Q: After "Erase all Content and Settings", my iPod Touch 2nd generation won't boot... I only see the Apple Logo. I need help to get this device to work again.

My 8Gb 2nd generation iPod was working fine. I decided to sell it. So I press the "erase all content and settings" button to clear all my personal settings and information in an attempt to reset it to original condition.

 

Since I press "erase all content and settings" my iPod won't boot pass the Apple logo.

 

I tried to get it going by holding down the "power" button on the top and the "home" button simultaneously to recycle the iPod without success.

 

I need help to get it running again.

 

Thanks

iPod touch, iPod 2nd Generation 8GB

    My ipod touch has done this many times!!!!


    THE SOLUTION


    1: PLUG YOUR IPOD INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!!



    2: HOLD THE "HOLD" AND THE "MENU" BUTTON UNTIL THE TOUCH'S SCREEN GOES BLACK AND SHOWS THE APPLE LOGO AGAIN THEN RELEASE THE BUTTONS!!!



    3: WAIT ABOUT 5-15 MINUTES!!!



    4: YOUR COMPUTER WILL MAKE A "CHIME" SOUND AND THEN THE IPOD WILL SHOW THE LOCKED SCREEN WITH THE BATTERY LOGO...


    This works every time for me when my ipod crashes, the screen is stuck on the apple logo or if the screen goes white...

    Try:                           

    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

    - Try another cable

    - Try on another computer                            

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