My ipod touch just stop working the screen is blue I cannot re-set it but the time is correct and it keeps up-dating

My IPOD Touch just stop working - I was listening to music and it stop. I cannot power it down or re-start it. The time is correct and that is I can see at the top of the screen of the IPOD along with the battery info

Try resetting:
Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

When buying an Ipod Touch,just for music, how do you gauge which capacity machine you need?

When choosing an ipod touch just for music, how do you gauge which capacity you need?

Well, you'll be able to see how much material you already have by looking at the bottom of the iTunes window (eg "2000 songs, 2GB" or whatever). Then you can gauge whether that represents about as much as you expect to have in the near future, with a little headroom, or if you think you will dramatically increase that amount, either through ripping CDs, or by purchasing downloads.
Calculate a 4-minute song in AAC format / 256k as being 10MB. A 128k track would be around 5MB. Most MP3 tracks will generally be a little smaller for the same time length, but better to give yourself more room than you think you'll need.
So for the 8GB iPod - 800 tracks at 256k, or 1600 at 128k.
32GB: 3200 @ 256k or 6400 @ 128k.
64GB: 6400 @ 256k or 13000 @ 128k.
Current tracks from iTunes Store are 256kb/s. Bitrate for tracks you rip yourself are set using iTunes Preferences.
Hope that helps.

My iPod touch screen stopped working, how do i fix it?

My iPod(4th generation) touch screen stopped working. Okay so it was fine earlier, my home button does not work so i have been using the assistive button for months, and until earlier today it got stuck, i tried to power it off but it doesn't let me slide to power it off, and it doesn't let me press anything on the assistive menu either, and i'm currently waiting for my ipod to die but it's taking forever since it's battery lasts forever! is there any other solutions you can give me?
and i was wondering if my ipod has life insurance with apple so if something is wrong with the screen, can i take it for a new one? (my ipod is in very good conditions, not cracked or scratched, just the home button is an issue)
thanks!

My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

Ipod touch has stopped working. the screen showes that it need to connect to power.

Hey there our3goldens,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Did the battery run out of power? If not, try doing a Reset to "reboot" the iPod

(A Reset does NOT erase the iPod.)

My ipod classis just stopped working. It is still under warranty and I need to know where the warranty information is so I can get it fixed or replaced?

If you have tried all of the suggestions mentioned under the appropriate section in this Apple support document, you may need to have your iPod serviced or replaced either by Apple or a third party service.
iPod won't turn on
If the iPod is still under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects, Apple may swap it out for you at no cost if they don't conclude the issue to be the result of abuse or accidental damage. If you have an Apple Store nearby schedule an appointment with them and show them what you are experiencing.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the Mail application will not launch, I would recommend processing any available updates on your Mac Pro and test launching Mail. If the issue persists, process a reinstall of Mavericks.
