Try:

- 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 another cable                                                       
- 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 is frozen in the start up mode. I've tried to do a hard reset and it didn't work.

    My 4th generation ipod touch is frozen in the start up mode. I've tried to do a hare reset on it and the apple comes up then it goes to the next screen with the loading circle and freezes up.

    Try connecting the device to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restoring it using the instructions in this Apple support document.

    Does the iPod/iTunes go through all the steps of restoring the iPod? If yes then:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

    The options are listed at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.  The best option is the first (listed under "If you have previously synced with iTunes"): back it up and restore it on the last computer it was synced with after setting the passcode.

  • My IPod touch is frozen on the apple screen how can I move past the screen

    Have you tried a hard reset yet? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  If that doesn't work, you'll need to connect the iPod to your iTunes library in recovery mode using the instructions in the Apple support document below and restore it.

  • My iPod Touch is frozen on the apple logo.

         I received my iPod Touch as a gift for valentines day over a year ago. Over 3 months ago, I tried to reset my iPod and as usual, the apple logo appeared, but this time it didn't go away.
         I went through the resetting process multiple times (holding the sleep and home button at the same time) but the screen would go black, then show the logo again. I let the battery run out and after I plugged it in to charge, the same thing happened. Basically, my iPod has been resetting itself for over 3 months. During this time, I did not have access to my computer. That was being restored. When I did get my PC back, i figured i could plug up my iPod and have it restored. BUT my comp didn't recognize my iPod as a device. I re-downloaded iTunes, plugged my iPod back up and iTunes didn't even recognize it.
         I'm also having a problem with iTunes itself. Most of my songs are missing. The names are visible, but once I try to play them, the dialogue box appears saying, "this song can not be played because the original file could not be found" and it show a exclamation point to the left of each missing song. I WOULD transfer the songs from my iPod to iTunes, but once again, my iPod is "broken". I have recently read different articles on the Apple website, but once i spotted my issue, it told me that it had to be sent in to be repaired. I also called AppleCare but i was put on hold for too long and I just gave up. I Googled my issue, and found that many other people also have this problem. Answers were posted, and I tried them all but to no avail.
