No.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

I have a shuffle. When I plug it into Itunes, it tells me that it has not been ejected properly, and it will not recognize the Ipod. I have turned off the computer, and tried this with another shuffle with the exact same results. Any ideas?

Do you remeber the exact (or close to it) wording of the error message?
Try manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try to restore
Next try DFU mode.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HOW TO UNLOCK AN IPOD TOUCH WHEN YOU FORGOT PASSCODE

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

IPod Touch stuck in a cycle between Apple logo and loading sign, recovery mode not working.

I have a 4th generation iPod touch (I think it's 4th gen) and it is stuck in a vicious cycle. It started by just randomly crashing while I was using it (many of the apps were not functioning properly beforehand). It went to the Apple logo for a little while, and then went to a loading sign for a few minutes. Suddenly, the screen flashed white, and appeared to be turned off. Then it turned back on to the black logo, and the cycle began again. i have attempted many times to put it in Recovery mode, but when I hold the Home and Sleep/wake buttons, it "turns off" but only for a few precious seconds before beginning the cycle again.
Another thing, I never downloaded iOS 6 because I didn't want to lose the old YouTube app. That may be a hindrance.
At first I wondered if it could be a virus, but now I don't think so.
I am very sentimental about this iPod, and I have a lot of pictures and high scores on it that I would prefer not to lose, if possible, however, I'd rather lose that than the whole iPod. I will gladly go to the Genius Bar, but I wanted to see if anyone on here could help me out first.
Any ideas on how to get it working normally again?

I helped someone earlier who had the same problem. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3374810?

When synching my IPhone 3Gs I now get a sign "Attempting to copy to Disk failed. The required disk cannot be found." This is after synching a new Iphone 4s.. Help!!

When attempting to synch my IPhone 3Gs I now get a sign "Attempting to copy to Disk failed. The required disk cannot be found."
This is after synching a new Iphone 4s and having received some help from Apple Support who assisted with some setting
changes. Unfortunately this was over a protracted period of time and I cannot recall what was changed. Apparently my 3Gs is out of
its warranty and so they cannot help me unless I pay £25....
Can anyone help??

Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.
