Q: Windows want to format iPod, iTunes want to restore it, nothing works...

Hi there,

 

I bought an iPod nano 7th gen,

 

I had iTunes installed already on my pc (surface pro 4 running windows 10).

 

So I charged the iPod with a phone charger, then I connected it to my computer, and two things prompted, first 2 messages from Windows explorer saying that the iPod needs to be formatted, then iTunes says that the iPod is corrupt and it needs to be restored.

 

So I ignore the windows messages and I restored the iPod on iTunes (it downloaded the latest version of it's software), but every time the restore is finish and iTunes is waiting for the iPod to restart, it goes back to the beginning, Windows saying that it needs formatting and iTunes says the device is corrupted.

 

I've trying from everything, formatting the iPod, uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling iTunes, removing the disk letter on disk manager (well the iPod is shown as RAW).

 

Don't know what to do anymore.

 

Anyone?
