I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

TS1441 How can I restore an iPod touch if the home button is broken and I don't know the password?

I just bought my iPod Touch (4th Generation 8GB) from my friend and the home button doesn't work. Then, my parents took it away for about 6 months and I just got it back and I forgot my password. Then, I tried to get in too many times and now it says "iPod Disabled Connect to iTunes". Then, when I connect it to iTunes, it says for my to put in my password so it can connect. I've been trying to get back in but haven't found a way to restore it. HELP!!!!!
P.S. It's jailbroken, but the damage isn't due to Cydia. Also, I can't put it into DFU mode since the home button is broken.

Actually, I can give it to someone who fixes jailbroken iPod touch home buttons, but I don't want to pay anything. Also, if you just have something to say to me that will kill me, don't say it at all dude.

I can't recall my passcode to my older iPod touch (after the newer one got stolen) and it's not showing up in iTunes, how can I restore it to clear the passcode?

I can't recall the passcode to my older iPod, iPod touch 2g 8GB, (someone stole my 4g) and it's not showing up in iTunes, is there any other way to do a 'restore' to clear the old passcode and be able to access the iPod? Anyone???

The only way is to restore the iPOd via iTunes. Have you tried:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
P
Have yu tried setting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next wold be to place the iPod in recovery mode to see if iTunes will see it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Please help me!! I needed to reset my iPod touch because my pass code was changed and I didn't know what it was, but now iTunes wont let me restore it what do I do?

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

IPod touch dropped on the ground while charging and now won't charge

Long story short, my wife was charging her iPod touch, one of our kids walked by and knocked the iPod to the ground and yanked the cord that was connected and now the iPod won't charge. If we wiggle the portion of the cord that's attached to the iPod (not the USB connected to the mac) it will make the sound like it is connected and then disconnects. We have found that if we sit the iPod a certain way sometimes it will charge but not 100% of the time. It almost seems like it is losing the connection in the cord but we have tried 3 different cords. Any suggestions on ways to make a tighter connection (think sticking the pencil in the old school Nintendo to keep your game cartridge to connect)?

Worste case, Apple shoud exchange yours for this price:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
This place does not mentions a dock connector replacement but you can call and ask them.

You can Google fo others.
I would first make and appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to verify/determine the cause of the problem.

I have just added a third iPod touch to our family collection of devices and iTunes won't allow me to add any of the apps to it. I can add songs etc but not apps. Any ideas?

My Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today. We have updated, restored etc and now it will not play any music - as in no sound coming from it. It looks as if it is playing, but no sound comes out. It played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

So, here is an update to my original question, in case anyone else has this issue. I spoke with a senior adviser at apple, who had me use the "devmgmt.msc" command in the search line of Windows 7; after expanding the USB controllers menu, she had me uninstall/delete the "apple mobile device driver" and then open "control panel" and "uninstall programs." Once the menu of programs was open, she had me highlight the program "apple mobile device controller", then repair it, and restart the computer. This fixed the issue and the iPod synced.
However, just one day ago, when I plugged in both the iPod, then the iPad (not at the same time), I get the message that "this library has already been synced to another iPod/iPad or other IOS device." It then asked if I wanted to set up as a new device or from restore of previous. That is wher I am right now; I am trying to get the same apple adviser again to discuss the case number. More to follow.
