My iPod Touch 5th generation is in recovery mode, and my iPod won't connect to iTunes so I can restore it, any ideas on how to fix it?
Alright, here are the details: my iPod Touch 5th gen. is stuck in recovery mode, and it won't connect to iTunes so I can restore it. Now, I know I have the latest version of iTunes, I have deleted it & reinstalled it, and even restarted my computer, but it still won't come up in iTunes...What should I do??
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these program

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot

- 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 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?
Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?
Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

My daughters ipod touch 5th generation screen is stuck. It reads IPOD Disabled connect to itunes. HELP!
Have you considered connecting it to her computer running iTunes? That would seem to be the logical first thing to try...
It's in recovery mode because someone incorrectly attempted to enter the passcode too many times. It must be restored using iTunes. -

Get it fixed then, make an appointment with the Apple genius bar.

I have an Ipad and an Ipod Touch 5th gen both on the latest firmwares but they won't connect via Bluetooth whenever I try even though both shows that the devices are discoverable. I also tried connecting them with my Bluetooth enabled laptop but it also didn't worked. Because of the Bluetooth not working I also can't enable airdrop.
What model iPad?

System Requirements
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...
Restore from Backup > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

On my PC, in I-Tunes, the iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod? Better yet, how to keep the ipod button on screen when itunes is open and the ipod is connected?
- Have you tried another USB port and cable?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. -
I have an iPod 2nd gen that keeps having an error code 9 when trying to restore. Any ideas on how to fix?
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software. -
IPod touch 5th generation stuck on headphone mode.
Last night I dropped my iPod touch 5th generation in a hot tub. I quickly got out and dried it off. I thought it was fine but, this morning I noticed that even when the headphones weren't plugged in it was on headphone mode. It wouldn't play music of sound. What do I do?
Hey Rissa4700, You dried off the outside, but your problem is the water on the inside of your iPod, causing shorts. If not to late, but you have been trying to use while it is still wet, attempt to dry your iPod out. Leave it off, do not use or attempt to charge. Place it in a bag of uncooked rice for 7 days, change the rice every couple of days. After drying, attempt to turn on, you may need to charge for 30 minutes. If your iPod does not turn on, attempt to Reset, by pressing and holding the power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, (about 10 seconds) then release both buttons. May need to repeat this step. If that does not work try connecting with your computer and Restore from Backup, if no joy, Restore to New. Last resort, try DFU recovery mode if all else fails. If your iPod still will not work, contact Apple about an out of warranty replacement, this will cost you money, but it's cheaper than new.
If you get the iPod to turn on, try the speaker and headphones, do you get sound? If all works as it should, the first thing you want to do is make a full set of backups of all the stuff on this iPod to your computer. The funny thing about water damage is it may work just fine, and it may quit without warning, you never know. If the sound only works when headphones are plugged in, the switch inside the headphone port may be stuck open. Try quickly plugging / unplugging the headphone jack about 12 times to free the switch. May have to repeat this step. And just be clear after you do all this your iPod may never work again. Good luck. Cheers. -
I have an ipod touch 5th generation 64g . Just bought a new laptop and authorised it to use itunes library. When i try and sync my ipod it says it can't do it because there isn't enough space on my ipod to hold everything in the itunes library. I already know that i can't fit everything on my ipod but when using my old laptop i was able to choose what i wanted to sync. Now i don't seem to have the option of choosing what i can sync, it just refuses to do it as there isn't enough space. Why is this???
Hello, peppertwist.

What do you do when your iPod touch 5th generation will not turn on, and it isn't in recovery mode?
Today, my iPod touch 5th gen wasn't turning on, but during school earlier today it was working just fine. When I got on the bus, it wouldn't turn on? I got home and I plugged it into the charger and tried to see if it would turn on that way, nope. Also, there would be no way for it to be in recovery mode, because of the fact that the home button is pushed in and wont work. I've had my iPod for 2 years, is it just old and decided to give out?

IPod Nano 5th Generation Stuck in Recovery Mode even after Restore.
Hello,
I have an iPod Nano 5th generation (model number A1320) that I would like to completly restore to working condition.
Currently it is stuck in "recovery mode".
I have followed the steps given by Apple here on a Microsoft Windows system with the latest Apple iTunes software but after step 9 I am back to "recovery" mode where I am given the option of performing the restore process all over again.
How can I restore this iPod Nano?
