Please Help! Ipod Touch Gen 5 stuck in restoring mode.

I purchased a Ipod Touch Gen 5 32gb for christmas and i just brought new songs from itunes and i plugged my ipod in to update the songs, itunes came up with a message saying "itunes has detected ipod in restoring mode, you need to restore ipod before you can use itunes." So i clicked restore and after 40 min it said completed but again the message came up. After restoring it about 5 times, nothing changed. I disconnected my ipod from my pc and it just has the image of the itunes symbol and the usb cord. I have the lastest itunes verson. Ive tried everything but nothings worked and i dont want to jailbreak it. Please help!

Try:
- 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.

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.

My Ipod touch 5th generation stuck in headphone mode

My ipod touch 5th gen is stuck in headphone mode and it is showing "headphones" on the volume bar though i have disconnected it.The sounds of songs and apps are,nt working in the external speaker whereas only ringtones are working.
PLEASE HELP REGARDING THIS. THANK YOU.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
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. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

any help would be appreciated
thanks
dave

Hi addvi,
The "Other" category, normally should represent the Upgrades and firmwares you've installed, notes, calender informations...
However, sometimes your iPod's memory can become corrupted, probably as the result of an interrupted sync.
The unique way to get around this is to Restore the iPod Touch. Sorry for any inconvenient, this may cause you!
Once, you can't restore the iPod, try doing it on another computer.
Hope this helps!

My iPod Touch 4g is stuck in Apple Mode after attempting to install the Siri GUI. What can I do to restore?

I have an 8GB, 4g iPod Touch. It has the lastest iOS on it (iOS 5). Yesterday I used Cydia to jailbreak it. I had no idea what I was doing but I followed step-by-step instuctions and it worked! Needless to say, I've messed up several times (while rebooting) and I am now a Pro!! Lol. Anyway, today, I was installing the Siri GUI software onto the iPod. It was a long and drawn out process and I'm assuming that I did it wrong. It was stuck in the black screen with the little (loading) loop. It sat there for about 30 minutes. Sometimes the loop would spin, sometimes it would just be there. Finally, I pushed the Home and Power buttons at the same time and I got the Apple Logo. And this is where I am stuck now.
I have tried a number of things, such as:
* Holding down the power button and hoping that the "slide to power off" screen would come up. No response.
* Holding down the Power AND Home buttons at the same time thinking the "connect to iTunes screen" would come up. The screen just goes black and then the Apple Logo comes back up.
* I've tried connecting to iTunes but it doesn't recognize my device. My laptop doesn't even "ding" when I plug it in. I've tried changing the USB port that I have the cord plugged into. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I've restarted my computer. I've went through the Apple Support troubleshooter and dealt with the "third party conflicts".
I'm not sure what else to do here. I realize that I probably should not be downloading, jailbreaking and attempting to 'mod' my iPod- I don't even know what DFU mode, GUI or most of the other hi-tech words mean. I am just pretty good at following directions, lol.
Can someone please help??
I'm using a Windows 7 OS on my laptop, not MAC.

I suggest try getting it back to your stock iOS and forget about jailbreaking.

My iPod Touch 4 is stuck in recovery mode & iTunes doesn't recognize it

I ran an IOS Software Update on my Ipod Touch 4, during which the Ipod totally locked up. Then the iTunes icon appeared on the screen, with a power cord symbol. I plugged it into the computer, and opened up iTunes. iTunes said the iPod was in recovery mode and that it could only open it if it was restored. I ran restore, which I was very hesitant to do; but I had no other option. It took a very long time, but appeared to be working properly, no error messages appeared during the restore. It took hours to restore.. At the end of the restore process, I expected the iPod to reboot or another screen to come up on the iTunes page on the PC. Instead, nothing changed. The iTunes page stayed the same, the iPod stayed the same, with the same "iTunes" screen. After an hour, I unplugged it. I went online for a solution, followed the instructions to put it into DFU mode after iTunes quit recognizing it altogether when I plug it in. The iPod screen is still stuck on the "recovery mode" screen. I have the most current version of iTunes on the PC, running it on a Windows PC with Vista. I love my iPod and ran the software update for maintenance, and instead it locked it up and made it unusable. It is no longer covered under warranty. I tried the health check with Apple, but they can't communicate with the iPod because it's in recovery mode. Please help! I live in a town with no Apple store.

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

My iPod Touch 3G is stuck in recovery mode.

I've tried different ports, I've disabled firewall and completely uninstalled antivirus and anti-spyware... I've used shift restore, I've tried DFU mode, no other computer to try it on, though.... I'm completely stuck. I have Windows 7 running most recent itunes. I go through this every time there's an update and eventually it would just finally take, but this is a new computer and I've honestly spent every moment that I'm home trying to get this update through.

My iPod (4 gen) is stuck in recovery mode and it will not restore. How do I fix it?

So here is what happened: my iPod went dead and when I went to plug it in to charge I noticed it wasn't doing the normal little battery charging symbol nor did it pop up with the apple symbol. When I opened up iTunes it told me that my iPod was stuck in recovery mode and that the only way to fix it was by restoring it. As much as it pained me to do so I did it anyways. It did the routine update and restore window, I waited the 28 minutes, but still nothing. Now when I go to restore it a window pops up that says that the iPod cannot be restored because the iPod update server cannot be contacted or is currently unavailable. I'm at a loss. This the the only form of communication that I have available to me and I need it fixed A.S.A.P. Please help!
Additional Details
My iPod is NOT jailbroken.
Now it says and unknown error occurred (3194) please help!
The lock/hold button on my iPod is broken. My iPod cannot be locked, unlocked, or shut down using this button.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Ipod Touch 3G is stuck in recovery mode, but Itunes wont recognize it.

Hey,
yesterday evening, I updated to iTunes 10 and then after that updated my Ipod touch to the latest OS 4.0.2. somewhere along the way during my ipod updating, the cord got pulled out of my PC and I quickly plugged it back in. but it said there was an error during the installation and now my ipod is stuck in recovery (shows the logo and then the itunes and usb screen. it is recognized by my pc just fine, but says its in recovery mode. yet my itunes will not recognize that it is plugged in at all. So I can't even try and fix the problem via itunes. there seems to be nothing to do. Any help would be great.
Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I think it has something with iTunes and not just the PC.

Please Help! Ipod Touch Gen 5 stuck in restoring mode.
