IPod 5 stuck in recovery loop after updating to iOS 8

I own a 5th Generation 32GB iPod Touch. The other day, I tried to update it to iOS 8. Shortly after the installation process began, it went into recovery mode. I believe it's in a recovery loop because I tried using tinyumbrella to exit recovery mode, and the screen went black, the Apple logo came up like it was trying to boot up, but instead went right back into recovery mode. Does anyone know any way I can fix this?
Another note, if I can get it out of the loop, I believe I can get it out of recovery mode. So even if you only know how to get it out of the loop, that info would be very appreciated. Thank you.
EDIT: I do have a backup on iCloud, but it's from about nine months ago. I'd really like to be able to save all those photos and videos I've taken since then. I can get my apps back easily, but there's a lot of data that won't be as easy to get back.

Try the following. I expect you will have to let the battery fully drain.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPhone 5s is stuck in recovery loop after update to IOS8.1

Can anyone help me, my iPhone 5s keeps saying my phone needs to go into recovery mode, though iTunes just says i need to connect it, when i plug it in it docent recognise it anyway. The download starts however this takes 2 hours, during this time i get a message saying my phone needs to go into recovery mode!!
Anyone have a work around????

I have the same problem!
My iphone 5s screen turned blue (how ironic) when it was updating to 8.0.
had to restore and download latest update, and screen turned blue a few more times until the restore worked.
Updated to 8.0.1, and then the screen turned blue when i tried to install garageband.
And now it won't restore at all through itunes, probably because apple pulled back the update.
I just keep getting error 9 message (my router is fine, and my connection to itunes store is fine, no proxies either)
Fix this apple! starting to really miss steve jobs..!

Firefox update is constantly failing and is stuck in a loop. I don't know how to bypass this. Help

When I start firefox, it automatically tries to install an update. This fails and it repeats, getting stuck in a loop which I can not get out of. Consequently, I am unable to open firefox and use the internet on this program. I have clicked ok, closed the dialogue box and ended the program using the task manager. None of these have worked. I prefer using firefox to other browsers but have had to return to internet explorer for the time being.
Do I need to uninstall and reinstall firefox or is there another option?

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates)
Do a clean reinstall:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

How to recover ALOM Main Flash (ReFlash EPROM) ? -- ALOM stuck in a loop

Hello,
I had an issue while flashing the ALOM Main Flash of a Sun Fire v210.
Now the ALOM boot is stuck in a loop trying to load the main ALOM image.
As a result the ALOM Main Flash is broken but I can still access the
ALOM Boot Menu. I can also boot Solaris with the Jumper on FP2 or FP3
but it does not recognize the SC anymore.
Is there a way to recover it from Solaris and/or using the
"f - Wait for flash download from host" from ALOM boot menu ?

Anybody knows if the source code of scadm tool is available somewhere ? (opensolaris etc. ?)
I don't have any additional advice to offer other than asking that you to try the flash-update all over again,
one more time, as if it were the beginning again.Yes but how because the SC is not discovered anymore by Solaris :
"rmclomv: WARNING: DP_GET_SDP_VERSION failed, ret=4"
"The SC hardware could not be initialized."
Can you try to flash the mainalomfw ? Your log contained only the flash of the alombootfw !
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm download alommainfw
I guess jumper JP2 allows to recover from a failed flash by selecting the un-touched half the PROM.It does not work as the SC is not responding anymore to Solaris

It's a pitty that obtaining OBP/ALOM updates requires a service contract. I got a V210 recently.
Unfortunately both OBP and ALOM are the intial release 4.8.2 / 1.0.I agree but it's probably also because you need support in case it fails ;-)
Thanks for your answers!

IMac froze, rebooted but finder stuck in crash loop...

I have an iMac 2007 running Mavericks. Recently it has started occasionally freezing where my mouse still moves around the screen but everything on the desktop is completely frozen. After holding the on/off switch to reboot it usually comes back on and opens the folders/programs that were already in use and all is well.
However, today was different....it froze while I was using Safari....so I held the on/off switch as usual to reboot and the usual pop-ups appeared, asking me to re-open programs etc. However, since then I can't get finder to open...I have a constant flashing message saying "Last time you opened finder, it unexpectedly quit while re-opening windows. do you want to try to re-open windows again. - It gives 2 options 'don't reopen and re-open'....but the box is continually flashing very second as though it is stuck in a loop....doesn't matter what I try to press, it does the same thing over and over. It means I can access anything on my dock but cannot see my desktop files or any other files on the hard drive. I haven't done a time machine backup for a long time so wary of my next move. Ironically, I just bought a new drive for time machine and this happened before I got the chance to do the backup!!! Typical.
Other useful info may be that I think I only have around 3gb of free memory space on my hard drive right now.
I am on version 10.9.4 of Mavericks and there is a software update available.....should I try to do the software update to see if it irons this problem out or is there anyway I can backup my hard drive first or any other way of accessing my hard drive/desktop files before I do anything?
I have seen this problem related to Google Drive before but I don't use that...unless it is installed somewhere on my system without me knowing and still causing the problem?
Any help greatly appreciated....
Thanks

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste topost the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,
Jack

First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck.

Apple TV 1st gen stuck in infinite loop

Hi
This has probably been covered a few times but the only answers I could find was from an archived discussion.
The other day I was given an Apple TV 1st gen, it had not been used for quite some time, and decided to upgrade the software, when I noticed it still had old pictures and music on from the previous user, not wanting to keep these pictures, I decided to reset the machine to factory settings, which it did, but on the restart it was stuck at a loop giving me a code to enter into iTunes, and then resetting and giving me a different code.
i've tried several resets of the settings, holding menu and - together, but still having no joy.
Its never been tampered with, but its really annoying me.
Can anyone help? this is a very old product so figure something might have been done during this time
Cheers
Dave

sounddave,
I have been in the middle of the same problem for months.
I think the problem is with the software version that the older 40GB Apple TV's revert to after the factory restore. Mine reverted to version 1.0, and that is when the loop started happening. Since when did a factory restore become a factory paper weight creator!
I read somewhere that the Apple TV looks at an Apple server and the older software doesn't play well with the updated server causing it to keep rebooting. I'll try to find a link about this if I can find it again. I remember reading that it happened to a bunch of people with older Apple TV software on a particular day that Apple upgraded their server.
If you don't let your Apple TV connect to the internet, it will stop the infinite loop, but it also means you can't upgrade your software. I haven't tried it yet, but it also might be an issue with newer versions of iTunes.
I tested this by unplugging my router, and the Apple TV stopped looping.
I tried to fix this before without success, but I am really determined this time.

IPhone 4s stuck in recovery loop and is not detected in iTunes?

Earlier today i plugged my phone into my computer. I didn't transfer any files when i plugged it into itunes. I then backed up my phone, and decided to update it to 6.1.4. My computer took a couple of minutes to download it and then it was applying the update. My phone's screen went black during the process. Then iTunes gave me an error message saying that my phone could not be updated. So i try to turn on my phone and the apple logo appears and a couple of seconds later it shows the usb cable connecting to itunes. I've tried rebooting and putting it into DFU mode but nothing works. iTunes wont recognize it as a device needing to be restored. iTunes wont detect my phone at all and its stuck in a loop. I have tried everything and it wont work.

Was the phone jailbroken or hacked? That will do it especially if DFU mode doesn't work.

Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard

I bought a new iMac Oct 26. It contained Tiger, and included a disk for installing Leopard. I easily got the machine up and running using Tiger, but last night I attempted to install Leopard. When the installation was complete, I tried to get it running. A screen asking for my password came up. I keyed that in and hit logon. Back came the screen asking for the password. To make long story short, I tried everything I could last night, and then called Apple Support this morning. Took quite a while, but I was back in business this afternoon. The technician who helped me sent me the email copied below describing the solution. Perhaps it will help someone else? Romelle
Hello from Apple!

Mac OS X 10.5, iMac (Late 2007): Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard
Issue or symptom
After installing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard on a 20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer, you may not be able to log in at the login window. Your login name and password are apparently accepted, but after a blue screen appears for a few seconds, the login window reappears instead of your desktop.
Products affected
20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer with 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processors
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Solution
If Leopard is installed
Start up from the Leopard Install DVD and perform an Archive and Install installation (and select Preserve Users and Network Settings).
After the Archive and Install is complete, you should be able to successfully log in. Use Software Update to install any other updates.
Important: Install the iMac Software Update 1.3 for Leopard after the Archive and Install is complete.
If Leopard is not yet installed
If you have not yet installed Leopard on your 20-inch or 24-inch aluminum iMac computer with a 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processor running Mac OS X 10.4.x, but previously installed the iMac Software Update 1.2, you should install the iMac Software Update 1.2.1 (Tiger) or later, before installing Leopard.
Thank you,
Apple

If Leopard came pre-installed and this is a new machne, then the disks that came in the box should let you archive install preserving users & network settings. The disks have a grey label, and if you get more than one use disk #1 for this procedure.
Hold down the "option" (also known as "alt" on the new keyboards) key when starting up with disk #1 in the optical drive. Select the install disk icon on the grey screen and click the arrow. Then when you get to the "select destination pane, click the options button after selecting your hard drive as the destination. In options A& I preserving should be checked by default, if not, select them. Click "ok" to dismiss the options pane, then run the installation.
If this does not work for you, call apple support. They want everything to work. Be patient, they are real busy these days.

Help! Ipod touch 5g stuck in recovery loop and cant restore

Hi. I have an ipod touch only a few weeks old. All was fine, but last week I started to experience dramatic reductions in battery life (flat in 12hrs, even if properly powered off).
I now have the "connect to itunes" logo on the screen and the ipod is not working.
Connecting to itunes, it requires a restore, but I am stuck in a loop of downloading, not recognising and then starting again.
I can see the file (all 900mb of it):
C:\Users\J\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates\iPod5,1_6.0.1_10A523_Restore.ipsw
But it just keeps re-downloading everytime I click restore - even though the file is already there. During the download, I think the ipod/itunes connection disconnects and then reconnects as you get a new "ipod in recovery mode warning".
Considering this file is nearly a gb I am reluctant to try any more. Is there a way I can force it? The ipod is otherwise not working at all now.
I have turned off my firewall per the advice elsewhere on here.
Cheers
James

Wow. I solved this.
To force the restore after downloading, but without the downloading again:
- Disconnect and then reconnect the ipod (important in my case)
- Hold the shift key and then click "Restore" SUPER SECRET or what!
- Navigate to the file as per the above.
Hope the restore happens before the next disconnect (did in my case)!
Sorted.
Now I hope my battery lasts better than before - was going flat overnight, even if turned off properly.....
