Try restarting your computer with the phone connected and see if it will go ahead with the restore. Are you restoring from a back up or a new device? I would suggest setting up a new device.

set up a new device? what do you mean. like buying a new ipod? sorry im not that knowledgable.

[Grumbot]

please respond asap.

When you click on restore it should give you an option to set up as a new device.

[Grumbot]

nope. is that option supposed to come up when i shift click or right click or what

[kenneth]

I thought it would come up when you click restore in iTunes. You are on the summary page correct?

[Grumbot]

yeah im at the summary page
it says extracting software, and then will say preparing ipod for restore, and gets stuck on that every time.

How long does it set? I would suggest using a different pc and do the restore and set it up as a new device.

Well first try getting it out of recovery mode by holding the sleep and home buttons. Then I think if you just simply click restore, you have the option to restore it back to an original new device. If you shift+click it then you have the option to choose the firmware to restore it back to.
