TS1363 4th gen IPOD stuck in recovery mode?

4th Gen IPod stuck in recovery mode, how do I reset or restore?

Connect it to iTunes.  If iTunes doesn't see the iPod, try manually connecting the device to iTunes in recovery mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode with a broken 'lock' button.

    My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode with a black screen and I can't get it out. It has a broken lock button and I have tried everything to get it out of recovery mode. Every time I plug it into iTunes, it recognises my iPod and says 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used in iTunes, so I have restored it several times and every time, it says there is an unknown error. Please Help!! (my iPod is IOS 6.0.1)

    What is the complete wording of the error message that says unknown error? Usually more information like a error number is also given.

  • TS1538 My ipod 4th gen. is stuck on recovery mode, and it is stuck on the screen that says connect to itune. I tried plugging it to the computer with an undamaged cabel and bringing up itunes, but itunes or my computer isnt reconizing it.

    My ipod 4th generation is stuck on recovery mode and is stuck on the screen that says to connect to the itunes store. I already tried using a non-damaged cable and connecting it to itunes, but the ipod is not showing up as a device on my computer or on itunes. I cant fix the recovery screen until i can coinnect it to itunes... so does someone have any suggestions?

    - 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.

  • Daughter's iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode, won't turn on after I restore it, please help...

    My daughters iPod touch 4th gen is STUCK. Somehow it was disabled because of too many password attempts (my younger daughter was pushing numbers). I connected it to iTunes, did the press and hold power button + home button, then let go of sleep button. iTunes recognized it, gave me the option to restore it and did its thing. Here's the problem, now it won't GET OUT of that mode. After the first attempt, it wouldn't power on after I disconnected it from the computer. So I hooked it up again, and it says its detected an iPod in recovery mode and offers me the same "update & restore" option it did originally. Now what??? Please help. My daughter just got this two weeks ago for her birthday.

    or
    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • Ipod 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode

    My ipod is stuck in recovery mode and it all started when I was going to update it because it was having glitches. So I was going to use my wifi to update it but it said it couldn't because it wasnt connected to the internet, so i connected my ipod to my mac to update and the bar filled up and then it said an error had occured and couldn't be updated. Then it said it was in recovery mode and i unplugged and tried restarting it to get it out of recovery mode but it didn't work. So i replugged it into my computer and tried restoring it and it started restoring but same thing happened when i was updating it, the downloading bar filled then an error message popped up saying ipod couldnt be restored an unknown error has occured.

    Resolve communication issues
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
    Common errors: 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, or 3000-3999. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software", or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build".

  • HT201263 iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore with iTunes. Please Help!

    I had jailbroken my ipod touch then decided it didnt do much of anything, so I decided to restore my ipod. But itunes didnt finish the restore and left me in recovery mode. Now it says iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mod, but when I try to restore it, it says something like could not connect to apple restore firm and I'm back to square one.
    Any Help is appreciated!

    Jailbreaking
    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

  • Ipod stuck in recovery mode after

    My iPod touch (4th gen) is stuck in recovery mode after trying to update it to iOS5. I was able to download it, but when it would try to instal it would fail and get a system error. So now it is stuck in recovery mode and  when I try to restore it, I get the error 1611. How can I fix it to get it working again? Im on windows 7, and have the newest version of itunes. Please help, thanks!

    Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

  • TS1363 My Ipod touch 4th Generation, Is stuck in recovery mode.

    Okay, my Ipod touch 4th generation, Is stuck in recovery mode after trying to restore and update it to the latest software. The restore failed and it's now stuck in Recovery mode. I've tried everything, and it just wont work. It won't even recognise in Itunes. Help?

    I don't know if you will see or get this because issue is old but I thought I'd try anyway.  This is what happened to me.  I don't see any responses, if you don't mind me asking, what ever happened with your ipod?  This is my son's and I don't have a store around the corner so I was curious before I make a trip?

  • Hi, my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode because i tried to get the ios 7 on it and now i just want it back to it regular ios i please need help

    hi my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode ive tried everything and nothing is working

    Only developers have access to the iOS 7 beta and then also have access to the developer forum. Thus, if you are a developer go the the developer's forum.
    Otherwise you have a bootleg coy of iOS 7 and are on your own.
    PSA: iOS 7 If you're not a developer, don't install developer betas on your iPhone | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

  • IPod stuck on recovery mode cannot restore error 3004

    Hello,
    My iPod Touch 5th gen is stuck on recovery mode for two days now. I have lost all of my important files, but I am hoping to make it work again.
    I was updating to ios 8 the other day and suddenly my iPod turned off and was stuck on recovery mode. No big deal, but then, as I was to restore it, iTunes only says that "The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3004)."
    I'm here now because I have tried all of the fixes. I have tried to put it on DFU mode (didn't work), changed my DNS settings, updated my iTunes, uninstalling, reinstalling it, turned my PC on and off, used another PC, but nothing has worked. I used some external programs that can get my iDevice to get in and out of DFU mode, but it has not worked.
    I am on PC, Windows 8.
    Hope anyone can help.

  • TS1286 ipod stuck in recovery mode/usb error

    My ipod touch 3rd gen is stuck in recovery mode but when i try to recover using itunes i get error message the Ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • HT201412 ipod stuck in recovery mode

    my ipod 1st gen is stuck in recovery mode, when I plug into iTunes it tells me to restore ipod. when this is done it comes up with error code 1. please help. I have tried disabling pc security.

    Greetings billewen690,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that after restoring your iPod, you are seeing error 1. In this situation there may be a couple of further steps I would recommend to go along with disabling the security on your Windows computer. If you have completed all of these steps and continue to receive the error, it may be necessary to follow the link and contact Apple support.
