Thank youuuuu!!!!!

you might be stuck in a DFU mode or just looped try the following a few times to see if this helps. Since you are using a PC and you might have other conditions try the following steps if this does not work PM and I will set up a web session and try to help you face to face.

Thank you,

Hold the power and home buttons down (the iPod will power off after 10 seconds, but keep holding those buttons down)
After the iPod powers off, release the power button (but keep holding the home button down)
After a couple more seconds, you should hear that magical “ding dong” that means the iPod is coming back alive, and that Windows has detected it. You may even see a little “New hardware” popup in Windows. It is now safe to release the home button, and your iPod is in DFU mode.
Now iTunes will see it as a DFU mode iPod and should ask you to automatically restore its firmware.

My mom's iPod

My mom's iPod has been dead for a while and she finally gave it to me to charge it. Nothing happened when I plugged it in and I had it in the wall charger all night nothing happened. I tried holding down the home and the power button while the iPod was is the computer but that didn't work. I'm think she got it wet. Any information would help thanks
 
When I tried to downgrade my iTouch it gave me error code 20 and then it gave me error code 3194 and I think it got stuck in recovery mode but then I tried to put it in DUF and it went to a black screen but the thing is that i have no idea if it broken or what. I would really really appreciate it if someone please help me
 
Hi, I think I am going through the same problem as the one above. Ive tried all of the steps that people have suggested, but none have worked.

When I plugged in my iPod Touch v.1 into my PC and turned on iTunes. It did not find my iPod. I held in the power and home button for about 5 -10 seconds, but still nothing happened.

If anyone has or is going/been through this, please, just post what you did to resolve it. If there is not a solution, I will send it away to Apple Repair and Inspection Centre, to see what they can do.

Please Help!

This is rude. Please start your own new thread. Explaining your situation

Help me please!

okay so here is the thing, I jailbroke my ipod touch with greenposi0n the other day, well it worked fine. (I also did this to a few of my others friends ipods as well) But I clicked on cydia and it was loading and my friend took it and was getting impatient and it froze. So I decided to turn it off and well now when I try to turn it back on it refuses to and it will bring me to my apple and then the loading icon, well when I plug it in it will consistitly make that "ring" noise that nomal ipods make when you plug it in. How do I fix it so it can turn on again?
 
Disaster

Hi everyone.

My iPod Touch 4g is cracked. Yet it's working perfectly. Or was, until about 2 days ago. I am so frustrated. It was working perfectly well even though it was cracked and now...I feel like a part of me is dead.

Please, anyone, H.E.L.P.
Please, I dunno what to do. I restored it but nothing happened. I know that the iTouch itself is working because I took screenshots and pictures with it and it connects normally to my PC, but the screen is black. It isn't jailbroken.

What do I do? Check the connections? Restore again?
P.S. There aren't any Apple stores closeby and I've had it for a year already, so the warranty's down the drain :(
