My ipod touch fifth generation wont turn on after the battery died and my home button is broken

i fell asleep with my ipod touch fifth generation on and when i woke up the battery had died but i tried turning it on and connecting it to the computer but nothings working

Hi stephkayy223,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod touch battery has been completely consumed, you may need to connect it to power for several minutes before you will see the charging screen:
If you see this screen, it means your battery is really low. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes before using it. After that, you can use your device while it continues to charge.
If your device has turned off, you might see a black screen for a few minutes even after you plug it in. Let it charge until it turns on, or until it's fully charged.

Charge your iPhone and iPod touch
If your iPod touch still does not seem to be charging, the steps in this article can help troubleshoot the device:
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • What does it mean when my iPod Touch 2nd Generation wont turn on after factory reset?

    My iPod started having quirks and not playing my music.  Well it would say it was playing but it displayed the now playing as if it was plugged into a USB system on a car. So I factory reset it and now it only displays the apple logo and won't do anything else.

    Thats the same with me but mines a 4th gen. I reset to factory settings and it stays on the apple logo with a gray lined circle on it. Plz help! I should be taking it into apple within the next few days and hopefully that will help.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation wont turn on

    Ok my Ipod 4th generation wont turn on at all ive tried holding the buttons connecting it to Itunes (which by the way says nothings connected) and nothing is happening at all. My battery was halfway charged and after I put my ipod to sleep it wouldnt turn on anymore. Can anybody help me please?

    Try putting it in DFU mode. Here is how to put it in dfu mode:
    1. First, Open up iTunes, plug in your iPod Touch/iPhone to the CPU's USB port. Turn on your CPU's speaker and make sure it is loud enough that you can hear it.
    2. Hold down the Home button (top left for iPod Touch and top right for the iPhone with the screen facing you) and the Power button (located on the front bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone) simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off. (past the red slider/slide to power off screen)
    3. Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
    4. After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device, now iTunes should recognize it in DFU mode.
    5. After iTunes recognizes the iPod Touch/iPhone, let go of the Home button otherwise it will go into recovery mode and you will have to do the entire DFU process over again.
    6. You will know when you have put your iPod Touch/iPhone correctly into DFU mode when the display is blank and that you do not have anything on your device.
    And you are done, now you can install any iPod Touch/iPhone firmware on to your device via the iTunes SHIFT recovery method.

  • IPod Touch 2nd Generation wont turn on or be recognized by iTunes.

    The other night i was using my iPod touch and it was working fine and then i put it to sleep for the night and i woke up and tried to wake up my ipod and the screen displayed the plug into iTunes thing and the screen was flickering lighter and darker. I went to plug it into my computer and my computer didnt recognize it and neither did iTunes. I tried turning it off and back on but after i turned it off it didn't turn back on. I tried putting it into recovery mode and any other mode I could find that was supposed to fix it and it didn't work. I also tried charging it with no effect. So now my iPod wont turn on and when i plug it into the computer it tells me that the USB Device is not recognized. I followed the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    which told me to update the driver for the unknown device. I followed those instructions and i went to install driver from disk and have disk and put in the location it told me to select and the driver it told me to select and after i did that the computer told me that the driver update didn't go with the driver i was updating. So that didn't worked and after hours of much frustration im here. The liquid identifier thing has not been triggered and i no longer have a warranty on my Ipod so if anyone can help it'd greatly appreciate it!

    Anyone?

    how can i fix this problem

    - 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.
    - 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:

    My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all,
    i upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and after that my ipod started having trouble charging, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning cable chargers and my ipod still would'nt charge, so it died. now the only thing my ipod does is when i try to turn it on it shows the apple logo and then the screen goes off and does it again for a few times and then the screen stays off and my ipod gets really hot but wont turn on for the rest of the day help!!

  • My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music

    My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.

    I have same issue with iPad3.  all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes.  maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
    mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn.  I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
    I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
    I have restarted.
    I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back!  iCloud restore was perfect.  I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
    please advise.
    thanks,
    phil
