My new 30 gig iPod does something similar to his. It repeatedly turns itself on and off, won't be recognised by computer and stays at the apple logo when on (backlight turns on and then off) :/
I'll try draining the battery, but I really don't want to have to take it back?

What can I do about my FaceTime screen turning green and then freezing?

My screen for facetime freezes and then turns green

I (& my brother) have the same issue when facetiming my sister. She's got an iphone 4s (updated to the current iOS) & my brother & I have iphone 4. The call connects, we see her for a couple of seconds, then it goes all blocky & green screens & drops the call. My brother has also tried on his ipad & gets the same issue, only it reboots the ipad (but it doesn't seem to do that with our phones).
Have had a quick look online but haven't found anything.... only a video that someone posted (which shows what I've described above!)

If anyone has any ideas.... I'd be greatful (& so would others I'm guessing)
Cheers
Edit: (also, videos & pictures outside of facetime are fine!)

What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

What would apple do if my ipod touch is broken and is still under warranty?

It depends on how it was broken. Apple are very strict when it comes to enforcing warrantys so unless the damage was a result of a manufacturing error then you have little chance of having your device replaced or serviced without having to pay a fee.
The warranty states that Apple do not cover;
damage resulting from accident - ie. accidentally dropping it
liquid damage
disassembly
unauthorised service - ie. trying to fix the hardware yourself
unauthorised modifications - ie. "jailbreaking"

Help, My iPod just turns on and off...my PC doesn't even get to "see" it.

I just got the 5G 60 Gig iPod. I was charging it for the first time. And of course windows wanted to jump on in. iTunes started up and wanted to transfer music, the unit wanted it's initial setup, but iTunes switched it over to th Do Not Disconnect mode. I got the register your new iPod screens to come up, then music started automatically transfering. Then I got I must reboot my computer screen...I ignored it, figuring it had to finish getting the music transfered. Then about a 1/3 into the music tansfer, I got some kind of could not find error concening the music, then my computer stopped doing anything. I did a restart, no all my iPod does is turn on and off by itself, (from the Apple icon, to back off) and won't stop doing it. I tried resetting the unit, but then it still continues. Connecting and reconnecting the USB cable, restarting the PC etc....Help, what do I do. Frustrated is beyond what I'm feeling right now...I keep thinking what the **** I just spent, for this to be the end result!! Is this unit fried? Or will it get damaged!!! HELP

I had exactly the same issue when connecting my new BLACK 60mb Video iPod to connect to my PC via USB 2.0.
The iPod kept Crashing & Freezing also iTunes become unstable and very slow, it kept saying "unable to write to disk" every 5 minutes and I had to disconnect & re-connect for the same message to show again in 5 mins later, it eventually told me not to disconnect the iPod. However, after 30 mins i just did it.
I then opened iPod updater and re-attached my ipod with USB 1.
This seemed to take an age to recognise (5 mins +) but bear with it. Once it was connected I reinstated to factory settings, once I did this it automatically told me to update my software to 1.1.1.
When I then opened iTunes it again took 5 mins to connect, but it then started to transfer my music, which took over 6 hours to do 22MB.
Having said that I have had no "can not write messages"
Today I have conencted (again taking 5 mins to connect) but it has transfered over 1000 photos in under 4 mins and updated all tunes.
hope this helps,

My ipod just turns on and off when I plug it into my computer instead of syncing and charging. What do I do?

I have updated my itunes, bought a new charger cord and everything. My computer doesn't recognize it, and it just turns on and off. Help?

Use the wall-mount charger that came with the unit and charge it overnight. Do not use a computer USB port. Do not use an iPod/iPhone charger.
Battery technology has come a long way in the past several years. Your battery might be totally discharged but I doubt that it's truly dead. Good luck and please post back with results.
