Help guys!

Ouch! If it didn't break you are very lucky.
Follow the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the iPod in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

No it's not true. It's one big practical joke being played on you by Apple.

Got a black screen on the iPod Touch 4th Generation. Tried restoring it and holding the lock and hold buttons but this didnt work. Do i need a brand new screen?

If you successfully restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem. Could be the screen or something else.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Itunes gift card message indicates that it was not properly activated. What should I do?

Itunes gift card message indicates that it was not properly activated. What should I do? I've verified the "gift number" that I input three times already and each submission was ascertained to be correct. What should I do next?

GM Clay,
The activation is supposed to be done at the Point Of Sale. If you know the retailer that sold you the card, take it up with them. If that doesn't work, contact iTunes Customer Service:

See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to restore the phone using Recovery Mode. You will lose all content on the phone. This is the only way to bypass the lock screen if you don't have the last computer the phone was synced to.

My ipad has frozen leaving candy crush, I tried to put it off using the on/off button, but now I have a black screen with no function. I can't read the serial number on the back as it is tiny.! any ideas?

My Ipad mini has frozen leaving Candy crush. I tried to put it off using the on/off button, now the screen is black with no function. I can hear Siri if I push the control. It is charged. Any ideas? I can't read the very small printed serial number on the back so can't use the Apple help as they require the serial number.

Hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button for ~10 seconds, or until the apple logo appears. This is called a reset.
HTH

Some how i cannot get my ipod to work it is where the apple is there and on itunes it said that i do not have a ipod at all i have a touch

i cannot get my ipod to work i cnnot turn it off or start it it is stuck with the apple on it

- Try resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try connecting it to your computer and restoring it. You may have to place the iPod in recovery mode. For recovery mode see:

My ipod is disable and i can't remember my password. I tried recovery mode, what should i do?

I changed my password and i cant remember the new one. I tried some combonations but it just disabled it. I have tried recovery mode and i went to change my apple id password, but it didn't do anything. Should i go to the apple store or is there something i can do?
- Desperate

You said
i went to change my apple id password, but it didn't do anything.
That means that you successfully restored the iPod and it is asking for the Apple ID and password used to set up the iPod last time. That is the Activation Lock
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
You have to enter the Apple ID and password

HT201442 I tried to update my iPad mini to iOS 7.1 using my PC. Then iTunes said that my device is in recovery mode but can't recover my device. What should I do?

iTunes could not recover my iPad mini and gave out the error message 3194. What should I do?

Now when I plug my phone into my PC, iTunes treats my phone as new or restore from previous back up version. I plugged the phone into my PC before and used iTunes to back it up at leat once. When I click to access my phone, iTunes asked for my permission and on the phone screen displayed 'trust this computer'? How weird. No 'back up' option because iTunes still think my phone is new.

I am trying to use Dazzle to access the US Post Office and receive a message saying Your Browser settings do not currently support Secure Socket Layer 3.0.

I have seen the answer posted, but either do not understand it or cannot make it work properly. about:config goes nowhere, cannot find a place to change security level to 0, and by the way, not sure I want to, but I MUST be able to use Dazzle to post my books. (This is my business, online bookseller). And SOON! I'm behind due to this problem, and supposed to leave town Thursday!

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. I'll request that Apple move your post.

Hi.
My ipod touch 5 is getting stuck on startup and i cannot even access the recovery mode.
what should i do to resolve this problem?

Try what you missed here:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
