[reddog694uk]

I purchased a dedicated itouch charger and cured all my probs after returning it twice and dicovering that usb cables didn't charge it at all !! Mine was stuck in recovery mode too.

[Nottotv]

press the circle button 1 time the square button 5 times and the power button thrice and it will come on.

plug it into a docking station for a day ad it should work. a computer is the lowest charge to charge you can charge a ipod with and a docking station is the fasts and bes t way to charge ur ipods.

[300johnoblivion]

my ipod touch is fucked up and it wont turn the fuck on and apple can go fuck themselves cuz there is no water damage and no collateral damage at all it is just fucking defective

[littletrika]

it is jailbroken isn't it

[mraznpaswazn]

just hold the power and home button for 10 seconds at the same time, and it will restart itself. Simple as that. All your apps and media will still be there.

[thecomentguy]

[Seedly23]

[DaBub0wnz]

i had mine for a year and it broke, i got my replacement yesturday

[CantSpeallRite]

I had mine for about a year then it got stolen, ,, didn't quite work just right after that.. .

[V13TXNAM]

You probably figure out the solution already but for ppl who dont, just connect it to your computer and hold the top and middle button until your ipod touch turns on :]

[TheBlueUmbreon]

its probably hung.

[charliegaze]

How long did you have it for? I bought mine 7 months ago and it's still going.

[BillieJeanWontBeatIt]

i got mine almost exactly a year ag and abut 2/3 days ago it suddenly stopped working, for a few days i could just hold down the home screen and power button together and it would restart but after about 10 /20 mins it would just turn off and i coulnt do anything to turn it on again...

[charliegaze]

well, mines got a small scratch on the front, but it doesn't matter. if it was worse i would contact apple, and i'd ask them to replace the screen.

[hovikb1]

First put it into dfu mode by holding power for 3 sec. then home and power for ten sec. dont let go then let go of power and hold home for ten sec this should make it nonresponsive then connect to itunes and restoe it or u may have dead pixels

[mirely1994]

Mine froze while i was using it on facebook and now whenever i try to use an application that uses the keybord function it kicks me back to the springboard whenever i try to type anything. Its been like this for a few months now and its annoying cause it prevents me from using notebook, updating my apps (cause i need to type in my p word) and going on the internet. Any ideas that doesn't result in having to restore my ipod touch would greatly be appreciated thanks
