I should might add up that I get a problem like "iTunes couldn't connect to the update server" it tells me to try again later!

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

So today I tried again and failed. My iPod is in recovery mode and when iTunes recognise it tells me that I have to restore it first!I try to restore it and after it has finished extracting the software it shows me the error I shown you yesterday...
