How to revive my dead Ipod touch?

Last time I used my ipod was yesterday at about 5pm, working completely normally. I went out from then and had the ipod in my pocket. I got home at 12 and noticed the Ipod was dead. I connected it to a dock incase it was just out of battery, left it for about 10 minutes and still nothing.
This morning I've attempted to restore the Ipod. On connecting to Itunes, the software told me the Ipod was in "recovery mode" and couldn't be used untill the device was restored. I attempted a restore several times, each ending the same with error code 28 (sometime varying to 2005).
((On connecting the Ipod and attempting the restore, I do see the screen light up and show an Apple logo and a loading bar. After two minutes Itunes gives up on the restore and says "Unknown Error 28".))
The Ipod is a forth generation
Itunes also cant tell me anything on about the ipod e.g. Serial Number, Memory and so on are all "n/a".
After calling Apple earlier they've told me to try switching wires, USB ports and PCs (all of which I've done). The I told the "Genius" that the restore wasn't working and resulting in Unknown error 28, to which they replied "The restore has to work"... They then went on to tell me that because my warranty was out, I'd have to fork out £124 for a replacement which (In all honesty, I want to avoid at all cost).
Since then I have found out how to Force Restore my already seemlying capput device. This did make me slightly optimistic as the "Connect to Itunes" picture showed up. One seeing this I attempted to once again restore the decive having (seemingly) a little more success as on this occasion the device appeared to reach the end of the restore load bar. But lone behold, I met another error, this time "Error number 14".
I realise this is ask to get this back to the way it was. Just feel a little cheated is all.
Any help is appriciated.
((I'm running a Win 7. Itunes is the latest version and I've got firmware version 5.0.1))

Hi Sully2112,
Your symptoms are almost identical to a problem I've had for the past two days.
I'm trying to revive an iPod touch 4g that wascompletely drained of battery power. When plugged into a computer, It gets stuck at the Apple logo for 5 seconds, then reboots, ...logo, reboot... in an endless cycle.
Changing PCs did not help.
The main difference is that I'm getting error 21 (when attempting to restore), both errors refer to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
I followed those instructions, they did not help. :-(
Note that when you connect it to iTunes, that does NOT necessarily mean it is charging. If you don't see a battery indicator next to the eject button, that confirms it's not charging.
So I went and got an AC charger for iPhone/iPod and after a couple hours of charging, that seems to have "partially" revived mine.
Right now as I post this the ipod is on AC power and loops from the Apple logo to the locked screen, with a picture of a red battery that is almost empty. Hmm, makes me wonder if the battery is on it's last limb? They are replaceable (although it's not easy and requires soldering skills).
I will keep you updated.
I would suggest try to charge yours with an AC adapter if you haven't already?

How Do I transfer ipod library over to new itunes library

I recently got a new computer so i lost everyting in the transfer. I have windows 8 and I am trying to move all the songs from my Ipod to my new library. When I go into the music tab on itunes it says it will delete everything on the Ipod and replace it with the few songs in the new library. It still shows me the songs on my ipod in the "on this ipod" tab but I dont know how to sync it

The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
You may be able to purchase a third party program to get the music - not supported by Apple.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Us eyour backup copy to move everything to the new computer.

How do i use iPod and Nano with external HD?

I just bought a Nano and i already owned an iPod. I have my iTunes library stored on an external LaCie drive. I've figured out how to sync the iPod to the drive, but can't figure out how to get my music onto the Nano. Can't find any kind of help in the manuals. . ..
I also can't figure out how to manage my music on the external drive. So i can't create playlists or do anything except in the Finder window. Should i install iTunes on the drive??
Can someone please take me through it step by step. I would also like to know how to keep a separate window for the iPod and the Nano.
thank you for your help.

Hi Cat,
From the first part of your post I get that you have iTunes working on your computer and you have your songs on an external drive. But do the songs from that external drive show up in iTunes? If you type apple-I (get info) on a song and look at the summary, does it list the external drive as the location of the songs? If so, I'm not sure why you can't manage your songs. Let me guess that your iTunes doesn't show the external drive at all.
If iTunes doesn't show the music from the external drive, then you should go to iTunes preferences advanced and uncheck Keep Organized and Copy files. Change the Music Location to the folder on your external drive. Then go to the folder on the external drive and drag that into iTunes so that it can catalog the files. You should then see all the song files in iTunes and you should be able to mess with playlists and such.
Now, plug in the Nano and set it to Manually update in Preferences. The Nano should show up in the Source column on the left. Grab the songs your want from your library and drag them to the Nano.
It could be too much or too little, or just the wrong stuff. But I hope this works for your situation...

Hi Divine Inspiration,
You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod

How to connect my ipod to itunes if my ipod is disabled and my top button is broken

how to connect my ipod to itunes if my ipod is disabled and my top button is broken

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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.

Help wanted - step by step process on how to use two ipods on one computer

I'm just in the process of getting an ipod (waiting on delivery!) and want to know how it is possible to have two ipods using the same computer but synchronizing differently. I don't want to risk losing my partners music (he'll be very upset!) and I don't want to end up with his music on my ipod. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a step by step guide or tell me where the best place to look for the answer is. Is it possible somehow to have two different libraries on one computer? Is that how it works?

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two as Chris has already described above is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

Can someone tell me how to use 2 ipods on one computer

There is no limit to how many iPods can run on a single PC. Or how many PCs a single iPod can connect to. Either by Apple design or by any legal issues.

How do I find iPod's MAC and the encryption level used to login?

I have a wireless network with WEP security Wireless Encryption Level 128 bit and also Wireless Network Access activated.
I need to add the MAC of the iPod. How do you get the iPod's MAC?
Also how do I know iPod is using 128 bits instead 64bits in the encryption level?
Does anybody know this?
I cannot connect to the network I disabled the Wireless Network Access and still cannot login, the password is correct and I am thinking that the iPod is using 64 bit with WEP which is totally useless when you have a network already configured.
I will appreciate your help.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You'll find the +iPod touch's+ MAC address in Settings > General > About > Wi-Fi Address.
The +iPod touch+ will use 128/40bit WEP depending on what you have the router set to.
Are you entering the password in the correct case? You may need to put $ infront of your password.
Merry Christmas

Set up the second exactly the same way as you set up the first. If iTunes is already installed, it doesn't need to be installed again.
