My itouch is stuck on "connect to Itunes" screen and wont restore.

Ok so I tried to do the software update but now when I turn my itouch on I get the connect to itunes screen with the picture of a usb going to itunese logo. When I do connect to itunes it says its in revovery mode, so I have to restore it and delete everything in my Ipod (WHICH ***** A LOT). But when I tried to do that it just says my files are corrupt and it cant be done. So what can I do? I tried to do the DFU thing but it doesnt work. Please help!

Try on another computer with another USB cable.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    ipod 4  is stuck on connect to itunes screen and itunes or windows will not recognise that its connected. My iphone connects straight away so its not the pc.

    Try:

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Re started iphone after powering down, now is stuck in connect to itunes mode and wont do anything else. also has no service

    re started iphone after powering down, now is stuck in connect to itunes mode and wont do anything else. also has no service, I was able to retrieve all of my photos so the device is functional on that level. have restarted several times & also have restored data from i tunes. it said my phone is damaged.

    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

  • IPod Touch still stuck on connect to iTunes screen after the restore. iTunes went blank.

    Hi, I'm having problems with my iPod Touch. My iPod went off because the battery was empty. And when I tried connecting it to my laptop to recharge, the "connect to iTunes" screen suddenly appeared. According to iTunes I need to RESTORE it for it to work. And that's exactly what I did. However, after the restore and all, the screen is still stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen.
    By the way, it's a 2nd generation iPod Touch. And it's an MC model.
    And to make things worse, my iTunes screen is totally empty. The RESTORE option is gone and I really don't know what to do anymore.
    Hope you guys can help me out! I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

    I really don't know what happened but my iPod Touch is working now!!! Thank you so much! I'm not really sure if it went to DFU mode or not but all of a sudden I can access iTunes App Store already!!! WOOOOAAAAHHHH! And it asked me to type in a new name for my iPod! So everything's good! Thank you so much! Thank you! You have no idea how happy I am right now!
    For my iTunes:
    Thank you!
    P.S: Grrrrrrrr! My bad! I'm new here and I kind of messed up the Correct Answer and Helpful Answer buttons. Sorry. Dunno how to change them.

  • My iphone 3gs is stuck on connect to itunes screen and it keeps looping with the apple icon screen if I try to reset it, can anybody help?

    Please help??? I have tried the reset and it seemed to have made it worse, now it won't charge completely. Any ideas?

    Ignore sandeep.  Don't use DFU mode.  You need to use recovery mode.

    Placing your device into recovery mode
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.

  • HT1430 cannot get my phone off of connect to itunes screen and wont be recognized by itunes

    i tried to do a restore on my iphone after updating software on my phone due to several other problems.  now i am unable to turn off phone.  it will not come off of the connect to itunes screen.  however when i connect to itunes it does not get recognized as a device on itunes

    Hey courtnoah,
    That sounds frustrating! I'm here to help. It sounds like your iPhone is currently in recovery mode. This means we will have to restore the device. However, if the device is not recognized in iTunes we'll need to refer to the following information:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    The most relevant information may be in Section 5: "Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed" and excerpt "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode". If those steps do not immediately resolve your issue, please follow the rest of the article.
    For more troubleshooting on recovery mode, you can also refer to the following:

    Thanks,

  • Ipod touch is stuck on connect to iTunes screen and won't restore settings.

    So, I'll start from the beginning.
    I wanted to update my twitter app, so i installed it but it took ages and so i pressed the home button and the top button at the same time. Then the apple logo appeared for over 30 minutes. The screen then went white and the 'connect to iTunes' screan appeared.
    After connecting it to iTunes a box appeared saying iyune has detecehed an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod beofre it can be used with itunes. OS 5.0.1 Software Update So when i try to restore it the normal box comes up saying everything will be deleted. So i click ok, and another box comes up with iOS 5.0.1 Software Update. As i try to go through with this update when there are 8 minutes left to it my iPod automatically disconnectes itself and this message comes up again about the ipod is in recovery mode (above)
    And now i dont know what to do as i cannot restore my ipod from my ipod or from my computer? I have tried re-starting it and i have the latest version of itunes.
    Please help:)

    Maybe this:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

    The iPhone has gone into recovery mode and you have to restore by connecting to a computer with iTunes and follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.  If you do not have a computer with iTunes, a friend with a computer with iTunes, can you get to an Apple store genius bar and see if the techs will restore for you?
