My ipod touch 4th generation will not turn on
I was using it for like 5 minutes and I put it away in the side compartment of my backpack and when I went to use it like two hours later it would not turn on, the low battery image did come up and even when I plugged it into my ipod dock it still did not come on, now I have it plugged into my computer and still nothing. I bought it when it first came out about october or november I think. I guess my question is will the replace it because I didn't do anything to cause this to happen.
Well there is one thing you can try... hold down the home button and lock/sleep button at the same time and don't forget to hold it. It should turn on. (By the way what you are doing is a restart, if you were on your iPod Touch on the home screen and you did thins it would reboot, and that is exactly why you are doing this)

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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 -

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.

Ipod touch 4th generation will not restore
My ipod touch 4th generation will not restore. It begain with a random problem with the device. I tried to open a application but the application would blink a few times then would not open. This was so for ALL of the applications. I then powered of my device to try and reboot it. The Apple logo will apear for about 5 seconds but then the sreen will go black and the Apple logo will apear again. I tried to reboot several times and it did not work. I then connected my device to my computer but it would not appear in Itunes. The only way for the device to appear was for me to put it into DFU mode by holding down the home and power button for 10 seconds. My Itouch would have the connect to Itunes on it. It was then reconized by Itunes. Itunes message appeared telling me that i need to restore my Ipod. I tried restoring the Ipod, but after the update downloaded a error would appear while it was going through the restoration proccess.
My Ipod is under the one year warrenty and i also had purchased an extended two year warrenty for my Ipod. I do not know what i should do.ok i will my friend has my ipod right now but If it doesn't still work ill get the error number tomorrow.

I need some help. I want to sync my iPod touch 4th generation and it WILL NOT sync. I reinstalled iTunes and it still won't sync. I also let my friend use my sync cord, could that have anything to do with my problem?? I really need some help. So please answer me back if you know what could be wrong.
Could be the cable. Have you tried:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X -
Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it. I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.
-TylerNever mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

IPod shuffle 4th generation will not turn on?!?!
My iPod shuffle 4th generation flashes red for 3 seconds when connected to the USB charger but will not turn on, charge or connect to the computer. This means i can not go through the basic trouble shooting reset steps. I tried turning it off waiting 10 seconds and turning it on. I made sure the buttons were no diabled. I updated my iTunes and updated all software on my computer and restarted it. I also made sure the USB port works by putting something else in- it works. I am running out of options given on the apple website!!! WHAT DO I DO?
Hello StefiPod,
It sounds like your iPod is not charging, and you have already restarted your computer as well as updated your iTunes application and the issue persists. You have also verified that the USB port works for other devices.
I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iPod shuffle troubleshooting and service FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1412
Your iPod shuffle may need to be reset. See this article for steps to reset iPod shuffle. Resetting does not affect your music or data files.
If a red light is blinking or continuously on, your iPod battery may not be charged. You can find information on charging iPod shuffle here. To find out how to check the battery life, see the article "Checking the charge." To get the most out of your battery, be sure to check out our battery tips and tricks article.
If none of these steps worked, you may need to restore your iPod shuffle software. Please be aware that doing so will delete all your files on iPod shuffle.
If the issue persists, then your iPod may need service. Follow the section toward the bottom labeled:
Get Service
If you've tried all the appropriate troubleshooting steps above and those found on the iPod shuffle Support page, and have determined that your iPod shuffle needs service, you can request service online.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
