My solution
bandgeeksrule- I had the same problem.
I plugged my ipod into my computer, then held the off button and the home button together for ten seconds, the continued to hold the home button alone, until I heard my computer make a ba bing kind of sound. That's when I knew it recognized it. From there, the itunes program opened, and said I had to restore. Do that, and update it if you have to and it works fine after that.

Thanks for your solutions.
I held the two buttons while connected to the computer and it powered back up. My son had only had it for two weeks so we are both very happy it's working again.
Your Welcome...
Yea!
YEA! THATLL WORK! DO THAT GUYS! Cause i had lost my ipod at my friends house. Then her mom accidentally washed it. I didnt get it back till like 2 weeks later. But when they first took it out the washer, they tried turning it on and stuff. Even blowdried it. They said it wouldnt turn it on. But when i got it back (I believe was two weeks later or earlier), I hooked it up to my computer, AND IT WORKED! AND I ONLY HAD ONE PROBLEM!!! The caps lock button on it. SO YES GUYS! DO-THAT!!Just let it sit for a while

Ok so i bought my ipod touch from a friend of mine and it was jailbroken, Im not new to this because i previously had a jailbroken ipod touch. So i decided to click "erase all content and settings". It said it would take 2 hours to complete so i let it over night and i fell asleep. The next morning i wake up and it is stuck on the apple logo and loading circle. Im like ok no big deal... dfu mode or recovery mode. No matter what i do it doesnt go into these modes, it just stays on the apple logo and then after about 15 seconds, the loading circle pops up and freezes. So im pretty stuck and my pc wont recognize it at all, nothing pops up.
Never mind, decided to update my itunes to the latest update and its in recovery mode now and its detected.

I have a Mac and was attempting to figure out how to fix someone else's iPod Touch. This worked like a charm. Thank you!

Hey guys, not to steal this thread, but my ipod (1st gen) won't turn on (I've tried the holding both buttons method and nothing happened) and when I plug it into the computer it makes the connection sound but then I get an error 43 message. My computer basically will not recognize the ipod. I've tried on multiple computers too. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks
Cant turn ipod touch on!
I was listening to my ipod shuffle and during one song, the music just faded then turned itself off. I tried turning it back on, held the on/off and the menu button down for different intervals, plugged it into a wall charger and into my computer. It still wont turn on. When i plugged it into my computer, the computer or itunes didnt even recognise i had the ipod plugged in.
I have been reading all the useful comments on here but as i am a technophobe, i have no idea what bricking or jailbreaking or any of the other words mean. Can someone please help me to get my ipod working again as its driving me insane

That's kind of what my problem is. My computer won't recognize it. I've deleted and reloaded itunes too to see if the drivers would reload, but that didn't do anything.
