Is the ipod broken forever?
i found a 30g ipod classic today and i figured it was broken but i tried plugging it in to see what was on it and its not syncing. it turns on and charges but it just gives the 'do not disconnect' screen. and when i unplug it a screen comes up that says 'connect to your computer. use itunes to restore.' and then like 4 different languages saying the same thing. it also doesnt get recognized by my computer. it seems like something could be functional i just dont know where to start to try and fix it. any ideas?
Do the iPod disk diagnostic on your iPod, as in this excellent earlier post by tt2.
It wont fix your problem, but help us in troubleshooting.

On my iPod Classic, the right ear bud does not work and the left one spots off and on. The music works fine on a dock, and I know it is not due to broken headphones (a problem I've encountered many times), because they work fine on other iPods, other headphones have the same problem on this iPod, so it must be the connector in the iPod that is not working. Can I fix this myself, do I need to take it in to get it fixed, or do I need a new iPod?
Yes, if you got very steady hands, and you must have the correct tools to open the Ipod. (which is the most difficult part).
For the parts, you can buy off ebay, the audio jack and cable, less than $20 I think.
Those plastic opening tools that they are selling only works for cases that has been opened before, they dont worked for sealed virgin iPod cases.
The screws are quite tiny, so be careful, it might jump out off the window or into the some hole, so better lay white sheets of paper on the floor.
Here is a 4 minute video on how to do it.

my ipods broken so i cant get on it. im trying to sell it so i need to restore it to facotory settings so when the screen is fixed all my stuff wont be on the ipod.
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup (if you want)
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore. Make sure that iTunes is not signed into any account otherwise the ID email address (not password) will be on the iPod.

I dropped my ipod in the toilet, I haven't fixed it for months. I didn't know you could put it in rice, or to not open it right away. Is it too late to fix it, or is there a place I could bring it to? I don't want to get a new one. The ipod is really important to me, it has been with me forever, and there is important stuff on it.
There are companies that specialize in data retrieval but it's costly (probably cheaper to buy a new iPod) and more than likely as Allan said, your circuits are probably damaged beyond all hope of retrieving anything. It's worth calling Apple you maybe able to get a discount or a refurbished iPod. Can't hurt to ask, Good luck. (And in the future... no texting in the john.) Sorry, couldn't resist it.

I am not sure on what to do at this point. I have gotten rid of my old computer, I had used to sync my iPod, and to add to that.. The back button broke! I have tried everything from jailbreaking techniques, to just plugging it in to my new computer and trying to sync it. When I plug it in, and error message comes up on iTunes saying, "You cannot acces iTunes with this iPod, because it is locked with a passcode." My friends locked me out, changed the passcode, and nobody remembers it. Help would be greatly appriciated! My email is, [email protected] the other one is my old email and I am no longer in use of that so the best way to get back to me is by responding through email. Thank you for your time!
