My 3rd gen ipod touch is stuck on the "connect to itunes" screen

I have a passcode on it so I'm pretty much just stuck there.
I've tried restoring it, but the processes that were given in the links I found didn't work.
I've also noticed that when I'm turning my ipod off and it get to the power down screen, the touch screen is unresponsive.
Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

Try restorng the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod.  If still have the problem you very likely have a hardware problem.  If you have an Apple store nearby, I would make an appointment at their Genius Bar.

  • 3rd gen ipod touch not recognized by the iMac and iTunes?

    I tried to connect my 3rd generation iPod touch to my iMac so I can sync all my iTunes to mine? However, my iMac and my iTunes won't recognize mine. So, I'm just wondering why not?

    this has got to be the worst and most annoying problem of ipods. you can connect it up and wait awhile, you can then unlock it and play around with whatever you've got on your ipod untill it picks it up (because sometimes the computer is slow at recgonising the ipod) you can un-plug and re-plug your ipod. Hope this helps.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
