I'd try pitching again, this time with an active starter. I've done
similar things, and had the batch start by itself after 2 weeks. The
potassium sorbate does seem to 'age out', as eventually preserved
cider will ferment. I've heard that it will keep a ferment from starting
but that it won't stop one that is already going.

Eric,
Don't be so cheap and throw out your cider.:) You mentioned that this was on
ly a 1 gallon batch. It wouldn't be
worth all the trouble of yeast starters , etc. It may ferment,and still taste li
ke crap. Cider's cheap, buy another
gallon at an orchard and save yourself some trouble!!
