My ipod touch 3g is stuck on the connect to itunes screen.

My Ipod though 3g is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. When I connect it it tells me that it's locked and that I need to enter my passcode, but it's stuck on that screen so I can't.
I have tried restarting it AND resetting it multiple times and it is still stuck on that screen.
I don't know what else I can do.

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 4th gen. only shows the "connect to Itunes" screen.

    I think this happened after an Ipod update.  I can turn it off and on, but the only screen I get is the "connect to Itunes" screen ( usb cord with arrow to itunes logo).  I have tried to restart, restore, but nothing works.  I have also reinstalled Itunes.  The Ipod is not recognized in Itunes, either.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

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

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    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

    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?

  • I did a reset on my iphone 4 now it's stuck on the connect to itunes screen.. I've tried EVERYTHING. please HELP!!!

    I did a reset on my iphone 4.. now it's stuck on the connect to itunes screen.. I have tried EVERY troubleshooting thing on the apple site. I've reinstalled to a later date of itunes. I've rebooted.. please HELP!! iTunes stopped recognising my iPhone after I undated hence the reverte back to an older iTunes version. My phone's cord is fine it will charge in the wall on the dock as well iTunes just isn't recognising it?!?!

    iTunes will also NOT recognize my iPod Touch.. I've reinstalled iTunes several times on all THREE of my computers to the same result.. I'm going insane.. The newest iTunes has made it a real hassle!! Before I updated my iTunes both connected just FINE!! Now neither my computers (3 of them) or iTunes will recognize the iphone4, or the iPod Touch. The threads that people are posting to go back to the SAME 6 troubleshooting steps aren't really helping. ANYONE else had the same problem but was able to resolve?? A little desperate here!! HELP!!

  • IPhone 4 is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and won't activate?

    My friend wanted me to back up his iPhone 4 but when he brought it over it seemed like it was in recovery mode and it is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. He never connected the iphone 4 to iTunes before this and I know he didn't tamper with it. When I try to sync the iPhone 4 with iTunes it accepts the iPhone but I keep getting a message that says that " the iPhone cannot be activated and may be damaged & to bring it in to the nearest Apple Store" this makes no scense cause the phone has not been tampered with at all & it seems that everything on the start up menu is working fine, the touch screen, voice prompts, the volume up/down, vibrate, home and sleep/power buttons are all operating properly? The only thing is that he hasn't payed his bill and AT&T shut his service off, but I don't think that this would cause the phone to go into recovery mode. What does cause the iphone-4 to go into recovery mode and why would I even have to activate the iPhone-4 if it was already set up? If this has happend to anyone else or if anyone can help me out on this one, I would appreciate it even if the answer ends up being that he needs to take his iphone-4 into the Apple Store or AT&T because the iphone-4 is under 6 months old and like I said has no physical damage at all? Help anyone???

    well I only have a 3gs so I'm not all up on the current but the way I see it you have a few option's depending on the route you want to take,
    If you don't mind loosing what's on the phone (if you want to try save info try 2 before 1)
    1. (Best Chance) put the iphone into DFU mode, (1. turn off iphone while plugged into computer, then hold the sleep button count to three 2. then hold the home button whiile still holding the sleep button, count to 10 3. release the sleep button but keep home button,) then itune should detect the phone and offer to restore it, this should restore it
    1b.  I would repeat above with a active SIM card, doesn't make a difference where I live but you never know
    1c.  I wouold try On difference Computer (rule out bad download, currupt driver's etc etc
    If you want to try save the information then I would say you are doing some of this at your own risk as I'm not sure about apple rules regarding these, the steps should all be legal but might void your warrently so be warned!
    2. Download a utility call Tinyumbrella ( http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/ ) and have you phone connected and run the program, on the left should be a list of connected devices (make sure itunes is closed) click on the device connected and on the right click exit recovery, hopefully your device will reboot normally, (there's also an fix recovery option but I've never used that)
    2b this option is to jailbreak your phone as that "hacktivates" your phone if using this option and it works I suggest a FULL backup then follow option 1 above, download a program call Redsn0w ( http://blog.iphone-dev.org/tagged/redsn0w ) and follow the instructions that come with it, again if this works I suggest a full backup then follow option 1 about even if you do wish to stay "jailbroken"
    this advice is just some idea's as you have given no information on what happen or firmware involved current mood of phone ^^ I can only hazard a guess at the problem< if after these steps is doesn't work i suggest trying to bring it back and get someone professional to look at it

  • 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.

  • What about the people still stuck at the connect to iTunes screen!??!
