How do I restore my IPod? I shut down in middle of updating, now it's a BLANK white screen??

iPod 4th gen was manually shut down (holding both buttons down to shut off...) while it was in middle of updating to ios 6, and now every time I turn bk on, it's a blank white screen! Looks like iPod has been wiped out! Please tell me how to fix this? I hooked to Mac, and still blank screen!!!

iPod touch, iOS 5.1.1, I turned off in middle of updating

Like I said in your previous post:

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Thanks for the suggestion, I added in the last message I wrote, that when I hook up to my P.C., it is still a blank screen on the iPod! I'm not good at any of this crap, and don't kno much about it, but when onto the Apple store, I downloaded a new version of iTunes, so that's taking a LONG time, but as iTunes was downloading, I hooked up the iPod, and the screen stayed BLANK! It's not showing that it's hooked to pc. So I am going to go to ur link u gave me, and figure out how to force a shut down, and hopefully restore this thing! I really need to SPEAK to someone so they can talk me through this, but I don't have $30 to spend on apple care (have no warranty left..) , so thanks again
