Stuck in recovery mode.

Ive just updated my iPod touch 5th gen 64gb to the newest software avaliable i downloaded and then i synced my iPod. Somehow my iPod is now stuck in recovery mode. I keep restoring my iPod to factory setting, It says its been restored to factory settings and shows the pop up saying it has been then the timer comes up with the 10 second coutdown before the window closes but then goes back to the screen saying its stuck in recovery mode and i have to restore my iPod again. Every time i plug the iPod back into my mac it says i have to restore it.

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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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

Then try restoring on another computer.

Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
