"Itunes has detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore..........

When I try to sync a screen pops up saying ""Itunes has detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this Ipod before it can be used in Itunes". This has never happened before, and I have restored several times and it just keeps popping up.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore

Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.
