My iPod Touch 3G is in DFU Mode and I can't get it out of it,how do i do this?

A few days ago i got my iPod into DFU mode and i can't get out of it.I've tried installing the new iOS but that hasn't worked and it wouldn't restore in iTunes.Please Help!

How did you get your iPod into DFU? I can't get mine into it and I have a 3G. And to get out of it I know you have to press and hold the Home and Power button together till you see it start up.

    - Try on another computer
    - Try another cable           
    - Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    - 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 says Disabled: Connect to iTunes, and everytime I try it doesn't work. How do I fix this?

    I changed my password, and without knowing it, I typed the wrong numbers, and now I don't know my password. I've tried to connect to iTunes, but it doesn't seem to work. It only brings up the USB cable needs to be connected to iTunes on my iPod screen. Does anyone know how to fix this, because it's frustrating.
    Thanks!!

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    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        

  • My iPod touch (4th gen) suddenly went blank, and I can't get it back on!

    I was listening to music and downloading songs from the iTunes Store on my iPod touch (4th gen) when suddenly the screen went blank. The music I was listening to was still playing in my headphones. When I unplugged the headphones, the music oddly continued playing from the built-in speakers, instead of pausing like it normally does when you remove the headphones without pausing. I think the music finally stopped shortly after I plugged the headphones back in.
    Since this happened, the iPod has not responded at all when I press or hold buttons. The screen has remained blank and turned off. Surprisingly, iTunes still recognizes the iPod when I connect it to my computer (Windows Vista laptop, if it matters) and tries to sync. Since iTunes is very poorly written, it almost always freezes at some point before I can successfully finish syncing, but this was happening before my iPod blank-screened, so it isn't related to the problem.
    What's wrong with my iPod, and how do I fix it? Will I need to have it repaired? Thanks!

    My terrible HughesNet connection screwed up, and I ended up posting this twice. Please go here for the thread you should reply on: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3178195

  • How come I can't access the app store on my iPod touch? There is no icon and I can't get to it through the iTunes icon. My iPod does have the latest software.

    See question above.

    On my iPod touch I don't have a spotlight search icon or option available. Also under my settings and general there is no "restriction" options or settings. I reset the iPod several times and that doesn't work.
    The thing is the music that is on my iPod is not all in my iTunes library so I can never sync automatically. Also if i restore to factory settings then it will erase what i have on my iPod and not in my library. I always manually add songs. When I plug in my iPod and i go under Summary...the only other tabs are music, tv shows, photos and info. There is no Apps tab. When i plug in my iPhone i do get the apps tab.
    I got my iTouch awhile ago....is it possible that this is why i can't get apps?? I got the iTouch back in 2008.
    Ughhh this is so frustrating. I just want to get this one app on my iPod Touch. Please help!!

  • My iPod Touch is stuck in DFU Mode

    Hi,
    My Third Generation iPod Touch is stuck in DFU Mode (Completely Black Screen) and I cannot exit it as I have a broken Sleep/Wake button on the iPod. Even worse, iTunes will not see the device so I can restore it.
    The only thing that I can think of is to wait until it's battery has completely drained and then restore it.
    Please help me!

  • IPod Touch blank screen in DFU mode

    Hello. I have an iPod Touch 2G with software 2.2.1. Recently, I shut it down and restarted it, but nothing appears on the screen. I tried to put it in DFU mode and iTunes can see it, but I do not want to restore everything. I would be devastated. Please help! Thanks!

    Yep it looks like you'll probably have to do a restore. YAY! Don't worry if you've sync'ed your iPod over it will automatically back up all of your stuff and after a restore will ask you if you would like to restore from the backup. Just select your latest backup and click restore and it will be exactly how you left it after the sync is complete. So to get started just put the Pod into DFU like you did originally. You will have iTunes say an iPod has been detected in recovery mode... blah blah blah so just hit ok. Next you will see the restore button in the iTunes window. Hold down the option key and click on restore (Shift+click if you're on Windows). You will be presented with a drop down window. In there navigate to...
    /Users/"YOUR ACCOUNT"/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
    In there you should see iPod2,13.1.2_7D11Restore.ipsw if your on 3.1.2 and it is a 2nd gen touch
    OR
    iPod1,13.1.2....ipsw if your on 3.1.2 and it is a 1st gen touch
    Select the appropriate firmware file and hit choose.
    It'll say extracting and do the normal stuff.
    When that is over. You will be presented with the iPod setup page and it will ask to setup as a new iPod or restore from backup. This is where you click restore from backup and select the LATEST backup you have (It'll come up in a window with all the backups that have been performed). The iPod will sync for a while depending on how much stuff you had on it. YES THIS INCLUDES EMAILS, SITES, APPS, MUSIC and all the other stuff. So it'll pretty much be exactly how you left it.

  • My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore?

    Okay my Ipod Touch is stuck in recovery mode and will not restore because "the ipod software update server cannot be contacted". I have tried to restart my computer, restart my ipod, tried different computers, and re-intalled AND updated my itunes and it still will not restore. It is stuck on the picture of the usb cable pointing to itunes and won't do anything else. I'm trying to restore it because my memory was full and I wanted to clean it out and now the ipod is useless, please help me restore it!

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

    Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.
