iPod Touch stuck in recovery mode

The same thing has happened to me AND a number of other people.
Ive tried lots of different things but no success yet =[
Some people have been saying if you connect your iPod to a different computer and restore and update it on there than that solves the problem?

have the I pod Touch 3rd generation and it is stuck in the connecting to i tunes mode. Its been there for the last 22 hours. Can some one help me to get past this point.

Alright everyone this is going to sound pretty pathetic, but the same thing happened to me in the same situation. i tried the update and got stuck. So i made an appointment at my local apple store for the genius bar. All they had me do was plug my ipod touch into one of the laptops they have, and as soon as it was plugged in, itunes picked it up, and said it should be restored. So obviously i let it do it's thing. It was fixed, and it had the update. So i get back home, plug it in, and it instantly starts retrieving my backuped music and aps. So when that was finished my ipod was back to how it was, except with the update.
-Hope that helped. 😀

Yes I have that problem too. I believe the problem is with the computer. Something with the USB connection. Notice that everyone who have had this problem have PCs and not Macs.

I connected my iPod to another computer and it restored it and updated it. Then plugged it back into my computer and it restored all my music and apps, and for the moment (hopefully lasting) seems to work fine.

The Reason is that it has to be a USB 2.0 to work , for some reason they made it need a updated usb. I wish they would have said that before i tried to update it.

Good Luck:-)

Strange, my USB port is 2.0 and the driver is up-to-date, but I had this problem.
I tried restoring on another computer but unluckily that computer has its own problem, can't connect to itunes store...

I'll try to use the Macs at uni tomorrow.
