HELP D: I haven't had my iPod touch 4g black for even a year yet and it's already broken.... How do I fix it?? Well, I decided to try to Jailbreak it and searched some videos on YouTube til I found one that I thought might work, I downloaded LimeRa1n and set it all up, once it told me to restart my iPod, I did and the set up iTunes popped up on my iPod, I set it up to iTunes and it sais i had to restore it so I did, once I did that it was restoring then, a pop up popped up on iTunes saying, "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. The device cannot be found" I clicked ok and tryed to restore it again it has been doing the same thing, I've tryed at least 10 times.... PLEASE HELP ME, I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR AN ANWSER ALL DAY???

If it is less than a year old, than you should have one incident of free phone support for the device (as long as you havent already used it).

Call Apple.

Try a DFU restore and skip the jailbreak.
