My ipod is stuck in reboot mode.

I turned off my ipod touch(3g and running 4.3.4) and tried turning it back on and its been stuck in the page with the apple icon for about an hour now. What do I do?

Here is the answer:
1- shutdown your iphone with the hard reset "home button and power for 10 second"
2- connect the usb cable to the pc but NOT to the iphone"
3- open itunes
4- while the iphone is off, press the home button for 5-10 seconds then plus the other end of the white connection cable into the iphone
5- do not remove your finger from the home button
6- itunes will detect it and you can now restore it

It has already been 6 days from your post, my apology for responding so late, but it is my habit to help only the leftovers, which the other contributors missed.
Toggle the hold switch make sure there is no red showing.
To reboot an iPod. (Or RESET in Apple iPod jargon)
Press Menu and Center button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON , this would not erase any data from your iPod.
I would advice you to leave the iPod charging for about 4 hours, if it has been discharged for 1 year or more, and also Apple recommends that you charge the iPod at least once a month, to prevent a discharged battery leakage, which may corrrode the circuitry in the iPod.
Hopefully you don't get the dreaded RED X on the iPod screen.
Good Luck!

IPod Touch stuck in recovery mode and not detected in iTunes

I was trying to update my iPod Touch (currently 3.1.3), so I downloaded the 4.3.3 firmware (I didn't want to download the 4.3.5) and connected my iPod to my computer, opened iTunes and hit Shift+Restore. Then, I chose the 4.3.3 firmware and proceeded with the restore.
However, the following appears:
Error 1602
I pressed OK and the restore process stopped. But, my iPod is stuck in recovery mode. Every time I reboot it, the recovery mode shows up. It's also not detected in iTunes although my computer recognize it as iPod Touch Recovery Mode.
Please help me solve this. I can't use my iPod.

Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

Also, when updating/restoring an iDevice, iTunes contactact the Apple sever to verify that you have the latest iOS version. If not, it will not allow an install if an earlier version.

IPod touch stuck in charging mode although charger is disconnected

I've had some problems with low battery life after the 2.0 upgrade. 2.0.1 helped some, but there's still (at least) one battery related problem. I have location and push turned off, but WiFi on. Battery life is always decent to good except in this case:
When I connect an external charger (or connect the touch to my car) and then disconnect it my touch does not recognize that the charger has been disconnected. The unlock screen shows the battery loading icon and the battery icon top left shows the touch being connected to power (which it isn't). The charger is Apple's own firewire charger for a 4G iPod. This never happened with the 1.1.1-1.1.4 firmware (I've tried them all). With 2.0 and 2.0.1 it happens every time.
Once the iPod is stuck in this mode the battery drains very quickly. I can't get it out of this mode by rebooting, resetting, or even reflashing the firmware. The only way is to wait for the battery to go dead and then charge the iPod up again.
I do not see this problem when charging it through USB on my MacBook.
Is anybody else seeing this? Have you found a workaround?

I've tried all of those suggestions, but thanks for trying to help out.
The issue is not that the iPod freezes up, it's that the iPod does not recognize that a third party (car or Apple's old external) charger has been disconnected.
When stuck in that in that mode, the only way to get out of it is to wait for the battery to die. Connecting the third party charger or to a MacBook with USB does not help and you are unable to charge the battery. The battery will die in a couple of hours even if you don't use the iPod at all during this time.

My ipod is stuck in reboot and I tried a force restart and im away from my computer. HELP!!

My ipod is stuck in reboot and I tried a force restart and it didnt work. I am away from my computer so no itunes.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

You need a computer with iTunes for most of the above. It is required.

Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

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.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
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 Touch stuck in recovery mode. Help!?

My iPod Touch 4th Generation would not update with iTunes. Everything was up to date, so I did a back up and restore, thinking something must be wrong with the iOS. Well, now the iPod is stuck in restore mode. It acts like it wants to restore but it always fails. Help? I have tried many options. I don't need to restore it to the way it was, just to get it working again and I can start from scratch.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
- Then try on another computer
If you get another error message, remember the wording of the error messages. When it says unknown error, usually an error number is also given.
