The appointment at the Genius Bar is free.

You can also try

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

If necessary:

RecBoot tip

RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

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

- Try another cable

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