iTunes: Restoring iOS software

When you connect an iPod that is in recovery mode to a computer iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode. Did you get that message?
If not:
- Try DFU and recovery mode a few more times since it can be tricky to get the button-pushing timing correct.
- Try using this program to place the iPod in recovery mode
yes itunes detects it right now was downloading the new ios to then restore it but it says that the connection time runs out or something like that but the internet is just normal
Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer
my ipod is password locked so i put it in recovery to restore it but itunes still asks for the password i have ipod 4g and last itunes
