I have an ipod 1g and it has the usb and itunes symbols but when i connect it to itunes it say unnable to connect ipod becuase you need to type in the passcode but i cant because of the symbols. 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.

My ipod screen shows a usb and itunes

My Ipods screen is stuck on the screen showing a usb and itunes symbol. I have reset it and still nothing. It does not show up on My Computer, or device manager or Itunes. I try to restore it on itunes and it gives the message that there is no ipod recognized or once it popped up that the ipod was passcode protected, I cant clear the screen to use the passcode. Help!

You'll need to connect the device to iTunes and restore it. If iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod still, try manually placing it in recovery mode first and then performing the restore in iTunes. See this article for instructions on putting the iPod into recovery mode.

Just a thought, but maybe consider returning the device. Seems it might be a bit too complicated for you.

I was recently given an ipod touch and the only screen it will show is a usb cable and itunes symbol. I've tried the troubleshooting stuff on this website but it still won't work. Any ideas as to how i can fix this?

My Ipod touch only shows a usb wire and itunes symbol when i turn it on. it does not show up on my itunes or in my computer. ive tried the troubleshooting stuff(reseting the ipod, reinstalling the newest itunes, restarting the computer) and nothing has changed. my ipod shuffle connects to my itunes just fine though.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

HT201406 when ipod is switched on the screen shows a usb cable symbol and itunes symbol, why is this

when ipod is switched on the screen shows a usb cable symbol and itunes symbol, and it wont let me switch it on even though it is fully charged up, why is this?

It is either an erased iPod or an iPod that has a problem. The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer via the USB cable and restore via iTunes. For how to restore see:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

ITunes/Window 7 Creative XiFi Stuck in Stereo and ITunes Crashes

@ITunes/Window 7 Creative XiFi Stuck in Stereo and ITunes CrashesuI am about to return my Creative X-Fi USB card, cause it doesn't seem to handle anything other than 2 channel audio.
The Creative X-Fi driver only shows 2-channel audio in it's driver config, which leads me to beli've it can't do 5..
The first time I put ITunes into surround mode, I was installing the Creative software, it prompted to install. I said yes, and it crashed. A few reboots later... Now everytime I put ITunes into Surround mode in play back it crashes every time. I've uninstalled the driver and reinstalled to no avail. ITunes can't go into surround mode for HD video playback.
I am using the optical connection to my stereo,? the creative software doesn't seem to recognize it as a 5. device.
What am I missing here? 5. shouldn't be this hard to get working..
thanks!

I have the same problem (I use IE 7 as my browser). I have had the same problem with all the versions 7.1 as well. There have been numerous posts about it and it seems that Apple does not want to fix this. I uninstalled it and reinstalled version 7.0x via

I was updating my iphone 3gs and when i came back to check on it, all i had on the screen was a usb and itunes logo. error -1. now my phone won't work. what do i do?

I have a iphone 3gs and while trying to update tot the new software my phone gave error -1 and went to usb and itunes logo page and says it is in recovery mode. I have tried to get it out of this mode but have had no luck. My iphone is not jailbroken, so i don't know why this is happening.

The device is in recovery mode. Connect it to iTunes and the computer and you need to restore it.
