This is an iPod Touch 4G - not one of the old ones.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
what kind of iPod, Amy? does it have a pass code? sometimes you have to unlock it to make it show up in iTunes.
I never had to do that before, though, tiggy. I'm not even sure what you mean by pass code. It's an iPod Touch.
Jessica, to reset an iPod Touch I'd try holding the power and menu buttons down together for an entire minute, once unplugged, once plugged in. If that doesn't work I'd guess you need to get it repaired.
A full minute? Ok, I'll give it a shot.
Okay, I'm really hating the LJ code rollout. I know cannot reply to comments on my own LJ (which has the default scheme on the comment page) in Firefox. Pfeh.
If you're using an S2 journal style, go to Customize Journal Style and toggle "Disable customized comment pages for your journal" to No.
The guy who owns LJ Russia bought LJ to be a proto-FB/Twitter for the Russian people. The features western users have been happily using for a decade are unnecessary and meaningless for the function he intends LJ to have.
Ack. That makes sense. Is this your conjecture or based on actual statements?
the pass code is something you would set up to lock the iPod, Amy. a four digit code. if you haven't set one up though, that's not it.
Ack. I can't load my sister's Touch as a hard drive on Windows seven. It took half an hour to get iTunes to recognize it, but I still can't copy the music off. The laptop it was synced to is dead.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, it was already set to that. Not helping.

There was a quote with links yesterday in the lj releases thread. It's been verified that igrick is head of LJ Russia. It's also been reported that he's been rude and dismissive of western users and their issues.
There have been some fixes implemented, and some ongoing attempts to set things to an approximation of how they worked before, but it's new coding, and not restoration, and nobody knows how far those concessions will go.
I spent some time trying to find the links I followed yesterday, but the comments count on the "release 88" post reached more than 1900 in 30-odd hours, at least three-fourths of it protesting the changes, and I just can't wade through it all for a cite. Sorry!
