IPod Touch 5th Gen will not Charge or Power On.

I got my iPod at Christmas and it's worked fine ever since. I don't much use it, but recently I let the battery die. When I go to charge my iPod, the Low Battery Symbol will show up, then vanish. If I hit the "Sleep" button, it will pop up again. My ipod does not indicate that it's charging, nor does my computer recognize the device. I assumed it was just a bad cable, but since then I've tried 2 other lightning Cables and neither has worked.
I use my iPod mostly to capture video, and I would like to keep my videos, but without a charge, I can't even transfer my files to my computer.

Not Charge
- See:      
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My ipod touch 5th gen will not charge when connected to pc. works when plugged into wall

    I just got my 5th gen ipod today, and when i plug it into my pc (and my roommate's) they make the sound as if something is connected, but my ipod does not charge. When I plug it into my wall charger, it works fine. I've tried multiple cables, and multiple PCs, but it makes no difference. The weirdest thing though, is when I restart my computer, when it is about to close windows, it starts charging for a few seconds, then turns back off. This is so confusing. Any ideas?

    Sounds like the computer's USB ports do not provide enough current to charge the iPod when the screen is on. I would connect a partially discharged iPod to the computer for a couple of hours and see it it is charged.

  • Ipod touch 5th gen will not play songs correctly

    So I got a new ipod touch 5th gen for christmas.  When I put songs into a playlist and play them they dont always play in the correct order, or sometimes they dont play at all.  I had no problems with it the first week I had it but then all of a sudden it didnt play the music correctly.  It will skip one song and then play another song a second time in place of it.   Then sometimes it will randomly skip the last bit of a song and go to a different one but when I go in and look at the songs being played it says its still playing the song that it decided to skip.  It also will play the songs in a different order than what I put them in along with the previous problems listed ocurring.  Please let me know if theres anything I can do to fix this or if I should send it in to apple or maybe even take it back and exchange it for a different one.  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!!!

  • Ipod touch 5th gen will not turn on- home button stopped working months ago

    Hi,
    So I have a ipod touch 5th gen and it suddenly turned off and will not turn on.
    Okay, I just want to say first I know the answer would be to hold the top button and the home button at the same time until it turns on.
    The thing is, my centre home button stopped workings months ago so I was using the assistive touch.
    What happened:
    I was using my ipod and the battery was almost full. When I tried to use it 10 minutes later it was turned off and I can't turn it on. I tried plugging it on my computer and it will not recognize it.I also tried holding only the power button on top for a while but nothing happened.
    Any ideas?

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen will not restore

    I have a brand new IPod Touch 5th Gen and I Tunes will not let me restore.  Am in an endless state of Recovery Mode.  I have the latest version of ITunes installed and the IPod Touch worked perfectly for two weeks after I got it.  Now when I try turning it on, all I see is a black screen and USB cord leading to the ITunes symbol.  I checked in Diagnostics and it says no IPod is detected, yet my IPod shows below Devices in ITunes.  I have tried 20 or so suggestions to fix the problem and nothing works, including holding down Sleep button (turn on) and Home button for many minutes.  Is there any way I can get ITunes to recognize my new IPod in the proper way?  Restoring process in ITunes just does not work.  Thank you.     I believe this Touch has the iOS 6.0.1.

    Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then try restoring.

  • IPod touch (5th Gen) will not work in my 2013 GMC when connected via USB since I upgraded to iOS 8.2

    I recently updated my iPod touch 5th Gen to iOS 8.2.  I use it to play music in my 2013 GMC via USB connection.  Now, when my vehicle's system "detects" my device, it starts playing the song and after about two seconds it just quits.  Help, please.

    Sometimes this works but sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility, Fir the latter you have to wait for an update to the iOS or the firmware for the car system

  • My iPod touch, fourth gen, will not charge or be recognized by computer.

    My iPod touch, fourth gen, wont charge or be recognized by my computer. This computer has worked with my iPod before and the wall charger also works. But when i plugged it into the wall charger it didn't work. I tried a different cable and tried my computer as well. Although, when i turned it off and then plugged it in while in its off state, it turned on, but didn't show that it was charging by showing the little lightening bolt. Please help, i do not have a phone and this is what i used to contact my close family and friends.
