  • IPad shut off and won't turn back on. Any suggestions ?

    I have the first IPad. My iPad shut off at 72 percent battery life and won't turn back on.
    Any suggestions on what I can do ? Is it fixable ? Do I need a new Battery ?

    Not charging.
    1. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo
    2. Try another wall socket
    3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
    4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
    5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

  • HELP!  Ipod won't turn on, isn't showing up in iTunes or computer!

    I finally got iTunes 8 to install today (yeah!) and bought some stuff for my new iPod Nano 8GB (previously had a 2GB 2nd Gen) Some games and music videos. Worked beautifully. When I hooked it up to my computer to add one more game before I left (last minute purchase lol) iTunes said a newer version was available for my iPod, did I want it to install. I said yes, and now it won't work. At all. It won't turn on at all, hooked up to my computer or not, it isn't recognized anywhere on my computer. If I uninstall iTunes to re-install, will I lose my library? Will that even help? I can't do the five R's, cuz the thing won't turn on! What happened??? I need help

    brand new ipod less than 2 months old, occasionally it will crash and the apple logo would come up or the songs would skip but as soon as i turned it off and on it would be fine. today i tried to use it but it wouldnt turn on so i assumed it was flat, plugged it in to my speaker dock, nothing, plugged it into 2 computers and nothing, what can i possibly do to fix it?

  • Help!  Ipod won't turn off after disconnecting

    Okay I've had my Ipod nano for like 3 weeks. I've used it once. It worked fine when I first got it and after my battery ran out I haven't used it for about a week. When I got it back I hooked it up to my computer and updated the stuff on it as well as let it charge. After is says to safely disconnect, I disconnect it but it automatically turns off and won't turn back on. I've tried resetting it and nothing works. I thought the battery was dead but I've left it plugged in (not only USB on my computer but also tried an outlet) and it never completely charged. I've even left it plugged in overnight (well over the 4 hours it's supposed to charge). I have no idea what to do (It also took like at least a full day to completely charge the first time I've had it)

  • Help:my ipod won't turn on

    I was playing around with my 4th gen iPod the other day when I hit a series of buttons that caused it to freeze.
    (I think it was the skip song button while it was in the mode that let's you skip to a part of a song and paused)
    I tried doing the reset sequence by holding down the select and menu button. I then tried the play and menu button. No matter what I did, the screen stayed frozen.
    After about 5 minutes, I gave up. Since the backlight was on, I figured I'd just let it drain its batteries and reset itself.
    Well... I came back to it yesterday and now the iPod won't work. When I plug it into the charger, I see the apple logo appear for about 1 second and hear the HD starting to spin, but then it shuts itself back off. This happens when I try pushing the menu button unplugged, pushing the menu button pluged, or simply plugging it into the power supply.
    I tried leaving the iPod charging for about 4 hours. When I came back, it behaved the same way.
    What can I do now? Did the iPod really destroy itself because I hit the skip-song button at the wrong time?

    i have a 60G ipod video and it is doing the same thing. I had just connected it to my PC and transferred all my music and videos, and then the computer made the sound when something is disconnected from the USB drive. And i looked at the ipod and it comes up with the Apple boot screen, then makes a few clicking sounds then shuts off, then does the same thing again. It's been constantly doing this for the last 20 minutes....
    I can reset it using the centre and menu buttons, and the screen goes blank, but then it just starts doing the same thing a few seconds later...
    i only just got this ipod this morning and already it is stuffing up.... any help?

  • IPod won't turn on or charge AT ALL

    My iPod:
    8 gb
    4th gen (w/ camera)
    NOT jailbroken
    One year old
    I bought it last September (2010) and my warranty just expired. Seriously, two weeks after the warranty ended, my iPod failed to turn on one RANDOM day at a very RANDOM moment.
    I own four iPod chargers (USB and Wall) and none of them charged my iPod. All four plugs work because I have an old classic iPod and all plugs charge it fine. When I plugged it in, nothing on the screen showed up. I tried letting it charge for two days, and it never turned on. I held down the Power and Home button together and for the first couple of times, it showed the red battery w/ the "need to charge" sign underneath. However, after holding down both buttons a few times, the iPod won't even budge at all.
    It's the black screen of death. PLEASE HELP ME!!
    What doesn't work for me:
    won't charge at all
    plugs aren't the problem
    holding down the home button (and the power button together) doesn't work -- no apple appears, nothing! even after holding it for 1 minute
    doesn't even turn on -- nothing shows up on the screen!!!

    - After being connecting to a charging source for one hour, try resetting the iPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Then connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod restore via iTunes.
    - Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • IPOD WON'T TURN ON OR CHARGE

    I've been using my iPod with the USB input on my new Honda Civic. It was specifically made for iPod, and my model (120GB) meets the compatibility requirements. All was working perfectly until tonight when the dashboard simply displayed the word "unsupported". I tried unsuccessfully to turn on the device manually, but nothing happened. I thought maybe it needed to be charged, although the dealer told me it would charge while connected to the car. However after an hour in the cradle at home and a half-hour connected to this computer, it still won't turn on. When plugged into the computer I heard the little USB connect sound, but the device doesn't show up in iTunes or as a drive on my PC. What happened, and how do I fix it?

    I had to learn how to reset it and only then would it successfully charge up. It seems that the car dealer was incorrect when he told me that connecting to the car's USB cable would recharge it. I tried it this morning in the car and it worked. Thanks for the fix.

  • I plugged my iPad in to charge last night.  This morning, it won't turn on, anybody have any suggestions as to what is going on?  I have only had this iPad for a little over a month!

    I plugged my iPad in to charge last night.  I plugged it into the wall and I have never had any problems.  I have had this iPad for a little over a month.  This morning, when I went to look something up, it wasn't responding.  It won't turn on, I get nothing on the screen, and if I plug it in to charge, to the wall or my computer, nothing happens.  Has anyone else had this issue?  I can't think of what else to try or what to do next.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help I suggest having a technician look at your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • IPod won't work on new computer - any suggestions?

    I recently got a new computer (Sony Vaio) with Windows 7. I copied all my music to my new laptop okay, but when I plug in my iPod mini to the laptop, I get a blue screen of error messages. I've tried updating iTunes and everything, but still get that same blue screen.
    I didn't know if the iPod mini is so old that it isn't compatible with Windows 7 or what? Any suggestions? Other than buy a new iPod - haha

  • Help! iPod won't turn on.

    My new iPod said that my battery was low so I turned it off and now I can't turn it on. I have connected it to my computer to charge but nothing has happened. I have tried reseting it but that has done nothing.

    You may need to leave it plugged in to charge the battery for about 3 hours. As it's plugged up you should notice a large battery charging on the screen. Also, just to make sure...if you don't see that battery try another one of your usb ports on your computer. After you have let it charge for awhile then try to power it up.
    Good luck

  • Help! iPod won't turn off! Stuck in 'Do not disconnect' mode.

    I plugged in my iPod to update it and charge it. My computer told me there were connection issues. I tried rebooting my computer and the iPod never shut off. At that point I disconnected it from the computer and my iPod by itself will not shut off. I tried putting the hold button on and off, moving the wheel....nothing!

    You need to either the let the iPod finishing syncing with iTunes, or figure out what application is still using it in the back ground that prevents you from being able to properly eject the device.  Just unplugging it from the computer is almost always going to cause issues when it's still in use by iTunes or another application.
    So let's connect the device to iTunes one more time and let it finish restoring.  Then try syncing a bit of content over to it and wait for it to finish the sync process.  Then try to properly eject it from iTunes this time.
