this is very good that you have found a way to get in but i would like to know how to do it bc i i would love to get the bluetooth working bc i may know how to get it on bc i happen to be friends with someone who works at apple and works in the software department and i could get him to tell me how to turn it on but he told me that i would have to find out how to get in to the diagnostic first so could you tell me how to get in to the diagnostic

Hey systemofthe666, the iPod Touch has no Bluetooth.  So I doubt you have a friend at Apple and I’m pretty sure your whole statement is one huge lie.

Quit making stuff up.  If you are talking about the iPhone, it is in the settings off of the home screen under general.

Hey there… I’ve have the iPod Touch for just over a month now and just did the software upgrade on it about a week ago.

My problem is that today after I did a sync using iTunes, I disconnected my iPod Touch and took off for an appointment…took it out to get into it and it seemed totally dead…

There is no sign of power.  Pushing on the “On/Off” power button on the top left corner won’t give the ‘boot-up’ Apple, nor does the ‘menu’ button bring anything up either.

Is there a way to reset or manually cycle the iPod Touch or put it into a “Diag” mode?  I’m stuck…

actually the ipod touch does have the blue tooth program,just not the hardware.this is because the ipod touch runs on the same mac os operating system as the iphone 1.1.2.
so systemofthe666 is not lying.

The Second Generation iPod Touch has bluetooth hardware. It has the Nike + iPod feature, which uses bluetooth to wirelessley sync to the Nike device.

I think all would be interested in hearing how to get here, even if most of us would never actually do it to get there.  Does that same method work on the iPhone and iPhone 3G and both versions of the Touch?

Yup, want to jump in - any notes on how to push an iPhone into this mode? I have XCode and the whole ball of wax here, but haven’t touched the dev kit since I DLd it (when it was beta) LOL ... and the Cocoa & Objective C manuals sit with backs unbroken on my desk…

Ok, so what is the trick to enter this mode on iPhone?

To the best of our knowledge, no one has ever figured out how to enter this mode on the iPhone or iPod touch with standard inputs. A small number of devices shipped from the factory in this mode for some reason.

Well, bluetooth technology is in the ithouch and will be used for games with the new 3.0 update, u will be able to play with or against other itouches around u through bluetooth, but we have to wait for the 3.0 update.

So is this one of the iPod touches that shipped in diagnostic mode or did you somehow enter diagnostic mode by yourself???
