Updated my ipod touch, but it keeps restarting itself constantly

it did this ocasionally before the new update on big programs but now it does it about 5 seconds after it restarts itself, and continuously goes through this cycle unless i shut it down in time before it restarts itself again. any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same problem, where trying to sync my iPod will cause it to restart and I get nowhere with updating it. It's completely frusterating and I'd do anything to get it to stop, but won't restoring it delete everything? I'm not too worried about my songs because they're all saved in the cloud but I have a lot of pictures and I'm not really sure how to back them up, because whenever I try to plug in my iPod and use it through the windows explorer rather than iTunes and just manually move the photos to the hardrive, it restarts and I can't get anywhere...
I have a 4th gen, 8g iPod and windows vista if that helps. Thanks for any feedback, it would be awesome just to get a second opinion.

When I try to update my iPod Touch, I get an error message regarding my network connection, and it will not update. Any suggestions?

When I try to update my iPod Touch, I get an error message saying "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Has anyone else had that and how do you end up updating your iPod?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem

My iTunes Library is on my computer, I have done a backup manually, and all of my music is on an external hard drive (as well as my iTunes library).

Thanks a lot Recycle bin is empty, I will move some files from the C drive to an external hard drive, then do the update, and then move the files back. Any files you recommend not moving to the external hard drive at all?

Even though the downloads are for the same iOS version number, they are different downloads and you can't use an iPod iOS update to update an iPhone or iPad etc. The iPad 1 and iPad 2 are also different downloads. So you will need to download different updates for your iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad 1 and the iPad 2.

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.
