop up 2 weeks ago. I still have all my contacts but i lost a lot of apps and text messages. Is there any way to make it restore to my most recent back up?

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.

Please stop altering the fonts, it makes reading postings extremely difficult. If help is desired, making postings difficult to read is not the way to get help.
Put the device in DFU mode (google it), then restore.

How do I turn on my phone when it is stuck on the connect to itunes screen and I dont have Itunes?

I recently was using my phone and i cant get it to turn on because it is stuck on the Connect to ITunes screen and i dont have ITunes and cant download it either how do i get it to work...Please help!

Try a reboot
press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.

My Iphone is stuck at the "connect to Itunes" screen and in Itunes itself it only shows a blank screen.

While fully restoring my Iphone it is stuck at the "connect to Itunes" screen and in Itunes itself it only shows a blank screen.
I already tried different computers and tried a DFU firmware restore. My iphone is not jailbroken or some.
It does just have a new screen due the fact it was broken.
Sometimes Itunes says my iphone is damaged, sometimes it only shows a blank screen.
But whatever I do, I cant go around the "connect to Itunes" screen.
Anyone any suggestions? please help.

Did you find a solution?
My touch is doing the same thing.

I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to restore my ipad. it will also drop the wifi connection every few mintues. what can be causing this?

I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to connect to itunes and do a restore on it. It will not pick up my ipad so I either have to do a restore or restore to new and it will work fine for a day or so except for dropping the wifi connection. What can be causing this? I have had this pad since January of this year and have not had any problems until recently.

If you have to keep restoring your iPad with iTunes repeatedly and there is no change after restoring as a new iPad or not from the iPad's backup, your iPad has a major problem - likely a hardware problem. The iPad includes a one year warranty. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
