Place the iOS device in recovery mode using this program

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
Enter DFU mode without home button or Power Button | technoNix
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Try to restore "as new ipod" without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data causing your problem. How to back up your data and set up as a new device

My on/off button and volume buttons stopped working.

For no apparent reason, the on/off button and volume buttons stopped working. iPod touch 4th gen with 4.3.3 installed.

You can try a couple of things.
First a hard reboot: hold the sleep/wake and home button down until the unit shuts off and boots back up to the Apple screen.
Second restore the device py plugging it into iTunes and under the device summary screen click restore. You want to restore from backup to make sure all your info is synced back to the iPod at the end. Depending on how much stuff is on there this can take a while.
Thrid, take it to the Apple Store and have a Genius look at it. Depending you how bussy your local Apple store is you probably want to make a reservation first.

My 32GB 4G itouch's lock button AND volume button won't work.

I got my 4G 32GB on Christmas and about two weeks later the lock button and volume button just stopped working. My hands weren't even wet. How do I fix it and how can I restart it without the lock button?

You may need to make a trip to an Apple Store or other authorized place to have it repaired, assuming it's a hardware issue. If it's a software issue, you can try going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will force the iPod to reboot and restore it to factory settings, but you will be able to get your data back from a backup. If it is a hardware issue, then it's time for a trip to the store.

You'll have to get it serviced by Apple, you'll have to pay for the replacement device:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
You can also search for a 3rd party repair company in the Internet.

Sleep button and volume buttons not working

Just got an Ipod Touch(4th Generation) for Christmas. It seemed to have been working fine, Untill the sleep button and the volume buttons stopped working. They came back on after and hour or so, And several times in the past few days this has happened. Yesterday though, They cut off again and haven't worked at all since. Anyone know how I could fix this without sending it in to Apple? Any answers are strongly appreciated

Sounds like a short; however, you can try restoring and updating from within iTunes.

Home button and volume buttons

My home button is not sensitive, but work. The volume button does not work. It has no sound, too. Is that under warranty?

You can put the serial number in here to see if there is still a warranty.
Even if there is a warranty left, if Apple detects that the screen was replaced, they will most likely reject it under warranty.
There are outside services that will repair your phone. Google for one near you. If in the USA, http://www.drcellphone.com/ is pretty good.
