IPod Stuck in Recovery Mode Please help!

Hi,
I have a an iPod touch 2g which I turned off one day and it never turned on again. I plugged it into iTunes and it shows the iPod in the main window with the restore button and the check for update screen. Before I have a chance to press anything, a window pops up saying, iTunes ha detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore your iPod before you can use it again. When I click OK the iPod ejects so I cannot restore it. Every time it does this. Ive tried everything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you!

  • My iPhone 4 s is stuck in recovery mode, please help!!

    My phone got stuck in recovery mode while updating.  The restore won't help in my iTunes. 

    After playing with it a bit more and holding down my home button I got the phone to restore. But now, it won't power back on unless plugged into the charger. And even then, it's stuck in recovery mode and i can't get it out. PLEASE HELP ! I am not under warranty and can't afford the Apple Store's repair prices.

  • My itunes tells me my ipod is in recovery mode Please help

    my itunes tells me my ipod is in recovery mode and i need to restore it. when i restore it it gives me the same message. ive tried trestoring it numerous times. i dont know what to do. im an ipod junkie, and ive been without my ipod for at least 6 months now.

    Make an appointment and take the iPod to your nearest Apple store now, if it's still under warranty.
    This is important; did you or did you not save you downloads and do a full remove or re-install of iTunes?
    If it's not then matters can get drastic (and expensive) so check that out first.
    Post back so we know what's going on.

    The only way to get out of recovery mode is do to the full restore If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    After it is done, you can use your iTunes or icloud backup to restore from.
