iPod touch Update pretty much bricked my iPod touch

Force it back into restore mode (if it isn't already) and start again.
I did that once but I caused it myself by futzing around with the kernel boot parameters.. I doubt yours is the same cause

this doesn't sound good. i'd be totally freaking if this was happening to me. i'm at work and haven't update my ipod yet. now i'm scared.
Do you run on a setup that has admin privileges? If not (and many people elect to use unprivileged "runner" setups), then maybe some part of the update assumed you have write permission to something that you don't. Then if the developers never ran QC on the whole thing with unpriv setup, perhaps an auth was required somewhere and error is not trapped in time.
Restarted my girlfriend's computer and now it seems to be restoring. I'll let you all know.
Well all is well, she has a 15inch aluminum g4 macbook, and restarting it fixed the issue.

Dearye, I do hope you get it fixed.
To whomever the idiot that wrote "newbi to iPod touch" is a true dweeb. I'd like to point out that it's been two weeks since the first ones showed up. We are ALL newbis you dolt.

this person was asking a question while explaining that HE was a newbie...
brick means that the unit is disabled to the point that it is unusable... hence a "brick"

Hey thechidz - I'm glad someone else can put the title to a post and the body together before getting defensive.
I had to put my touch in restore mode and then the update installed. My music is copying now. So far, so good.
