ipod touch won't turn off?

[-SHADE-]

I bought a new ipod touch 5 hours ago. i've just now gotten time to set it up. I put music from my itunes library on it, synced it with facebook and twitter, and downloaded a free phone app from the itunes website. after that, it wouldn't let me go into any of my apps when i click them, and it won't turn off. what do i do? let the battery die?

That would work have you tried holding both the home and lock button (on the top) down together (at the same time) for about ten seconds if not a sure fire way to get it to turn off is to throw it as hard as you can at a brick wall lol worked for me

Either that or activate the touching aid, can't recall actual name. You can access every function of the ipod without pressing any button. You can find it under setting, general, accessibility, i think.

"iPod Only Shows an Apple Logo and Doesn't Start Up" from the Apple Support Site notes that "you may need to restore or update iPod by placing it in Disk Mode if only an Apple logo appears when you turn it on."
