Yo can try the following but I suspect a hardware problem. Maybe bad battery or something else.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Likely that the battery is dead. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for this price:

My ipod touch's imessage is being really slow and half of the time it doesn't work! Even my house wifi works! I tried everything possible. However is there anyway to fix it?

If the iPod is working normally except for the Home button, depressing the Power button will turn it on.
Next connecting to charging source will turn it on.
If connected to a computer and iTunes sees it you can backup the iPod and restore another iOS device from that backup.

IPod Touch 2G wouldn't connect to iTunes, now won't work at all.

After updating my iTunes to iTunes 10 and upgrading to iOS 4, my iTunes wouldn't recognize my iPod. I tried to put it in recovery mode in order to restore it, but whenever I go to restore it, it stops part way through with some random error. So now I have an essentially useless iPod. How can I make this work again?!

I have a 2 g nano and the only way I can get itunes to see it is to connect it to my pc, have iTunes open, and then restart the nano. On the touch you'd do this by pressing your Home & Sleep buttons both for about 10 secs.
Try that or [Unable to update or restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808] and see if it works. You will still need to restore it but maybe it will complete it this way.

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer. For recovery mode see:

Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

My iPod touch is synced to my old Mac and I have a new PC. Now when I plug my iPod into the new computer it will make the connection sound, but will not show up in my iTunes. I do not care to have the content copied over. Any suggestions?

hehe, I was teasing...
I found a web page about the same problem we have: http://ipodtouchtricks.net/ipod-touch-tutorials/application-opens-and-closes-qui ckly-problem-on-ipod-touch/
"First: You must try is a reboot or restarting your iPod Touch( iPod Touch 2G jailbreakers have to follow the boot process again). Restarting your iPod refreshes the memory of iPod Touch and chances are that your applications will be running fine after a restart. It is also recommended that you should restart your iPod Touch once in a week.
Second: The app doesn’t meant for your iPod Touch
Third : The app isn’t available in your country and you might be using .ipa files for installation, if you have this problem with .ipa files then try another version or latest version of the app and it might work.
Fourth: Use applications that frees memory, i recommend a restart though.
Most of the time, a simple restart solves the closing app problem.
Let me know your valuable thoughts, have you ever faced this problem
dont know if those helps...
