Updating iPod Touch to iOS 6?

Last night, I updated my iPod to iOS 6. Once it said update complete, I turned it on (turned off by itself) and then a screen came up that has the end of an Apple power source that plugs into a computer, and an arrow pointing to a music sigh with iTunes under it.

I plugged it into my computer, got onto iTunes, and it said iPod Recovery Mode: Your iPod is up to date. iTunes will automatically check for an update again on 1/5/2013.

Then, there is a button that says Restore iPod. I clicked on it, and it said Are you sure you want to restore the iPod to it's factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased, and the newest version of the iPod software will be installed.

What should I do? I don't want to erase all of my songs/ apps, but I want my iPod to turn on!

    I wouldn't restore it because you will (from my understanding) lose all of your pictures videos apps ect. I would try charging it for a while just to make sure it isn't dead. I can't really think of anything else so u could go to thae apple website or try restarting the iPod ( hold down home key and the power button for 10 sec.

    Restore means it sets the iPod back to the last time you plugged it into your computer and let it back up. Everything will get deleted on it but then put back onto it according to the latest backup. there's nothing to worry about, you won't lose anything. Try to click back up from the iPod control panel before your restore.

    Source(s): Typical Apple. Seems simple but it isn't.
