My iPod Touch is stuck in recovery mode after I left it on while updating!!!
I was updating my ipod touch 3rd generation (ios 4.3, i think) and I saw a wasp and left the computer on in the middle of the updating process and now the ipod is stuck in recovery mode and it says the only way to get it out is to recover it, but that will erase everything!!! HELP ME!!! until i get an answer I HATE YOU, APPLE URGG
operating system: whatever the latest available to itouch is.
Without knowing what the error message said all I can suggest is:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Ipod Touch 5 stuck in recovery mode after trying IOS 7.1.1 Update
I was having fun with my Ipod as usual. I see a new update pop up. I plug the ipod to charge it but then minutes later the Itunes Logo and Cord appear and it's not good. I haven't backed it up lately due to Computer Problems and I have been taking lots of photos lately. I have tried youtube tutorials and they don't work. I don't want to lose all those precious photos. Somebody help me out here PLEASE PLEASE.
If one of these programs will not kick the iPod out of recovery mode you will have to restore the iPod.

IPod Touch 4g stuck in recovery mode after iso 5.0 upgrade attempt
Sorry that I'm late to the party and too stupid not to know better when updating my ipod touch just days after the update was released, when will I learn.
I have tried nearly everything I've seen posted in this community and others ... unpluging all usb, holding down sleep and home, re-installing itunes 10.5 ... you name it.
I can't find an answer to this problem anywhere, but rather people yelling at other people for not being able to help and badmouthing eachother because they are ****** off at Apple.
Is there any updated news on what the issue is with error 1604 or why Idevices are getting stuck in recovery mode?
Are the servers still swamped and I just can't get through?
Next time I will wait about 3 months before upgrading a new operating system (but then, I think I said that the last time I did this.)
Thanks for any help.Try a manual install, as outlined in the link below. You can kick it out of Recovery Mode using RecBoot.

IPod Touch 4G stuck in recovery mode after trying to update iOS!
so while trying to update to the newest iOS (6.1), the iPod just went into recovery mode and has been stuck there ever since. When I try restoring it, it always begins "Extracting software.." only to then tell me "The iPod cannot be restored at this time because the iPod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable".
I have tried literally EVERYTHING to restore it but it just won't work!
Also when I run Diagnostics, everything is fine, except for my iTunes Store connectivity part, where it says that the internet connection failed, even though my Internet works just fine & I can open my browser as well as browse the iTunes Store.
Someone said to let the iPod drain & then recharge for 1 hour & I'll try doing that now but I don't think it'll help much..
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO ANYMORE :-( someone please help!Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.

Ipod Touch 2g stuck in recovery mode after restore, no error msgs
Help, please. I have an Ipod Touch 2generation that was my older sons and I wanted to restore it to factory to give to his younger brother. I get the message that is was restored successfully (Windows 7, no error messages or codes from Itunes) but when that message goes away and the ipod shows back up in itunes is still says its in recovery mode. I've tried different usb cables, different usb ports, turning off my anti-virus firewall protection, using a different pc (Windows Vista) and still the same thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restoring it:

Ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode with a error code 9
my ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode and when i try to restore it getting an error code 9
Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation 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.

My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore?
Okay my Ipod Touch is stuck in recovery mode and will not restore because "the ipod software update server cannot be contacted". I have tried to restart my computer, restart my ipod, tried different computers, and re-intalled AND updated my itunes and it still will not restore. It is stuck on the picture of the usb cable pointing to itunes and won't do anything else. I'm trying to restore it because my memory was full and I wanted to clean it out and now the ipod is useless, please help me restore it!
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
IPod touch 4G stuck in recovery mode- it won't even go into DFU
When I accidentally disconnected my iPod touch 4G during an update yesterday, it automatically went into recovery mode (the screen with the USB cable pointing up towards an iTunes logo). Now it won't turn off, it is recognised by neither my laptop nor by iTunes, it won't even go into DFU, so there's absolutely no way, as far as I can tell, to fix it. I've looked all over the internet, and the only other person I can find who has experienced a similar problem hasn't received an answer in about a year.

IPod touch 5g stuck in recovery mode.
Hi.
I tried to update the software on my ipod touch 5g, for some reason the connection was lost between the ipod and the PC midway through installing the software on the ipod, now im stuck in recovery mode.
I keep losing connection between ipod and pc since trying to update the software. Basically the connection is lost then comes straight back.
My ipod shows the lead with an arrow pointing towards the itunes logo.
Itunes tells me that im in recovery mode and gives me an option to restore.
Whenever I have tried to restore it downloads the latest software then nothing happens, just stays in restore mode.
I have tried putting it into DFU mode but nothing appears to happen after following the steps.
Really annoying as the next available appointment at the Apple store is on Monday and would like to get it fixed a lot sooner than that if poosible.
Many ThanksMaybe:
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.
