Connect your iPod to your computer. In iTunes click on the name of your iPod under the Devices column (the frame to the far left), then go to the Summary Tab to your right and click Restore.

I also get this same message and have updated the software...my problem is that my ipod doesn't show up in Itunes or in my computer under the devices so I can't actually restore it. How do I go about fixing this?

oh and my ipod is a first generation I dunno why it says 3rd generation because I swear I posted it under the 1st generation one
