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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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.

All media and apps should be in iTunes on the computer. Simply select the content desired to sync to the device and sync it.
FYI, backups have never included media or apps.

but it keep ask me to restore ...
cant start my phone properly ...
stuck at the picture only can emergency call and ask me to connect to itunes..
cant receive any call ...
line unstable ....
wat happen to my phone ...

Try Recovery Mode:
1. Start iTunes (10.0.1, latest version).
2. Connect USB end of cable to a USB port on the computer, not an external hub or keyboard port.
3. Connect dock end of cable to phone.
4. Press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears, then continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees the phone in Recovery Mode.
5. Follow the prompts to Restore - Restore as a NEW iPHONE, without using a backup.
If the above doesn't work, you likely have a hardware failure that requires evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your location.

ITunes Keeps asking me to "Restore" my Ipod

I have an Ipod mini which I bought about two years ago, and I recently downloaded ITunes 7 (I just got a new computer and didn't have much choice in the matter).
Every time I hook in my IPod, it says it's in recovery mode and I need to restore it. I restored it once, wiping it clean, but it still won't permit me to use the ipod. It keeps saying it's in recovery mode and that I need to restore it.
Please advise.
Thanks.

My 3rd gen iPod is also regularly asking to be restored
is that message showing up on the ipod itself, Paul? if so, probably the best place for you to start is with this document:

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?

ITune keeps asking me to restore IPhone 4 after error in updating OS 5.0.1

My IPhone 4 froze while updating to OS 5.0.1. I guess this was because I updated ITune first and without restart Windows 7 I atttempted to update IPhone. I got an error message code "1603" So I push Power button and Home button at the same time to return from the freeze. And, restarted the Windows.
After rebooting, I connected my IPhone to the PC, ITune promted and asked me restore it with options 1: restore from backup and 2: restore as a new phone. At that time ITune did not recognize my IPhone to be the Apple device that it synced all the time. Because I afraid to lose any data in IPhone, I chose " Option 1: restore from Backup. Succefully, I got all data: photos, email message and contacts, but music and apps are gone from my IPhone.
So I reconnected my IPhone to the PC. Then ITune asked me to restore it again and again.
Currently, ITune library contains my apps and songs. All I want to do is let ITune to recognize my IPhone and sync with IPhone so my IPhone gets the apps and song again.
Please help me. Is it OK to choose "Option 2: restore as a new phone"? Will it erase all apps and songs in ITune Library or transfer them into IPhone?
Thanks,

IMHO I've found a solution! (after reading more on the varios boards I did):
1. Dissconected the iPhone from the computer
2. On the iTunes Edit -> Preferences -> Devices (TAB)
3. Erased all of the listed Backups (NOTE! I did backup the iPhone 15 times already ...)
4. Clicked the Rest Synched History button
5. Connected the iPhone to the computer
PRESTO! Now it synched some apps and music and allowed me to use the iTunes on my computer as always.
Thanks for everyone that helped me figure this out!
Hope this helps ...

HT3960 My iPhone will not update. it keeps asking me to restore but then says there's an internal error -1. At first it wouldn't update saying there was no SIM Card. This was a used phone that i had the SIM Card replaced

Got a used iPhone4 to replace my lost one, had the screen replaced and then had the SIM card replaced by Best Buy.
They had issues in the store connecting to iTunes but the Geek Squad where they wiped it and said all was good.
Got home to update it and all was good up to the point where i needed to have the phone to work.
Then it wouldn't recognize there was a SIM card and to restore my phone.
it comes up now with unable to restore, unknown error -1
Help please

Perhaps try the Error 1 or -1 advice from the following document:

Seems I have to restore Ipod but have no backup.... HELP!!

Hi,
I've got a second Gen Ipod. Just got the Ipod Touch and want to transfer my songs there. But now my Ipod (the 2nd gen) died and when I turned it back on and charged it, it didn't show any songs. I checked Settings > About : it says 0 songs but only 6.9 GB still available. I reset it, the songs came back. fine... then a few days later it died again. Resetting didn't work.I still get the same message on the About listing. All my addresses, notes & calendar infos show but no songs.
Itunes keeps asking me to restore it. But I've got no back up. Please help, i've got over a thousand songs that I can't possibily find again saved on it.
Thank you in advance

You might have success in retrieving those songs. Check out the instructions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2).

I'm trying to restore a new ipod but it keeps asking me for the passwords of itunes accounts that are not mine.

It is trying to restore my new ipod from the backup cloud, but it keeps asking me for the passwords of three different itunes accounts, two i know are my friends accounts and I don;t even know whoose the third is. I must have some of their music on my library or something, but it won't backup without these passwords it seems. Is there a way to get around this? I have the music in my Itunes library and can listen to it all I want and burn it on cds but I cant get it to go on my ipod without their passwords. Can i switch it and just have it sync to my computer and not this icloud? My other ipod didnt ask me for these passwords when I tried to sync it.

If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

Why does every 3 mths my ipod keeps on asking for a restore when i did nothing to it

why does every 3 mths my ipod keeps on asking for a restore when i did nothing to it?

Either a bad memory/storage location that manifests its infrequently or a intermittent hardware problem like a loose connection.
