Solution :

Update to iTunes 7.5 or later.

If upgrading to iTunes 7.5 or later does not resolve, follow the following troubleshooting steps:

Restart your computer

Simply restarting your Mac or Windows PC may allow you to successfully restore your iPhone.

Try a different USB port

Connect iPhone to a different USB port on your Mac or Windows PC. USB 2.0 ports that are built-in to the computer are preferred. If your computer has front and rear USB ports, try a port on the other side of the computer. After doing this, attempt to restore your iPhone in iTunes.

Remove extra USB devices

Remove all USB devices except the keyboard, mouse, and the iPhone. Connect the iPhone directly to the supplied USB cable, bypassing the iPhone Dock. Remove all USB hubs and connect directly to the computer.

Try restoring on a different computer

Attempt to restore on a different computer. Ensure that the computer you are restoring on has USB 2.0 ports.

i just recently dropped my ipod touch in a mop bucket and i don't really want to spend 230 bucks for a new one. Any help would be grateful.

There is no other way of fixing your iPod except repairing it. If you don't want to spend much amount, ask different sources who can fix this up and give it to the one who quotes minimum to repair this...
