    Your problem seems to be that Recovery mode is timing out before the firmware download is completed.

    Follow the instructions in the following to first download the firmware and then place the iPod in Recovery mode and restore via iTunes. Make sure you download the current iOS version for your iPod. For a 5G/6G it is 9.3.2 and make sure you download the firmware for you devices since iPhone firmware will not install on a iPod
