IPod Touch 5th Gen will connect to computer and display in iTunes, but will not turn on

I've had my iPod touch 5th gen in a Lifeproof case and was taking some pictures, and lo and behold, the case seal leaked. I got water inside my case and immediately turned my iPod off and placed it in rice. After two weeks of drying in rice in a warm environment, I removed it and decided to try it out again. Much to my chagrin, my iPod would not turn on and could not be placed in recovery mode; I've tried to place it in both recovery and DFU mode, if only for some response, but nothing. It displays no screen image, no error message, nothing. It shows up in iTunes just as normal, with the name, and I can even view the sync menus for the device. However, I cannot access any pictures (my iPod has a passcode that must be entered first, and to enter the passcode I would have to turn the device on, which is so far impossible).
PLEASE HELP. Lifeproof will replace my case but not my device, and I have several weeks of photos, lots of music, and unsynced apps. (I know I should have backed up more recently, but life gets busy and I wasn't anticipating such a problem).  

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. It could be that the water corroded the contacts so try to clean any corrosion from them.
- Then charge overnight and try what you did before
If still does not work:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs.. They do not fix yours.

You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:

or send it in to Apple. See:

  • My ipod touch 5th gen wont connect to updated itunes but is recognized on my computer, help!

    Just brought a new ipod touch 5th gen, and when i connect it with my cable on my windows 8 hp laptop it will recognise it on my laptop in my computer but it won't connect with itunes. I have the latest version of itunes, and have tried reinstalling it three times, along with following the apple help sections but nothing has worked. It connects on other mac, and pc's itunes however and believe it is a problem with windows 8. Anyone having this problem or know how to help? thanks

    If you mean playing music from your computer's speakers that that work if you computer can act as a bluetooth receiver (like BT speakers and headphones) since the iPod can transmit music using the A2DP BT profile.
    On the iPod go to Settings>General>Reset> Reset Network Settings and try again. You will also have to rejoin all wifi networks

    Playing gangstar vegas on an ipod touch 5th gen always lagging and the graphics are not smooth sometimes the ipod is too like when typing it will show the letter a second after i touched it,i will not purchase other apps if this continues will this problem be covered by the warranty

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.
    Next as necessary:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • After updating to iOS 7, iPod touch 5th gen randomly partially blue screened and then restarted.

    I was using my iPod touch 5th generation to listen to a podcast through the podcast app and searching the ebay app for some stuff and three quarters of the screen turned blue and part of the top of the blue part showed alternating colours of between what was on the screen and blue. Then my iPod restarted (and took a long time at that) and then it was just as if my iPod had restarted. Please help. This is first and only time that this has happened and nothing else was open on my iPod.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen shut down by itself, and will not turn back on?

    I was just on the YouTube app when suddenly my iPod shut itself down, and the battery was well over 50%.
    It will not turn back on, and when I plug it into the charger, nothing changes. Any suggestions?

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

  • Ipod touch 4g won't connect to computer and itunes

    if i connect my ipod touch to my computer, my computer doesn't say i connect my ipod. it doesn't sync.
    please help

    Are you using the same USB cable that came with the ipod? Try to use another USB cable in case you didn't do that before. Did you check the docking port for any kond of debris or lint?
    If this does not help, you'll have to get it serviced: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

  • IPod touch 5th gen. Home button stuck and power button not working! Please help!

    I have an iPod 5th Generation and the home button is jammed down! It felt sticky earlier but now it's stuck down. I used it when the home button wasn't working and had to use my notifications to change from app to app (as I didn't know about assistive touch). I turned it off, but now the power button is no longer responsive! The button isn't stuck, but it doesn't work anymore. It was working fine before, but now it won't respond. Please help!
