I have no idea whats wrong with my iPod touch. Today in school I turned it off and when I went to turn it on it wouldn't turn on. I have verbose mode on my iPod so when I try and boot it up I get all the text. But after awhile it freezes, a white loading wheel comes up and also freezes, my screen flashes white for a split second, then it does it all over again. I plugged it into my computer and iTunes recognized it so I synced it to back up all my stuff while it was still in boot up. The back up didnt work cuz my iPod rebooted before it finished. After a few times of trying this itunes completely stopped recognizing my iPod. I put it into DFU mode and iTunes still didnt pick it up. I really cant figure this out. I've had it booting in the loop for a few hours and one time it booted into safe mode but when i tried to get out of safe mode my iPod froze and it rebooted and went back into the loop. If you need it, I can put up some of the things verbose mode says when booting. I really need to get this fixed soon and if it's possible I need to get the information off of it. I have a bunch of things on it that I really need and they would be extremely hard to get back again. Sorry for such a long post.

Thanks,
Austin

**UPDATE**

I have no idea what I did but I was able to get iTunes to read my iPod so I restored it and now it works.
