Weird screen please help really desperate

I recently plugged my i pod touch in and wen i got back it had this weird screen that i cannot change and therefore cant do all that this amazing device offers... this screen is the white usb portion of the charger cable that u plug into the computer goin up and then the itunes symbol thank you for your effort!!!

Actually the screen you are seeing is telling you that you must connect to iTunes to restore your touch. Since you are getting and error when you try to connect, you need to look at your computer and see if it is running Apple Mobile Device Services (this handles the communication between the iPod and iTunes). Follow the steps in this tech article to make sure that your computer is working correctly before you plug your iPod back in: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

  • My ipod touch 4g turned off and wont turn on again because it is frozen on the apple screen. please help!

    My ipod touch 4g turned off and when i try to turn it on it says its not charged. so i charge it and the apple screen comes up but stays frozen like that for a really long time, and then it just goes back to the "needs to be charged" screen. please help!

    - First try resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Next connect to a computer and restore the iPod if theiPod appears in iTunes.
    - Next see if placing he iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Choppy video on big screens  PLEASE HELP!

    I've noticed that the videos that I have exported from CS3 are very smooth when played on a computer screen and average size tv screen, but are very choppy if played on a large TV or projected on the wall.  Is there a way to remedy this?  Please help!
    Drew.

    I think I figured out the issue.  Thanks for all your advice.  I'll repost if I have any other problems.

    Subject: Choppy video on big screens  PLEASE HELP!
    Drew,
    How is the large-screen projector connected, via a set-top DVD player to it, or by a computer connected to it? If it's via a set-top player, is it the same one used for the small-screen TV, or a different one? What is the make and model of the set-top player(s)?
    Also, what DVD media was used, and what was the burn speed used to create the DVD? Was this authored in Encore, or with some other authoring application?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    - 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.

I even tried stopping and restarting windows installer in "computer management; services, services". Still no luck..... This is the first time that ive struggled downloading Itunes. The reason im trying to download itunes is because im attempting to restore my iphone 4.....

  • I brought an iphone 4 factory unlock and it is linked with an icloud id of previous owner, i dont even know id of icloud , 1 week ago i restore my iphone 4 n got stuck in activation screen, please help me out please?

    i brought an iphone 4 factory unlock and it is linked with an icloud id of previous owner, i dont even know id of icloud , 1 week ago i restore my iphone 4 n got stuck in activation screen, please help me out please?

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • Lenovo K1 rebooting at lenovo screen - Please HELP!!

    After OTA update, K1 does not go beyond lenovo screen, keeps rebooting.
    Assuming some files might have been corrupted, tried the "rooting method" . I have tried different method of rooting - eg. windoze, k1-v2 etc. All of them shows it goes thru formatting, then uploading some files, no errors. Then it reboots. And same thing happens, it keeps rebooting after at the lenovo screen.
    Can some one please help trouble shooting this K1. What am I doing wrong? What else can be tried?
    Really appreciate any help and suggestiom.
    Thanks in advance.

    I used my new K1 for couple of weeks which I bought in December 2011. After last update it worked for a day or two and then suddenly it went to the loop of restarting at Lenovo/Nividia logos. Not moving any further.
    I bought my unit from US but unfortunately its in another place now, so I contacted local Lenovo Support. Its almost getting 3 weeks and they didnt open a trouble ticket yet. Such a hopeless product and service.

    I'm actually having this same problem with a macbook air running windows 8 CP.  Exact same issue.  I can't try your solution because I have no USB devices plugged in.  Can you suggest anything else?
    Thanks!
    You are not having the same problem, the OP's problem was caused by USB devices which you do not have.
    I suggest you start your own thread (as this is marked solved not many will look at it)

  • My ipad2 won't let me install apps , when I trie to install an app it says waiting but there is no loading circle on the top of my screen , please help ! ?

    I tried to install the new update for minecraft pocket edition then all of a sudden it won't load ! It said "waiting" for almost an hour ! Nothing will load :( , then I tried to delete the app and re- install it , still the same problem :( . I turned my iPad off and on then restarted it still no hope ! . I thought it was just the app so I tried installing another 1 but it had the same problem . I was going to reboot it but that would mean loosing my stuff so I tried to back it up using iCloud but when I tapped "back up now " it won't load either !! Please help , I'll appreciate it loads thanks you !!

    Rebooting will not make you lose any content. Rebooting is when you hold the home button and the sleep button down at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    You can these suggestions. One might work for you.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

  • I accidently downloaded a virus on my iphone which means i cannot open my safari because it just crashes and goes to a blank screen. please help

    i accidently downloaded something as i opened a site. it now means i cannot use safari because everytime i try to open it, it just goes to a blank black page and wont let me do anything. what can i do? please help! my iphone is either a 3G or 3GS?

    You cannot get a virus on an iPhone unless it is jailbroken. The site you displayed may be corrupt, however. Press the HOME button if not on the HOME screen, then press it again. Hold your finger on the Safari app that appears in the recently used ribbon, then tap the "-" to close it. Next go to Settings/Safari and tap Clear History, then Clear Cookies and Data.
