Recovery mode on a brand new iPod 5g?

When I connect my iPod to my PC, it says that it is on recovery mode, and it says that I have to download the newest IOS and restore it, I already had the IOS 6.0.1.  I can't use my iPod, and when it ends, nothing happens. what should I do? Thank you.

Ok, have you tried this yet?
Restarting and resetting iPod touch
If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPod touch, forcing an app to close, or resetting iPod touch.
Restart iPod touch: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If you can’t turn off iPod touch or if the problem continues, you may need to reset iPod touch. A reset should be done only if turning iPod touch off and on doesn’t resolve the problem.
Force an app to close: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then hold down the Home button until the app quits.
You can also remove an app from the recents list to force it to close. See Opening and switching between apps on page 17.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Let me know how it's going.
Regards, Richard

  • Itunes always showing my brand new ipod nano as in recovery mode

    I just got a new ipod nano (not the latest model the one thats taller than it is wide - model number A1320). I downloaded itunes for the first time and connected my ipod via USB to my laptop. A popup appears telling me that an ipod in recovery mode has been connected. I restore the ipod to factory settings like it tells me to but when it resarts and pops up in itunes it still says it is in recovery mode.
    I plug the ipod into my friends laptop and it works fine (he has an older version of itunes)

  • 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.

    Hope it helps!!

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer

  • Brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64gb problems with first power on

    I have just received a brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64 gb from amazon. After reading the instructions i tried to power it on but nothing happened.
    It was suggested on here to try the recovery start but again, nothing happened.
    I then plugged the device in to a wall socket charger to see if the battery is flat,but the apple logo comes on for about 15 seconds then goes off again. If I hold down the home button while the apple logo is off, after a while the ipod goes into recovery start up, but as soon as i unplug it from the wall socket adaptor it turns off.
    It will not do anything plugged into the usb soccket of my laptop.
    Any ideas or will I have to return this to amazon?

  • HT201263 Daughter has a brand new ipod.  Locked herself out of it within an hour, not synched, no itunes, nothing.  How do I unlock it?  Please help!

    My daughter has a brand new ipod, she has put in a passcode but can't remember the proper sequence of numbers she chose.  It's brand new, less than an hour old, so it has not been synched to a computer or connected to itunes.  I've tried to restore it but no luck.  Please help!

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

    If i restore it will my notes still be there, i dont want to restore original settings or something like that .
    please help me what do i do?

    You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
    After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
    If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
    If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

  • Brand new Ipod Touch can't been seen in Itunes

    Hi there,
    I hope someone can help as this is driving me mad!
    I have just received a brand new Ipod TOuch but when I connect it to my PC per the installation instructions I get the following message "Itunes could not connect to the Iphone because an invalid response was received from the device"
    I have uninstalled all Apple products from my PC and reinstalled most up to-date version of Itunes.
    I have tried different USB ports.
    I have stopped and re-started the "Apple mobile device" and "Ipod Service" services.
    I have done all of the above in various combinations and re-started my PC numerous times.
    None of this makes any difference.
    The Ipod does not appear in my "My Computer" but when go into device manager on "My Computer" it is listed there so it would appear that my PC can see the Ipod.
    I tried it on another laptop and a brand new installation of Itunes sees the Ipod fine, no problems.
    However I have previously used an Ipod Nano on this PC and this I think is what is causing the problems.
    I have listed below the content of the Itunes Diagnostics file in the hope that that will help. I see that it does mention the Ipod Nano previously used.

    Okay, I had this same issue as soon as I updated to iTune 8.2. Someone gave me an idea about renaming a certain file, which I thought worked for a little bit. The issue came back and I am back in the same boat!
    The bad news is to find a version of iTune 8.1. Uninstall everything and then reinstall iTune 8.1. This has worked for some; however, some have even had to restore their iPod Touchs!
    I am giving in and doing this tonight. I waited as long as I could for the fix. My wife has an iPhone and we have NOT upgraded her iTunes to 8.2 because I have read iPhone users having a similar issue. If her iPhone died, then that would be ultimate deal breaker.

  • Brand new Ipod touch useless within 10 minutes of opening it.

    So I have a brand new Ipod touch that I bought today and took home. I opened it connected it to itunes and everything was fine so I pressed the update button and something happened. I don't know what happened and itunes didn't recognise the touch any more. I unplugged ipod touch and every time I turn it on it shows the itunes and usb. Every time I plug it in it asks for apple mobile device (something mode). Itunes won't recognise it and ipod touch worthless.
    I tried looking for the driver in common files and it just says it can't find it.
    What the **** am I supposed to do.

    You can do several things.
    1) You can call Apple support and they will help you through it.
    2) You can go to the top of this screen, click "Support", then type "apple mobile device" or whatever your error is, into the search support bar. If you do this you will get several articles designed to help through several situations.
    3) You could look at the manual and see what it says.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf
    After you have tried these options, you could post back as to what you have tried and what errors you are getting.

  • Brand new ipod touch 3 frustrating slow wifi

    Dear all, I just opened my brand new iPod Touch 3 yesterday and it connected to my wifi network without any issue.
    But then, the browsing has been a joke. Not a funny one. It is slow like you have no idea. I could load only 4 pages in the whole evening. The google front was one of them.
    I was sitting right next to the router. It didn't help.
    I cannot say I was loosing the connection. Only that loading any page was next to impossible.
    My provider of internet is www.get.no in Norway.

    Update: I previously advised the following quoted manual set up. I thought had solved problem but it returned. I now have found I think the real root of slow iTouch on Airport Wifi Network. Seems wireless telephone is interfering on 2.4 freq. Channel for 2.4 Freq was set on 1. I have now changed to channel 6. I have now being operating Two iTouch at same time for several hours with no freeze and acceptable speed. Anyone else having hang ups, slow operation, etc. would suggest trying channel change on 2.4 Freq., especially if you have wireless tel. in house.
    Brad
    Quote of Maculu manual set up
    You open Airport Utility, click on manual setup, enter your WiFi password, click on wireless tab, click on radio mode drop down box, pick 802.11a/n-802.11b/g instead of automatic, Now click radio channel selection and pick manual, pick any random channel for each of the 2 frequencies.
