iPod Touch won't turn on !!

I have an 8 GB iPod Touch and it does not turn on, it was working and it just went off and won't turn on. I tried to connect it to iTunes but it is still the same.

Does anyone know what's wrong and how do you fix it ?

Windows Vista, iOS 4

Had the same problem as everyone else here. After an update ipod touch 4g 4 days old refused to start and couldn't get it to restore on itunes even though it recognised it. In the end I took the wireless router out of the internet connection. Still didn't work. Then tried using the USB port at the back of the tower and hey presto it works. Hope this helps someone out there.

I am having a similar problem my ipod touch 3G it won't turn all the way on. Just the apple logo shows then it turns off. I have tried holding down home and power and still nothing. Oddly enough it works when hooked up to my docking station or my car but won't turn on when I plug it into my computer. I miss my ipod 😟 if anyone has done anything to fix this I would greatly appreciate the help.

I have an Ipod Touch 3G, 8GB and have done everything that has been posted in this and other forums. I've plugged it into the computer/Itunes and nothing. I've charged it on AC with Apple Ipod charger...nothing. I've done the power button/home button thing...nothing. What is the next step...why is this happening? Why doesn't Apple post some kind of solution or info on what should be done. Very disappointing because I've got tons of pics, apps, and songs on it that I don't think that I can ever retrieve. I know that Steve Jobs is now gone...RIP...but there has to be someone in IT that can help us all out!!
