    Hey Guys
    I've been gaming on my ipod touch for a while now and I know the rule to restart your ipod when you install new games. I dont always obey it, but I had just installed Real Racing so I figured I better.
    But once I turned it off, it wont turn back on. I've tried every combination of button mashing to get it to turn on again. I've tried putting it on my BOSE sound system to charge and start it up on there, and I've tried plugging it into my PC to try to start it there.
    When I plug it into the PC it doesnt even register that its plugged in.
    I've had this happen before but it has turned back on after a little while of pressing buttons.
    As I said its a 1st Generation Ipod Touch, I've only had it for a year.
    Do you know how to fix it or is it even fixable? If not, will apple replace it?
    Thanks for the help
    -Josh

    You might need to restore it.

    Plug it into your computer, then hold the Power button for five seconds. Then, while still holding on to the power button, press down the hold button and hold both of them for ten seconds. Then, release the Power button and continue to hold the home button.

    The computer/ iTunes should recognize it by then, if not, try two or three more times.

    Wow sweet guys. Thank you for the help.
    Brazilian Rider, I tried your suggestion first and the computer recognized it. Now I'm restoring.
    Thanks so much.
