4th gen wont turn on! please help.

I haven't had my ipod touch 4th gen on for about a week. I tried to turn it on and the charging screen showed up. After a few seconds it said it was turning on but then the screen went black and then the charging screen showed up again. I have tried different chargers and I tried to reset it by holding the home and power button. It doesn't show up on itunes when i have it plugged in. It has done this before and one day it just started working. Any suggestions?

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
AND
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 another cable
- 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.

My ipod nano 4th gen wont turn on ! help me !

okay i got this ipod nano off one of my friends. I plugged it into my own computer and the apple logo came onto the screen, then after a few seconds the main menu screen came on, but while doing this i accidently knocked the cord connecting my ipod to the computer, then my ipods screen went black and said "please eject before disonnecting " but as it slightly came out it was "disconnected" so i tried putting it back it but the ipod wouldnt turn on, only a blank black screen. I have tried all the steps from apple but none of them are working, please tell me whats wrong with the ipod and how i can fix it !!! i really need this ipod !!

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Ipod Touch Wont Turn On - Please Help

My ipod touch 2nd gen wont turn on at all. I have tried holding down the power and home button but that doesnt work and when i connect it to the computer it is not detected by itunes.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Any help is appreciated

Try this before you take it to the Apple store or send it in for repairs:
1. Start iTunes
2. With your iPod disconnected, hold down the Home button
3. Continue holding down the Home button while plugging it back into your computer
4. Hold the button down until iTunes tells you it has detected an iPod in recovery mode. Follow the instructions from there.
If that doesn't do it, time to see about repairs.

Help my ipod touch 4th gen. wont turn on it wont even show the symbol to say its dead Help im really scared and if its broke i cannot afford another one!

it wont even show the symbol that its dead please help me

Connect it to a wall charger for at least 30 minutes. After that time, while it is still connected to the charger, Reset it by holding down the sleep and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then let go of the buttons. Might take a few tries.

ITouch 4th gen. wont turn on at all, after already being used.

So i am 15 and i got my brand new 32g iTouch 4th gen for Christmas. Iv had past iPod's so i already knew how to add songs, and what not. My songs are already on the iPod and everything has been working great. I was just on the internet showing my mom this storage bin on kmart, after that i closed down the internet, and pressed the lock button at the top. I then wanted to show her this picture on my lock screen, so i went to turn it on/unlock it, and nothing worked! I tried pressing the lock button, and the home button. I also tried holding each. I also tried connecting it to my computer to see if it would work. It did not. Its stuck on a black screen. Please help!

Ok i fixed it!! I texted my best friend Ivan. (: You hold down both the lock and home button. As soon as the apple pops up, let go. (or else your data will be erased) then, i let it do its own thing for about 30 seconds and it turned on! yay!(:

Ipod 4th gen.Wont turn on.

My ipod touch 4th generation took water damage from a small cup of water. As soon as the water had contact with the ipod i dried it out and turned the ipod off. Now it will not turn on. Iconnect it to the charger or pc and it will show the black screen with the baattery charging in red. But when i disconnect it it wont turn on it turns off. Also i left the ipod on the charging screen for 24 hours and it was still on that screen, not able to hold a charge i think. Any help?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs.. They do not fix yours.

IPOD TOUCH 4th GEN WON'T SYNC PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi I have a refurb ipod touch 4th gen, I bout it a little over 4 months ago and have sync-ed it with the same emac g4 running 10.5.8 iTunes 10.2(at time of purchase) to 10.4(today) and abruptly today I plugged it in, and my computer will not recognize it in the slightest. I followed instructions and guides and trouble shooters, and put it in recovery mode, dfu mode and plugged it into all the computers in the house, from 2010 MacBook to lenovo running ubuntu. It still charges using my wall charger, bit WON'T EVEN CHARGE When I connect it to the computer. and I would leave well enough alone except I want to sync new music and update iOS 5 when it comes out. But as stated before I have tried all I can, even looking into jailbreaking. PLEASE HELP I JUST BOUGHT THIS, if you can help in any way please do

I Have Now For 5 Days Tried Everything On Apples Website, MacRumors, MacHeads, Etc. And Still Nothing, Although In Windows it Comes up with "USB Device Not Recognized" And When In Device Manager I Right Click on "Unknown Device" And Click Properties, And Its USB ID is All Zeros, Apple Had an article on this but i did all that was stated and still nothing.
The Nearest 'Apple Certified' Genius Bar is At a Computer Store, but, Unlike Apple Stores; Diagnostics on ipods is $15 and then more to Fully Repair, So i Think I'll Call Apple First. haha
thanks

Ipod 5 wont turn on please help

Help! My Ipod 5 touch wont turn on!
what happened: A few months ago i installed cydia onto my Ipod to get cool themes for my apps and i wanted to remove cydia and never use it again so I tried restoring my Ipod (Ipod also needed update for IOS 8.2) and it said that it would take 5 days to update and restore. I got really confused but i just shrugged it off as the update adding the new watch app so i waited 5 days and the update still had nothing in the progress bar so i tried using my computer to restore it but I ran into complications (Itunes update, windows update, etc) so when i finally tried it said "ipod ran into unknown error 9006 update cancelled" and it kept doing that so I just reinstalled Itunes to see if that would help but now whenever my ipod starts up it stays on the apple logo for a long time then the screen goes black and it repeats that and i cant plug it into my computer to fix because now my computer wont read my ipod anymore I plug it into my pc and it charges the ipod but it does not read it and i don't know if my warranty will work because i installed cydia to my ipod.
if anyone can help me please help.
I am not sure what operating system to choose so im saying here 8.1.3 - 8.2

Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
Yu can ony restore the latest iOS versin for your iPod which is 8.1.3 for the 5G

NB205 wont turn on - Please help

I found this thread posted in September. My problem is the same as these people:
http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/Batteries-and-Power/A205-S5804-Will-not-turn-on-power-and-battery...
No useful support has been offered for his question yet so I posted my question here. I hope someone can help me solve this problem.
In the last week my Toshiba NB205 has had trouble turning on. When I turn it off I would take several attempts to turn it back on. Naturally, I avoided the problem as best I could. This morning I have been unable to get my notebook to turn on at all. Please help.
To help make my problem as clear as possible. The battery does hold a charge and is charged. The power cord is connected and plugged into a live outlet. When my the NB205 boots into Windows everything seems to work as expected. The only problem is getting this POS to turn on. (Forgive the language.)

I had the same problem this morning. I found this on another site (Fixit) and it worked for me. - Kathy
"Here is the fix my Toshiba laptop also wouldn’t turn on so I called them and here is what you do1. unplug the laptop
2.take out the battery
3.hold down the power button for 20 seconds (doing this drains any excess power fron the unit)
4.put battery back in
5.plug in laptop
6.try to turn it on
hope this helps"
