my touch keeps showing the apple logo and that's it o_O

alright..

so i tried doing "dfu" twice.
and when i hold both buttons at the same time for a few seconds, the ipod actually just turns off.
so i turn it back on.. wait to see if it'll work.. but nope :[

the ipod tries to load (evidinced by the apple logo loading screen).. but just restarts by itself again and shows the apple loading screen
so.. the computer DOES detect the ipod.. but loses the connection when the ipod restarts by itself

If you guys are on 2.0, I posted a fix for this on MacThemes. I'll copy-paste it here though:

Alright, I finished up the script. It should work perfectly. There are a few minor things that I'd like help figuring out, though.

First of all, I can't figure out how to make all of the apps load without installing something from the AppStore (appLoad only loads about half of them).

Secondly, this will put all of your icons out of order. This is an issue I've been trying to solve for a long time. If anyone knows of a plist containing third-party app icon order, PLEASE let me know.

But, this will get you out of a boot freeze, and will only take about 20 seconds to run the script over SSH. Unfortunately you will have to reinstall an AppStore app (which is free, by the way), and you'll have to reorder all your icons. But for me, that's a fair enough tradeoff (as opposed to restoring).

NO APP DATA WILL BE LOST IF YOU REINSTALL AN APP FROM THE APPSTORE BEFORE SYNCING TO iTUNES. So, don't sync until all of your apps are back. I can't stress this enough.

But anyway, here it is. Download and unzip the .sh file, then SSH it into any directory on your iPhone/iPod touch. I generally put it in the root directory (just /).

http://freemacappaday.com/uploads/script.sh.zip

To run this, you do these commands (assuming you put script.sh in your / directory):

cd /
./script.sh

If you get permission denied, run these:

chmod 777 script.sh
./script.sh

Once you've run the chmod command, you won't need to ever again.

Hopefully this will help some people out. I have this problem a LOT, since I install a lot of things from Cydia, and have tons of AppStore apps. Thanks for your interest!

This may or may not be the issue, but if it is, you can get out of it. Hope this helps!
