Hello tsnovak!
Is English your first language? If not, I can help get someone who can speak your language to translate this article.
Tsnovak, you seem to be on a Apple Logo Loop. This has happened with several iPod generations. Contact Apple Support here: <https://www.apple.com/support/contact/>
Thanks!

Ipod Nano 7th Generation is saying Use Itunes to Restore. Itunes no longer recognizes my device

Please Help, My Ipod nano 7th generation was syncing. When I disconnected from my computer, I no longer had any music on it. When I plugged it back in Itunes prompted me to restore my Ipod. I went ahead and restored it, but it kept asking me to restore. When I unplugged my ipod, I got a white screen saying Use Itunes to Restore. Problem is Itunes no longer picks up my device. I've tried plugging it into different USB ports, I've tried to update Itunes to the newest version, and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I've tried to reset the ipod, but it still goes back to the white screen saying "Use Itunes to Restore". I've been trying everything. Please Help.
Thanks

No. You need iTunes on a computer to restore it. If you don't have iTunes you can download it from here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you don't have a computer, can you can try to borrow one with iTunes installed.

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos?

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.

Hello, I have an iPod touch and it don't has light or brightness. I can see the icons and use it but can get it work properly. I went to settings and the brightness is adjusted tu full level. Any idea?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

HT201413 I am receiving a message saying the iPod "TRACER's iPod" can not be synched. The required file can not be found. I ran the iTunes program repair and restarted both the computer and the iPod. Any suggestions on what else to try?

That can sometimes be caused by a damaged ipod photo cache.
If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:

IPod says "Use iTunes to Restore"

My 1st generation ipod nano has been having problems. Whenever I try to turn it on it either does not respond or says "Use iTunes to Restore". When I plug it into the computer, iTunes recognizes it as a "corrupted iPod" and asks if I would like to restore it. When I try to restore it, it begins the process but then says there is an error and it cannot be restored. I have tried to reset my iPod many times, I have tried all USB ports and different USB cords, my iTunes is up-to-date. I don't know what the problem is. Should I send my iPod in for repair, or buy another one, or can I fix it? Please help!

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help:: iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message

Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

I just purchased an iPod Touch for my brother for Xmas. Can I transfer music from my computer to the iPod Touch without messing it up for him when he plugs it into his computer for the 1st time? Dave

No since you can only sync with one computer.

I lost my ipod touch. I know that Find My iPod will work when they connect to the internet, but if they just plug it into a computer and wipe it will it not work?

So let's just say they never connect my ipod to wifi, if they just plug it into a computer and revert it to factory settings, will my lock command and message not send since it was never on wifi?

because a factory-resetted iPod has no connection to your Apple-ID naturally. To Itunes / Apple it is just a brandnew device. They can't disable it remotely. Technically maybe, but not legally.
Your only hope would be the police. Give them the serialnumber of the device. But chances are near to nothing to have it ever returned. I myself have had one stolen and it never was found and was never localized with the "find my iphone" tool. The thief has obviously wiped it and is happily using it.
iPhones are in a better boat, they can be tracked by their IMEI code. Whenever a phone logs it into a cellular network, this code is transmitted. But wifi-only devices don't have that.

This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

I just updated my iTunes to the new software. When I plugged it into my computer and it said I need to reset my iPod. I did this and everything on my iPod deleted. Now, it won't let me sync my music or apps back onto my iPod. What do I do?

It doesn't say anything. It runs through the sync process like normal and tells me all of the songs that it's synking. But then when it says I can disconnect it, nothing actually synked.

So, i just got my iPod touch and i plugged it into my computer and it wont show up on itunes. Plus, it stays at the screen where it says to plug it in.
