My iPod touch is stuck on apple logo and isn't recognized by iTunes

My iPod touch gets stuck on the apple logo and won't let me get to the home screen. I tried plugging it into iTunes but It was not recognized. When I hold the power button down it tells me to charge it. When I do it gets stuck on the apple logo again. Please help!

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

IPod stuck on apple logo and isn't recognized by my computer

Hi, my ipod just today, got stuck on the apple logo and when I held the menu and center button it would reboot and would get stuck again. Also, I tried hooking it to my computer and setting it in disk mode but, both of my new computers don't recognize it. So, I decided to see if I could run diagnostics mode on the ipod by holding the center and rewind button but, I can't even access that for some reason. I seriously need some help here folks.

I have the same problem. Everytime I try to reset it loops back into the apple logo. But the apple logo is different isn't it? The screen is black with the logo white. Isn't the screen supposed to be blank with the apple logo black. I can't remember anymore I've been staring at this screen for days now.
Before it started looping I actually did get to run a diagnostic check. It didn't help though. It would go through everything then try to check the firewire. At that point it would just wait for me to plug in the firewire. Isn't that for older ipods?
At another point I did get it to go into disk mode. But when I would try to restore or update an error message would come up or I would get the folder with the exclamation point. But now all it does is loop into the white apple logo.
Can anyone help?

Ipod touch 4g stuck on book logo and wont connect to itunes, also computer sees it as a t mobile mytouch???

ipod touch 4g will only turn on when connected to the wall outlet OR I have a portable charger plugged into it and I can plug into PC that way. Computer sees it as T mobile mytouch and asks me to install drivers for it. iTunes doesnt see it at all. My ipod is now stuck on apple boot logo. I can get to itunes restore screen but computer wont recognize it to restore it to set up. Should I just junk it? iOS 4.2.1

Start here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Then try a restore.
You may also have to place the iPod in Recovery mode or DFU mode to allow a restore

Ipod touch 3G frozen on Apple logo and loading circle sign thing

My ipod touch 3G randomly turned off this morning and when i turned it on, it got stuck on the Apple logo. i have tried resetting it, but it just comes up with the apple logo and the loading circle sign thing. i cannot restore my ipod, as my computer that i sync my ipod with is curently dead and the charger isn't working, so i am waiting for a new one. Therefore, i cannot restore my ipod onto our desktop computer. Itunes on the desktop computer still recognises the ipod and charges it as well, though it won't sync and i can't try restoring it and it just won't work properly. This is a major dilemma.

Hey Fellow iPod user,
Try holding doen home and sleep
or you can try this
1: PLUG YOUR IPOD INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!!
2: HOLD THE "HOLD" AND THE "MENU" BUTTON UNTIL THE TOUCH'S SCREEN GOES BLACK AND SHOWS THE APPLE LOGO AGAIN THEN RELEASE THE BUTTONS!!!
3: WAIT ABOUT 5-15 MINUTES!!!
4: YOUR COMPUTER WILL MAKE A "CHIME" SOUND AND THEN THE IPOD WILL SHOW THE LOCKED SCREEN WITH THE BATTERY LOGO...
Cheers.

lllaass thank u bro, but none worked for me
i have tried all these methods n above which i mentioned before....
- 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
in the end i went ot market n paid him 1.94$ and he restored it to 6.1.5... and said apple has closed other ios updation except 6.1.5 ...but still thank u soo much learned some new stuff from u...

Ipod touch 5thgen stuck on Apple logo after updating to IOS 6.1

I updated my ipod touch to the latest version 6.1 and after updating it restarted and was frozen at the apple logo screen since Monday. I tried calling Apple Support and they went through the steps of getting into recovery mode as well as trying to reboot my ipod touch but I first had to update & restore first through iTunes. I wasn't able to update because my connection kept timing out so I decided to download the ipsw file from this website: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
After waiting a whole day for the download(because my internet connection is really slow), iTunes said that the ipod could not be restored because firmware was not compatible. I tried both version 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 and both came with that error notice. I don't know what to do now and I really need some help! I've tried holding the home+lock key many times and went through the whole procedure but nothign seems to work. It already says that my ipod updated to 6.1 but its just stuck at the apple logo. Help me Please!!!

IPod Touch 4G Stuck On Apple Logo Screen

So I just recently jail broke my iPod touch 4G and was using iFile to delete some default apps and stuff that was taking up space on my device. I only need to use the Music app, so all of the other default apps can be erased. I must have accidentally deleted something in regards to the music app because I am not able to transfer music onto the device using iTunes. I turned my iPod off then and turned it back on and this is where the major problem came in. It's stuck on the Apple Logo screen and will not boot back up or anything. I have tried putting it in DFU mode and doing every kind of reset or restore and none of that has worked. Now it doesn't even show up in iTunes. Unfortunately I don't remember every thing I deleted when using iFile, so I cannot provide much information regarding that. My iPod has worked perfectly fine until I jail broke it, which I probably shouldn't have even done but none the less if someone has any possible genius solution to my problem, I would appreciate you leaving a comment. Thanks.
