Recover mode must restore.... repeat.... over and over and over

Every time I plug my iPod into my computer it says it is in recovery mode and I need to restore it. When I restore it, it still says it's in recovery mode and I need to restore it. It's doing this for my iPod Classic 80g and my iPod Nano 8g... HELP!

Hello MiniMarine0311,


Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod. I found an article with steps you can take if you continuously get the message to restore your iPod:


If the iPod continues to display this message after restoring it, keep reading for more possible solutions.

Reset

The iPod may have locked up. Reset the iPod. After resetting iPod, attempt to restore it in iTunes.

Service

If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at theiPod Service Website.
