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?

  • My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but that hasn't helped. I tried clicking restore on the computer but an error message keeps coming up. HELP! PLEASE!

    Like, every time I hit recover, it tries to contact the server or whatever and then it can't find it. The screen is stuck with the iTunes and the USB cable thing on it. Somebody please help me! Do you think if I take this to Radio Shack where my mom bought it for me my warrenty would help either get a new iPod or they could fix this for me? If anybody knows how to fix it, pleaseeeeee, pleeeeease help me out.

    Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it out of recovery mode.
    Try doing a manual install following the instructions in the link below.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
    - 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.

    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.

  • My ipod touch 2nd generation is stuck at recovery mode when I tried to update from a 3 software to a 4 software. I tried puting it in DFU mode to fix it but a window pops up about  the computer found new hardware and needs a cdrom. What do I do?

    My Ipod is stuck at restore mode, when I downloaded fixrecovery and zlib1, they gave me a file which I can't open iBSS.n72ap. Fixrecovery wanted me to put it in DFU mode and I did but a window from my computer pops up telling me that it found new hardware and wants a CDrom to install. The ipod did not come with a CDrom software. It wont go back, and iTunes does not recongnize it. What should I do?

  • IPod touch 4th generation is stuck in headphone mode.

    I already tried updating it, turning it off and on, restarting it, plugging and unplugging my headphones, and spraying it with canned air.
    I really don't know what else could be wrong with it.
    Help?

    If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem you likely have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Can you use headphones?  Some users have broken off the end of headphone plugs in the iPod.

  • My Ipod Touch 4th generation is stuck in the apple logo

    Hello,
    I have an Ipod Touch (4th gen) but it doesn't get past the apple logo and if it does the screen becomes white but it doesn't do anything else. I tried to restore it through ITunes but that doesn't work either (always get an error). It's been like this for a while since everything I've tried so far doesn't work at all.
    Thank you in advance ^^

    Any error messages or numbers given by iTunes?
    If yes, check this article: Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    Also try to connect in recovery mode to restore, explained here: If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    If this does not work, your device has to be checked by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • My ipod touch second gen is stuck in recovery mode.... :(

    i jail broke my ipod touch so i could use the av wire in it and i noticed that it made my ipod slower. so i went to take it off and while it was restoring it stopped when i was almost done and said"itunes could not restore" so now everytime i try and restore i wont do it and my ipod is stuck in recovery mode telling me to plug it in to itunes

    Ok, now I don't know what 'jail breaking to use the av wire in it' is at all but a few days after my iTouch 4 obtained 2 diagonal cracks in the glass after dropping it on my bathrooms marble floor. I can only guess it hit right on the corner. Now before I had a chance to get it fixed something happened while playing a game and screen blanked out. To make an already too long a story a bit shorter ... It ended up having to restore it. While restoring mine too is stuck in Restore mode, never quite making it all the way to the end before whiting Out screen then once again being told to connect to iTunes. Help anyone???
