my ipod touch 4g 8 gigs is not turning on it wont get past the apple logo its not frozen because it turns the screen black and the apple logo please help me
- Try a reset.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to your computer and try to restore.
- See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If the logo still show all the time, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again. -

My iPod Touch 3rd generation wont start back up after turning it off
It all started when I was downloading an update for my twitter app and when it got to "Installing..." it got stuck like that for a while so I turned the ipod off (holding the power button off) and turned it back on. So when I tried to turn it on, it gives me the Apple logo for a while then it gets the "loading sign" stuck. After 5 minutes stuck or so with the loading sign, it turns off by itself and turns back again with the Apple logo. Updating an app and getting stuck has happen to me before and it worked well turning the iPod off completley and turning it on again. And funny thing its always the Echofon Twitter App that always gets stuck when updating.
I tried connecting the iPod to my laptop and opening iTunes but when the iPod gets turned off, on the itunes it gaves me a sign that says "Ipod cannot be found. It is not sync..."
So i need help turning on my iPod back on.

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch 3rd Gen not fully starting up - constantly restarting with the apple logo screen
Hi,
First of all, I cannot get my ipod touch (3rd Gen) to start up so I cannot get model specifics and version numbers - though it is iOS 5.1.1
I have obviously tried to restart it by holding the power and home button for 10 secs but this has not done anything.
At the moment, the ipod switches on and I see the black screen with the white apple logo - this stays on for about 3 minutes, then I get the little spinning circle (but it isn't spinning) for a couple of minutes, before it powers off and does this again... repeatedly. It only stopped because the battery power ran out.
I have connected it to my computer with the latest version of itunes - it appears in the devices list but just has a spinning 'loading' icon and is grayed out. As my ipod restarts the cycle again as above, my computer makes the noise as if i just plugged it back in and the above happens again in itunes.
The problem began when I updated apps (through update apps in app store) and it froze - I turned the ipod off to restart it, and now this is happening.
Any help or advice extremely grateful... I can't even access it to get it restored which is a bit of a problem as I have work notes on it. (Obviously I don't know if notes are backed up on ipod backups through itunes?)
Many, many thanks in advance!Try:

The dents are extremely minor since my ipod had had a light fall. Is it possible to get the replacement. The service center have refused to replace the model, and they have also terminated the product care without even my permission. Need help with this matter. Have had 3 ipod touch before this one. All with the same audiojack problem. Highly dissatisffied with the product quality and durabilty.
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.

I've recently tried reseting the whole Ipod and it came up with an on-screen message saying ''are you sure you want to reset the device? it will take up to an hour and no music or pictures will be restored'' so i clicked ''Yes, Rest'' (or what ever it said). I am now sitting here 24 hours later with an ipod that won't turn on.
i have tried holding the 'power' button down along with the 'home' button for 30 seconds etc.. and nothing is working; it won't show up on Itunes niether the computer. why won't it turn on?If you did not try any items listed here, try them

Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.
Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation. Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable. I have already uninstalled all Apple software on PC and reinstalled. I've tried every step suggested by Apple online iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant.
the best thing i think you could do is go to an apple store or uninstall itunes and reinstall it one more time and see what happens

Ipod touch 3rd generation can´t install apps
I have a problem with apple.
I bought a Ipod touch of the 3rd generation and I can´t install any apps the problem is that my ipod said You need ios 6 to install this app.I bought them in 2010.
How can I fix this problem? I have ios 5.1.1.I would be okay that apple update my ipod to the version 8 of ios.
I think that is a case of programmed obsolescence.
I am very angry. I think that bought an ipod with only 5 years of use and then happens this. I find it amazing.

Unfortunately that is the case with any kind of technology. Components get older and new software is designed to take advantage of current day technologies. The iPod touch 3rd generation is 6 years old which is a very long time in the age of technology. This may seem like a cop out answer but this iPod touch just could not handle current day software. Lets put it in perspective. If Apple updated that iPod touch to iOS 8.x then it would not have the power to handle even the simplest of operations. The iPod touch 3rd generation still works with iOS 5.x and allows you to use it as you did 6 years ago. Applications also get updated as well to support the newer technologies and with that they drop support for older hardware. Apps that had versions on the App Store that at some point in time supported your iPod, it will give you the option to install the older version. I am not saying Apple does not have planned obsolescence, what I am saying is that your iPod still functions because it does not use new software.
