my ipod touch 3g is frozen on connect to itunes screen.....PLEASE HELP!

[lostmyipod]

okay so ive been trying to restore it and every single time ive done this i always get the same results, the ipod finishes restoring and goes directly back to the "connect to itunes" screen and never shows up on itunes.
i have the latest version of itunes and i recently restored my entire computer back to factory settings and re-installed itunes again and that didnt change anything.
i hope someone can help me

Wrong part if the site but are you trying to shift+restore or just clicking restore?

[lostmyipod]

Which iTunes do you have? You may also want to download tiny umbrella, with tiny umbrella you connect your ipod open tiny umbrella you will see your ipod as a connected device and will have the option to exit recovery
