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?

Try:                                               
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

  • 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.

  • My iPod Touch 5th generation is faulty, first the home button stopped working and now it's died completely, won't charge but I can feel the screen is heated. What is going on with this thing?

    I bought this iPod mid-March, I've only had it for a little less than 5 months.  I bought it at Best Buy, I don't know if that matters or anything- I have a geek squad and apple warranty.  I'm only nineteen years old and this was my first real big purchase and I'm very disappointed.  I've had other iPods before and never had any issues with them, my last one lasted from 2008 - 2013.  I take very good care of my iPod Touch, never dropped it or anything of the sort and I keep it in a thick case.  This iPod worked fine up until recently.  First the home button became unresponsive, I had to activate the assistive touch because I use this iPod for school work.  I was about to take my iPod into Best Buy so they could take a look at it and see if there was anything they could do before I contacted apple, but now my iPod is completely dead.  It won't respond at all. I had to disconnect the charger because the iPod screen was getting hot and it wasn't charging.  It's been disconnected for a few hours and the screen still feels hot. I'm really concerned, especially with recent news reports of handheld devices overheating and burning people or even exploding.  Will the apple warranty cover this so I can get a new iPod?  What are my options?

    If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.

  • My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

    Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

    Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

  • What do you do when your iPod touch 5th generation will not turn on, and it isn't in recovery mode?

    Today, my iPod touch 5th gen wasn't turning on, but during school earlier today it was working just fine. When I got on the bus, it wouldn't turn on? I got home and I plugged it into the charger and tried to see if it would turn on that way, nope. Also, there would be no way for it to be in recovery mode, because of the fact that the home button is pushed in and wont work. I've had my iPod for 2 years, is it just old and decided to give out?

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen. will not turn on!

    My iPod touch 4th Generation will not turn on. I've only had it since September and have barely used it. I plug it into my computer and it doesn't charge, it doesn't turn on even with a low battery symbol... my computer doesn't even recognize it as being plugged in. When I plug a 3rd generation in, it charges and is recognized by my computer, so I am almost 100% sure it's not a problem with my computer.
    I've tried holding down both the home key and the power key at the same time and nothing happens...
    Help please!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    does it charge using the adapter? If yes, charge it for at least 10min, then connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Ipod Touch 5th Generation will not turn on, restore, or show up in itunes unless in DFU mode.

    So a friend gave me his Ipod Touch 5th gen because he couldn't fix it himself and he bought a new one, and while I'm stoked to have a near brand-new Ipod touch, it's also frustrating me to the point I'm ready to give up on it aswell and pass it down the line. I'm not sure what he did to it, he says it just stopped working but you never know.
    Anyways, the problem is that it simply does not turn on regardless of what I do to it. When I plug it into the computer, it gets warm; usually a sign it's charging fine. However, it doesn't show up on Itunes. I read some forum posts and searched around other places aswell, and tried putting it into DFU/Recovery(not sure which is which anymore, it's the one where you hold down the power button for 3 seconds, then home+power for 10, then home button for 20). It showed up on Itunes, and said it needed to restore. I downloaded the 1.2gb update it needed, but then it hung at the "Waiting for Ipod" progress bar. As it does this, I get maybe 3-5 Windows 'bing' sounds of a connecting/disconnecting device, ending on a disconnect sound. Itunes eventually times out the restore with an error code 4005, which I read means the Ipod has been disconnected in the middle.
    After this, it doesn't show up on Itunes and I have to repeat the process to get it to show up again. I tried it a third time just now and it's still doing the same thing.
    Any ideas? Really at the end of the line on ideas I think.
    Please and thanks,
    -Cody
    P.S. I don't know if it matters but the warmth is coming from the top/camera end fo the Ipod. Not sure where the battery is versus the CPU, but maybe that'll help the diagnosis.
    P.S.S. Also, when it shows up in Itunes in recovery mode, it doesn't show a serial number, so I don't think an Apple store would even work on it without a serial #.

    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Try on another computer.

  • 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 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.
