My iPod Touch is stuck in Recovery mode and would not respond. Please Help!
Hi! I have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation 8GB. Yesterday, I tried to update to iOS 4.0 from 3.1.3 by way of shift-click restore because my iPod was jailbroken. When the restore process was about 95% done, I received a "Send Error Report" and in every time I do it whether if I am downgrading back to 3.1.2 or 3.1.3.
My iPod touch is still stuck in DFU/Recovery mode. I tried using another of my USB cable, USB port, and computers but to no avail. I even reinstalled iTunes and I still get the same result.
Please does anyone know how to fix this?
Restoring and updating normally also produces the same result.

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 3g stuck between recovery mode and apple sign
Hello everyone,
I was hoping someone could assist me... I have an iPod Touch 3g (32gb) that is stuck in recovery mode. Once in a while, it'll go to the start up Apple Logo... but then it'll go back to the recovery mode/connect to iTunes screen. To add to the fun, sometimes it would go into regular iPod mode and I can surf the net, and do regular things. However, when it goes into that mode... the screen would flicker between the regular screen and a greyish screen. At that point, I shut the iPod off... but when I do that the iPod will turn itself back on (yes, it's strange).
Anyone with any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have tried to recovery the iPod on iTunes... once it "succeeds", it goes back telling me to recover the iPod again so it's basically looping. I've tried to recover this device with another computer with iTunes... same result. I can't get this thing on DFU mode.. as it won't respond to it. I've also tried various USB cables.
Is there any hope? (or any ideas in terms of what could be causing the issues)
Thanks a bunch.Thanks, I'll try it out, and update here. It might take a little while for the battery to drain without being used.

IPod Touch 4g stuck in recovery mode and lock button broken
A few days ago my lock button stopped functioning, and seeing as I'm not brave enough to try and fix it myself and I haven't been able to take it to get fixed anywhere yet, I just enabled the internal lock button feature and, frankly, hoped for the best. This afternoon I connected it to iTunes because after updating to iOS 6 too many things have been going wrong. There was an error message (I can't remember which one :S) but stupidly I decided to restore it (mainly in the hope that iOS 6 would sort itself out I guess). Once it had finished extracting files, there was another error message, which again I can't remember, but it was something along the lines of iPod cannot be restored basically. Then it went into recovery mode, and I've been unplugging, plugging in, shutting down my computer and all sorts of things all evening. As far as I can tell, the only way out of recovery mode is to hold the lock button and the home button down for thirty seconds ish until the apple logo comes up. Except my lock button doesn't work. I guess I'll just try and get it fixed this weekend but if there are any other solutions that would be awesome! Thanks!
- Let the battery fully drain and try again to restore after charging for at least an hour.
- Try on another computer

How do I get out of recovery mode, that my ipod touch suddenly went into, after updating last night? It does not recognize my ipod anymore and I don't want to restore it back to factory conditions. I have tons of things on the ipod and don't want to lose them! Is there any other way to get out of this 'recovery mode'??
No. You have to restore. To allow the restore try the following:
- A reset.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Manually placing the iPod in Recovery Mode
- Placing the iPod in DFU mode.

IPad 2 stuck in recovery mode and does not respond to usual cures.
I wonder if anyone can suggest what further I can do to get an iPad 2 16MB WiFI model out of recovery mode. The machine was previously working normally but after a charge would not turn on. It connected to iTunes on a Windows system when started using the home button press before USB plug method. iTunes reported the iPad in restore mode even though the diagnostic tools menu in iTunes said that the ipad was not connected. The Windows system device manager showed that the Apple USB driver was loaded but did not show the iPad as a device. However, running restore from iTunes seemed to work correctly with the progress bar showing on the iPad and the information bar on iTunes showing installation of software and firmware. iTunes then said that the iPad would restart - but it did not. It just stayed in restore mode. A new USB cable made no difference and the same thing happens when I repeat the attempted restore on another Windows system. I have done the attempted restore multiple times as has been suggested is needed. I also let the battery run flat before doing restore attempts. Both Windows system were cleaned of everything non essential and the iTunes is up to date. Doing the restore from DFU mode gives the same result. I have occasionally had the error code oxe8000084 reported by iTunes. Am I dealing with a hardware fault?
This is the error report from iTunes which despite saying that device connectivity fails - seems to be able to see what is on the iPad.:

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.

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.
