Q: iPod nano 5g bootloop - use iTunes to restore
Hi,
Message "use iTunes to restore" has shown up in My iPod nano 5g. When I try to restore it with iTunes it becomes a infinite bootloop when it is connected. I can´t restore it.
Disk mode does´t work. Always reset.
any ideas? thanks.

The most likely cause is a hardware problem related to the iPod's storage. iTunes sees it as data corruption, so directs you to do a Restore. Since the Restore cannot fix a hardware problem, iTunes sees it as data corruption again and direct you to do a Restore.
If you just let the iPod start up (after a Reset), does it get to its normal screen menus?
Do you use a Mac or Windows PC to run iTunes? If Windows, what version?
