I searched the iPod Touch forum for "iphone in recovery mode" and it appears there are two possible solutions:
- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore it>

- Use this program to get it out of recovery mode:

My iPod Touch Turns Off When I Try To Restore It

Ever since I updated my iPod Touch to 8.0/8.0.2 I've been experiencing issues. Every other day or so my iPod would freeze up and the pixels would "burn" out and my device would turn off. Last night when it did it all of my music disappeared from my device and syncing it fixed it. When I got up this morning I listened to my music and it burnt out again, but this time now whenever i try to turn on my iPod it gets to the apple logo and it keeps doing it. It also kept turning on by itself when it happened. Now whenever it turns on it goes straight to recovery mode with the iTunes logo and whenever i try to restore it i get error 4013 every time and it burns out when it gets to the apple logo with the spinner underneath. I've done everything from letting the battery drain to putting it in dfu mode and manually selecting the ispw file. So, what's wrong?

It may be a hardware problem.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Mt iPad will not allow me to update my apps. My username and password are correct and I can buy apps with no problem but when I try and update it just says "cannot open iTunes"

My iPad will not allow me to update apps although I have no problem buying new ones. It says "cannot connect to iTunes" each time I try.

Same problem for me, too. It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac. Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account. I've downloaded three new apps with no problem. But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1. In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost.

I get an automatic update to install and when I try and istall it it says download error

When I turn the computer on I get an update installation notice from Firefox.
When I click on install I get an error message saying download error

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
You can try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a more modest setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

HT1229 Ive move photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto. When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found. I have thousands. How do I get rid of these images?

Hi Ive moved photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto. When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found. I have thousands. How do I get rid of these images?
Also I have many duplicate photos (from backups) It would be great to be able to remove all duplicates at one time, like in Itunes.
Can this be done?

You moved what photos from where and to where?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

HT201210 keeps saying "ipod update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable" when i try and restore my ipod touch..any ideas?

keeps saying "ipod update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable" when i try and restore my ipod touch..any ideas?

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

I did a factory reset on my ipod touch, but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with the loading sign

i did a factory reset on my ipod touch but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with a loading sign, ive let my battery die and tried reconnecting but it still wont work. it doesnt even come up on itunes.

Why won't it let you sync? What happens when you try to sync it? Any error messages from iTunes? How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options do you have selected from under the iPod's Music tab in iTunes? To access this tab, plug your iPod in, select it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes, and over to the right locate and select the Music tab along the top.
Or are you trying to manually manage your iPod's contents? In other words, is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?

That error sometimes indicates a hardware problem. See 2nd link below.

My ipad mini is disabled, when i try and restore it with itunes it says the ipad needs to respond, i can't respond because i can't unlock it?! Help?

My ipad mini is disabled and says try again in 24,434,453 minutes?! When i try and restore it, itunes says my ipad needs to respond. i can't unlock it to respond because it's disabled?

If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album. These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer. If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar. Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.

I've been given under warranty what us supposed to be a new iPhone 5. When I try and restore it from my iCloud it keeps asking me to sign in with two other Apple ID's that are not know to me. Why is this?

Adding to KC7GNM's remark (with which I agree), the iPhone 5 you received is very likely refurbished. It is not brand new out-of-the-box, never before used.

iTunes keeps saying its the latest version. Ive downloaded a 4.3.5.ipsw but when I try and restore from this iTunes says the firmware isn't compatible...any idea's what to do next?

The iPod 3g will only support iOS up to 4.2.1 and nothing beyond that.

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.
