Waiting For Ipod Issue

ok i have a 2g ipod touch and i cant restore it i get stuck at waiting for ipod and on the touch screen it shows apple llogo with a loading bar but it doesnt go up
ive tried
using itunes all version
deleting all da itunes app data files
different firmware, pc's, and ports, nd cables
i calld apple and they saud bring it into the store and i get another one free but i have no apple store around me
please help

Has anyone figured out this yet? We are having the same issues with our iPod touch. Tried to restore it. Did the whole button pushing thing. Plugged it in. It loads all of the status bar and just sits there. There is a window on the computer that just says, "waiting for iPod..." forever. If I stop it or unplug it, it shows the USB and itunes icon on the screen. So I plug it into iTunes again, reload the software, the status bar says that all of the files are loaded, and it gets stuck on the "waiting for iPod...". I live in japan, so I can't just take it to the nearest iPod store. Any help will be helpful. thanks

HT1339 "waiting for ipod" when restoring

Hello,
My ipod touch 4th gen shut off yesterday and would not open. I have attached it with two different cables to my computer. It says that it needs to restore, offers me the button to do this task, extracts software, contacts itunes, then stays on the page "Ipod recovery mode" with "waiting for ipod" forever. I am living abroad and cannot get to a genius bar. PLEASE HELP.. I puchased this Ipod in January 2013. So it is pretty much brand new.
Thanks
SN

error 21:
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.
error 1600:
this error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
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.

Cannot restore iPod Touch 5g: iTunes "Waiting for iPod"

SIDE NOTE: For a TL:DR, I've made all the important stuff bold.
I've been having this issue with my iPod Touch 5G where I cannot restore it no matter what I do.
This article, This article, This article, nor This article helped me.
When my iPod is not connected to the computer, it literally does nothing at all, no matter what you do. When you plug it into the computer, the computer recognizes it as an iPod, but it says "Serial Number: n/a", and will not display any info. I can tell my iPod detects button presses because I can connect it and disconnect it just by holding in the Power and Home buttons. After plugging it in, the bar at the top of iTunes says "Extracting software", then after that bar fills up it goes to "Waiting for iPod". It then says "Preparing iPod for restore", and then fluctuates between the last two, once or twice. After that, iTunes gets stuck on "Waiting for iPod", and stays there. The iPod, however, displays an apple logo with an empty progress bar beneath it. I took it to an Apple Store not too long ago, and they couldn't fix it. The employee there couldn't do anything more than what I've done. He said that my only option is to get a new one. I still haven't lost hope, though, because there has been two other cases where I've fixed devices where something like this has happened. It's just not working now.
Anyways, please help!
Sincerely, Alex.

- Try another cable
- Try another USB port
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Try on another computer
- Not clear you tried DFU mode and then restore

IPod touch 4th gen won't restore or power on after dropping it on its back "waiting for ipod"

My iPod touch 4th gen was recently dropped on its back after playing with its case. It turned white, then powered off.
After that i tried restoring and now everytime itunes stays on the "waiting for ipod" step.
I know that all functions work because I successfully entered dfu mode many times, and the lcd powers on but the progress bar doesn't move while itunes says waiting for ipod.
Thanks for looking at my thread and sorry if i misposted (first time apple forum user)

Something has been jarred inside. Anecdotally, people have reported success smacking their device again, to maybe rejarr things back into working order. But doing that is your call since it could be defined as abuse.
If it's physically damaged inside, there may not be much of a user fix for you to try unfortunately.

[Restore] "Waiting for iPod to become Ready"? [ver 1.2 iTunes 7.0]

I just updated my iTunes from version 6.0.5 to 7.0. This install also updated my iPod. My iPod is no longer read by my computer or any other. ***? Now when I attmept to connect it to any Mac it freezes up and fails to mount. Come on apple. Also, why the is there no longer an iPod preference section in the new iTunes. I keep trying to Restore the firmware, but I keep getting the "Waiting for iPod to become ready" message.
Attempted solutions:
• Re-installing iTunes 7.0 (no luck)
• Resetting the iPod (no luck)
• Forcing the iPod into disk mode (no luck)
• Re-installing iPod software (iPod won't mount...so that didn't work)
HELP!!!

I had the same problem and was able to fix it by following the directions on resetting the iPod, renaming the iPod and also ensuring that I removed any files that might not be understood by the iPod from the 'notes' folder on the iPod (if you have enabled disk access):
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3111498#3111498
PS: If you need to get out of the 'Do not disconnect' screen so that you can apply these changes you need to hold down the 'menu' and 'select' or center button until you see the Apple logo. When the iPod mount you can proceed to reset the iPod to original settings which will erase everything from the iPod but not your iTunes library on your computer

HT201263 I am trying to recover ipod touch 4th gen and it says waiting for ipod for over 30 minutes

I have attempted to recover and restore my ipod 4th gen and I keep getting a message waiting for ipod and nothing happens

So I had the same problem but in my case, they gave me a new one for free. If they will not give you a new free one, go here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/#us
Prices defend on how much gb's of storage your iPod touch has got:
iPod touch 8 GB (4th gen.)                                $99
iPod touch 32 GB (4th gen.)                                $149
iPod touch 64 GB (4th gen.)                                $199
That's a lot when you compare it to the original price, that's also why you should never drop your iPod (what is impossible) and of course buy a case to protect it!

Waiting For Ipod Restore Function error occurred 9

I try to restore my ipod touch I see the screen with the music icon disc and usb cable.
It starts to restore but says waiting for ipod.
I can see the Apple logo and a continuous circle at the bottom rotating clockwise.
It just stays like that even after several hours.
I even tried loading the cable that comes with the ipod classic.
When I disconnect the usb cable it says:
The IPOD "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9)

Try forcing your iPod into Recovery Mode prior to restoring:
Disconnect the iPod from your computer. Hold the Sleep/Wake button (on top) until you see a red slider that says "Slide to Power Off." Drag the slider across the screen to allow the device to power off. Then, press and hold the Home button on the front of the iPod WHILE you are connecting it to your computer... so, hold down Home, connect the USB cable, and then release Home when you see the Apple logo appear. iTunes should state that it has detected an iPod or iPhone in recovery mode, and prompt you to restore it.
See if that allows you to restore

Restoring stuck on 'waiting for ipod' SOMEONE PLEAAASE HELP:( lol

my ipod wont finish its restoring it locks up on 'waiting for ipod' x

Nobody from Apple here. Just users like you. Perhaps the question is very short on details for anyone to recognize the problem. What is showing on your iPod screen? If nothing, try to turn it on. What is showing then?

Ipod touch restore waiting for ipod

I want to restore my touch to the factory settings. It will no longer do anything.
If I connect to iTunes, it recognizes it and says it is in the process of recovery.
When I continue, It begins extracting files and then goes into "waiting for ipod" mode where it remains without proceeding - even after leaving it for a day.
Anyone now how I can proceed to get things to progress.
Thanks for any help you can provide

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
