My brother's iPod touch from 2007 has had a broken home button for the past few months, which is annoying, but he's been able to deal with it.
However, yesterday, something happened with his iPod, and now whenever he reboots it, the "connect to iTunes" icon shows up. Unfortunately, we're vacationing, and the only computer he has access to is my laptop, and my iTunes isn't synced to his iPod. This means that whenever I try to restore the iPod for him, it says something about iTunes not being able to connect until the passcode has been entered, which isn't possible, because the first thing that shows up is the "connect to iTunes" symbol.
To top it off, I can't reboot the Touch in DFU mode because the home button is broken.
So... help. Is there anything I can do for my brother, or is he stuck with a bricked Touch until we go home in a month?
