My iPod touch is stuck in a looping thing. No matter what I select for a song, it plays over and over again. Help!

My iPod Touch is looping on the same song, I can't figure out how to get it out of the looping thing, can anyone help?

Check to make sure the loop button on the top left that turns blue when you touch it doesnt have a one under it. if it does then press it and that should fix it, if not try holding the home button and the at the top of the itouch for a few seconds until your ipod restarts.

IPod Touch 4g stuck in a loop

Ipod Touch 4g stuck in infinite loop?
I accidentally left my iPod touch 4g on all night on an alarm clock app. When I woke up it was stuck on a loop where it goes to the lock screen for 2 seconds and then back to a black screen with an apple on it for 6 seconds. I can not get it out of this loop this sequence flashes back and forth continually until the ipod runs out of battery. I can still sync the iPod and it is still recognized by the computer. I have tried restarting it and turning it off doesn't work. I have even restored the iPod's software and it still doesn't get out of this loop. Please help me!!

Try the recovery mode as a last resort:

My iPod touch is stuck on the apple logo screen. What do I do?

My iPod touch is stuck on the Apple logo screen. What do I do??

Hello Melissa,
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. You may need to try this more than once.
Any luck there?

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 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.

Help! Ipod touch 5g stuck in recovery loop and cant restore

Hi. I have an ipod touch only a few weeks old. All was fine, but last week I started to experience dramatic reductions in battery life (flat in 12hrs, even if properly powered off).
I now have the "connect to itunes" logo on the screen and the ipod is not working.
Connecting to itunes, it requires a restore, but I am stuck in a loop of downloading, not recognising and then starting again.
I can see the file (all 900mb of it):
C:\Users\J\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates\iPod5,1_6.0.1_10A523_Restore.ipsw
But it just keeps re-downloading everytime I click restore - even though the file is already there. During the download, I think the ipod/itunes connection disconnects and then reconnects as you get a new "ipod in recovery mode warning".
Considering this file is nearly a gb I am reluctant to try any more. Is there a way I can force it? The ipod is otherwise not working at all now.
I have turned off my firewall per the advice elsewhere on here.
Cheers
James

Wow. I solved this.
To force the restore after downloading, but without the downloading again:
- Disconnect and then reconnect the ipod (important in my case)
- Hold the shift key and then click "Restore" SUPER SECRET or what!
- Navigate to the file as per the above.
Hope the restore happens before the next disconnect (did in my case)!
Sorted.
Now I hope my battery lasts better than before - was going flat overnight, even if turned off properly.....

IPod touch 2G stuck in boot loop

My iPod touch 2G 16GB is stuck in a boot loop: I see the apple logo, after a while the screen goes blank, and then the apple logo appears again.
How can I restore it now? Is there a way to do a "safe boot"? Resetting using hold and home for 10+ seconds yields the same result.
As for how I got there: an app complained about being "out of space" yesterday and today, but checking the general information stated some 50 MB of free space. Later today Mail.app couldn't move a mail into the trash, and deleting mails in the trash was not possible, either. So I decided to reboot the iPod, and I'm stuck since.

Many thanks for your help! I had to do it in a slightly different order (press hold and down for 20 secs, once the IPT tunrs off, let go of all buttons, then press home and keep it pressed, then connect to USB, keep home pressed until "connect to iTunes" appears), put your post was what put me on the right track!
Many thanks again!

Help!!! I'm locked out and My Ipod touch will NOT go into recovery mode no matter what I do...I haven't read this problem anywhere!

My grandson got his little hands on my ipod and has locked me out. I now get the red lable of doom and it tells me I must connect to Itunes to fix it. Problem is I don't have the orginal computer I synced up with. (It crashed about 5 weeks ago). Well I didn't think that would be that big of a deal becuase I have a lot of junk on my Ipod and had been thinking about re-formating it anyway. Well I've tried every method out there and I can not get this thing into recovery. I powered it off. unplugged the usb cord from the Ipod but left it plugged into the computer. Held down the Home button and plugged in the USB cord. the little apple logo comes up. Then after about 10 secs it goes right to the disabled screen.
I also tried it on different computers and tried different usb cords, I've tried also going into DFU mode...nothing it just goes right to the password screen...HELP...I've not read about this problem anywhere.

IPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi no matter what

My white 8gb iPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi, I have reset the network and the entire iPod. When I got it for Christmas 2011 it worked perfectly for a few months then all of a sudden it stopped connecting, every connection I try to connect it to says the same thing; unable to join network... I am getting fed up, my first gen iPod Touch will connect to the wifi no problem, but the thing is it keeps crashing. I can't use it for more than a couple of minutes and it goes back to the home screen. If anyone could help, it is greatly appreciated!

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Is the iPod Touch 2nd Gen no longer usable? Is this what is store for all Apple products?

I am very disheartened with Apple. I have loved the iPod touchs up until now. It seems the iPod Touch 2nd Gen no longer download apps that work on the 4.2.1 iOS. I was just selling my wife on Apple products and now this has shut her and I down on all Apple products. I hope I am wrong but is Apple partaking in planned obsolesence? If so, planned obsolesence is not marketing and I will be looking at other brands when it comes to electronic devices. If not, how do you download apps for an iPod touch 2nd gen running a max iOS of 4.2.1? Thank you.

Don't despair Look at "Vintapps" in the Apple app store. It has tons of available apps for all those earlier ios devices. And you can download them right to your ios device. Many are free.
Although I wrote this 99 cent app specifically to help solve this problem, I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."
Be sure to keep backups of older software. Once an app is updated, the older version is no longer available to be downloaded from Apple.

IPod touch 3g stuck on boot apple logo

Okay so earlier today I entered recovery mode because It was stuck on the boot logo. After I factory reset it and upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 it still does not boot up? I'm not sure what to do so...

- Next try placing the iPOd i DFU moade and then restoring:

- After that, let the battery fully drain. Then charge and try again.

Try switching it back from landscape to vertical. Or, go to settings and see if you have any special setting turned on that enable only landscape view. Also, try hooking it up to your computer and charging it to see what happens.

My iPod touch is stuck on one song in my play list when in the shuffle mode. How do I fix this to shuffle through all the songs in that playlist?

If you go to the Now Playing screen, the Repeat control is the the arrowed racetrack icon on the left side right below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon to change. It is white when Repeat is off.

The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I turned it off and back and its still stuck zoomed in. I also tried to reset it and that didn't work either. Please help.

The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I don't know how it happened I just looked down and it was like that. I have turned it off and back and even reset it but it still keeps zooming back in each time I turn it on. I can't unlock it because I can't see the numbers and it won't let me move around the screen. Please help.
