Chosen Solution

livvy, I would be to put your iPod in DFU and restore, again YOU WILL LOSE all data since the last backup. DFU Mode Connect your iPod to your computer Turn your iPod Off Press and hold the power button for 3 Seconds While continuing to hold the Power button, press the home button as well for 10 seconds While holding down the home button, release the power button for another 10 seconds iTunes should now detect the iPod in recovery mode, press OK, and restore your iPod. you may now release the buttons. If you have not reached this point, then you have not entered DFU Mode DFU Mode Good Luck and I hope this will help.
