Can my ipod be revived after a power surge?

The power surge was into the iPod through the outlet where it was plugged in with a power cord. I tried the steps mentioned and none seem to work. When I plug the iPod into the computer via the USB cord...the iPod gets very warm in one of the lower corners but doesn't power up or allow me to recover it. I'm guessing it's fried. Thanks anyway for the assistance.

Turning MacBook Pro on after a power surge

Green light on power cord not coming on/computer won't boot after a power surge. This happened once before and I can't remember which keys needed to be pressed to make it turn on

If the green light won't come on the power adapter, that is completely independent of the computer, so nothing you do to the computer can fix the power adapter light.
I believe the power adapter has its own fuse and that to reset it you have to unplug it on both ends and let it sit for a little bit. At least that's what I seem to remember when it happened to me.

How can my iPod be dead?

Hi!
I just bought a 60g Black iPod video, I took it out of the box, used it for about 3 hours then battery needed to be charged, so I plugged it up in my computer before going to sleep. Three hours after I plugged it, I checked on the screen and the battery was still charging (nothing abnormal at this point). I then decided to go to bed and leave the thing charging.
When I woke up, I checked my iPod and realised the screen was black. So I thought: Okay, it must be recharged.
I then wanted to load new songs in the computer and was surprised to see that the thing refused to turn on.
I check the "Hold" button, but everything was correct.
I read this site's FAQ, when it says that you must leave it layed down on a flat surface for about 24 hours. That' what I did, but nothing happened.
Anyone experienced the same problem?
Could this be because I don't have a USB2 port?
I'm now thinking of buying a Power adapter, but I dont want to pay $35 without being sure that this could fix my problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply,
But I already did read the whole thing before posting in here (didn't want to waste everyone's time with a question that could be answered by reading the FAQ)
My concern is, How can my iPod be dead after being charged for several hours? Nothing appears on the screen, that thing is totally dead. Oh, and did I mention that It is BRAND NEW??
This is the first time that I'm buying an Apple product and this may also be the last time.
Anyone experienced that problem before?
Thank you for your time,

Power surge Ipod

So about a year ago my Ipod had some sort of powe surge. I plogged it into an outlet and the whole thing lit up and then died. I could not reset it or get it to turn on at any cost, I ended up sending it in to be fixed. Now a year later it has done the same thing. I am just wondering if anyone knows what the problem is, do I have a faulty Ipod. I have the old 10gig one, with a touch wheel and all that. I got it 2 years ago. Let me know if I can fix it any other way then to send it back again. Thanks

Did you use the iPod in an unsupported docking system say for a hifi ? If so, you may find that the connecting socket on your iPod is a little slack. Try holding your usb cable on to the iPod with a couple of elastic bands before you plug it into your computer. With iTunes up and running and your iPod connected this way, toggle the hold switch and restart your iPod - does it register now?

17" Powerbook G4 1.67 GHZ - Will not turn on after power surge !!!

This is showing no signs of life after a power surge. Here is what I have done so far:
AC Adapter - Test OK
DC IN Board - Test OK
PRAM Battery - Test OK
There is power getting to the logic board, but absolutely NO response when you press the power button. I have tried the oh so famous PMU reset and zero response. The AC adapter glows amber, and no chimes or beeps. Has anyone had the same experience or could steer me in the right direction. I am very fearful it is the logic board, any sugestions?

You might want to take it to a repair shop. Something similar happened to me, but the repair shop took care of it in a few days. (The only things I lost were all the apple loops in GarageBand, but that's fixed too.)

Power surge mac mini power light comes on but no video

after a power surge my mac mini 2010 2.63 ghz intel duel core processor 8mb ram 320GB onboard hard drive 2 2T external hard drives powering 2 21inch monitors.
power light comes on but no video

"Failure to chime" is not one problem.
¿ Is the power light flashing? This indicates not enough working RAM to Chime and Start up.
Without the Chime, you get nowhere. The conventional way to debug this situation is to remove everything that could be drawing too much power and build back up from there.
Remove AC power.
Press the power-on button and hold for a quarter minute. (This does an SMC Reset.)
remove all drives,
remove all but one unit (a pair on older Mac Pros) of RAM
Remove the graphics card, and all PCIe cards.
Restore AC power, wait a quarter minute, then power on.
¿Chime?
--Yes, add the graphics card only and proceed to debug.
--No. if the fans are spinning, check the Voltages at a power connector such as a DVD drive connection.

My computer says "Power Surge in Power Hub" when My iPod touch is plugged in. How can I fix this?

I have had an iPod Touch 5th Generation for a few months now. I recently updated to iOS 7. Now, when I plug it into a computer it says "Power Surge in Power Hub". It haas never done this before and when I plug it into a different computer, the same message comes up. How can I fix this?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use. Your error message is a symptom of a bad 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.

Ipod Touch 4 Gen no Power after screen replacement

Alright, after changing the broken screen on my ipod touch 4 gen, i can't power on the device. This is not the first time i change
screen's on ipod's before. The power ribbon cable is ok and nothing has been damage internaly. The screen does work because
when i plug my ipod into the wall or computer, i get the charging battery screen. But even after leaving it 20 min on charge, ipod
still doesn't power on. Seems like the battery is not keeping it's charge anymore. But how would that even be possible after
changing a screen ? .... I also tried a hard reset when plugued in to my computer, iTunes detects the ipod in recovery mode, but the recovery
mode times out and gives out an arror, doesn't want to complete.
I really don't know what to try anymore, Even tried the old screen back and same problem. Do i need to repalce the battery ? ...
Please help

Could be the battery or maybe another problem I have no specific suggestions.

Can not start web server after power outage

Hi All,
I have a Cisco NSS322 running firmware v1.0.0. I have Web server with MySQL, file sharing on the box. after a power outage this morning, I could not access the web server anymore. I can access filesharing and web GUI management interface (port 8080). I login to the box via ssh, and do netstat -na, and found that the box does not listen on port 80.
From Web GUI, I tick/untick the "Enable Web Server" number of time but can not turn on the services. The logs say re-lauch apache sucessfully.
Could someone help please?
thanks

Also you're running on the engineering build of firmware. You might need to upgrade to latest versions.

My ipod shuffle disappears after I click on the icon in Itunes. I reinstalled Itunes and my computer has been updated. What else can I do?

My ipod shuffle disappears after I click on the icon in Itunes. I reinstalled Itunes and my computer has been updated. What else can I do?

The shuffle icon in iTunes disappears, after you click on the icon in iTunes? If so, if you do not click on the shuffle icon in iTunes, does it remain there indefinitely? Are you looking at the shuffle icon in the iTunes sidebar?

Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.

My History became cleared after a power-cut - can I find it in Time Machine ?

Normally, after a forced quit, Firefox restores all open websites. After a power-cut, this did NOT happen ... when I looked in History I found it completely empty (although I did not clear it).
I have Time Machine on my Mac ... but where do I look to restore the History ?

How have you searched in Time Machine?
If you can't recover them from there, the you'll need a file recovery application like File Salvage
Note that you won't be able to recover the Library the best you can hope is to recover the photos. The can by the file recovery software may find many files with the same name. In all cases choose to recover the largest file.

Can't burn blank CD after installing CD that came with ipod nano

Can't burn blank CD after installing ipod software - I have the system prefs set to launch Toast 6 when inserting a blank disk, and the drive just churns and then ejects the CD. It mounts and runs burned music and data disks with no problem.
My job requires me to burn data disks from pictures I take at work. Should I re-install Toast? The OS? I ran Disk Utility to check/fix permissions, and no change.

The CD that came with the nano won't have anything on it that you won't get with a full iTunes install. In fact, it may have been an OLDER version of the iTunes software than what you had installed before.
I'd reccomend downloading the latest version of iTunes from Apple and installing that to rule out software reversion issues.
If the problem still exists, try booting into toast before inserting the blank disk and see if Toast can still burn to the CD. If it can, then odds are you have to re-instruct your computer to boot toast when a blank CD is inserted. If it can't see the blank CD, or the Finder spits it out again, then I think you'd have to re-install Toast.

I upgraded to ios6 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved. Can I some how restore from the apps?

I upgraded to ios6.1.3 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved. Can I some how restore the apps to avoid having to pay for them again and having to recreate settings?

As I said, the backup that iTunes makes does not include apps (and music) if those items where not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you restored they will not be on the iPod.
