New iPod Touch stuck in recovery mode during initial setup

I am trying to set-up my daughter's new iPod touch 5th Gen. When you try to connect to iTunes message says "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes". Even when you disconnect from computer it is stuck on screen telling you to connect USB to computer. Two of her friends also got this iPod for Christmas and are having the same problem...during initial set-up. I've tried the system updates 3 times. iTunes recognizes the device, but the computer is not recognizing it as a drive. I've tried both my Mac and my Windows PC. I've tried hard resets. You can't remap the drive because the device doesn't show up. Most of the apple support topics address if iTunes doesn't recognize the device in conjunction with it not being recognized by the drive. Obviously a problem with the new update because several brand new iPod touches wouldn't be having the same problem. Please help if you've found a solution. Happy New Years!

See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

Does the iPod charge when connected?
Have you tried another computer?
Have you tried another cable?
Some users have reported defective Lightning cables came with their 5G iPod. Some did not word from the beginning and for some the cables failed after a very short time.

New iPod touch stuck in charging mode

I just opened my iPod 5th gen, and I tried to charge it, but it just stays on the "charging" icon. And when it's not plugged in, it goes black. What do I do?

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

Brand New Ipod Touch stuck in restore mode straight out of the box :(

My Daughters xmas pressy .. ipod touch brought from apple online store will not sync to any of our PC's (Vista or XP) , have latest itunes installed ,have tried restore (numerous times) , rebbots, restarts all the usual stuff but restore always fails. Any ideas folks ? Have a very disapointed teenager here at the moment. thanks

Well first just to let you know the "connect to iTunes" screen or also knows as "the usb cable pointing to iTunes" means to connect it to iTunes to initially set the ipod up. Now if you already have done this or dont get the option to try forcing into recovery mode and then restoring the ipod followed in this article. Also make sure your computer and iTunes is up to date with the latest software.
If not i would try connecting it to anther computer with iTunes 9.0.2 installed and then call Apple if that doesnt work since you purchased it from the Apple online store.

New iPod Touch stuck in recovery mode?

I've watched a ton of videos on how to get out of recovery mode, nothing works.
They said hold the home/power button till it restarts, then after 5 seconds let go of the home button. etc........ However it is going back to the Itunes logo/cable...
Note-
It wont restore when i try, it says error code (6). or something.
Ive tried to restore on 4 different computers.
Ive re downloaded Itunes, and have the latest version.
Ive restarted the computer.
So frustrating...... anyone able to resolve this problem???

I'm presuming you first completely uninstalled iTunes and any Apple-related programs from your computer and then restarted before reinstalling iTunes? I had the same issue as you but after making sure I'd completely removed iTunes etc, restarting my PC and then reinstalling iTunes before doing a final restart, I was then able to restore my Touch and get it out of recovery mode ****.
If this still doesn't work and you've tried it on different computers then you may have to phone Apple themselves.

My iPod is stuck in headphones mode

MY iPod wad playing through its speakers and then I locked it. When I went to play it again, there was not way to control the volume at all so I plugged headphones in and unplugged them. Now my iPod is stuck in "headphones" mode and won't play through the speakers. Any ideas on how to help?

- Try cleaning ou/blowing out the headphone jack. Insert/remove the plud a dozen times or so
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a bad headphone jack.

My ipod is stuck in headphone mode

My ipod is stuck in headphone mode. What can I do?

Hello Mom, More than likely the switch inside the headphone port is stuck open. try the see if there is a foreign object like lint or dirt in the port, if there is try to blow it out or gently remove it with a toothpick. If that is not it, most likely is not, try plugging and unplugging the headphone jack quickly several times about 12 time should do it, to unstuck the switch. Otherwise, if you believe it to not be hardware try resetting the iPod, press and hold both the power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears (about 15 seconds) then release both buttons. if that does not work try Settings>General>Reset>Rest All Settings. If still nothing Restore from Backup or last resort Restore to New. If all fail contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck.
One more thing... make sure you backup everything on your iPod before you restore or you will lose stuff. Cheers.

Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

IPOD TOUCH STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE GRRR:(

Hey guys, so i ordered a second hand Ipod touch (2nd gen) from Ebay and it seems to be stuck in recovery mode. I tried doing the whole press the two buttons at the same time to get out of that mode but it just goes back to the same image! I need to get it connected to itunes asap but when i do, itunes doesnt recognise it! The seller provided me with a USB as i only have an iphone 5 and my laptop AND my computer does not seem to recognise it. Do u think i just need a new USB?????? Everything is up to date such as Itunes. I need to get this fixed asap as im going on holiday soon and i need all my music! Someone help!!:(

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

IPod Touch stuck in recovery mode

I have the original iPod touch and recently got the newest one (with the new usb) for Christmas. My car can only use the old usb hookup so I use it to listen to music. I plugged it in and it was updating the songs fine and then I went to bed. When I woke up in the morning, it was in recovery mode and had the error 1 message. When I tried to restore it, it wouldn't let me because of this error message.
I called Apple and they told me that it was my fault for falling asleep and that it timed out and went into recovery mode. They told me that the only thing I can do is pay for it to be fixed or a new one. It is extremely frustrating that you can't get it out of recovery mode and that it automatically chooses that for you. It was working perfectly fine until I wanted to put a new playlist on and now I can never use it again. I tried new cords, new ports and different computer. Restarted my computer and updated my software on my computer and iTunes.
I also find it frustrating that Apply Support blamed me for this issue when I had no choice in the matter! Now it's completely ruined and I can never use it in my car again. I have everything Apple (comp, iPad, phone, new touch) and appreciate their products. However, I really dislike that the support that I got, blame was placed on me and the issue wasn't resolved. It just makes me question if this happens to my new phone, or new iPad- will they be pooched too? I just don't feel comfortable now plugging my devices into my computer if this is going to happen and since you can only purchase Apple Care on a product twice- it's like they have a two year shelf life. Super frustrating!
Has this happened to anyone else? Did you get it o
