Try the following. Yo may end up erasing the iPod.:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Iphone 5 - I am trying to delete message threads and once I do, I go to text someone else and it won't send. HELP? I just don't want those messages on my phone anymore.

    Iphone 5 - I am trying to delete message threads and once I do, I go to text someone else and it won't send. HELP? I just don't want those messages on my phone anymore. I have tried to restart my phone but when I do, the "deleted" threads show back up on my phone. I use iOS 7.1.

    Hello Makayla,
    It sounds like you're deleted message threads keep coming back after you restart the devie. I recommend starting by quitting all the running apps on your phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it. 
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.

  • Ipad 2 turned off with 18% power left, won't come back on

    Our Ipad 2 turned off last week with 18% power left. To help narrow the solution down, I will try my best to give you the various things we have tried to get it back up. First, Itunes will not show the device unless you put it into DFU mode. It has been put into DFU mode a couple times now to get itunes to recognize the device. It pops up that we have a device in recovery mode and when we go to restore it pops up that an unexpected problem has occured ( 1602). I have tried on a couple different computers ,different ports, and different USB cables with no luck. It will get to verifying restore with apple but then the error pops up. I have tried to uninstall then reinstall itunes both with the cables still attached and unattached. Itunes still won't show the device until you DFU it. I did notice that the apple is supposed to show up on the screen and it does not. Even the router was reset in hopes that this could possibly be the issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • How can I turn off tabbed browsing in Firefox 4.0 running in windows 7? I don't want tabs at all. If it can't be done, how can I go back to a previous version?

    I upgraded to 4.0 and now everything wants to open in a new tab. I don't want tabs at all. How do I turn them off? I have to use IE at work and have no problem turning off tabs there, but I haven't found the way to get rid of tabs in Firefox 4.0.

    That is not standard behavior. You may have installed an extension that causes it.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:

    To whom it may concern:
    I was charging my IPod and I received a message to update it.  Now I can't shut down or turn of my Ipod.  It has the ITunes Icon and the adapter plug on it.  It states I need to restore my IPod, but I could possibly lose all of my data.  I have spent a lot of time and money on itunes and games.  I really don't feel like going throught this again.  I was having problems in December with "The Tribez" game.
    Could someone please tell me what to do to restart my IPod without losing all of my data.

    If iTunes is asking you to enter the iPod then yo have to restore and thus erase the iPod after you place the iPod in recovery mode. Otherwise:

  • I forgot my passcode and I dont want to restore it because I have no back up. Help?

    Hello,
    I recently changed my passcode and i instantly forgot it as i tried to unlock my iphone.
    And I honestly dont want to restore it, because I will lose everything, especially my 3,000 photos and I cant risk that.

    So what can I do?
    Please, I cant lose everything!
    Is there a way to hack it or something like that?
    Like hacking my photos and then restore it?
    All im asking, is there any possible way i can get my stuff back, most importantly my photos.
    Please Help!
    I've heard I can get my iphoned unlocked.
    P.S I have my phone now on, "connect to itunes"
    Thanks

    You've already lost ALL data on your phone. There is nothing to recover.

  • I accidentally dropped macbook air that was in a book bag. The keyboard is working because I can see the light but the screen is black and it won't turn off. How should I fix this? Please Help ME!!

    I accidentally dropped my friend's macbook air that was in a book bag. The keyboard is working because I can see the light but the screen is black and it won't turn off. How should I fix this? Please Help ME!!
    I tried to turn it off and it didn't work... and I held on to the shift key too and it still doesn't work..
    Please help me..

    Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty.  And it seems there is much accidental damage.  Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
    Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
    There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • My iPhone suddenly turned off by itself and it won't turn back on, what to do?

    So I was just texting with my iPhone (with 35% battery life) earlier and when I check my phone again 5 mins later, it completely turned off. So, I tried holding the sleep/lock botton on top + the Home button (for more than 10 sec) and it won't turn on.
    So I tried plugging my iPhone to the wall-adapter charger and it turned on (with a 100% battery life?), but seems like all my settings have been resetted and I was advised to connect with iTunes. Then I unplugged my iPhone and plug it onto my computer to sync. I waited, the apple logo comes up and then it turns off again, logo comes up and turns off again (constantly doing that and it's not going anywhere).
    Did my whole iPhone battery just died or something? I repeated the process and whenever I unplug the phone from the wall-charger, my phone completely turns off. When I plug it with my usb-to-computer, the apple logo comes up and goes. Any one can help?

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

  • My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power

    My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.

    When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector?  That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty.  Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look.  They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

  • I have an ipad mini that won't power on. It was turned off to charge overnight. In the morning it was warm and now won't turn on no matter what I do. I've tried resetting using the power / home button combination and nothing works.

    If you have owned the device, as in purchased from Apple, less than a year then there will be no charge to repair, or most likely, replace the device. If you have had the device more than a year you will be charged an out of warranty cost for replacement ($219 I think) and that is much cheaper than a new device. If you have Applecare+ then you have an additional year of coverage and the replacement will be $49 or $79 depending on when you got the Applecare.

    Check your cable whether it is good. If it is use the wall plug to charge at least half an hour. See how it goes.

  • MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.

    MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.  Battery had 41% just before this happened and green indicator on power cord is showing, so it seems like it's charging.  What should I do?

    The led on the power adapter should be amber if it is charging.  Green just indicates that it is supplying power to the MBP.
