Why does my ipod touch go into recovery mode?

I recently got my new ipod touch. I had problems with my old one after I couldnt get that one out of recovery mode.
I tried to update my new ipod today and its been put into recovery mode. I've tried to restore it twice and its done nothing. I just need to get it out of recovery mod, can anyone help?

The only way I know of is to force it into DFU mode, out of recovery mode. Hold down power for 10 seconds, then the power and home until the screen flashes white, then hold the home button for four or five seconds. Proceed to restore.

  • Why did my iPod touch go into recovery mode when updating to iOS 8.1 over the air???

    I was updating my iPod touch (5th Generation) to iOS 8.1 over the air update option and my iPod goes into recovery mode...I hadn't backed it up in like 2 weeks and a lot happened in two weeks with photos and everything. I have yet to see if I get any of them back but why did this happen? I thought apples over the air update was reasonably easy and secure...?

    Hey Haywards, There has been reported issues with updating iPods to iOS 8, one of which is updating with the cloud or through Wi-Fi. Your seeing one of the problems. After you get things cleared up with the DFU recovery, connect your iPod with your computer via the cable and run the update through iTunes. You should be OK. Or if still an option, don't do the update at all! Many have reported several issues with iOS 8 on iPods. Slow or laggy operation, missing apps, missing music, camera roll not working or missing and huge battery drain and charging issues, just to mention a few. You may want to hold off from updating if possible. Things to think about. Good luck, Cheers.

  • HT201263 iPod touch gone into recovery mode midway through updating to iOS 6.1 - Help!!!

    I tried to update my iPod touch (latest generation) to the new iOS system. Midway through the 30 minute download of the new software, an alert popped up telling me that the ipod connected was in recovery mode and needed to be restored in order to contiue. So I clicked restore, and the download started again. Once again, the same thing happened midway through. The download continues, and at the end of it it just disappears and my iPod stays on the connect to itunes screen (the one with the usb lead and itunes symbol). I've tried everything on the apple support pages but have had no luck at all. I've only had the iPod for a month now and have had no problems with it up til now. I know there's often problems caused by updating, but after spending hours searcing online for a solution I've yet to find anyone with the same problem, and therefore no solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Maybe if you try restoring to a previous version first, and then restore from backup.
    This may help you find out how to roll back to the previous version:

  • My ipod touch went into Recovery Mode, How do i fix it without recovering(deleting)?

         Earlier this week, i was on my laptop when i decided to look at my ipod touch with was next to me, about 10 mintues later. I tried turning on, and the ipod was stuck on the connect to itunes screen, and i was wondering why it was doing that. I plugged it into my computer and it said " Itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes". Restoring was going to delete everything! I already lost my infomation last year to a similar problem. I tried holding the power and menu button for 10-15 sec and then just hold menu 2 secs, it didnt work. I know most people are going to say use a backup, but i havdn't been albe to back up for about 70 weeks. I know i can get back music, but i have a bunch of apps that have memory and pictures and songs, that i'll never get back,like last time. I don't want to lose important docunments again either! Please Help!!  ps. I dont remeber my oss or what version it is(like itouch 3 or 4s)

    If this program will not get the iPod out of recovery mode you will have to restore the iPod and thus lose everything.

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does my ipod touch 4gen keeps going back to home page when browsing on the apps store

    Why does my Ipod touch 4 generation keeps going back to home page when browsing in the apps store.
    I called apple 5 times today and asked me to restore it 3x the problem still exists. This problem starts to occur yesterday after upgrading to IOS6.
    Apple customer service is not good enough as they cannot fixed the problem or tell me that I can change the unit as I just bought this 2 months ago.

    Because there is a bug in iOS 6 that effects the 4G iPod touch.

  • HT1975 why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location?

    why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location? i thought it was because updating foursquare. i have erased and restored its settings, but i was able to use my foursquare before even after the restoration, but now it's not working even my location services is on. Though, it can detect location in other areas, but it cant detect my location at home when before it used to check-in using foursquare.

    No, the iPhone can determine location by GPS and cell tower locations neither of which the iPod can do.  So the fact that it works on the iPhoe does not tell you anything.  It could be that your router is not in Apple's database.  In that case you will just have to wait until they add it.  Try using a public wi-fi source to see if location works there.
