I have done all of the steps above. It keeps telling me it will update then restore. After waiting for 40min for the update the warning comes back again and the whole process starts again?????

Something went wrong while I was trying to download the new update for the Ipod touch 5. It is showing the itune sign with the cord. I plugged it in to the computer and it is saying it recognizes an ipod in recovery and i need to restore before using with itunes. The only option I can choose says restore and update. After waiting for 40min for the software to download the same message comes back and the whole process starts again?????

Maybe:

Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)

Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .


Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.

Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
