My iPod touch isn't restoring?

I found my old iPod touch whilst cleaning my room recently, and I plugged it into a charger. It showed the iTunes logo and a usb cord, indicating that I need to connect it to my iTunes. So I did. And it said the iPod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored, but when I hit restore, my computer tells me that it's in recovery mode and won't restore it... what do I do?

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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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.
