my ipod touch 5th generation will not restore

My ipod touch 5th generation says I have to connect to itunes. When I do, itunes says it has detected an error and I need to restore. After I restore, it gives me the same message. I can't do anything it just shows the usb port plug and the itunes symbol on my screen.

First, what is the wording of the error message?


Maybe:

Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)

Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .


Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Last, try restoring on another computer.
