You can try to hard-reset by holding the sleep and home buttons until the ipod restarts and you see the Apple logo. More Info:

It now says "The ipod cannot be used because it requires I tunes 10.5 or later" but I don't know what to do /
You need to upgrade your version of iTunes. Open the Apple Software Updater and update iTunes to restore.
And I have tried putting it into DFU mode, but that doesn't work either /
It sounds like you do need to upgrade iTunes to go any further, so get back to me once you've done that.
How do I do that?
I am running Windows 8, so this may be a bit different than on your computer, but basically it should be the same procedure.
1. Search for an application that should be on your computer called Apple Software Update.
2. It should check for an update; let it do that.
3. Once it's finished, click Install Item(s). Mine says QuickTime but yours should say iTunes, or maybe also QuickTime.
4. Accept the Terms and Conditions. Then, it may ask for an administrator password, or for you to simply continue. Enter the password or click Continue and proceed. It should begin to install.
5. Let this continue and install the software. When done, you will get this message:
Accept any other messages that appear. Then if all went fine, you will be taken out of the application.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
