It keeps telling me to restore?

After plugging in my 80G iPod classic, iTunes keeps telling me I have to restore my iPod because it is in recovery mode. So I restore it and it pops up with the same thing over and over again. Help???

Check to see if iTunes is up to date on you computer. Also I notice lots of issues with iTunes on Windows.

  • HT1363 My Classic iPod keeps telling me to restore it.

    My Classic iPod that I have had less than a month keeps telling me to restore it but when i plug it into my computer while in disk mode it says to format a disk. What do I do when Microsoft Windows will not format a disk in drive F:?

    Try this (and ignore the troll).
    Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
    Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
    The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.

    i have a ipod classic 120gb it went into restore mode and every time i do restore it in itunes it still keeps telling me to restore

    Anyway, put your iPod touch into Recovery Mode. To do that, hold for 10 seconds by holding power and home button. After you hold it for 30 seconds, let it go. Click OK. Click Restore iPod.. That's it.

  • Nano keeps telling me to restore

    Hi I have a nano and when I plug it into itunes it keeps giving me a message that it has detected an ipod that needs to be restored. I have said yes and restored my ipod (which wiped out my music) but it has not removed the message. It just goes in circles - telling me I have to restore, restoring then telling me It has detected an ipod that needs restoring? can anyone help me?

    I also have a 2nd gen nano that gives me the same message to restore, the nano screen "use iTunes to restore" When I go through the process (updated to new iTunes software yesterday and this happened on my next sync) it stops and new error message "cannot restore as devise is busy" Then the messages start all over again.
    Any ideas.

  • IPod won't sync!  Message keeps telling me to Restore

    Hi there,
    I have the latest software updates to my iPOD / iTunes, but can't seem to sync my music to my device.
    After I plug in my iPod, I get the following error message:
    iTunes has deted an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. (So I click on OK).
    I get the following message after:
    Are you sure you want to restore the iPod "iPod" to its factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased. (I then click on the Restore button.)
    I then get this message...
    Your iPod has been restored to factory settings, and is restarting. Please leave your iPod connected. It will appear in the itunes window after it restarts.
    After my iPod restarts, it starts over and gives me the very first error message. I've been unable to sync any music to my device.
    Please help!! I've done the 5 'R's but it didn't solve this issue.

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
    Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

  • ITunes keeps telling me to restore my iphone

    Every time I plug my iPhone into my laptop to try and add songs etc., it tells me there is an error and that I have to restore my phone.
    I've restored my phone at least 6 times the other week when I plugged it in, and it first happened. I plugged it in for the first time since earlier, and it said the same thing again. I keep losing everything in the meantime - photos, texts etc and I don't want to do it again.
    Any ideas why this keeps happening? What it might be? or what I can do?

  • ITunes keeps telling me the restore (after upgrading to iOS 5) has been interrupted.

    I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.
    As my MacPro is still running Snow Leopard, I decided NOT to sync with iCloud but rather with iTunes.
    Every time I connect the iPhone, iTunes tells me the restore has been interrupted and offers to resume backup.
    When I do, it starts restoring, restarts the iPhone and then I get same message.... over and over again.

    Did you try to use another USB cable or USB port?
    If you would be on a PC, I would also suggest to check the security software settings, but on a Mac there is usually no 3rd party AV software installed.
    Any other USB devices connected during the update process, besides keyboard and mouse?
    Maybe you should consider to remove and reinstall iTunes, if changing the USB port or cable does not help.

  • My phone keeps telling me to restore my phone however i have restored it several of times yet i still cannot have access into my phone

    I had tried to back up my phone through connecting my phone through iTunes, however it had told me to restore my phone which i had done. After this, my phone had not still worked, it had took me to the start up page where it gives you the options to start up as new iPhone, restore from icloud backup or to restore from iTunes backup. I had selected restore from backup which made me continue this cyle again. I had repeated this numerous times however nothing worked. This meant i cannot get any access into my phone.

  • Itunes keeps telling me to restore my ipod to factory settings.

    So I logged on to my computer this evening, and the iTunes icon was gone, so I used Search from the start menu found it and opened my library, When I did there was no music in it even though I have 103 songs, so I plugged in my ipod so that I could copy the songs on it to itunes and it opened saying I need to restore it. So I did and then it opened up the same thing over and over again.
    So now I can't access any music on my ipod. Please help!

    Is this a sony vaio?
    There is some Sony media management software that causes a conflict with itunes saving its library database file.

  • Help! Itunes keeps telling me to restore my Ipod

    I plugged my ipod touch 4th gen into itunes and it asked me if i wanted to install the newest itunes so i said yes and it said it would take 10 minutes so when i came back it told me i needed to restore my ipod to use itunes. I really don't want to though because i don't want to lose all my photos/apps and music. on my ipod screen it has a picture of the itunes logo and the cord i tried turning it on and off again but it still stays on that screen. Is there anything i can do? And if i have to restore will it remove all my data?
    Thanks

    Was it jail broken?
    If no:
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
    Do a disk check on your computer harddisk.
    When syncing, maybe your anti-virus or anti-something is corrupting your backup. Switch that off as well as your firewall before you sync.
