Why does my iPod tell me to connect to iTunes, even though I already did?

I just updated my iPod. It asked me to choose how I want to set up my iPod touch. I chose "Restore from iTunes Backup". Then it told me to connect to iTunes. So I connected it and it synced. But the iPod won't do anything. It still says connect to iTunes. How do I fix it and start using my iPod again?

Maybe here:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

  • Why does my ipad tell me to connect to itunes?

    My Ipad was working fine yesterday, but today, it won't actually turn on.  The screen shows the Itunes symbol, and arrow with a usb port as if it is telling me to sign into Itunes.  What is the deal???  How do I correct it enabling me to actually use my Ipad?

    You need to connect to iTune (computer) to Restore/Recover your iPad.
    Note: Data will be lost if you have not backed up the iPad.

  • HT1386 Why does my iPod not registered as connected to iTunes all of the sudden?

    So I got a new iPod touch (4th generation) for Christmas this year, and have had no trouble thus far syncing my music and other things to it, but recently, when I plug my device into my computer, iTunes does not register that it is plugged in, but my computer does....I have run out of option, and have even restored my iPod completely, hoping that would help, but nothing has worked and now I have lost everything on my iPod alltogether. I have grown frustrated and need assistance with this as soon as possible.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • Why does my ipod have on the screen the itunes symbol and the cord and an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol?  I can't get it to do anything.

    Why does my ipod have on its screen the itunes symbol and the cord with an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol.  I can't do anything with my ipod now!

    Plug it into iTunes. If that does not work hold the power and home button untill the screen turns off then let go of the power button but KEEP holding the home button... this should bypass the connect to iTunes screen. Hope it helps.

    Check to make sure you don't have your restrictions turned on, which may be preventing your access to iTunes.
    Tap on the settings icon, then tap General, then check to see if you have restrictions turned to ON.  If so turn it off.

  • Why does iMovie stop importing my tape from the camcorder even though it says it is still importing?

    Why does iMovie stop importing my tape from the camcorder even though it says it is still importing?

    It's difficult to be sure without doing some network packet sniffing, but if it were another app syncing, it would be an awful coincidence, since it seems to happen only while I'm in Reminders.app -- as soon as I click the home button and go back to the home screen, it stops; when I launch Reminders again, it starts again.
    Moreover, it happens when I am not in the house, which rules out iTunes syncing.
    Note that it's not the syncing spinner (i.e. two arrows chasing each other in a circle) -- it's the data access spinner (like the wait spinner in many apps and the apple.com search box).

  • My phone will no connection to iTunes even though I put in my password I need help

    My phone will no connection to iTunes even though I put in my password I need help

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
    Do not change your settings.

  • My ipod tells me to connect to itunes but I can't, because Itunes says to enter my password but the connenct to itunes won't go away on ipod

    My Ipod wasn't working for awhile, but now I got it on again. I have it plugged in my computer and Itunes is telling me that I have too put my password in so they can connect to my Ipod, but my Ipod won't come off the screen telling me too connect to Itunes. I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. Please help me.

    This means you will need to put the device into a Forced Recovery Mode in order to restore the device. You can do this by connecting the device to your computer, holding the Home & Power buttons together until the device restarts with an Apple Logo, once you see this logo pop up remove your finger from the Power Button continuing to hold down the Home Button. You should then see a prompt within iTunes stating that it has detected a Device in Recovery Mode. Proceed through the restore prompts and it should be ok to use again.

  • Why does my 4S send text messages instead of imessages, even though it has sent that person imessages in the past?

    Why does my 4S suddenly switch to text messages when it has been sending to the same person as imessages?  I am connected to wifi and have no cell service where I am, so the text errors out.  Can I force it to send as an imessage?

    It's on.  We were sending imessages earlier today, then for some reason, my phone switched to text???

  • Why does my ipod tell me it will delete everything if I want to sync movies?

    I want to put a movie from my computer onto my ipod, so I tried to manually drag and sync and it just tells me that iTunes has stopped workikng. So then I went to Summary and Movies tab and pushed sync and it says to sync it will delete all of my music, photos, etc. Why?? Is there a way to sync the move without deleting everything?

    If the movie is purchased and on your computer then you can just use home-sharing (accessed via the computers icon)
    If you select the Movies icon it will be streaming from the cloud and need to load a portion before it can start.
    As for streaming, the speed seems fine but you should also check for interference (using istumbler or netstumbler) and make sure you are using your ISPs DNS (settings - network - configure DNS - should be set to automatic).
    Sometimes ISPs throttle the connection at certain times or when a certain limit is reached.

  • Why does my ipod keep disconnecting and connecting every half a second?

    I had my iPod touch (4th gen, ios6) synced to a desktop and when I tried connecting it to my new laptop to sync it keeps connecting then disconnecting every half a second (flashing on and off) and will not connect at all. Do I need to do something with my old computer? I don't think it's something wrong with the cord because it connects to the wall just fine.

    Different conductors/contacts are used for charging and dats. Thus, it still could be a bad cable.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another USB port and cable

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Try on another computer to help determine if iPod or computer problem
    - If it works with other computer that indicates a problem with your computer. Try
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem with all compouters, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
