How can I get my ipod touch to turn on or to charge?

How can I get my ipod touch to turn on or charge?

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 the screen blacks out or 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. 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.

I can't get my ipod touch to turn on

I can't get my ipod touch to turn on. When I press the on button the apple icon shows up for a few seconds then turns off. I've charged it over night and even bought a new USB cord. Both Windows and iTunes do not recognize the device.

- First 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.
- Connect to computer and it ITunes ees the iPod restore the iPod
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPOd. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Look at the dock connector of the iPod. Look for abnormalites like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material, cracked and broken plastic.

I can't get my iPod to turn on. I tried charging but still won't turn on.

I can't get my iPod Classic to turn on. I tried charging but still won't turn on. This happened once before and someone told me a way to turn on by holding a series of buttons down at same time. Does anyone know how?

dkstahlman,
With the iPod still plugged into an external power source, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may take 1 or 2 tries.

Can't get 2 Ipods onto one computer system-one Ipod frozen

I got 2 Ipods for my kids for xmas. I can only get one Ipod to connect to the computer. I went to the Apple store and spoke directly to an associate that said, there is no problem it will be fine. I connected the Ipod to charge the battery and it said do not disconnect. However, my computer sends a message that said, USB port not recognized, please disconnet immediately. I did and know my daughters Ipod is frozen with do not disconnect on it. We have the 30GB Ipods and they have not been able to do anything with it since they got it for xmas. Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Hey, I went and called Apple Support and actualy got a person!!! He talked me through some opening and adding information on my computer and both my girls can have their Ipods connect now. Not at the same time, just the computer recognizes both Ipods and they can do their downloads.
The number is: 1-800-275-2273
I hope this helps others.

How can I get my Ipod to play on someone elses computer?

How can I get my Ipod classic to play on someone elses computer. Not my home computer where my library is stored?

The simplest -- and safest way for both sides -- is to use the same sort of cable you use for the AUX port on your car -- an min-jack to min-jack cable. Plug it into the headphone plug on your iPod, and connect it to the Line-In on the friends computer. This eliminates any risk of your iPod being detected by iTunes on your friends computer and getting corrupted, and also elimates any risk of malware attempting to corrupt the iPod. If you are worried about battery, simply connect your iPod to an external charger when you do this.
When I'm at work, I never connect my iPod to my work computer. I just use an external speaker. The iPod is only connected to its primary iTunes, and then I only update that iTunes when it is absolutely necessary.

How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired?

The ipod dock on my Ilive it188b stopped working and doesn't play or charge my compatible ipod which works on my other stereo. Everything else on the stereo works fine. I contacted the company and they would not sell me a replacement dock because of their agreement with Apple. How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired? I have checked locally, and the electronics hospital reapair place will not work on it. Is my only option to try and sell it on craigslist or ebay?

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

I can't get my ipod to synch with my conmuter or itunes. But my kids are able to synch their ipods.

I can't get my ipod to synch with my computer or itunes. I've checked the USB ports, my ipod is charged and my kids are able to get their ipods to synch.

Have you tried using a different known working USB cable? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.o port on the back of your PC? What happens if you reset the device with it still connected to your PC? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and then off, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, try removing all other USB devices (minus the keyboard and mouse if applicable) and reboot your PC. Then reconnect your iPod after opening iTunes. Any luck there?

If it started after updating to iOS 5 it may be that the dock is not compatible with iOS 5. Somebody else recently posted with the same problem after iOS 5.

You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
