Unresponsive Ipod touch

Hello, I am new here. Anyways I received a fairly new Ipod touch. I know it's in good use because I live with the person who owned it. It was bought at March this year, so its only about 8 months old. And it's hardly been used at all. When I received the iTouch, I did as I would do with any new mobile device, I synced it up with the computer (The original computer used to sync it) and updated it just yesterday (after updating iTunes to the newest version) to the most up to date version available. I'm pretty sure its a 2 gen iPod, and an 8gig. Not only did I update, it but I also restored it to original settings, so it's as if it was new and deleted everything using the option from iTunes when you sync it. Anyways, the itouch worked fine for a while after it was updated, about 15 minutes, and then it unexpectedly shut off. Its completely unresponsive to anything. When I do plug it in to the computer though, the bottom corners feel warm, it's just not turning on/showing charging icon/syncing. The computer doesn't recognize it and iTunes doesn't launch like it should when I connect it. I'm quite suprised that it is about 99% unresponsive to anything I do. The warmness at the bottom is the only indication that it is connected at all. Any Ideas?

I am curious as to what happened and how much it costs to fix it. Mine is doing the same thing (32 GB 3rd gen) It was working fine one day then just shut off. I am very careful with mine and am upset that just after the 1 year purchase mark it decides to die randomly (or so it seems). Please let me know.

White/Black unresponsive iPod Touch

Despite just locking my iPod Touch for 10 minutes, the screen when I returned would not worked. I tried the Sleep/Home many times - still the black unresponsive screen. Then I tried to connect it to my computer - nothing. Then I tried while holding down the Home button. Luckily, my iTunes then recognised it. However, when I was told to Restore, which I did, the screen went white and the error message 21 occurred. When the screen is white and I try and turn it on or Sleep/Home, the screen either stays white or goes unresponsive black. Any suggestions?

Have you tried deleting and redownload the Apps from the App store?
You'll not be charged for any purchased Apps again.

Totally unresponsive ipod touch 4th gen

whilst i was browsing facebook on my 4th gen 32gb ipod touch, the facebook app froze up. it seemed quite normal for me, but after a few minuntes, the screen changed - it displays thousands of multicouloured stripes running vertically on the screen now. it is totally unresponsive and will not turn on or off. connecting it to power does nothing. i have not tried syncing it to itunes yet, but i don't think it would do anything either...
i am convinced i will need to take my ipod to the apple store for help, repair or replacement....
any ideas/comments?
cheers

Thanks for the help Ingo2711,
I think the situation just resolved itself. I checked on the ipod to see if i could try your ideas, but the screen had gone black and the power was off. I held the power button, and the screen displayed the 'charge' button. It seems fine now. The thing must've run out of power when it was frozen, and gone back to normal.
Cheers mate

Totally unresponsive iPod Touch 4g

Correcting my earlier post . . . . . .
Hi, Can anyone help. Updating my iPod via iTunes failed and now shows a permanently lit screen with a white apple logo above what appears to be an empty download bar indicator.
Neither iTunes or my PC will recognize or detect it when connected to the USB port.
All iPod buttons are non-responsive, including diagnostics mode or reset (Menu+Sleep buttons). Cannot switch the iPod off.
Any ideas/suggestions?

- See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next disconnect from everthing and let the battery fully drain. The charge and try again.

Ipod touch frozen, won't charge or connect with itunes

My ipod touch is 8 months old and is frozen. It just has the battery charge icon on display, have tried to restart holding the sleep / wake button and the start button but I still only get this icon. It won't charge when attached to my computer using the usb lead and it will not link to itunes. I have some photos on it which I do not want to lose. What can I do?

Could be a Battery problem... If so you will need to take it in to the Apple Store or AASP...

Hi msclaude,
Welcome to the Support Communities! I'm not sure from your post what steps you have tried, but it sounds like you may need to use recovery mode to address the issue with your unresponsive iPod touch.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.
Use recovery mode
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.Get more help
Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
I hope this information helps ....

IPod Touch won't respond to anything

I have an iPod (1G, 16GB) that's just slightly over a year old, and the other day it stopped working for no apparent reason. I can't get any response from it - I've tried forcing it on by plugging it in to my computer, I've tried putting it in DFU mode; I can't try to put it in recovery mode since iTunes won't register it. Nothing happens. It won't turn on, it's just stuck on a black screen. The only indication that something was wrong, was that a few hours prior to when it wouldn't start up, the music I was listening to would randomly pause after a few seconds. I've had problems where I wasn't able to turn the iPod on before ever since I've gotten it (maybe 2 or 3 times, once just about a month after I'd gotten it), but I never thought much of it since I was able to force it on by plugging it in to my computer. I've read that it could be hardware failure. Is there any way to fix this, or is it lost forever? Thanks.
