Stuck on iTunes screen, help?

Just installed Apple TV, and now it is stuck on screen with the iTunes logo and shoeing cable hooked up to Apple TV.  I have restored three times and it keeps going back to that screen.  What am I doing wrong?

  • 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.

    Try  these troubleshooting steps.
    If that Article did not resolve it... then perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
    Note:
    That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • IPod stuck on "connect to itunes" screen, Help.

    Ipod touch 2g 8gb.
    Here is my dilemma: Stuck on "Connect to iTunes" screen
    The iPod wont change screen, no matter how i boot it up.
    And it does not show up in itunes or finder.
    It shows up in itunes when i boot in DFU mode (I think) but displays a warning that ipod is in recovery mode and need to be restored before it can be used with itunes. Now, when i click OK it disappears from the side bar and returns me to my library.
    I have also tried to connect it to 2 different PC's and no trace of it shows up anywhere.
    I have tried countless methods from youtube and google but got no satisfactory results.
    I read a few places that iPod touch's cant be bricked. I have never tried any kind of jail break for my iPod.
    I have run out of ideas.
    Any Help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I tried all the suggested fixes, too, including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. In the end, I had to disable my security and it let me restore the iPod Touch then.
    Still can't get my music onto it again, but that's another discussion topic.

  • Ipod Touch Stuck On iTunes Screen. The iPod 'iPod' cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.

    I got a new ipod touch for Christmas.
    Today I was going to put music on it, i was told there was updates.
    So I went ahead to do them.
    My Ipod is stuck on the screen with the usb cord pointing to the itunes logo.
    In Itunes i'm told :
    Itunes has dected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes.
    Turning the ipod off - the same screen appears when it's back on.
    When I click restore ipod and after restore and update is clicked ; Extracting software loads up at the top.
    When its done this is the message I get:
    The iPod 'iPod' cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.
    I've been looking up trying to figure it out myself and have read making sure a setting in Lan Settings in Internet Properties has ; Automatically detect settings checked. I still get the same ipod message.
    I've tried holding the power and home key to turn it off, then powering it back on. But that doesn't work.
    I installed itunes today, so its up to date - I checked.
    I don't know what else to do.
    Can someone help me out, please? :}
    The operating system was ios 5 something? It wanted to update to 6 i believe.

    I've tried the top part but now that i've looked to the bottom:
    Additional Information
    The “hosts” file may also be blocking gs.apple.com.
    Select the hosts file (normally you can find your hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC).
    I put this in the url bar?
    When it gives me the list of names, im not sure what to do from there. The steps aren't that clear for me.

  • My screen is frozen on the connect to iTunes screen. help!

    I bought my iphone 4 in Australia on contract and unocked it. then i came to Singapore and its been working fine for the past 10 months, but only recently i updated my phone for the first time and it would not recognise my sim card. so i connected my phone to my computer, and when itunes opened it told me that my sim card was not recognised on my phone. now i thought by updating my phone apple recognised that it was unlocked so they just locked it again. i didnt understand the difference between jailbreak and unlocking a phone. so during the state of the phone being my normal screen page with no sim shown, i tried jailbreaking the phone so it could work again with my sim card from singapore, but as it re booted, it froze on the emergency screen with the attached to itunes screen. now i dont know what to do? my phone is locked, i cant use it and its extremely frustrating as i need to use my computer asap. please help me asap!
    thank you!

    I posted a new question while ago almost like this, no jailbreaking, so I need help.
    I started restoring phone 10 hrs ago. iTunes still shows "restoring iPhone firmware" and phone stuck on the screen showing usb cable up to iTunes.
    ITunes is not locked up, but it's never taken this long to restore. I need phone asap because it's my daughters b-day today and  expecting calls...
    Fixing to manually shut windows down and attempt start over.

    Hi FrickJawn
    My iPhone was also stuck for 2 whole weeks.  I thought nothing could be done after I went to the Apple Store in 2 different locations whose personnel told me 'buy a new iPhone'.  So stupid of them technically when around the world, the same problem recurring million times.
    Try this link :  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    It helped me to restore my iPhone fully in working order.  Good luck to you

  • IPod stuck on iTunes screen

    Hi all,
    I have a 3rd gen iPod touch currently jailbroken on iOS 4.1. It was working fine until a few days ago when I was listening to music and the screen suddenly became unresponsive. The buttons would still work and the music would still play but the screen was useless. I couldn't turn it off so when the battery ran out eventually I connected it to my PC to charge and it gave me the iTunes screen. Whenever I open iTunes it says my iPod's locked with a password and it can't access it and there's no where for me to enter the password on my iPod itself. At this point I'm left confused about how this problem came out of the blue, so I would appreciate any help on this issue

  • Stuck on itunes screen

    ok so, I have an iphone 3gs with its original sim card. Although it is no longer connected to its att network, I would like to let my toddlers play with it, but I can not get pass the itunes emergency call only screen. The phone was previously reset, I tried to connect to my computer, but it is not even showing up as a device in itunes. I tried home button/ power button home button rest thing. Didnt work... Can anyone can me advice on how to get to a home page? I thought this would be easy like an ipad, but I have been proved untech. Thanks in advance

    Try and force iPad Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. 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.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
