should i bring my laptop to the Apple store when i go to the appointment since this is the computer i use to sync my iPod?
ok, i plugged my iPod Touch into my dock radio with speaker and all that. the speakers make like a pulsing sound and the bottom of my iPod got really really hot after about 5 minutes. does this mean anything?
OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got out of the shower and i checked my iPod just now and i unplugged it and it turned on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont know how but it works fine now!!! iTunes is readng it, its charging. im so happy now!!!!
that's great. 
For future references once the device is dfu mode itunes will recognize it as "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode" and then you just have to click restore.

ok, thanks. i think i might take it too apple though just to be safe. so ill see how it is tomorrow. the charging is kinda on and off right now and its getting hot when i charge it for a little
well, my iPod isnt charging again. iTues wont read it wither and the hting that gets me is when i plug it into my dock thing and press the play button it will play my music but it wont charge it. i need to restore it so i can take it to apple, is there a way to restore without using a computer??
ok, my iPod just now turned on. i put it into DFU mode right away and iTunes is now downloading the 2.2.1 firmware so i can restore it!!!!!!!! appointment with Apple tomorrow morning
ok, i put it in DFU mode and restored it so i no longer have a jailbreak. it stopped charging again about an hour ago but its ok. i am ready to go to apple tomorrow. ill keep you updated
lol it just started charging again like 5 minutes ago but its getting hot. hotter than it usually gets when charging
EDIT: it was getting really hot cuz it was in front on my laptop's ventilation fan thing.... which is really hot.... why the hell is my laptop getting so damn hot?!?!
oh, should i bring my laptop to the genius bar tomorrow? this is the computer i use to sync my iPod

hey guys. i went to the Appe store today (im actually there right now waiting for a ride) im setting up my BRAND NEW IPOD TOUCH righ now. they replaces it for free. right now im just standing here setting up my iPod. im so glad i brought my laptop. id be so bored without it. so thats it, they replaced my iPod. yay!!
Mooching Apple's wifi?
hell yeah!! mooching their wifi on my Windows laptop =D lmao!! i should have jailbroken my iPod right there in the store
they gave me a first gen. i asked if they could give me a second gen and i asked how much it would cost to get a second gen replacement but they said they cant do that. they said i could bring my first gen in and id get 10% off a second gen iPod Touch. so that would be 30 bucks off a 16 gig which would be about 27o bucks =/ i can find a better deal on craigslist =P
i also bought that invisibleSHIELD thing from this vendor outsie the Apple store for 25 bucks. i have air bubbles around the edges of my iPod where the black border thing raises higher than the screen. will they go away over time?
Most of the bubbles with the invisible shield will go away eventually. If it starts peeling or having problems, take it back to the vendor and they will give you a new one. They all come with a lifetime warranty.
Any other suggestions
Hi,
I have two touches that have done this . One is out of warranty purchased through MacMall, and the other in warranty purchased through Best Buy.
Besides begging for a replacement, has anyone successfully fixed this problem? I have followed all of the steps you outlined for Austin, and it is hit and miss if it works or not.
thanks
Jane

Ditto. Just stopped charging after 3-4 months. I went to the genius bar and they made me set up an appointment for another day that I was never able to go to with my busy schedule. In a few months I forgot about the problem because I picked up the DroidX... now its 4 months out of warranty and my girlfriend is asking what I did with her gift. Wish there was a solution.
I need help too
I have the 4th gen ipod touch and it won't show up on iTunes, neither would it charge ... Im not sure what to do up to this point! Everytime I plug it into the charger nothing pops up on the battery indicator (the charging logo) ... Please respond back as soon as possible!

Hey guys! I just had the same problem and this is what you do:
1. Change chargers
2. Wait for awhile.
It should start charging after a couple of minutes.
~or~
1. Hold lock button and home button for a few seconds until you see the apple logo. Wait for a few minutes.
2. Charge.
It should work too.
If both don't work, you should go to the apple store an ask what is going on with the battery.
