Cannot turn my 4th gen on. Battery problems?

I cannot turn my iPod Touch 4th generation on. It doesn't react when I press anything. I think it has something to do with the battery, because this has happened before, where I just shook the device when it finally turned itself on. I have sometimes dropped it on the floor. Maybe it has something to do with the battery? What can I do?

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. Maybe battery or something else

Press and hold both the home and power button until the apple symbol shows up, about 15 seconds.

Please respond i'm desperate

Have you tried connecting to iTunes to be restored? You may need to manually place the iPod into Disk Mode first so that it is recognized by both your Windows OS and iTunes.

IPod Touch 4th Gen - iOS 5 problems?

I'm sure I'm the ONLY person in the WORLD having issues, but ever since I updated my 4th gen iPod touch to iOS 5 I have regular sync problems, it is slow to respond when coming out of the screen locked position and it for some reason when it did decide to sync it sync'ed stuff in my iTunes that was not checked. I know that I'm an iIdiot, but is there ANYONE else on Earth experiencing similar difficulties? Is it possible to roll back the OS to the previous release?
I appreciate any and all comments.
Regards,
Frustrated in Fairless Hills

Not like you quite but I can empathize.
When I loaded iOS 5 onto my ipod Touch (5th gen I think) i suddenly lost space to "others" about 5Gb which is significant on a 32Gb ipod.
I had to do a complete reset through itunes and now I have loaded back about 150 songs of 5000 in about 2 hours.... I am flying to Australia tomorrow morning I onder what I will have to listen to !!!

Spotify on iPod 4th gen - car connectivity problem

Hi, apologies if this is in the wrong place: (The low down) iPod 4th Gen - iOS (6.1.6) When connecting via USB to 2013 Vauxhall Astra, the head unit displays song track / artist / how long the song has been playing for etc. Problem: I am unable to change tracks (go back or forward) using the car controls. (on the steering wheel or the dash board) I have got the latest version of Spotify and iOS available for the 4th gen iPod. As it is an iPod with WiFi connectivity only, I am playing songs that have been downloaded on the device. the Apple iTunes player works perfectly with the car controls and this is the only reason why I have bought Spotify premium as I wanted to downloaded songs to listen offline and as I spend a majority of time the car, this is very important to me. Has anyone experienced similar issues / know of any past solutions?

I havent come across the vehicle specific idea yet, but it's curious, what makes it different from vehicle to vehicle? As for the iPod idea, I went out and got a brand new iPod Touch 5, and its the same thing. For some reason, the controls will only change tracks in iTunes, and not Spotify. Im thinking that its only because the ipod/spotify app doesnt know how to read the instructions for the car itself.The most infuriating thing is, this used to work, then they upgraded the app in 2013, and something went haywire. I'm considering trying out the app, Music Control Plus, but I'm seeing that it might only be available on a jailbroken iPod, so that might take a bit to try out. Ill let you know how it goes!

4th Gen Click Wheel problems

I bought a 4th generation click wheel 40g ipod in May 06. In May 07 Apple told me that my hard drive was bad and to send it back for replacement. I sent it right to them in May and just received it back this month. I added a few songs tested it and it was working fine. Added 1000 songs and it was still working fine. I have used it less than 5 times since I got it back this month and it now won't do anything.
It is fully charged and moves from the apple screen to the sad ipod with the exclamation point and then to the battery symbol. I did the reset and all the steps and it is doing the same things my old one did. IS this common for this model? I'm calling Applecare in the morning but wish there was away around waiting months to get a new one.
Thanks

Unfortunately, it sounds like the replacement had a bad hard drive as well.
As far as "is this normal for this model?", a study conducted by MacinTouch has shown that 4th gen 40GB models are the most unreliable models there are.

4th gen 40Gb major problems

Hi
About a year ago now I bought a 4th Gen 40Gb iPod. It's been absolutely fine until this last week when it decided to freeze in the middle of the odd album, and then skip onto the next track whenever it felt like it. Now that I have just had broadband connected in my house, I downloaded the updates and the new version of iTunes.
The problem is this: my PC sees the iPod, but will not open it as a drive under My Computer, and it makes the system freeze while thinking about it. It also will not see it in iTunes. Occasionally, I get the folder with the exclamation mark on the iPod itself. I have reset it and reformatted it, but I'm still having the same problems.
What do you suggest? Please help me!!!!

I daren't upgrade to iTunes 6, and I don't see why I need to!
I explained that I'd tried everything, including setting it into disk mode to restore it to every version of iTunes etc available, and that the hard drive seemed faulty. As it was under warranty (just!) the Genius Bar tech let me have a new one. He said they should last years, but their are naturally delicate by nature. I explained that I use a LiliPod case so there's no way it could have damaged the iPod, and he said it must just be a faulty drive. Although i do have to buy Apple care for £39 this time (around $70?) as my warranty on the replacement is only 3 months, so if I want 12 months, I have to pay, which could be worthwhile considering the last one died after 11 months!!

Cannot restore ipod 4th gen without updating to ios 4.2 and cannot do that

My son cannot remember his passcode to his new ipod touch 4th generation. I go into itunes to do a "RESTORE" and it won't restore unless I update to the new ios 4.2 software. When I try to update, I get the "network connection timed out" error. It will never update. I have disabled every bit of security on the computer, removed and uninstalled all anti-virus software, removed firewalls from windows and the router, unplugged and replugged in the modem and the router to do a hard reset, tried creating a new user account in Windows to see if that helped and it gave the same error. I was told by Apple that I must not be able to do it for some reason and I have to go to an Apple store to have it done. That is ridiculous that they can't even figure it out. My son just wants his ipod restored so he can use it and I just want to be able to do updates.

i fixed mine!@#!@# all i did was closed kaspersky and it worked i don't know what your problem is tho since u uninstalled your anti-virus
most people disable there anti virus but the anti virus doesn't fully close like kaspersky
i hope u fix your problem

IPad 4th gen. Speaker problem

Hello,
I recently bought a 4th generation iPad 32 GB black.
I am using it now for like a month.
1)
Yesterday I started to notice the sound coming from the speaker contained crackles.
I was playing with the app "iDJ2GO" and I turned off the mid frequencies.
Then I heard loud crackles coming from the speaker. It was like it was popping.
My volume was up to 50% so i wouldn't say I blew it up.
If so, I think its a poor quality speaker because I played music at half of the limit (max).
Maybe it's in my head but I think the music that comes from the speaker isn't as good as it used to be.
So my speaker is crackling a little bit when I play music.
Especiallly when I play electro music.
2)
When I play house music with base and mute the sound I could hear some static noise that disappears after several seconds.
This static noise also appears when I play music and then hit the pause button.
The static noise differs in loudness depending on what music I play.
CAN YOU TELL ME IF THIS IS NORMAL? AND DO YOU KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM IS UNDER WARRANTY?
I JUST WANT A GOOD QUALITY OF SOUND COMING OUT OF THE SPEAKER.
I PAYED A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE IPAD SO I THINK IT SHOULD FUNCTION PROPERLY.
I already did the 10 second reset but I think it's still there. ('it' is referring to both issues; 1 and 2)
I hope to hear from you!
Yours sincerely,
Jorn Smetsers.

A hard reset has been known to remedy this problem.
You might want to detail when the static happens. All the time? Only when you insert the mini jack? With specific software or volume?

(4th Gen.) iPod Problems please help

Hi my iPod has starting problems. The start up never seems to get past the initial apple sign. I can hear the disk spinning then stopping then spinning stopping etc.... The sad iPod, and low battery warning also alternate.
I have tryied reseting and I tried to change to check disk mode but it won't allow me to change the mode. Needless to say iTunes doesn't recognise it when it's plugged in.
Any ideas please,
Thanks

If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Gen 3 battery problem

Not Charge

- 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.

IPod 4th Gen Location Serivces problems

Alright, I cannot get the location services to work with Paypal Here or Foursquare. I've reset the network settings and the location warnings and still nothing. I don't know how to register my router with Skyhook.

- Apple locations services does not use Skyhook. Apple maintains their own database of wifi routers and their location and updates it based on data obtained via iPhones (and maybe iPads with cellular connection). No one has found a way to tell Apple to add/correct a router location.
- Does the iPod find its correct location in the Mapp app?

Ipad 4th gen. Bluetooth problems

Hi,
I have an 4th generation ipad and when i try to pair it with bluetooth headsets (mm100), it doesn't work.
I have other Apple devices and I didn't have this issue please help me!

I found this (google can be your friend). Are you doing this?
To pair the MM 100 to another A2DP or audio capable Bluetooth enabled device, locate the right earcup. With the headset off, press and hold the center "S" logo button. You will feel a click when it has initially been pressed correctly. After about 4 seconds, the headset LED will blink BLUE and RED, indicating it has entered pairing mode.
Also note that if you have this headset paired with another device and that device is nearby and Bluetooth is on, it won't pair with your iPad.

Attention to the apple developer, u need to check the issue about the iMovie which installed in an iPad 4th gen. Is having a problem during closing the app from the theater page to the home screen. It doesn't closes exactly severally...

Attention to the Apple developer, the iMovie which installed to the iPad 4th gen. has a problem when it's opened at the theater page it frequently couldn't be closed down to the home screen. The app page is actually blinking and cannot tap onto anything..

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!
