big problem

[isasquatch]

after jailbreaking my ipod touch i made the mistake of hiding all of my icons, so i thought that restoring the ipod would fix the problem. when i did this it said that it could not restore the ipod, and when i unpluged it the "connect to itunes picture" was stuck on the ipod and now when i plug it back in it says that the ipod cannot be used with itunes until it is restored, but i cannot restore it. im not too good with computers so that might not have made a whole lot of sense. anyone know how i can fix it?

Should have asked - there were ways around the hidden icons problem...

Here's how to force restore from iPod Touch Fan Forums -

*Must have iPod plugged into computer while doing this*

Be patient, the force restore part may take up to 20 seconds.

1. Press and hold the home button and the sleep/wake button. (the power off option will appear, ignore it)
2. When the apple logo appears let go of the sleep/wake button (keep holding the home button.)
3. After a few seconds you should see the connect to iTunes image (you can now let go of the home button.)
4. Open iTunes .
5. iTunes should automatically recognize your iPod once the image comes up, if not unplug your iPod and plug it back in.
6. Restore your iPod by clicking the "Restore" button.

****If iTunes comes up with an error you may want to try a. Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes or b. restoring on a different computer.****
