A Restore erases the iPod, so if their is any malware-related files on it, it will be gone. But if doing a Restore again just causes iTunes to ask that you do another Restore, that is a problem.


If your computer has a malware-related problem, separate from the iPod problem, you should fix that situation, as it may be affecting how iTunes works.


What is your computer's OS? If Windows, what version?

Since you have Windows XP, did you read the document I previously linked about the iPod's assigned drive letter? What you descibe is one of the possible symptoms of this problem. It says...

iTunes displays the "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore" message even after the iPod has been restored.

The document provides instructions for fixing the problem, by specifically assign a drive letter to the iPod.

Your ipod software is up to date.Itunes will automatically check for an update again on 5/2/2013 .

My iTunes shows that too, on the iPod's Summary screen. So, if you are able to see that screen, doesn't that mean you were able to complete a Restore successfully, and the iPod is now connected to iTunes and working normally?


I thought the original problem (from your first topic post) was that after performing a Restore, it would immediately tell you that you needed to do a Restore.


Or, do you see that message elsewhere...?

When you get to the Summary screen, what happens when you click on Music (next to Summary in the row of "tabs")? On the Music tab, set up syncing for songs. Set it to Sync Music and choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. As a test, select (checkmark) just one small playlist below, as your selection of songs. Click Apply.


Do the songs on that playlist sync to the iPod?


If there is a problem when doing the above, please explain in detail when it happens and what occurs.

Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode

Optionally, shut down the computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub. Start up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected (if normally used).


Run iTunes. Connect iPod to a direct USB port. iTunes may prompt you about "recovery." Try to do a Restore again.
