IPod touch problem, stuck. help!
I just got an iPod 4th gen refurbished on ebay. I plugged it in and it worked perfectly but when i went to restore it itunes couldn't do it and now its stuck on the usb to itunes screen and i don't know how what to do.
Try this:
1. Connect to your PC/Mac, quit iTunes.
2. Hold Start/Sleep and Home for 10 seconds
3. Let go of Home button but keep holding Start/Sleep until the Apple logo on the iPhone screen shows up.
4. Let go of Start/Sleep, the device should then boot

IPod touch problem PLEASE HELP NEEDED!
okay so it was my birthday 3 days ago and i got an iPod Touch 32gig 3GS as a gift. i installed some apps n they worked fine. put some music on it. then for some reason i found out tilting doesnt work. later on as i exited a game i wanted to listen to some music, music wouldnt work. so i thought i'd reset it. i went on the ipod touch general thing, went to reset all setting and delete all media. i thought it was frozen as it went to the apple screen with the little circle with lines filling up in the center. i thought it was frozen so i turned it off. now NOTHING WILL HAPPEN, i cant close it, it has to run out of power, when i put it on charge again it turns on and does the same thing, but does nothing, the little circle fills until its full then it blacks out and does the same thing. but NOTHING HAS BEEN HAPPENING. ITS BEEN HOURS! i tried to plug it in to my computer but iTunes wont show it on the source panel so i cant reset it from there, maybe i just cant find it in iTunes? PLEASE HELP! i dont want to have to send it in to apple, but i may have to if this persists!

1st gen ipod touch problem. plz help
hey guys, for awhile now, my itouch been dead. last year in feb, i accidently spilled some water on my itouch and it died. acouple months later, it came back to life and been working like new ever since as if nothing ever happen. now it recently just died again. i dnt know whats wrong with it. ill try to charge it on my ihome or with the wall charger and nothing. i try connecting it to the comp but nothng happens aswell. even if i hold on the home and the top button, it does nothing. but wen im charging it, and holding the home and top button, the apple icon comes on the screen and thats it. after that it dies again. do you guys have anything idea whats wrong with my itouch? would it be that the battery is dead or could something have been burnt on the inside.
Troubleshooting iTouch hardware issues is difficult unless you can open up the case and an expert manages the diagnosis and repair. Especially after potential water damage, which seems likely.
You have several options. You can contact Apple, and they will be able to determine the repairs and probable cost. Personally, I've had very good luck with http://www.ipodjuice.com/apple-ipod-touch-repair.htm, thanks to their reasonable prices and good results. But there's very little that you can do yourself, regrettably. -

My iPod Touch is stuck. I can't get it to power off. All that comes up on the screen is the Apple Logo. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
You may need to hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the apple logo appears. Or anther thing you can try is draining the battery until the battery is dead. That's what i tried and worked. You may need to do those things more than 2 times. OH anther thing is you can try connecting you ipod to your computer and see if it appears on itunes. If those don't work you can send it to apple. So that's what helped me I hope I answered your question.

The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I don't know how it happened I just looked down and it was like that. I have turned it off and back and even reset it but it still keeps zooming back in each time I turn it on. I can't unlock it because I can't see the numbers and it won't let me move around the screen. Please help.
This is asked and answered often. The foru search bar is on the right side of this page.

TS2771 help the home button on my ipod touch is stuck
the circle home button on my ipod touch is stuck. There was trouble charging it but now it will charge just the button is stuck. Does anyone know how to help?
See this older thread for a few possible ideas.

Since you are running iOS 5 you can always turn on Assistive Touch as well, which adds a Home button to the iPod's actual touch screen. Head to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Assistive Touch to turn it on.

My iPod Touch is stuck in DFU Mode
Hi,
My Third Generation iPod Touch is stuck in DFU Mode (Completely Black Screen) and I cannot exit it as I have a broken Sleep/Wake button on the iPod. Even worse, iTunes will not see the device so I can restore it.
The only thing that I can think of is to wait until it's battery has completely drained and then restore it.
Please help me!Try placing the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restoring:

My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore?
Okay my Ipod Touch is stuck in recovery mode and will not restore because "the ipod software update server cannot be contacted". I have tried to restart my computer, restart my ipod, tried different computers, and re-intalled AND updated my itunes and it still will not restore. It is stuck on the picture of the usb cable pointing to itunes and won't do anything else. I'm trying to restore it because my memory was full and I wanted to clean it out and now the ipod is useless, please help me restore it!
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
