Please Help! Ipod 5th gen stuck on restoring

I started downloading the ipod touch software from Itunes on my Windows PC( File size 1.20GB) and then I started updating my device.
When it finished downloading my itunes closed & my device was stuck with the picture with the Itunes Logo and the lighting connector.
I did not know what to do cause my device could not sync with Itunes. When I tried again I had to update Itunes to its current version, but it still did not conncet util I had to find the problem and fix it. Before I fixed the synching error I put my device in DFU mode and the Ipod starting to restore & extract the files.
After it finished extracting the files my ipod turned off & on Itunes it said waiting for Ipod, & then timed out with an error. Then the second time it happened is when it switched of again but when I turned it back on another error poped up saying unable to restore Ipod.
I have been strugglinng fpr 5 days, watching videos how to fix this, reading articles onn how to fix this & even looking up at this community & searched through everything but nothing worked.
Every time I swich my ipod on that Itunes sign stays there.
I tried over 9 times resoring but still the same errors and still the ipod turns off.
Does anyone have a solution cause I tried searching for all kinds but none work.

Try on another computer with a different cable

Ipod Touch 5th gen stuck in restore mode

My Ipod Touch 5th gen stuck in restore loop i keep clicking restore and i just keeps downloading the ipod software update, and i wont restore it just keeps saying that a ipod was found in restore mode..... Can someone please help

The same thing happened to me, while restoring my iPod Touch Generation 5. I don't know if you are still caught in the same loop but this worked for me. I am using a MacBook Air running Mountain Lion version 10.8.2. iTunes is at version 11.0.
After running through the published Restore procedure without any success I found the Software Update file had downloaded as:
"/Users/my_home_directory/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/iPod5,1_6.0.1_10A523_Restore.ipsw"
The ~/Library directory is invisible on my machine, more than likely a design standard. I used a terminal to first locate the file and then to copy the file to a readable location, my Desktop.
My iPod was still stuck in Recovery Mode so I plugged it in. iTunes was already running and identified the Recovery Mode iPod, prompting me to Restore it. I clicked OK.
I held the option key while clicking Restore. This opened a navitation window that enabled me to select the Software Update .ipsw file I had copied to my Desktop. The Restore process then ran without any failure and the iPod is now running again.
This is not a formal solution as far as I can tell, nor have I verified the procedure across multiple iPods, multiple scenarios, etc. I just wanted to share it as an "at-your-own-risk" alternative you might want to try.
Good luck, cupcakequeen83.

Please help, 60gb 5th gen, error (-69)

i bought a 60gb black 5th gen iPod off ebay, and when i plugged it in, it started uploading my music. it got too about 2,500 songs (about half my library) and it freeze's and come up with an error message, saying something along the lines of 'unknown error cannot read file'. I've tried again and again, resoring the iPod and such, but it comes up with the original error message and the (-69) error message. It's not my computer because i had a perfectly fine iPod nano (untill i lost it). can anybody help? I have contacted the seller but as it's 11 o'clock they havn't replied yet. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it greatly! thanks

Help Ipod 5th Gen not charging! :(

i have an ipod 5th generation and my charger is playing up (what a suprise)
when i plug my charger into the plug socket and to my ipod my ipod turns on, but it does not say that it is charging and then goes off within 10 minutes this does this over and over again everytime i plus my charger into my ipod 5 i really need help!

If that doesn't work then try a hard reset it doesn't actually reset it but it will fix it hopefully
Step 1 DONT HAVE IT PLUGGED IN UNLESS YOU WANT IT JACKED UP
Step 2 Press and hold BOTH Power/Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds
Step 3 Reply, if it works go to Step 3-A if not goto Step 3-B
Step 3-A Click "This solved my question"
Step 3-B Reply with what happend
Step 4 IRL-LOL

Ipod 5th gen stuck in disk mode

i need help. i've tried the different suggestions in discussions to no avail. when i plug my ipod up, it says it needs to be restored . i click restore, it runs the process and says it'll start back up and never does. i unplug it and it says run itunes to restore. please help

Okay ... rather than doing a full format, let's instead see if we can do a disk check, and see if that gets the ipod to the point where a restore will "take" properly on the iPod.
There's vista instructions in the following document. Check both "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors":
[Check your hard disk for errors|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors]
After the check disk, can you successfully restore the iPod?

Ipod 5th gen stuck in recovery mode.

When i plugged my iPod in it would turn on to the apple logo and then switch off again.
i held down on/off button and home, it then told me to connect to iTunes. usually when it does this i restore it and it is fine.
I plugged it into my iTunes and it will extract the software, then start restoring it.
after about 5-10 seconds of restoring it it switches off and iTunes gives me an error message.
I have had error 8, -18 and also one which was 2000 and something that i can remember off the top of my head.
How do i sort this?
I have updated my mac software to the new OS X yosemite to see if that helped but it hasn't.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Try restoring on another computer. Thgose error numbers are not listed here:

Disabled
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.

Hi, my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode because i tried to get the ios 7 on it and now i just want it back to it regular ios i please need help

hi my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode ive tried everything and nothing is working

Only developers have access to the iOS 7 beta and then also have access to the developer forum. Thus, if you are a developer go the the developer's forum.
Otherwise you have a bootleg coy of iOS 7 and are on your own.

After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup

iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

That is so dumb...Apple is the best and most techinological company IN THE WORLD and they don't have the time to invent something like that? HUH? All they are worried about is making the "Worlds best Phone" and they can't take the time out to help their users or anybody that has their products. All they have is "Find mt Iphone" Well they should step up and do something else to help people like me out. Find a way to turn it on and you can find it or find a way to turn it on remotely.
Thank you for your replys

Ipod touch (2G) stuck in "restore" mode. Need HELP please

I have contacted Apple support several times since Friday and was just hung up on by an extremely rude lady in customer support. I am really frustrated and just trying to get my 5 yr old little boys ipod touch working again.
The situation is that our son's old computer crashed. So we have a newer computer set up for him. Reinstalled itunes on it. Called Apple on Friday, really nice rep gave me several instructions for transfering purchases, making sure everything was up to date and turning home sharing on. Did all that, got off the phone with him and then the computer tells me that the ipod needs and update.
Clicked ok, and update starts going for a few minutes.....then get an error message that says that the ipod is basically stuck in "restore" mode and needs to be reset to factory settings. It won't let me do anything to the ipod. It won't restore, reset, anything. Just shows a picture of usb cable and says to connect to itunes.
Connect to itunes and it keeps giving me say error message.
Will someone please help me? Apple support sure won't.

Did you try to connect in recovery mode, to start the restore process again? Connecting in Recovery mode is explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Also delete the ipod ipsw firmware file on your computer, to make iTunes download a new copy to restore from. Depending on your OS, this file can be found here:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
Vista and 7: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
