How do I resolve 'do not disconnect' error on a corrupt iPod Classic?

I connected my IPod Classic & It says on the iPod do not disconnect. Before it said on my computer restoring iPod but I got inpatient after an hour & disconnected it. Now it says on the iPod do not disconnect. What should I do next. I have my iTunes account open but don't know what to do next?

iPod Touch 4th Gen Recovery Problems So I wanted to restore a 4th Gen iPod touch and I keep getting the same error "This iPod was previously in DFU mode, but restarted and is no longer in DFU mode. To restore this iPod from DFU mode, disconnect it and place it in DFU mode again." I had seen that someone else had this same problem ITunes says iPod isn't in DFU mode. - Apple Community, But he didn't get anything useful, so I am hoping someone has any useful information. I had been restoring it as one of my siblings used it before I got a phone, I had done that too, and I wanted it back, so they got a phone and I got this back, and so it was being restored like normal and then I don't know what happened but it led to me having this DFU mode problem, even when I put the iPod in DFU mode it didn't work. PLEASE HELP!

3rd gen ipod touch DFU warning on restore attempt When I plug my 3rd gen iPod touch running iOS 4.2.1 into iTunes I get a warning "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod". When I choose to restore to original settings I receive this error: "This iPod was previously in DFU mode, but restarted and is no longer in DFU mode. To restore this iPod from DFU mode, disconnect it and place it in DFU mode again." I have done as directed several times but iTunes is still unable to communicate with the device. I am pressing sound down, power and home buttons simultaneously to switch into DFU mode. I have switched into this mode with the iPod disconnected from the computer and connected. I received the same error. Anyone have any thoughts as to how to reset or restore this iPod which will hopefully allow communications.

Ipod Classic Will Not Sync with iTunes My iPod Classic will no longer sync with iTunes on my Windows 10 PC. I am running the latest iTunes software version and using the correct iPod drivers. The settings show that the iPod is full of "other" content, leaving no room for anything else. I read this happens when the drive has become corrupted and needs to be restored. However, when I try doing just that, I receive a 1439 error message saying that my iPod cannot be restored. I've also tried pressing the center button and Menu button simultaneously, but that hasn't worked either. Is there any fix for all this, or is my iPod shot?
