Ipod keeps asking me to restore over and over after updating ITunes

I opened ITunes to add some new songs, and it told me to update the latest version of ITunes, which I did, and then it told me my IPod was corrupted, and I should restore it, which I did, and now I am in that loop where it keeps telling me to restore the software. I cannot get the songs back onto my IPod. I even tried the part of changing the drive letter, and that still didn't solve my problem.
After the restore, the IPod looks okay, but whenever I plug it in to upload the songs, I get that restore error again. I see this problem over and over again, so it appears as though others are having the same problem. Can anybody help?

Can't help remembering those infamous Apple commercials where the PC guy is ridiculed. Anyway, I'll give the same model 5G/30GB one more chance. The one I got was white; maybe the blacks are better.
The fact is, these devices are indeed jammed with sensitive technology. An actual spinning hard disk that doesn't do well under vibrations or shocks, and the extra battery juice it needs are not to be ignored. I never understood why anybody would want to watch moving images on a 2-in screen to begin with. I tried to no avail to convince my son to go for iPod Nano thinking it'd be more stable with its flash memory technology (I assume that's what Nanos have). The price difference didn't make sense, and I gave in. But now, I sort of think maybe it does. Anybody with experience to put in a good word for Nano as opposed to 5G Video?

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes

Cannot backup and sync after updated iTunes. Have tried to hard reset iPhone (all data lost- sad) and reinstalled iTunes. Still cannot work.

It sounds like you bough the song only, not the song and the ringtone.
Ringtones via itunes are available in the U.S. only.
In the U.S. to make a ringtone you:
Buy the song with a bell - 99 cents
Find the song in your library and click the bell
This bring up the editor.
You edit the song to the portion you want.
Then click buy to purchase the ringtone - another 99 cents.
Then it shows up in ringtones and you can sync.
As I said, this method of creating ringtones is available in the U.S. only.
There are, however, many ways to make ringtones:

2) As soon as the screen goes black, keep holding the middle button, let go of the menu button and hold the "play" button.
Your ipod will reset. Just plug it up to the computer and restore!

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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
