Stuck on connect to itunes screen and not recognised in windows

ipod 4  is stuck on connect to itunes screen and itunes or windows will not recognise that its connected. My iphone connects straight away so its not the pc.

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.

  • 8Gb Touch 2nd gen problem. Only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem

    I have an iPod Touch 8GB 2nd gen and it's only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem.
    Any idea what I can do to fix this?

    you can connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode:
    Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
    Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
    After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device
    and restore it to default settings, in order to remove your password (or just remove your password directly from the iPod touch, in order to sync with iTunes)

  • My iphone 3gs is stuck on connect to itunes screen and it keeps looping with the apple icon screen if I try to reset it, can anybody help?

    Please help??? I have tried the reset and it seemed to have made it worse, now it won't charge completely. Any ideas?

    Ignore sandeep.  Don't use DFU mode.  You need to use recovery mode.

    Placing your device into recovery mode
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.

    Hi all- I'm new to this online community of Apple support; my iPhone 5s is stuck on a screen that has the connect to iTunes icon, this started after I upgraded to IOS 8.1.1 from the beta to fixed version; I don't use iTunes and have an IPad, home PC, office PC, and Galaxy Tab, and I went through (failed) the process of installing itunes on my office PC but needed to update windows; after going through all redommendations I could find, including Apple phone support, I still haven't had success.  Does anyone know a way to get my phone past that screen?  I don't have time to keep doing updates and installation attempts;'I don't care about the content at this point; but I can't get to the settings to "reset all" and start from scratch; I bought i loud for storage and have an old 4s that has a broken screen butt still works and I have another active 4s on my plaN.  Im not tech savvy myself; but I know some community members are pure geniuses! !I just need a fast way to fix this bug;'I use it for work and it's been inaccessible all week, the only time I have to go to an Apple Store is this weekend; I don't want to move to the iphone6 because it's too big.  I didn't know this community existed; it's cool; for this issue, I just have no time for a new phone or phone support again; I'm posting this question as a last resort; any feedback is appreciated......and I apolo in advance if this post goes under the wrong thread

    No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • Ipod touch is stuck on connect to iTunes screen and won't restore settings.

    So, I'll start from the beginning.
    I wanted to update my twitter app, so i installed it but it took ages and so i pressed the home button and the top button at the same time. Then the apple logo appeared for over 30 minutes. The screen then went white and the 'connect to iTunes' screan appeared.
    After connecting it to iTunes a box appeared saying iyune has detecehed an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod beofre it can be used with itunes. OS 5.0.1 Software Update So when i try to restore it the normal box comes up saying everything will be deleted. So i click ok, and another box comes up with iOS 5.0.1 Software Update. As i try to go through with this update when there are 8 minutes left to it my iPod automatically disconnectes itself and this message comes up again about the ipod is in recovery mode (above)
    And now i dont know what to do as i cannot restore my ipod from my ipod or from my computer? I have tried re-starting it and i have the latest version of itunes.
    Please help:)

    Maybe this:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

  • My iphone 5 is stuck on connect to itunes screen and i do not have a computer with itunes. what do i do??

    help

    The iPhone has gone into recovery mode and you have to restore by connecting to a computer with iTunes and follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.  If you do not have a computer with iTunes, a friend with a computer with iTunes, can you get to an Apple store genius bar and see if the techs will restore for you?

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service

    My phone is stuck in "connect to itunes" screen and will not budge. I did the recovery thing and it still will not change. PLease  help.

    Hello Melanie229,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    Based on what you are describing I would next connect the phone to the wall charger that it came with, and reset it.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try the restore again.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • My iPod touch is disabled and has a passcode but it won't let me type in the passcode it's stuck on connect to iTunes screen help!!!!!

    My iPod touch 8th 3rd gen is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and won't let me do anything and iTunes won't restore it or do anything because there is a password on it and I can't type it in on the touch since it's stuck on this screen help please I've tried doin the power and menu button to restart it and it goes right back to connect to iTunes someone please helpme

    Try again placing the iPod in recovery mode.  It can be tricky. The computer should say it discovered an iPod in recovery mode.  Recovery mode bypasses the passcode (and erases the iPod).  If not successful, try placing the iPod in DFU mode.

  • My Iphone is stuck at the "connect to Itunes" screen and in Itunes itself it only shows a blank screen.

    While fully restoring my Iphone it is stuck at the "connect to Itunes" screen and in Itunes itself it only shows a blank screen.
    I already tried different computers and tried a DFU firmware restore. My iphone is not jailbroken or some.
    It does just have a new screen due the fact it was broken.
    Sometimes Itunes says my iphone is damaged, sometimes it only shows a blank screen.
    But whatever I do, I cant go around the "connect to Itunes" screen.
    Anyone any suggestions? please help.

    Did you find a solution?
    My touch is doing the same thing.
