Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...

After you have Recovered your Device...

Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...
