Download RecBoot and see if you can kick it out of recovery mode.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation, is stuck on the apple turn-on screen where you turn it on, but all you see is the apple. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    my ipod touch 4th generation, is stuck on the apple turn-on screen where you turn it on, but all you see is the apple. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    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 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.

  • My iPod Touch (2nd Gen) is stuck on the Apple start up screen.

    My iPod Touch (2nd Gen) is stuck on the Apple start up screen. I have restored it three times so far, but every time it turns off the problem returns. Since restoring yesterday, the battery life has been dramatically shortened as well. I have no idea what to do, as my iPod is out of warranty and this problem started for no reason what so ever. I also have no local access to Apple support. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I've tried this. Though it brings temporary success, in the fact that the iPod functions until it is turned off again. Then the problem seems to return. I thought it might be a problem with the backup file, but I have since restored it completely (to have nothing but the basics on) and the problem is still there. 
    Thank you for the responses so far though. Hopefully, they can help others with a similar problem.

    I believe mine is also 4.2.1. I made an error when selecting the OS at the bottom of my posts and have no idea how I change it.
    *EDIT* - I have now managed to change my iOS, not that it makes much difference. I've heard people have been having trouble with iOS 4 on the 2nd Gen iPod Touch?

    - Try resetting the iPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore the iPod via iTunes
    - If iTunes does not see the iPod try placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if it will make it visible so yu can restore the iPod.  For recovery modes see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • I have a Ipod Touch 2G that is stuck on the connect to Itunes. How do I get it back to work without the access of a Home Computer?

    I have a Ipod Touch 2G that is stuck on the "Connect to Itunes Logo" How can I get it back in operating order with out the access to a home computer? Can anybody Help me? I need it back to work.....

    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.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Hello Alex_boi941,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone's power button is not functioning correctly.  To be able to get full functionality of your phone, it would need to be repaired.

  • My ipod touch 5th generation is stuck on the apple logo, and i tried fixing it with itunes but it tells me there an error and gives me a code saying i needed to update my itunes and it was.what other ways is there to fix it.

    ipod stuck on the apple logo. i did the itunes thing but it tells me error and gives me a code saying i need to update itunes but it was and i did again but it still said the same thing. help how do i fix my ipod.

    Hey Edgar, how exactly did you do the updates? Are you running iTunes 11.2.2? And you iPod 5 is still running iOS 6.1.2 as your tag shows? or are you running iOS 7.1.1?  More info would be helpful. As Deggie asked, what was the error message, the more detailed the better. One more thing-- is this a Mac machine or a PC? Cheers.

  • My ipod touch (3rd generation) is stuck on the screen that shows me to sync it to i-Tunes.

    When I turn on the iPod touch, I get the screen that has a picture showing that I should plug it into iTunes, but when I do, I get a message that says I need a passcode.  I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and ran a diagnostic test to see if there were any problems and it said that iTunesHelper is currently not running. Everything else was working just fine.  I don't know how to make sure iTunesHelper.exe is running.  Also, the volume was not working properly before this happened.  I'm not sure if that is related to the issue.  Any suggestions?

    You'll need to connect in recovery mode to get past the passcode and restore the ipod. After that you can set up a passcode you choose. Log into the ipod after that with the new passcode and deactivate the passcode in the Settings of your device.  iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen

  • My Ipod Touch 4th generation is stuck in the apple logo

    Hello,
    I have an Ipod Touch (4th gen) but it doesn't get past the apple logo and if it does the screen becomes white but it doesn't do anything else. I tried to restore it through ITunes but that doesn't work either (always get an error). It's been like this for a while since everything I've tried so far doesn't work at all.
    Thank you in advance ^^

    Any error messages or numbers given by iTunes?
    If yes, check this article: Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    Also try to connect in recovery mode to restore, explained here: If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    If this does not work, your device has to be checked by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
