My iPod Touch Has A Connect To iTunes Sign
My iPod Touch always has a connect to iTunes screen whenever i turn it on now. And i've already plugged it to my computer (Windows). I have already contacted iTunes for help but no change happens to my iPod. I have tried restoring it but it says "You have an unknown error" or something like that. Also my iTunes store and library still works. I have tried many things to fix my iPod but no help. What do i do?
The iPod Touch is 4th Generation
It contains 8g of memory
This error occurred about a week ago
I have the latest version of iTunes
This has never happened before
By the way I have connected my iPod to my PC before when I first got my iPod (that time wasn't an error) this time is an error.
I am eager to have this problem solved as quickly as possible. If you need any more detail about it just post in this thread.
Thanks for the help guys,
Dan
Is it fixed?

Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.

Everytime i go on Itunes it tells me i have to restore my ipod but everytime i do, it just tells me to do it again? When i try and use my ipod it just has a connect to itunes sign and nothing else, it wont work at all?
I updated itunes and everything but nothings working and i just can't figure it out?
Everytime i restore the stupid thing, it never pops up in my itunes again like its supposed to!Loop
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New. -

HT201210 My iPod constantly shows the 'connect to iTunes' sign, how to fix this?
My iPod is showing the 'connect to iTunes' sign, even when I connect to iTunes and do everything it says to do. I have repeated this process several times and still no change. I believe it has wiped everything off of my iPod but I can't access anything on it as it is always on the same screen. Can it be fixed?

My Ipod touch won't connect to iTunes/Computer!
This problem has being going on for a month or so now! Firstly, iTunes kept freezing whenever I connected my iPod to my computer which became quite annoying. And recently it's just stopped connecting altogether, no beeping noise, no charging, no usb driver listed, no freezing- nothing. However, whenever I turn my iPod off and connect it, my iPod turns on? I've tried reinstalling iTunes many times, as well as all the other software but nothing seems to work. I've also tried reinstalling the usb driver, which did eventually work but then caused my iTunes to freeze. I then disconnected my iPod to find that it wouldn't connect again, and the usb doesn't show up still. My computer is running on Windows Vista, and my iPod is an iPod touch 4th gen. Can anyone help me!? I really don't want to reset my iPod as I'd loose everything on it and I've owned it for quite a few years

3rd gen 8GB ipod touch stuck on connect to itunes
This isn't fair. I just bought this 3rd gen 8gb ipod touch (my first ipod ever, only owned Mp3 players) from best buy today and i can't even use it...
I'm going to start from square one, this will be long-winded, so forgive me in advance. But detail might help you guys help me out...
Okay, all giddy with excitement I boot up my touch for the first time. It tells me to connect it to itunes. I do that, hooking up the touch to the computer via usb. Vista detects it, installs the "apple mobile device" drivers just fine. Good, so then I open up itunes -- latest version -- and it's telling me to set up my ipod; name it, etc. Alright, I'm almost bursting at the seams here with excitement, but then itunes is notifying me that iOS4 is out. I upgrade, it takes a few minutes to do its stuff, it's done, and bam it's working. I play with the ipod a little bit, looking at the apps that already came with it. I disconnect, play with it, then reconnect to the computer again.
So now, itunes for some reason is doing a "recovery" process -- i did not tell it to initiate this. So it's in the process of "recovering" (backing up, i guess?) and Vista is prompting me to install the driver "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery)" I tell it ok, locate and install them. It does that, I'm guessing, for it's now prompting me to insert a CD. Well, there is no CD so I tell it to find this driver on the internet. It says "cannot find drivers check manufacturer's support site blah blah blah." At this point, itunes tells me that it cannot complete the "recovery process" -- no error code or anything, and the dialog box closes.
Now, my ipod goes into the connect to itunes screen. Itunes does not recognize it, for it does not even display my ipod at all. Vista does however, and each time i connect the ipod to the computer it attempts to install the "apple mobile device (recovery)" driver and fails each time. I don't know what's happening. I've lost all functionality in my ipod, can't even get into DFU. iTunes just refuses to recognize it. I've tried all of those fixes (reinstalling itunes, rebooting, trying that method where you go into device manager and update the apple mobile device (recovery) drivers....all of it doesn't work). I've spent hours websearching...
And I'm at a loss. I'm ready to throw this thing somewhere. Can you guys suggest any help for me? Please...

IPod Touch frozen on Connect to iTunes Screen and cannot be restarted
My iPod Touch is frozen on the connecting to iTunes screen (The one with a usb plug pointing to iTunes logo) even when I plug it into my computer. Windows do give sound when I plugin, but it was not the successful connected sound but repeating the first note for three times =_=" iPod then appears the connect to iTunes logo, but it just stuck there. I hold the sleep/wake button for 5 seconds, it goes black directly, and windows would give unplug sound alert. But the iPod actually gives the white apple logo immediately without me pressing any button and goes back to the connect to iTunes logo. AGAIN. And computer gives ridiculous plugin alert then everything just go round and round and round.
Now iTunes won't detect it, therefore no restoration; Restart won't work either. If I press the sleep/wake button for 2 seconds without connecting it to the computer, it appears the apple logo, then go back to the connecting to iTunes screen immediately, and goes dark in 30 seconds.
Everything started after I updated new iOS for iPod touch, and I dunno how long would it take to run out the battery under this condition -_- I have updated to the newest iTunes version too.
Needs help urgently and thanks a lot!!Sorry to hear that you're still having a problem. The only other help I could find is at http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/consumerelectronics/ipodfaq/ipod-how-to-restart-frozen-begin-troubleshooting.html
Hope that helps.
