How do I get out of this "Restore-loop"?

I recently tried to restore my iPod touch 2g to it's original settings by deleting everything. But I hit the restore button on the iPod itself instead of doing it through iTunes. Now it's in a "restore-loop" so to speak and won't turn on.  I can  put it into DFU mode but that doesn't change anything. It just goes back to the loop of turning on after that whenever i press a button. The main problem is I can't connect it to iTunes. It's not recognized by iTunes or my computer. What can I do to get out of this loop? Is there anything I can do myself or do I need to take it to an Apple store? If anyone has had the same problem or knows how to deal with this, I'd appreciate getting some suggestions as to how I can fix my iPod.

    Hi itunes for windows,
    If you are being repeatedly prompted to authorize iTunes, even after you have already done so, you may find the following article helpful:

  • How do I get out of the restore loop in Nano gen 7

    I have a 7th generation iPod Nano which I proceeded to restore to factory setting. It is now in an endless loop of recovery mode and needing restoring.
    Software Version 1.0.3
    Does anyone have the solution?

    Greetings reklats,
    It seems you are unable to restore your iPod Nano to factory settings. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPod Nano needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

    Found a setting in Google that was telling it to open all result in a new Windows which I was guessing that Firefox was overriding and open it in a new tab like settings suggested unchecked the box in Google and now the behavior is back to normal.

    My iphone 4 is in recovery mode after trying to install update 7.1.1.  How can I get out of this with out having to do a restore?

    You don't. You have no choice but to restore at this point. The update did not complete successfully. iOS needs to be restored using iTunes.

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • HT3224 I am new to Mac and started transferring data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  Connection was lost once I started and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring Information' screen.  How do I get out of this screen to attempt the connection again?

    II am new to Mac and was trying to transfer data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  The connection was lost however and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring you nformation' screen.  How do I get out of this screen so I can attempt the connection again?  Is it safe to force shut down of my Mac and will it still prompt me through all the setup process again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac and PC are connected by Ethernet, unplug and plug that cable again. If not, you have to turn off the MacBook by holding the Power button.
    In the next startup, try to transfer your files again. It's important not to interrupt the transfer process, because in most cases, you will stop it and you won't be able to resume it

  • On Word I was copying a sentence, but the command has not been executed and the timer is constantly circling. It has been circling for over 10 minues. How do I get out of this?

    You probably will need to force-quit Word. Go to the Apple menu, choose "Force Quit", locate and select Word in the list of applications and click the "Force Quit" button. You will of course most likely lose any changes you made to the document since you last saved it (or it was auto-saved, if you have that option turned on in Word).

  • How do I get out of this box????

    I froze after the original installation of lightroom 3 and couldn't decide whether to create a new lr file or upgrade my elements 9 file.  At the freezing point I am stuck in a little box which asks me to (myself!) create the file or choose another file.
    I don't know where to  create the file, or how to name it, or where to put it.  Would prefer to upgrade my photoshop elements file, but no longer seem to have that choice.  I can't get back to that choice.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled my new lightroom, but it just comes up to that box.
    Help help help please.

    Hi there...yikes, I don't use this email address very often and didn't see all the messages until just now.  I went on chat with an adobe person this morning, and he walked me through the manual removal procedure, including how to find hidden files.  Once I had deleted lightroom in that place, everything was fine and I could relaumch it completely...thanks for your interest.

  • Hey, I accidently upgraded my iphone 4 os to ios5, and stuck in "could not activate". How do i get out of this ? Thanks

    hey, I accidently upgraded my iphone 4  to ios5, and stuck in "could not activate". How do i get out of this ? Thanks
    Got a i7 processor with win 7 64bit.
    How do i get back ?

    How do you "accidentaly" upgrade to iOS 5?  Are you a registered developer?  As I understand, Apple has told developers that they do NOT support downgrading from the Beta. You'll have to go over to the developers forums and see if someone there can help you.
    If you're not a registered developer, then congratulations. You are now the proud owner of an iBrick until you either pay to enter the developers program or until the final release comes out in the fall.

  • Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?

    Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?
    I was saving a document when it originally quit. so "locked" file appeared in directory as well as reg file.
    Upon restart of InDesign, recovery failed and software quit again.
    Restarted computer, then indesign, file opens but as soon as I select "recover" it sends a message that indesign needs to close.
    I cannot seem to get out of this cycle. Help.

    Use your operating system’s Search utility to find a folder called (InDesign Recovery) and delete it.
