Hi,
Message "use iTunes to restore" has shown up in My iPod nano 5g. When I try to restore it with iTunes it becomes a infinite bootloop when it is connected. I can´t restore it.
Disk mode does´t work. Always reset.
any ideas? thanks.

Are you sure "Disk mode does´t work"? Did you use the procedure described here?
Putting iPod into Disk Mode - Apple Support
If you can put the iPod into Disk Mode, you may be able to take some steps, like doing a Restore in iTunes (in recovery mode). Or trying to reformat (Erase) it manually using Disk Utility on the Mac.
The most likely cause is a hardware problem related to the iPod's storage. iTunes sees it as data corruption, so directs you to do a Restore. Since the Restore cannot fix a hardware problem, iTunes sees it as data corruption again and direct you to do a Restore.
If you just let the iPod start up (after a Reset), does it get to its normal screen menus?
Do you use a Mac or Windows PC to run iTunes? If Windows, what version?
Hi,
Firstly thanks for your support.
When I left the iPod start up , the normal menu never shows up. It is always the message "use iTunes to restore".
When iTunes tries to restore it , it reboot again and again so the process doesn's finish or even start. I can´t try disk mode either.
I use Mac version but I also try a windows. I don´t know how to format iPod if I can´t mount the disk.
thanks

Nothing
In step 5, apple logo appears and reset, again and again in a loop. I cannot put disk mode.
I don´t have more ideas ....
yep, It is possible.
I will wait to the battery is dead and charged it again.
If doesn´t work I will keep it like souvenir.
thanks for your help
