Help! Itunes keeps telling me to restore my Ipod

I plugged my ipod touch 4th gen into itunes and it asked me if i wanted to install the newest itunes so i said yes and it said it would take 10 minutes so when i came back it told me i needed to restore my ipod to use itunes. I really don't want to though because i don't want to lose all my photos/apps and music. on my ipod screen it has a picture of the itunes logo and the cord i tried turning it on and off again but it still stays on that screen. Is there anything i can do? And if i have to restore will it remove all my data?
Thanks

Was it jail broken?
If no:
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
Do a disk check on your computer harddisk.
When syncing, maybe your anti-virus or anti-something is corrupting your backup. Switch that off as well as your firewall before you sync.

  • Itunes keeps telling me to restore my ipod to factory settings.

    So I logged on to my computer this evening, and the iTunes icon was gone, so I used Search from the start menu found it and opened my library, When I did there was no music in it even though I have 103 songs, so I plugged in my ipod so that I could copy the songs on it to itunes and it opened saying I need to restore it. So I did and then it opened up the same thing over and over again.
    So now I can't access any music on my ipod. Please help!

    Is this a sony vaio?
    There is some Sony media management software that causes a conflict with itunes saving its library database file.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset   >  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

    A update(6.1.5) was available for my ipod 4 and an error occurred. Itunes is telling me to restore my ipod, but i know that if i restore my ipod everything will be erased. But will i have the opinion to get everything back after i restore my ipod? I dont have any music, but i have about 14000 photos. And none of my photos are saved to my laptop. Help Please!

    Photos
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • Help - iTunes keeps telling me iPod in recovery mode needs to be restored

    I have updated my software for my iPod, but it keeps telling me to restore to original settings. I have restored 5 times in a row, but still won't let me into iTunes. Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
    Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

  • ITunes keeps telling me the restore (after upgrading to iOS 5) has been interrupted.

    I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.
    As my MacPro is still running Snow Leopard, I decided NOT to sync with iCloud but rather with iTunes.
    Every time I connect the iPhone, iTunes tells me the restore has been interrupted and offers to resume backup.
    When I do, it starts restoring, restarts the iPhone and then I get same message.... over and over again.

    Did you try to use another USB cable or USB port?
    If you would be on a PC, I would also suggest to check the security software settings, but on a Mac there is usually no 3rd party AV software installed.
    Any other USB devices connected during the update process, besides keyboard and mouse?
    Maybe you should consider to remove and reinstall iTunes, if changing the USB port or cable does not help.

  • ITunes keeps telling me to restore my iphone

    Every time I plug my iPhone into my laptop to try and add songs etc., it tells me there is an error and that I have to restore my phone.
    I've restored my phone at least 6 times the other week when I plugged it in, and it first happened. I plugged it in for the first time since earlier, and it said the same thing again. I keep losing everything in the meantime - photos, texts etc and I don't want to do it again.
    Any ideas why this keeps happening? What it might be? or what I can do?

  • ITunes Keeps asking me to "Restore" my Ipod

    I have an Ipod mini which I bought about two years ago, and I recently downloaded ITunes 7 (I just got a new computer and didn't have much choice in the matter).
    Every time I hook in my IPod, it says it's in recovery mode and I need to restore it. I restored it once, wiping it clean, but it still won't permit me to use the ipod. It keeps saying it's in recovery mode and that I need to restore it.
    Please advise.
    Thanks.

    My 3rd gen iPod is also regularly asking to be restored
    is that message showing up on the ipod itself, Paul? if so, probably the best place for you to start is with this document:

    Have you tried rebooting for the Mac and iPod to see if that helps? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    It wouldn't hurt to also try plugging the iPod into another USB port and use a different USB sync cable.

    At this point it is too late. When you restore it will restore the backup made at the time of the last sync. And changes to the phone's content after that last sync will be lost.

  • TS1503 iTunes keeps telling me I don't have enough space to sync the songs and it clearly says 3 GB free and yet it won't sync. Has anyone had this issue ever? Before a week ago I could fit 900 songs and now I can't fit 300.

    Okay guys iTunes keeps telling me I don't have enough space to sync the songs and I know that is BS because it clearly says 3 GB free and yet it won't sync. Has anyone had this issue ever? Before a week ago I could fit 900 songs and now I can't fit 300. I know that my phone could fit 800-900 songs and there aren't many apps. There has to be a glitch. Can someone help? Please send me a response if you truly know the answer.
