How to get my iPod out of recovery mode when itunes won't restore it

My iPod touch is in recovery mode and will not exit it, i've tried clicking the home button and lock button in the stated order on youtube etc but it has not worked. I clicked restore on iTunes and it downloads it all and updates but then does nothing and gives me the option to restore it all over again. I honestly have no clue what to do about it.

Loop

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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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.
