My screen shows a USB cord and itunes logo

what does a USB cord and itunes logo mean on my screen

It means AppleTV software has a problem such as corruption - the unit will not start and it's asking you to acquire a microUSB cable (eg some portable external drives), hook up AppleTV to computer using this lead alone and restore the firmware on the unit to current shipping version.

HT1459 why is there a picture of a usb cord and itunes logo on my ipod touch screen?I cant access anything on my ipod touch.

why is my ipod touch showing a picture of an usb cord and itunes logo?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

You have to connect the iPad to your computer with the supplied cord and be running iTunes on the computer. You need the latest version of iTunes which you seem to have - but read the article.

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

HT201413 I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again?

I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode, however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again? I have updated and restored 5 times! When connected to itunes it only shows the summary page saying ipod in recovery mode.

Fixed it!
1. Made sure itunes software was up to date
2. Pressed and held 'home' button and 'on-off' button at the same time for about 10 seconds till ipod reset (I hadn't done this step previously)
3. Connected to itunes
4. Pressed restore and update ipod
Update successful and ipod taken out of recovery mode

My screen shows a USB cord and itunes logo
