Hello olgahdb,
It sounds as though iTunes is prompting that the iPod touch needs to be restored. If so, the steps listed below walk through placing your iPod touch in to recovery mode, and updating or restoring your device. These are the specific steps to follow to resolve this issue and can also be found in the following article.
4.Locate your device on your computer. When you see the option to Restore or Update, choose Update. Your computer will try to reinstall the software without erasing your data. Wait while your computer downloads the software for your device. If the download takes more than 15 minutes and your device exits the recovery mode screen, let the download finish, then repeat step 3.
5.After the Update or Restore completes, set up your device."
