New iPod seems stuck during 2.2 upgrade

Got a new iPod Touch for Christmas. Clicked to download the 2.2 upgrade and it never made it past "Verifying iPod software..." I have connected and disconnected it several times. Now the iPod screens shows a CD with a musical note on top of it and the connector with an arrow no matter what I do. Any ideas on how to get it to finish the upgrade? It doesn't respond to turning it off and on.

Your site is a 'Antianxiety'

Hi, i thought that was the end. My phone just got frozen and will not respond to my PIN and even switch off button. When i held the switch and 'Home' button together, it snaped a blank page and remain on screen. I tried everything but could not UNTIL i came across your site and followed your directions. After about 12 secs, i saw the 'apple logo' and i breathed a sigh of relief.

Thanks very much.

iPod Freezing

I got rid of my iPhone’s freezing problem following your instructions. But I encountered the same problem just the other day. Is there anything else that I could do? I am afraid the method you provided in this post, albeit effective, just offers a temporary fix. I would appreciate it if you could post something that would permanently solve the problem. Thanks!
