But I don't read much detail here about the exact model and more. It could be a failed iPod but since I can't see the machine I'll part with one last bit of advice. Don't expect it to be repaired. I've learned to use the flat rate exchange service.

What do I do when my ipod touch says connect to itunes?I was using my ipod touch and it shut off due to lack of power. Then I went to charge it, it kept saying connect to itunes. Then I go to itunes to restore it making it to originally factory settings I don't care if I loose date I just want it to work again. So when I do that it did a 10 hour update. Whenever it says its going to restore a error "3914" occurs. If I try another computer it does another long update its frustrating. Any ideas whats wrong with it?
