My ipod touch just froze and wont come back to life...

Sometimes it freezes during the use of an app, but then i just hold the button on the top left and it goes to the black screen, then the apple icon appears and then its all good. But now it's just black and no matter what I do, it won't change from the black screen. It connects to iTunes, and it charges because you hear that click that happens when it starts to charge but the black screen continues to appear. It's glowing, so it's not dead. What can I do? Should I go to an Apple Store, have them look at it. Should I restore it, and if I do, will it keep all my songs in iTunes?

try holding down both the home button and the hold button. if that doesn't help try to restore the ipod touch. as long as your songs and everything are in the itunes library your songs should be fine.

  • My ipod touch is froze and wont turn off. any ideas?

    My ipod touch is frozen and wont turn off. I need help everything ive tried isnt working!

    Just had this similiar issue with my iPod.  Simple steps found through the Apple Support Website. Follow this link:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320, or follow instructions listed below to reset a frozen iPod nano/classic/color display/click-wheel, etc.:
    1) Toggle the Hold switch on and then off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again)
    2) Press and hold the Menu and center buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds.  This step may need to be repeated. (*sidenote...I also found that the iPod would not respond/reset when it was connected to my computer. It just continued to state that it was connected and needed to be ejected before disconnecting.  I pulled the link cable out of the frozen iPod and followed the above steps and it reset normally.)
    Hope this helps...

  • My ipod touch flashed once and wont turn back on

    I was on the schools wifi getting on youtube and my ipod screen flashed once and then went blank and will not turn on to charge (i had it plugged into the wall and the computer 2 different times for almost 2 hours each and nothing happened), will not turn on when hooked up to the computer when i try to restore it, it will not come on at all for anything
    Is it possiblle the school technichians hacked my ipod while i was on their wifi and disabled it?
    Ive tried holding the home and power buttons at the same time for 10 seconds. (didn't work)
    I tied holding both buttons for 15 seconds and releasing the home button. (didn't work)
    And i tried holding both buttons for 2 minutes. (didn't work either)
    Please throw any ideas at me that you think would work.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4623 my iphone just shut down and wont come back on

    my iphone just shut down and wont come back on what could be the problem

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it my turn ON itself. If still OFF, then keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds time holding both buttons while on charger.

    Plug it into a wall outlet, let it charge for half an hour and then reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

  • My macbook pro won't sleep - if I select sleep it does so initially, then the disc-drive appears to kick in and it comes back to life.  It also won't turn off (again, the disc drive kicks in) unless you hold the power-button down for a long period.

  • IPhone 4S switched itself off and wont come back on. Please help?

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4S has started switching itself off randomly over the last week but would then switch itself back on several minutes later by itself. However, last night it switched itself off and no matter what ive tried it wont come back on. Ive tried the home+power button, connected to itunes and not, connected to itunes with the home button pressed. I rang the Geek Squad as I have insurance and they could suggest anything more. Im loathed to take it back to the shop as all the sales assistant will do is send it off, give me a rubbish temporary phone/brick and it will take ages to come back. I would be grateful if anyone can help please?

    Hi, my phone eventually came back to life of its own accord the next day but with virtually no battery life even though I'd given it a full charge. After it came back on I plugged it in to be recharged but the back became very warm whilst the power drained quicker than usual after I unplugged it.
    I took it to the Apple store later that day and thankfully the phone switched itself off again right in front of one of the Genius assistants. He couldn't diagnose the problem and so gave me a brand new handset straight away. Credit to Apple there and I'm so glad I didn't take it back to the car phone warehouse where I bought it from. They would have sent it away for tests for weeks.
    I've had no problems with my new handset to date.

    Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if it comes back
