Hold power and home to restart it (You might have to hold it for like 30 seconds)  Hold the Home button down as soon as, and for as long as you see the little silver apple. 
After about two minutes if it' still there release, and it'll enter recovery mode, and from there just plug it back in to the computer. You might have to repeat the process about 2 or 3 times, especially if it's jailbroken.  
Also, try holding down the home button while plugging it into the computer. It'll try to bring the ipod into recovery mode as well.

If your iPod touch is Jailbroken, well what can you expect. That sort of stuff happens. But you might want to try it on a differnt computer or buy a new cable.

Do i have to have internet so my computer can read my ipod touch

No, all you need is the USB cable that comes along when you bought your iPod touch and also, you must have iTunes installed in your computer. And if you have passcode lock turned on, make sure to unlock your device first so iTunes can recognize it.

ITouch stuck and unrecognizable

Sounds like a long shot but it's the only solution I've been able to track down for the oxe8000035 error - try a different iPod USB cable.

Otherwise, it's a trip to the Apple store.

Good luck.

On the ipod touch the itunes icon comes out and is a usb cable with an arow pointing to the itunes icon

make sure you're USB is unplugged. when you're at the screen with the itunes symbol and the usb arrow, hold down the home and sleep button until the screen goes black, at this point, keep holding for another 10 seconds. at this point your screen should look black as if the ipod is off. connect to the computer and itunes shoulds show a message like "itunes has just discovered an ipod in recovery mode" you'll be able to do a restore and regain use of your touch.
if this does not work, message me back.
