It should not be necessary to "flash the firmware" in the same way that other devices sometimes need.


Usually, if the iPod is not responding properly, a simple restart can fix it. A more complex issue may require a Restore, which is done by connecting the iPod to your iTunes programme and using the Restore function:



If your iPod is not being seen by iTunes, try this Apple article: If your computer doesn’t recognise your iPhone or iPad – Apple Support (UK). There is a drop-down option menu on that page (labelled Device Type) that allows you to select either Windows PC or a Mac.


If the issue is not covered by my suggestions, post back with more detail about what you are trying to do and what happens when you try it, that doesn't appear to be correct.
