My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

My ipod touch 5th gen will not charge

My ipod 5th generation will not charge, I have 4 different chargers that I have tried 2 of which have adapters on them hanging them from 4th gen ipod chargers to 5th. I now know that it is a problem with my ipod. Has anyone experienced the same problem? And is it fixable?

Ipod Touch 5th Generation will not turn on, restore, or show up in itunes unless in DFU mode.

So a friend gave me his Ipod Touch 5th gen because he couldn't fix it himself and he bought a new one, and while I'm stoked to have a near brand-new Ipod touch, it's also frustrating me to the point I'm ready to give up on it aswell and pass it down the line. I'm not sure what he did to it, he says it just stopped working but you never know.
Anyways, the problem is that it simply does not turn on regardless of what I do to it. When I plug it into the computer, it gets warm; usually a sign it's charging fine. However, it doesn't show up on Itunes. I read some forum posts and searched around other places aswell, and tried putting it into DFU/Recovery(not sure which is which anymore, it's the one where you hold down the power button for 3 seconds, then home+power for 10, then home button for 20). It showed up on Itunes, and said it needed to restore. I downloaded the 1.2gb update it needed, but then it hung at the "Waiting for Ipod" progress bar. As it does this, I get maybe 3-5 Windows 'bing' sounds of a connecting/disconnecting device, ending on a disconnect sound. Itunes eventually times out the restore with an error code 4005, which I read means the Ipod has been disconnected in the middle.
After this, it doesn't show up on Itunes and I have to repeat the process to get it to show up again. I tried it a third time just now and it's still doing the same thing.
Any ideas? Really at the end of the line on ideas I think.
Please and thanks,
-Cody
P.S. I don't know if it matters but the warmth is coming from the top/camera end fo the Ipod. Not sure where the battery is versus the CPU, but maybe that'll help the diagnosis.
P.S.S. Also, when it shows up in Itunes in recovery mode, it doesn't show a serial number, so I don't think an Apple store would even work on it without a serial #.

If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

Please Help Me. iPod Touch 5th generation will not download music from itunes

My son has an IPod touch 5th generation that he got for Christmas (3 months old :(! All of a sudden if he is on iTunes and buys a song it won't download. It will say its already been purchased but its not in downloads. I have soft reset and now finally did the erase all data and settings. When it started up and i signed into icloud everything started downloading but the music. If I go into the iTunes app and hit purchased music I can see all the music but when I go to hit specific artists it sits and loads (circle is circling) and won't show me the individual song titles. I'm sick to my stomach that the iPod is not fixable because I can't afford to buy my son a new one and I haven't finished paying this one off. Can anyone help me please? I can add music from iTunes on my computer directly to the iPod when plugged in. So I am assuming this means something is wrong with iPod. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

First, don't obsess over it. If, in fact, there is something wrong with the iPod, it's still in warranty. Now, I don't know for certain what will fix this for you but here are some suggestions, beginning with one that's quick and easy.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

My iPod touch 5th generation will not connect to secure WiFi networks.

My 5th gen iPod touch will not connect to Secure wifi networks. It always says incorrect passcode. I have checked the passcode over and over again and I am sure it's correct. it's not just happening with my home network, also at work it never works. It is fine connecting to unsecure networks though. please help me.

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ipod touch 5th gen will not turn on- home button stopped working months ago

Hi,
So I have a ipod touch 5th gen and it suddenly turned off and will not turn on.
Okay, I just want to say first I know the answer would be to hold the top button and the home button at the same time until it turns on.
The thing is, my centre home button stopped workings months ago so I was using the assistive touch.
What happened:
I was using my ipod and the battery was almost full. When I tried to use it 10 minutes later it was turned off and I can't turn it on. I tried plugging it on my computer and it will not recognize it.I also tried holding only the power button on top for a while but nothing happened.
Any ideas?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode

What do you do when your iPod touch 5th generation will not turn on, and it isn't in recovery mode?

Today, my iPod touch 5th gen wasn't turning on, but during school earlier today it was working just fine. When I got on the bus, it wouldn't turn on? I got home and I plugged it into the charger and tried to see if it would turn on that way, nope. Also, there would be no way for it to be in recovery mode, because of the fact that the home button is pushed in and wont work. I've had my iPod for 2 years, is it just old and decided to give out?

Ipod touch 5th gen will not play songs correctly

So I got a new ipod touch 5th gen for christmas. When I put songs into a playlist and play them they dont always play in the correct order, or sometimes they dont play at all. I had no problems with it the first week I had it but then all of a sudden it didnt play the music correctly. It will skip one song and then play another song a second time in place of it.   Then sometimes it will randomly skip the last bit of a song and go to a different one but when I go in and look at the songs being played it says its still playing the song that it decided to skip. It also will play the songs in a different order than what I put them in along with the previous problems listed ocurring. Please let me know if theres anything I can do to fix this or if I should send it in to apple or maybe even take it back and exchange it for a different one. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!!!

Ipod Touch 5th generation will not turn back on (won't recharge, and is not recognizable on computer)

I recently bought my new ipod touch 5th gen, and was playing it (browsing on an app) until it randomly shut down without any warning or anything. I thought maybe the battery was low, but I was sure that my battery life was half way and also that it did not give me the "20% low battery" warning. I plugged in my ipod into my recharger just to be sure, but it would not recharge, the screen did not start back up. It stayed pitch black. I tried plugging it into my laptop, still the same thing happened. Furthermore, my laptop did not even recongise it at all. I'm not sure what is wrong with it. I even left my ipod plugged in for some time now, and still it appears to have the same pitch black screen.
Please help, thank you. I appreciate it!

Try charging the ipod touch on a wall charger and make sure the outlet is working. And leave it there for 10 minutes.
Or try holding the power and home until apple logo appears.

IPod Touch 5th Gen will not restore

I have a brand new IPod Touch 5th Gen and I Tunes will not let me restore. Am in an endless state of Recovery Mode. I have the latest version of ITunes installed and the IPod Touch worked perfectly for two weeks after I got it. Now when I try turning it on, all I see is a black screen and USB cord leading to the ITunes symbol. I checked in Diagnostics and it says no IPod is detected, yet my IPod shows below Devices in ITunes. I have tried 20 or so suggestions to fix the problem and nothing works, including holding down Sleep button (turn on) and Home button for many minutes. Is there any way I can get ITunes to recognize my new IPod in the proper way? Restoring process in ITunes just does not work. Thank you. I believe this Touch has the iOS 6.0.1.

Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then try restoring.
