My Ipod touch won't get into factory settings

When I try to restore my IPOD Touch, it loads and then its says that mty IPOD will restart and go into factory settings mode but then it goes back to the apple logo on my IPOD touch. Anyone out there have a solution for me?

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer
Maybe:
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 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.

or
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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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.

My 2nd gen. ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and it won't slide... Shows lock symbol at top. What do I do to fix it???

My 2nd generation ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and won't let me slide to open. It shows the lock symbol at the top. This is my first time to have one so I'm a little lost... Is it fried or is there a trick to unlock and get it open? Yes, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff and I have no manuel to read and learn from. Someone please help!!!!

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults.

IPod touch disabled, cannot get into recovery mode or unlock to enter passcode.

I've got an 8GB iPod touch that is disabled, cannot be unlocked, and it will not go into recovery mode. When I plug it into iTunes, it says "iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can be used with iTunes." At the top is a red banner that says "iPod is disabled connect to iTunes" and it won't let me unlock it to enter a passcode and I've tried the recovery mode where you plug it in when powered off holding the home button, but I guess the iPod isn't updated enough for it to work (doesn't look like the new Apple OS) because when I do that, it just powers on like normal. What do I need to do because I'm definitely at a stopping point. Please help me get this iPod into working condition.

Try Recovery Mode again. Timing is critical so it may not have been done correctly the first time. Detailed instructions at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

My iPod touch won't go into recovery mode

I have a first generation iPod touch, with a slightly broken home button (I have to press it really hard to work).I had just erased the memory off of it, and it had rebooted. As it starts up, it keeps getting stuck on a screen with an Apple logo, wth a loading circle below. The circles spins for a few seconds and then stops. I have tried hard reset (home and power button). I have also tried home and power button for ten seconds, and then just home button for ten seconds. I have tried that numerous times, while in iTunes, and while out of it. I really need some help, as it has no warranty left, so I cannot return it.
Thanks in return,
P.S I really would apprecciate any help.

This program my place the iPod in recovery mode:
RecBoot iPod-1.0.2-Mac-Jaxov.zip - File Shared from Box.net - Free Online File Storage

HT201263 Ipod touch won't go into recovery mode

I have a 4th gen ipod touch and i reset to factory settings but it is frozen with the apple logo with a gray lined circle. I've tried running out battery and when i connected to itunes, it flashes gray and freezes again. I don't know what to do plz help.

it wont turn on after reset to factory settings

there is a program called recboot. you can download it for free in two parts. one part takes your device out of recovery mode and the other puts it into recovery mode. ive used it before but it doesnt always work and you have to be patient. try it and tell me what happens

IPod touch won't turn on after restoring it to factory settings!!

I restored my ipod touch 3g (32 gb) to factory settings last night because I'm supposed to be selling it to someone today, but now, more than 12 hours later, it won't turn on! I only get the start up screen with the apple logo and that little loading sign but nothing else! I tried pressing the home and top button all at once but nothing changes! Any sort of help would be much appreciated!!!

My iPod touch won't turn on unless pluggged into wall outlet!!

Hello. A while ago, my iPod started shutting off randomly, even though my battery was fully charged. After it shut off, I would turn it back on, then it was fine. However, as time went on, the time from when I turned it back on(after it randomly shutting off) to when it would shut off again, started to decrease. Soon, my iPod could not stay on for more then a couple seconds.
Now, my iPod touch won't even turn on unless it is plugged into the wall power source. It will even rarely turn on when plugged into the computer. I have reset its settings, and also erased all the data. After doing this, I tried to unplug it from the power source to see if it would stay on, and it did not. (still, when the iPod is plugged in, it says it is fully charged.)Also my iPod is updated to the most recent software.
I am unsure of why this is happening, and quite upset because I have only had this iPod touch since the Christmas of 2010. Is this a defective device, is something wrong with the battery, or is there something wrong with the software?
If I could have advice for fixing this problem that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You can try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. However, you likely have a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store might be useful.

My ipod touch won't respond. Shortly after I downloaded IOS 8, it quite responding. How can I get my pictures recovered?

My ipod touch won't respond. Shortly after I downloaded IOS 8, it quite responding. All I get is the Apple sign. I connected to my computer and tried updating and was able to download the USB connection for the device but received an error when it tried to update the ipod. Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from the device before I try to recover? At this point my pictures are more valuable to me than restoring the device. How can I get my pictures recovered?
Now it looks like I have the Apple with an line under it on the screen, but still not responsive.

Check for hardware issues

These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

try pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears.. this worked for me when my ipod touch didnt turn on or show the apple symbol.. hope this helps

My ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

Likely that the battery is dead. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for this price:

There are third-party places which may be less expensive. Here is one. Google for more.

My 1st generation Ipod touch won't turn on at all and whenever I press the buttons to reset it all I get is a white screen, or a white screen with black lines across.

You can work through the five 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of corrupted software.

It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.
