My iPod Touch won't turn on even when I connect it to the computer.

About a month ago, I lost my ipod 4th gen, and I got it back yesterday morning. Before I lost it, it was at less than 20% battery life, so I knew it was going to be dead. When I got home to charge it, my computer wouldn't recognize the device. I tried doing the home/lock button thing to no avail. I held the lock button for five minutes without any response. The stupid thing has been plugged into the computer for the last day or so, and nothing is happening to it. I really miss my ipod... Can anybody help?

- 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 another cable

    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My 1st generation Ipod touch won't turn on at all and whenever I press the buttons to reset it all I get is a white screen, or a white screen with black lines across.

    You can work through the five 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of corrupted software.

    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • IPod Touch won't turn on even after home + sleep button fixes

    My six-month-old ipod touch (2nd gen, 8G, not jailbroke, not water-damaged) won't turn on. No response at all, just black screen. The computer doesn't notice it's been plugged in. I've tried the following recommended fixes:
    *plugging it in for several hours in case it's just a dead battery.
    *holding down the home button (for at least 60 seconds), with and without it being plugged in to the computer
    *holding down the home button and the sleep button (for at least 60 seconds) with and without it being plugged in
    *holding down home (or home + sleep) and then connecting it to the computer while holding the button(s) down
    Is there anything else I can try before I brave the rush of post-holiday shoppers and head out for the Mac store?

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...

    Hi, my 4th generation iPod touch won't turn on. I lost it for about a year, and I plugged it in and it wouldn't turn on. Please help!
    ~Thanks

    Make sure it's fully charged. Hold the Sleep/Wake + Home buttons down (at least 15-seconds) until Apple logo lights up. If that does not work, you may need a new battery.

  • My iPod Touch won't turn on, why?

    My iPod touch won't turn on. It all of a sudden turned off and will not come back on no matter what I do. I've tried holding the lock and home button in at the same time, I've tried charging it all day and I've tired pluging it into my MacBook and reseting it but none of that works. Please help, thank you.
