Can't access ipod touch

Recently my ipod 5th gen's home button stopped working, and just an hour ago my iPod does not recognize some of my strokes on the touch screen. It won't let me slide to unlock or slide to shut down, I have assistive touch on but it won't let me restart my iPod. It recognizes my finger when I move the Assisstive Touch button around, but is there some way I could restart my iPod without holding the Home and Lock button's down?
We have tried the locked password recommendation, but when we hook the ipod up to iTunes it requires us to enter the passcode on the ipod. We can't do this because we can't open the ipod. What can we do?????

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Can't access iPod Touch files in iTunes.

My iPod Touch screen is broken so I cannot enter my password. I'd like to move my music from my iPod to my computer but iTunes won't sync until I enter my password. Is there a way to get around this without repairing the iPod?

Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
You should let it dry for a week or so, then try.

Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

Looking for a stopwatch app that can run on iPod Touch 2nd Gen (using ios 4.2.1), do any exist?

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Can my new Ipod touch 5 16GB be traded into Apple?

On Apple's website i typed in "can my new iPod touch be traded in?" and it didnt come up with any answer. I'm saving up for a new laptop. I just wanna know how much my iPod is worth at Apple
HERE IS SOME BACKSGROUND INFO:
It is an iPod touch 5
16GB
Silver
No engravings
Has lightning cable & ear pods
All buttons work functionally
Like practally new
No scratches

If you purchased the iPod from an Apple Store within the last 14 calendar days, you can return it for a full refund presuming that it's undamaged. Otherwise, Apple does not take trade-ins on iPods. All they'll give you is a recycling credit of 10% off the price of a new iPod, and obviously you could sell your iPod yourself for a lot more than that.

How many Multi-Touch points can an iPhone/iPod touch have at the same time?

How many Multi-Touch points can an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad have at the same time?
I am curious as IIRC (but forgot where the article is on the Internet),
if a touch surface is wanted to be able to detect more than 1 touch point at the same time,
then that touch surface needs adding 1 more conductive(?) layer.
(e.g. 2 points -> 2 layers, and so on)
So I wonder how many these layers are on the iPhone / iPod touch / iPad or even the trackpad on every MacBook (Pro).
(correct me if I'm wrong)
Just curious, thanks in advance!

I believe it can only support 2. This article explains how the touch screen works but doesn't explicitly say how many points is supports.

I need to downgrade my ipod touch 2nd gen Mc model back to 3.1.3 because that is what my default firmware was when i first bought it. iOS 4.2.1 is slow on my ipod, is there a way maybe if apple can reset my ipod touch back to 3.1.3?

is there a way if apple can reset my ipod touch 2nd gen MC model back to 3.1.3? because iOS 4.2.1 is slow on my ipod and i cant deal with also i cannot afford a new ipod at the moment. also 3.1.3 was my default iOS when i first activated my ipod touch. I bought it in December in 2009

"You can restore to Factory Default which should go back to the original system"
This will not work..
A restore will always install the latest available software.
Again, there is NO legit way to go back at all.

Is there anyway I can use my iPod Touch serial number or Apple ID to trace and find back my iPod Touch? Cause I lost it recently(as you know iPod Touch can only go online if there is WiFi). is there any other ways too, apart from contacting the police?

No.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Peer-to-peer AirPlay
With peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device and Apple TV don't need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. If you have one of these products, you can use peer-to-peer AirPlay:
* iPhone 5 or later, iPad (3rd generation or later), iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th generation) using iOS 8 or later.
* Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later. Find out which Apple TV model you have.
To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, your iOS device needs to have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.

How can I burn ipod touch videos to dvd?

How can I burn ipod touch videos to dvd without compressing and losing quality?

iDVD is not longer officially supported by Apple, but still works like a champ.
In iMovie 10, go to File>Share>File, choose the size (probably should choose either SD or Large) then click Next, give it a name, then click Save (remember where you saved it).
When the activity indicator shows that the Share has completed (may take a while depending on your hardware and the length of the movie) go to iDVD. Go to File>Import>Video and select the file you just created. It will bring the video into your iDVD project.
