iPod touch stuck in restore loop with error 2006

Hello all


I have an iPod touch which appears to be in a doom loop.


I connect to iMac, recognises it, then offers to either restore or update, tries & errors out with 2006 cannot restore/update?


I'm of a certain age....have used computers since 1986 so am pretty au fait.


Is there a specific 2006 error workaround...or is it file 13?


Thanks
