Help! My iPod won't turn on and itunes doesn't recognize it.

When I try to turn on my ipod nothing happens, the screen just stays black. I tried connecting it to itunes so I could restore it but itunes won't recognize it.

I'm having the same problem. it's like my iPod had a sudden and massive heart attack!
It was in my cold car for quite a while, but that's never affected it B4. Any ideas?

You'll have to put your phone in DFU mode and restore. Search this forum to find instructions on placing your phone in DFU

IPod touch won't turn on, charge, iTunes doesn't recognize it, and the hard reset doesn't work

My iPod touch 5th gen died so I put in it the charger. Now even the dead battery screen doesn't come on. iTunes will not recognize it, The hard reset won't work, recovery mode doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

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 iPhone won't turn on and iTunes doesn't detect it.

So I recently won an original iPhone in an auction on eBay (for parts or not working.)
The seller mentioned that it gets stuck on the apple logo which it does, and iTunes also doesn't detect it.
I really need help, how can I restore the phone?
I really need this, as I can't call/text anyone at the moment!
Please help!

If you're sure it's charged, then there's a problem - perhaps why it was put up on eBay.
Does it have a sim card installed? Is there absolutely nothing coming up on its screen (is it black)? Or do you still get the Apple logo? It may previously been jailbroken, in which case we can't help. I would suggest that you contact the provider on eBay and ask about jailbraking.

Ipod won't turn on and isn't recognized

I've tried everything with my ipod, but it just isn't working. I would love to be able to fix it myself but I can't figure it out at all.
My ipod is a 30g 5th generation one. That "sad face" icon comes up every time I try to turn it on for a few moments, then it just shuts off. If I try to charge it, it does that same thing over and over again. Also, when I plug it into my computer, it doesn't show up on itunes or any files.
Yes, I have put it into disk mode then plugged it in. When it's NOT hooked up to the computer, and it's just being charged by something else, it charges in disk mode. But if I put it in disk mode then plug it into the computer, it stays in disk mode for about 15 seconds then shuts off. The computer won't even recognize it in disk mode either.
So here are my main problems: It won't turn on, the computer doesn't recognize it, and putting it in disk mode won't do much.
I HAVE tried different cables and ports, it still does the same thing. I have also tried a completely different computer. It still doesn't work.
What I really want to know is how to restore it with all these issues, if that's possible. An even better one would be how to get my computer to recognize it.

it sounds like your ipod need hardware.
I would book an appointment for a genius bar. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

I took it to a Genius Bar yesterday and the iPod was working and today it went to its original state as the day i took it there and they said that it needed to be restored which it did and it was also to be charged for 5 hours, which it did, and they deleted everything in it. A lady blanked it out so it would work and now it doesnt.

Its not my Pc its on every charger in the apple store and all my friends house.
