HELP ipod touch stuck in recovery mode!

Put it in DFU mode and then try.

 

DFU mode stands for DeviceFirmwareUpgrade.

1. Turn off your iPod.
2. Connect your iPod to the computer.
3. Hold the power and home button, when the Apple logo pops up stop holding the power button but still hold the home button.
4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that its in restore mode.

 

Yeah so....Ipod touch is ...shot?

I got like a little bit of water on the back of my touch, didn't even get submurged. Then, the touch screen stopped working, I could not unlock it what so ever. I then tried to reset it, and now, after it turned off, it will not turn back on. I plugged it in, tried hold both power and home keys, and it will not register it, or update it. It says "iPhone is in recovery..." and when I try to restore it, it will not restore. What the hell am I supposed to do now?

 

Exact same thing happened to me with a first gen touch, just got a splash of water on it, and it killed the screen. Fortunately, that touch was still under warranty so I could get it replaced. If yours is still under warranty, call apple and tell them your screen stopped working. If not, tell them your touch got wet and ask how much it costs to get a replacement under their out of warranty replacement program, but I doubt the cost is worth it, esp. considering new touch models are due in sept/oct.

Also, for future reference, if an electronic equipment gets wet, you shouldn't turn it on or plug it in, just wait until it's completely dry before you do anything with it. I know now that might have saved my touch's screen, but I didn't know that then, so I turned it on immediately after it got wet, which fried my screen.

 

I guess all you can do is trade it in for a refurb.

If your iPod shows the connect to iTunes screen, hold your power and home buttons until the iPod shuts off, then let go as soon as the screen is back. If it doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on normally.

Should it go to the iTunes screen again, go to your nearest Apple store.

 

Sorry i have no idea, you could make an appointment with an Apple Genius.
