nothing, when i plug it in it shows the usb end of the cable and an arrow pointing towards the i-tunes logo. I open I tunes and it tells me I need to recover and update. I followed the instructions and downloaded the update and it just sat there, said nothing about installing. I tried again and then the time became 95 mins and it still didn't change.

- Try disabling the computer's firewall and antivirus.

- Try the manual install method described in:

iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch


Also maybe

Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)

Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .


Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.

Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
