  • HELP!! Ipod touch will not charge or turn on

    My ipod touch will not charge or turn on. I think the battery went dead, but now it won't even turn on or charge. My computer does not even recognize that it is plugged in. I have tried to charge it on other devices and get the same result. Can anyone help?

    TRY GEORGE GUERRERO'S ANSWER FIRST.
    Plug it into the computer for about 15 minutes.
    If it starts to turn on after about 15 minutes then unplug it.
    As it is turning on hold down BOTH THE POWER AND THE HOME BUTTON on the itouch for 15 seconds, or until it flashes white or just turns back off.
    Then RELESE THE POWER BUTTON BUT STILL HOLD DOWN THE HOME BUTTON.
    Then plug it back in.
    The computer should reconise your ipod.

  • My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?

    My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?
    When i plug it in to my compuer it shows an empty battery with the charge symbol then after a while it shows the apple logo like it is turning on then nothing happens and it goes back to the battery.

    I haven't left it overnight to charge. Is there a difference between letting it charge overnight and an hour or two with no results? The ipod does not even recognize that the cord is attatched.
    I left it on my dresser in my bedroom.

  • Ipod Touch will not charge or connect to Itune, keeps reverting to apple logo?

    My Ipod Touch will not charge or connect to Itunes/computer
    Ipod switchs on charge logo appears then switchs to apple logo

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then showing the apple logo?

    My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo.  I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in.  It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off?  Any other suggestions?

    I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
    I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.

  • My iPod touch is not charging. HELP?!

    My iPod Touch is not charging or starting at all. i've tried all the USB ports I own, my docking station, i've tried resetting it, but nothing's seeming to work. I got this last year as a replacement for my other and this is the first problem i've had with it... I think it's 2nd gen. The empty/charging battery icon comes on every time I press a button when it's plugged in, but nothing else happens, it's been like this for 5 days now. Does anyone have any idea's how to make it charge? It's also not showing on my iTunes at all either. Can anyone help?!?!

    I was a bit miffed to learn that my new iPod Touch does not support recharging via firewire-type connections. Indeed, I didn't even realise that there was any difference between the dock connector I use via USB with my computer and the dock connector connected to my car's audio system. But there is a difference, and I can no longer rely on my iPod to keep me entertained for long car trips.
    The solution I've found is not cheap, but works. You need to get a third-party charge converter. I ordered mine from the people who invented it, in Sweden: http://www.ridax.se. I also understand that they will soon be available from CableJive (http://cablejive.com/charge_converter.html) in the States.

  • IPod Touch will Not Charge/Connect to Computer

    So, my iPod Touch 4G running ios 5.1.1 will not charge/connect to iTunes on my computer. It charges everywhere else but not on my computer. I even tried another charger. My computer says all my devices are up to date. But I can't find the 'Apple Driver' someone told me to look for! I have looked at 10+ pages on google but nothing works! Help?

  • My ipod touch will not charge or connect via usb

    When i plug in my ipod touch, it only recognizes that it is plugged in for a few seconds at a time. Therefore, it will not charge, and this occurs no matter what cable i use with it, whether i plug it into my computer, or into the wall with an adapter. I also cannot use itunes with it because of this. I have already looked through the forums for other people having the same problem, but most of them just got useless answers such as checking the troubleshooting guide. I would prefer a "REAL" answer to this. To be completely honest, all that the troubleshooting guide tells you is how to do an idiot-check on yourself. I have only had the ipod for a few months, two at the most, so a depleted number of recharges in the battery is highly unlikely, especially since the computer also will not recognize it. An error message comes up saying that it does not recognize the device. Thanks for any help!

    I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden.

  • Ipod touch will not charge or turn on.

    My daughter's ipod touch got wet. Now it will not charge. I have set it in rice. And now it has set for a least 2 months. Help????

    I've been having a problem like this, and I'm posting this for those looking for a solution like mine, but not finding the same problem and fix.
    One day, my Touch would not turn on. I plugged it into the cable connected to the usb port - the same one it always charges with.  The low/red battery icon appeared with the little lightning symbol below.  It's done that before, fine, but this time, it went straight to the apple icon. 
    I'd tried everything, but could not find a solution. No one seemed to have my problem.  Then I found this today, and it solved my problem: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • My ipod touch will not charge when I use the FM transmitter.

    I have a FM ransmitter that will play music when I attach my 3rd generation ipod touch but it will not charge it.  But I receive an error message that my ipod doesn't support this device.  I use an adapter but it doesn't work.  I've used this adapter in the past with other FM transmitters and it would charge my ipod.  Thank you.

    I have the same problem, my ipod connects to various wifi networs supplying internet to other devices but I cannot use safari... pages connect/ download endlessly. However Map app works fine. Wifi signals strong.
    I have reset network setting but all this has done is to wipe all my passwords and networks, and I still cannot connect to the internet. Frustrating!

  • IPod touch will not charge/recognise charger

    Hi,
    My iPod touch 4th generation ran out of battery charge a while ago and so it will also not turn on. When I plug it into the charger (genuine Apple charger and cord) it will not charge and no pictures or lights come on to say it is recognizing the charger or charging. I have tried with both a wall charger, and using the USB cord and my MacBook/iTunes - neither way works. I have also tried different USB cords and it doesn't make a difference.
    I am unable to 'reset' the iPod touch as there is not battery left on it. And I have blown into the charger port hole and the metal bits do not look bent.
    What to do???

  • Ipod touch will not sync PLAESE HELP!!!!

    I have pretty much exhausted all resources for help. We bought an ipod touch 32GB for my son for Christmas. I have had nothing but problems with this thing from the start. I have spent endless hours on the phone with apple tech doing EVERYTHING from updating drivers to uninstalling itunes and all of it's componentsand reinstalling itunes.
    Every time I connect the ipod to the computer, it will recognize it is there and start to sync. about half way through the sync, the message "The ipod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." will appear. I can sync my ipod classic with no problems. I took the touch to my brothers house and synced it with no problem but once I hook it back to my computer and then disconnect it, it says there is no content (i.e music) in the ipod even though it still is showing in the library for the ipod.
    PLEASE HELP, short of buying a new computer, I am at a total loss here.

    I have been having a similar problem with my 32GB iTouch as well. Once it's up and running (2 seperate trips to the Apple store), it will sync just fine with iTunes. If I have to restore it (i.e. software update), it will just sit in restore mode until it errors out or I stop the process. I installed iTunes on my laptop and it seems to restore just fine...once that is accomplished, I can sync it with the primary computer.
    I've tried turning off windows firewall (even though there is an exception for iTunes already in there) but that didn't make a difference. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, no difference. Basically I've got it boiled down to some program on my computer is causing the process from completeing. I'm to the point now where I'm just gonna to do a fresh back up of my hard drive on an external one and reinstall my OS. I'm not sure if that will make a difference or not because I'm running XP on my laptop and everything works as advertised. But if I can't figure out what other rogue program is preventing my restore, I'm afraid a fresh load is the only solution.
    If anybody else has some suggestions, I'd love to hear them! In particular, if there are any known programs that interfere with iTunes (drivers, software, web browsers, anything!)
    Thanks!
