iTunes keeps telling me to restore iPod over and over again....

Hello, I'm hoping someone has the solution to the problem I'm having with my iPod. I'm not sure how or at what point I lost all my music from my iPod, but i recently noticed that my iPod only displayed a message that says.."Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore"...which I did. According to the Troubleshooting Assistant on Apple's website, after the restoring is done, the iTunes Sync Wizard should appear to reinstall my music. However, it never appears, it just keeps asking me to restore my iPod over and over and over again. I can't seem to get it past that point. If someone knows how to resolve this, I will be forever greatful!

Dell, Windows XP

Except that is not the same problem at all. Do NOT Threadjack. Start your own topic please. Help you get in your topic may help others when searching for like topics (your post could be lost in a unrelated topic).

Note that in the Classic discussion there are three sub-topics you can choose and NO post link yet. Now pick any sub-topic, for example, pick "Using iPod Classic" and you will get the following...

Now you have a link to post a new topic.
