Ipod sucks. Help?

[ganonbanned]

My Ipod Touch won't work. My idiot friend was playing with it, and put it in chinese, and when he was trying to put it back in and pressed a red button, and it reset and took like a half hour to load, and now all it shows is a picture of a USB pointing at an itunes logo. Its stuck on that screen, and I plugged it into my friends laptop and started itunes, and now nothing is happening. what should I do?

Try resetting it.
Hold home and sleep for 10 seconds.

I tried and it didn't work.

And the computer doesn't recognize it?
Just wait and plug it into yours.

Wow. Your friends dumb. Bet you thought he was funny until this, eh? Well, my solution to everything is CRACK IT OPEN. I don't know what the inside's like, but if the HD is corrupted, (I HEAVILY doubt it) and you aren't under warranty, replace it with one from another broken Touch ie it has a broken screen. There are so many kids in my school who sell trashed iPods.

Reflash the firmware? I know creative's music players have a "recovery mode" for just such an occasion. It loads the factory firmware from RAM or something, and lets you connect via USB with basic functions.

Are you some sort of retard? There is no Hard Drive in an iPod Touch.

There is no HDD because there is no HDD.

Take your ipod, hold the home button for 10 seconds, then plug it into a computer with itunes WHILE STILL HOLDING home.

Keep holding it, and it should want to do a restore.

Oh wait... That will wipe it. It will work, but until you get back to your computer to re-sync, none of your stuff.

Who cares? It's a touch. It holds like 15 minutes of music.

Ooooh, and iPod Touch hater.

I hated ipod till the touch. I hated the overpricedness, the limited use, the tiny screen, and most of all, I hated the people who say "I NEEDZ ALL OF MY MUSIX IN the WHOLE WORLD ON IT IMA GET 160GB IPOD!!11".

The iPod touch holds all the music I actually need, about 5 hours worth, and I still have like 10gb left for videos and apps.

Anyway, I love the limited storage. Keeps costs down, is drop resistant, and most importantly, teaches people they need to actually decide what they want to listen to. That is what I like about the SSD netbook revolution, same deal.
