My Itouch keeps saying "connect to Itunes"

I connected to itunes and updated itunes, and it said my itouch needed to be restored, but gives an error message when i try to do that. the ipouch wont get off the 'connect to itunes' scrren. the other night i charged it and it magically worked...for 2 songs. then it shut off and now its back to the 'connect to itunes' screen again. do i need to send it in or is this something i can fix???

Any error numbers given when you try to restore? Did you try to connect in recovery mode to restore? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

3rd gen appletv that keeps saying connect to itunes

I have a 3rd gen Apple TV that keeps saying connect to iTunes but I have to disconnect from iTunes and then re-connect to make it work. I have two other apple TVs (one 3rd gen and one 1st gen) that don't have this problem. I have them hard wired into a NETGEAR gigabit router and switches. I have reserved the IP addresses for the computer with iTunes and the Apple TVs so its not being reassigned another IP address. I can't for the life of me get this one Apple TV to stay connected to iTunes. Also, when I check the devices I can use with Airplay, this Apple TV is rarely listed as a device even when I'm streaming to it. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there left over stuff on the Mac that might be doing it? I did found an entry in localhost as leftovers from the old jailbreak, that's been fixed but I still keep getting this error.

Why does it keep saying connect to itunes

i cannot use most of my apps as it keeps saying connect to itunes to get push notifications. my notifications are of and i have connected to itunes but t still says that and nothing else happens. how can i stop this?

Well you're just a problem there John!
1. If you already downloaded and paid for a game, you can't be charged for it again, so you can delete it from your iPad and redownload it. OR
2. Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and in iTunes, sync your iPad, then open it by clicking on it from the left side of your screen. Once open, click on the apps button above and make sure you sync the game over.
Again, once you've paid for something you can't be charged again.......you'll get this sorted.

IPhone keeps saying connect to iTunes but won't restore what should I do?

I bought a 5C and it was working fine, but needed an update and had the person I bought the phone off had their iCloud still on. I asked them for the password but as he didn't know me he said he didn't trust me so I looked online and it said to force it to restore I should put it in DFU mode then plug it in to iTunes and it will restore. Now it just displays a iTunes logo (in red) and a lightning cable and arrow. Basically telling me to plug the phone into iTunes but i do and it won't restore, i try to restore it and it says error 1, 3,18 or 2006. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! What should I do?

My iPhone 4s keeps saying "connect to iTunes"

okay, this is long so bare with me. So I earased everything off my phone and set it as a "new phone" so I could downald iOS7. When iOS7 finished dowloading, my phone said "connect to iTunes" so I connected it to iTunes. It was almost finished adding everything back onto my phone when it said it couldn't be finished. I decided to sync it again, and it said all my music and apps were being synced back onto the phone. When I check iTunes to see if it was still syncing it said it had finished so I checked my phone and it said "connected to iTunes" so I disconnected it, when I did that, my phone said "connect to iTunes" so I connected it again and it synced again, and I kept on doing this until I tried connecting it in recovery mode, and restoring my phone, nothing has worked. Someone please help me.

Instead of doing full reset try going into General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings - it worked magic for me after trying all other tricks mentioned on the web. You won't loose any data BTW.

IPhone won't exit recovery mode/ keeps saying "connect to iTunes"

I recently updated my iPhone 6 plus to iOS 8.2 everything was going fine, I was able to download the new iOS. I was updating the phone when suddenly iTunes informed me that I had to restore the phone in order for it to be updated. I gladly did. And then after a while, iTunes informed me again that the device could not be found (or something like that, "like the computer can't find the iPhone"). And it went into recovery mode. It just kept showing "connect to iTunes" on the screen. I have tried restaring and reseting the phone but it comes back to the "connect to iTunes" (even though it is connected) and when I try to restore it again, the same thing happens. It's stuck in recovery mode and I can't use the phone. What should I do?
A friend of mine told me that I should not have updated to iOS 8.2 right away because it still has some bugs (?). And that this is the reason why I couldn't get past the recovery mode. Is this true? Any insight would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Ooops sorry about that. It must've been 8.1.2 then? I honestly don't remember.. I wasn't paying attention when I updated since I regularly do it for my iPad, other phones. Anyway, whatever is the latest version of the iOS, it got me stuck in recovery mode.
really sorry about the 8.2 Info

HT4972 I am trying to set up my iPod Touch, and I already have backup data on iTunes. However, on my iPod Touch it says "Connect to iTunes" when I click "Restore from iTunes Backup". But even though I connect it to iTunes, it still says "Connect to iTunes

My iPod Touch just keeps saying "Connect to iTunes" when it is connected to iTunes. I've tried everything, too.

Since the maximum OS X version for an eMac is 10.5, how are you running OS X 10.7.5 on the eMac?

HT1430 i erase my device it says connect to itunes what do i do next

i erase my ipad and it keeps saying connect to itunes what do i do next

Connect it to your computer with the cable and launch iTunes - do exactly what it is telling you to do. You must set the device up again using iTunes since you erased it.

Hey guys, I'm trying to update my itunes but it keeps on saying error, and when i try go onto itunes it keeps saying connection restarted!!

update keeps saying error when i try download the new itunes and when i try and go onto my itunes it keeps saying connection restarted, check connection!! any help would be appreciated!!

A few things to try.
Download iTues from here http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
and save it on your PC, it's generally best to do this if you are having problems.
Try using a different browser for the download.
If you are using a wifi connection, try a wired connection if you can.
This problem has been associated with router problems also accessing the internet via a wireless dongle.
Try restarting your router.
But in the end if none of this helps the simplest thing is to get a friend to download iTunes for you and put it on a memory stick. Preferable checking that it works first.
