How to fix an ipod touch 4th generation that will not turn on or charge

My ipod touch 4th generation randomly turned off and will not turn back on or charge. I have tried restarting it, resetting it, and letting it "charge" for weeks but nothing has worked. It is not registered by itunes when plugged into the computer either and there hasn't been anything dramatically done to it. I also cannot do anything to update its software since it isn't being recognized by itunes or turning on.
Thanks in advance to whoever has helpful information!

My Ipod touch 5th generation 32gb had been stolen

My Ipod touch 5th generation 32gb had been stolen, how do I report to apple so they can not use it again. Thank you for all, Javier Rodriguez Gauxax.

You do not report it to Apple at all.
Like any manufacturer, they can do nothing at all.
Report it to the police and change your passwords.

Can I use Bluetooth 3.0 headphone on the iPod Touch 5th Generation which has Bluetooth Blue 4.0?

Can I use Bluetooth 3.0 headphone on the iPod Touch 5th Generation which has Bluetooth Blue 4.0? This will be a first time purchase of a headphone, (preferably behind the head, earbuds) mostly likely from an on-line store. Any recommendations?

Yes, it is backwards compatible.

HT1212 Up to how long will my iPod touch 5th generation be disabled with ios7? The screen doesn't say anymore...

I can't remeber my iPod touch 5th generation's pass code. I know the four numbers included, just not the sequence. It disabled yesterday at 6pm, and it's now 11am and still disabled. Also, when I first got my iPod, my friend synced it with her iTunes, so I can't plug it into mine.
I have a lot of pictures and songs that I really don't want to lose, by just restoring it, if I can even do that.
So, my question is either,
1. Up to how many hours can my iPod be disabled for? (The new iOS won't tell us!) And how long will it disabled after each try??
2. Is there any way to get the pass code off my iPod touch without losing all my apps, music, pictures, ect.?
Thank you!!

If it says "iPad is disabled" it is never going to time out. At that point, your only option is to restore it in iTunes.
If you have a backup in place now (in iCloud or iTunes) once restored, you can restore from backup, but the only way to un-disable the device is to restore it.

How do I reformat an IPod Touch for Windows that has been formatted for a Mac? All instructions I have been able to find use ITunes or Device Manager to reformat. My IPod is not being recognized by ITunes or in Device Manager.

I have an IPod Touch that has been formatted for a Mac. All instructions I have been able to find use ITunes or Device Manager to reformat the device for Windows. This cannot be done if Windows doesn't recognize the device. Is there another way to set the device back to the factory settings directly on the device without using ITunes?

Ipod touch is not formatted one way or the other at all.
Just sync it to the new computer using itunes.

I have an iPOD touch 5th generation that doesnt turn on, doesnt charge or anything. seems to be dead, as if the battery is done. any input?...

I have no way of getting any specs, version numbers or operating systems. It is my daughters iPod 5th generation and it will not turn on or charge. I have tried to charge it from a lightning wall adapter as well as the usb adapter directly to my computer usb outlet witch is where it has been for about an hour now and I still have nothing...Any ideas.?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 iPod Touch (version 4.21) has been disabled

I've had my iPod Touch for 3 years & never had to enter a code until now. I've tried everything (I can think of!) to no avail - it (my iPod) has now been disabled.
How do I reinstate it? I've tried connecting it to my iTunes a/c   as instructed, but no luck. HELP!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

try using this program to place the iPod in recovery mode

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How to fix a iPod touch 4th generation lock button?

so I went to apple to see if they could fix my lock button. They said i would have to pay a replacement cost of $99 and i already did to because I cracked the screen a few months ago. So there is no way that i will pay it again, IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO GET IT FIXED?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If the Genius can't unstick it:
- They will exchange it at no cost if the iPod is defective, within warranty and not abuse.
- otherwise the exchange price is $199 for 64 GB on and $99 for the others.

I have a ipod touch 3rd gen that has been working fine until a week ago. I usually charge it using a power adapter in the house or using a car power adaptor. All of a sudden neither will charge my ipod. It does charge is I connect to computer.

I have tried different cords. Other Ipods charge fine. I have rebooted the Ipod. I don't know what else to do.

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.

HT4363 Ipod touch 5th generation plays only audio of videos

Hi,
My new Ipod touch 5th generation that was released in October 2012 does not play video images in tv through Apple tv. It plays the audio of the video, but no images. How can I get it to play you tube videos with images? My Ipad has no problem connecting with the Apple tv and videos play without an issue. Help please!!
Regards

Agreed, but the dents are extremely minor, its not like the entire case is cracked and its coming off, or the screens broken. It's just a slight chip. And ispite it being so minor they have declined the replacement.
