My ipod touch is freezing when it tells me to restore what do i do!

i tried to upgrade to the new software thinking it would do nothing to my ipod but it did now it is constantly in recovery mode i cant do anything with it it tells me to restore it so i try and it freezes whilst in the middle of restoring any ideas

Take a look at this link http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/troubleshooting/ipodtouch/
I would suggest removing itunes through add/remove and then installing the latest version 7.6 and then hook your Ipod up and reset it while it's hooked up.
To Reset you do this
1. Turn iPod Touch OFF completely.
2. Plug iPod Touch into PC/MAC while still off.
3. Turn iPod touch on, then IMMEDIATELY do the following steps
4. Hold the 'Home button' and 'sleep/wake' button together for atleast 5 seconds.
5. The Apple logo will appear
6. When this happens release the 'sleep/wake' button BUT KEEP HOLD OF 'HOME' BUTTON
7. Your iPod will reboot (Apple logo)
6. iTunes will recognise iPod in 'Recovery mode'
8. You will be able to 'restore' your iPod Touch now.

  • Ipod Touch screen freezes when syncing

    After my ipod touch 2G fell victim to the white screen of death, i decided to use an ipod touch 1G we had. After updating itunes, i updated the ipod's software to 3.1.3. After the update and the backup (pre-restoration) everything was fine with it until the sync started; the ipod screen would freeze with the apple icon on it and the status bar around 1/4 of the way to completion. When itunes shows that the content completed syncing and the ipod was ready to be disconnected the logo and staus bar stayed put. After disconnecting the screen still has no change, doesn't go dark or lock or anything. I tried putting it into recovery mode and restoring it several times. Help?

    If the screen remains on and you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset, recovery mode and restore as appropriate. If the iPod acts the same as before then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my iPod touch keep freezing when I attempt to turn off iCloud Keychain in the settings?

    Everytime I try to turn off iCloud Keychain, my iPod's
    Screen freezes and automatically turns iCloud Keychain back on. I really don't want ICloud Keychain and it has been a while since I tried to turn it off.

    Maybe:

    There is probably something wrong with the cable that connects it with your computer. Try getting a new one?

  • My ipod touch camera freezes

    My ipod touch camera freezes when I try to use the camera.

    I have had the same problem. I have a iPod touch 4th generation and this is the second time this has happened and the first time I just needed to clean the camera but this time both won't work sometimes the shutter will stay there and not move or it will show all the buttons but the screen will be black the actions will be faded.i have done the multi task bar restored it cleaned it and I don't want to send it ti apple. If u get a camera app from the app store like Camwow or camera! App it will show up then it will freeze and go back to black so when there is a new I pod or ipone I am going to sell my iPod to get a new apple device so clean it and update an restore if it still dose not work then u can wait or send it to apple or call apple supports number.

  • HT201210 My Ipod-touch was ios5 when I bought. You recommend to upgrade ios6, because set-up icon always shows me "+".  For that on facebook I can't see wall photos. So I want my ipod touch to be back as initial version ios5. How can I do? please tell me.

    Unfortunately, I don't think it solved the problem. I believed the new iPod thing solved the weird behavior problem, but after that the button stopped working.
    Do you know how to contact Genius? Because I don't think I can find a store in my area, when I tried to.

  • IPod Touch 4g freezes, unfreezes after lock/unlock

    My iPod touch 4g freezes after a while when you're doing nothing.
    e.g. If you keep swiping to different app pages, it won't freeze. But once you stop and pause for a while, it freezes.
    Then when i lock it, and unlock it, the touchscreen works again. And then it's back to the above problem.
    Is this a problem with the digitizer? Or is it a software problem?
    (iPod Touch has been jailbroken a few times, but is currently factory restored in an attempt to solve the problem.)

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store if still problem since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    The BT profiles on the iPod do not support direct iPod-to-iPod use.  There are apps that support peer-to-peer gaming between iPods and maybe transfer like for photos.  Also see:
