My iPod Touch shows USB and arrow pointing to iTunes

It's a newer generation that I bought a while back, but i tried to system restore so my little brother couldn't access my vital applications that i had installed previously.
Whilst plugged in, it said that a system update and iTunes update was required. However, neither fully finished. Instead, the iPod touch shows the generic USB cord with an arrow pointing toward the iTunes symbol.
Is there anything that i can do without having to pay for it to be fixed???

First get the latest version (10.6.3 ) of iTunes to install on your computer. See the following if necessary:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
The connect the iPod and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in DFU mode and restore if necessary.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • I just uploaded IOS 8 to Ipad mini and I get cord and arrow pointing to ITUNES?

    I just uploaded IOS8 to ipad mini and get the cord and arrow pointed to ITunes (black screen behind) .  I have goggled every website and instruction on how to restore with home buttons and on/off and cable connected to Ipad and computer and continue to get the same picture .  Please can anyone help me?

    hi, I have the same exact problem today and mine is also an iPad mini
    all I do is connecting my iPad to itunes (make sure you have the latest version) and then a pop-up appears and it gave me two option 'update' and 'restore'
    choose the update and let itunes downloading the ios, I don't know if this might happen to you but after sometimes another pop-up appears to say the download failed and I need to restore my ipad, I choose to ignore it (by clicking restore and update > cancel) because on my first attempt I click update and it suddenly re-downloading from zero, and it keeps appearing for every 10 minutes so I just choose the 'eject ipad' option and keep the itunes downloading the ios
    once it finished downloading connect the ipad, choose update, the apple logo will appear on your ipad with a stripe below
    it takes a long time to update the ios on the ipad but please be patient because it might took a long time
    after a depressing 15 hours of downloading and 1 hour of updating I managed to get my ipad back with a new ios and without losing any data (please note that I don't have any backup of my files and using my friends pc to do all the steps above)
    good luck and sorry for my bad english

  • Tried to update my iphone5 and it went straight to black screen with and arrow pointing to itunes symbol. I don't have a computer and need to use my phone ASAP.

    I tried to update my iPhone 5 and it went straight to. Black screen when a power cord and an arrow pointing to itunes. I googled what to do Nd it says to plug it into itunes on your computer but I no longer own a computer. I HAVE to have my phone for work and am not happy In the least with the help I've revived from Apple. I need help ASAP.

    There is nothing that you can do except do what the phone is asking you to do and plug it into a computer to update it with iTunes.
    I think Apple would have given you the same response too because there is nothing else that you can do - there is no other way to update the phone except by plugging it into a computer and using iTunes.
    There is nothing we can do if you don't like the answers you are getting, but there is nothing else to do and it is hardly Apple's fault if you don't own a computer any longer.  Unfortunely you need a computer for this, so there is really no work aounrd.
