ITunes 9.1.0.79 update completely destroyed my iPod Touch

Question

I am one unhappy Apple customer and highly doubt if I would buy another apple product again. The update before the one mentioned in topic had issues with the genius playlist I had a prior post about with of course no responses from Apple. The new update mentioned in topic seemed to fix the problem for a day. Since then I have not used my iPod touch 2nd generation. I tried to use it today since I had appointments to go to, the screen stays black, won't power on even after holding down the button at top and the button at the bottom of the screen. My touch will not even be recognized by iTunes when it is started up on the pc and the touch is plugged in. I sm so upset with this and all these updates that destroy our equipment, Apple should be held responsible and give us all with problems a refund or give us all new items. My touch is not used that often. In the 1 1/2 years I have had it I probably have 30 hours run time on it if that. There is not a scratch on it and looks as if it came right out of the case so I know I do not abuse my property. It's all these updates that destroy our merchandise our hard earned money bought. Does Apple think we'll just step right out and buy another one?? Well that's debatable and if I do, it won't be another Apple product.

I installed the last iTunes update and sync'ed my iPod touch to it. While it was connected and after the sync, it worked fine, I could get to all the menus and the genius feature was not trying to search for a playlist like it did with the prior update. With the prior update last month, I had the genius feature turned off but the iPod still wanted to do a search, send a message to the screen of the iPod that the feature was turned off, I would have to navigate back to my songs list and hit shuffle again, it would play about 6 songs then start repeating them. Now that the last update came out last week and that problem stopped, I unplugged my Touch and did not use it until today. I tried to power it on and it just stays a black screen. I held down the power button for several minutes and it won't power up. I pressed the on button on the front and it does nothing. I plugged the usb connector into my pc and iTunes won't even recognize the iPod. The battery had a full charge when it was disconnected after the update and sync. Yes I am ranting because I rarely use the iPod and am upset that Apple will do nothing to fix what their updates messed up. Yes I want my Touch fixed. I didn't pay all that money for a 32gb to get alittle over a year's use out of it. I was incorrect to say a year and a half, I bought it for my birthday last year Feb. so a year and 2 months I had this mp3 player, who can afford to throw out money like that?
