my ipod touch 8 gb won't start up. when I turn it on, it just displays the apple logo forever. anybody know how to fix this, or at least make it connect to the computer so that I can try a restore? can use windows or mac.

Try holding both buttons while it is stuck booting and see if it will reset for you. If not, I would call apple or try to bring it back where you got and and get an exchange.

You could always try restoring your iPod to factory settings:

1) Press and hold both the Home button adn the Power button for a couple of seconds. It should reboot and show the Apple logo. Do not let go.

2) When the logo comes up, release the Power button. You should only be pressing the Home button now.

3) After one or two seconds, the original image that was presented on the iPod when you turned it on for the first time will show up: the iTunes logo with a sync cable underneath it.

4) Connect the iPod to iTunes. It will ask you to restore the iPod. Say yes and begin the whopping 150MB download for the iPod restore app.

5) Wait a couple of minutes until it does it's thing, then rejoice.

PS: I suggest you get yourself a drink and a snack while it downloads and while it installs.

Good luck!
