IPod touch near than dead

Hi,
After a failed upgrade of software (requested by iTunes):
a) iPod touch with totally black screen, no changes after push any key combination.
b) When connected to MS Windows computer, after push during near 20 seconds the "start" and "home" keys, a message "unrecognized device" appears.
c) "Apple Mobile Device" service is running.
d) Driver "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" appears at same time than "unrecognized device" message, with: green "!" symbol over icon; error "device cannot not be started (code 10)".
e) All software updated today after full removal of previous one.
After 5 hours working the subject, I do not known what more I can test.
Any hint is welcome.
Thanks a lot.

Well, I don't know who "the man" is but you now own a small flat brick.  None of us on the forum have any clue what "the man" did to it and, in fact, Apple won't even do a non-warranty repair on it.

    Does it still charge if you use the wal adapter? If yes, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode to your computer, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore
    If this does not help, contact Apple to get it serviced: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

    That message is usually due to a bad cable.

  • Ipod touch screen digitizer dead spots

    I bought an iPod Touch duty free and have found that on keyboard keys R, D, F, X & C don't work. As these are all in one region it would seem part of screen digitizer is dead. I have upgraded firmware to latest and tried a full restore.
    Has anyone else had similar problems or suggested fixes or am I going to have to send to Apple for Service.

    Unfortunately there are no official Apple Stores in Indonesia the Touch hasn't even got here yet. I was kind of hoping there some known bug and maybe fix on way.
    If its all hardware I am going to have to send back to Apple for Service. Which will be slow from here.

  • IPod Touch 3rd Gen Dead?

    My iPod Touch is not recognized by iTunes. I've tried hard resetting it multiple times (holding home and sleep button), but the screen remains blank. This problem surfaced a couple months ago and I have been letting it "rest" for quite some time. I can't remember what iOS version it was running when I last used it, but my guess is early in 4.x.x. I saw it sitting on my desk today and figured i'd try and bring it back to life. I plugged it in to my Macbook and saw the low battery charging sign briefly, and then the screen went back to blank. Sweet. I know that when iDevices are at extremely low battery this symbol comes up and then it takes a little while for it to be recognized by iTunes, but usually when that happens and the screen is blank pressing the sleep button will show the low battery charging screen again. This has not been the case with my iPod. Help would be appreciated

  • Found Ipod touch near my home

    I found an Ipod touch during my walk last week and I was wondering how I can find it's owner. They have put a password code so I can't access and see who it belongs to. My computer installed the device on, but couldn't be unlocked:(
    I was looking for a serial number in the back, but can't seem to find it.
    Can anyone help me out??
    I will do my best to find the person and if i can't then, I will keep it. I know how expensive they can be, so I want to find the owner.
    Any help or advice will be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Go to youtube there are lots of videos on how to get around it. Only problem is that you will wipe all their content off the iPod.
    ...which will make it impossible to find the original owner.  Don't do it until you are sure you can't find the owner.  One thing you could do is to bring the iPod to a place with free wi-fi or turn off the security protection on your router for about 15 minutes.  That way if the owner had set up FindMyIPod, by connecting to wi-fi s/he could send you a message telling you how to contact him/her.  If you manage to return it, you will have done a very good deed.

  • Ipod touch.. half dead?

    okay, ive had my ipod touch since december, and this is the first time its frozen/not responded... note i havent hacked it... I went to get it last night so i could play it in the car, i pressed the wake/sleep button and the apple icon which normally appears when you turn it on/reset it, appeared. it promptly disappeared about 5 seconds later, not loading the ipod up. This happened a couple of times. i plugged it into the car kit i have to play it in, this also charges the ipod, and pressed the home button. The unlock screen appeared. However, the slider was unresponsive to my touch, but if i double pressed the home button then the music options would appear, however, these wouldnt respond either. Then i held down the wake/sleep button to turn it off so i could reset it, and it came up with the power off slider, which again, didnt respond to my touch, and the screen promptly went to black after 5 minutes.
    Currently the wake/sleep button is unresponsive, as is the screen, but the home button still works, so i know the ipod isnt frozen. The computer registers exterior hardware being connected, but because i cant unlock it, i cant connect it to itunes, therefore i cannot reset or restore it....
    can anyone help?

    Stories like this freak the **** out of me :)).
    Now look, if you can`t reset it, the best thing to do, is to put it in DFU Mode ( Device Failsafe Utility ), and the restore it. You do this by pressing both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until the iPod displays the Apple logo, and after the logo appears, quickly release the Seep/Wake button, but keep pressing the Home button, do this until the "Connect To iTunes" screen appears.
    PS: This will not work with the iPod connected to any dock. I did it when connected directly to computer via the USB wire.
