I have an iPod Touch 2 and it will not 'boot up'.

I have an iPod 2, which is 4 years old now and when I switch it on I get the Apple symbol and then the rotating circle and that is where it stays.
I am guessing there is a problem with 'booting up' the iPod, anyone else had the same problem?

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.

I have an ipod touch and it will not connect to my wifi. It has in the past but now it won't even let me get to the point where I put in my wifi info

I have an ipod touch and it will not connect to my wifi. It has in the past but now it will not even give me the option to connect?

Did you just update to BUGGY OS 4.x???
All the updates starting with OS 4.x have completely screwed up most iPod Touch', especially older models like Gen 2 and 3.
Inability to connect to any WiFi.
Fluctuating WiFi signal no matter how close you are to the AP.
Drastically shortened battery life, even when in sleep mode.
And Apple hasn't done a **** thing since irritated owners have complained about it since the middle of 2011!!
(I am one of many thousands affected!) Look at older threads by searches of "Fluctuating WiFi", Terrible Battery Life, for the Touch and iPhone.
This is why I bought an Android tablet instead of an iFad this Xmas. Non-existant Apple support!

I have an ipod touch and it will not longer charge on the dock it only plays music

I was uploading music to my ipod touch 4th generation (I only use this ipod to stay docked all the time to my speackers)
Since I updated my ipod touch to ios 6.1.6 it does not charge it only plays music but it does not charge why is this happening I think is a bug that has the ios 6.1.6 I dont have old speackers I brought them in 2012 they are the sony RDP-XF100ip, it allways worked fin and scince I updated it it does not work.
I also have an old ipod nano and I thought that the dock burned but it did charged the ipod nano
Thanks.

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Sometmes this works
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Otherwise go to the dock manufacture's support site. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for either an iOS update (very unlikely) or an update to the firmware on the dock

Hi JACOBfromINSIDEaLION,
If you are unable to get your iPhone to restore, you will want to perform a restore from recovery mode, as explained in the following article:

I have a brand new Ipod touch and it will not sync.

I have a brand new ipod touch and I cannot get it to synch with my itunes. I have two other Ipod Nano's that will synch up just fine. The computer has windows XP with the latest service pack on it. It does not recognize it as a device in windows, but sees my other two ipods. I have the latest itunes software on it. I even uninstalled it and reinstalled per the apple web site. I connected the ipod touch to another cpmputer and the usb port sees it as a device just fine. What do I need to do to this thing to get this computer to see it?

Start here:

My daughter has changed her ipod touch password and it will not allow her to put in letters so therefore she is locked out! How can she fix this?

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or yu do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

My iPod Touch and iPad will not sync with iTunes, Windows crashes

I have done the latest upgrade on software for itunes, upgraded the software on both my ipod touch and ipad and now itunes will not sync. As soon as it starts the syncing process I get a pop up window (I'm on Windows XP) that says that there's an error and itunes has to shut down. I ran the diagnostics test and it says there's no error. Not sure what to do now.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

I just updated my ipod touch, and it will not work now.

I just updated my ipod touch... i think its 3g... to the newest thing, and now i reset my ipod and it just goes to a bluish green screen and won't turn off, or do anything but reset. when i reset it it goes to the apple logo and then right back to the blue screen. What can i do?! also, it won't connect to my computer.

You can not update an iPod Touch 3rd Generation to iOS 6.
Only iPod Touch 4th generation can update to iOS 6.
iPod Touch 5th Generation will come with iOS 6 already installed.
Check this page out:
http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new scroll to bottom of page to "iOS 6 is compatible with."
You will have to place your device into recovery mode and set up as new.

I have a 2cd Generation iPod touch and it will not read on finder or iTunes.

My friend comes to me anything and everything I.T, especially when it comes to his iPod. He came to me the other day, Tuesday to be exact and told me his iPod wasn't showing up on his computer. We both have MacBook Airs as given to us by our school. His charger doesn't work so we used my iPhone charger which has never been a problem before. The iPod used to be his cousins and she upgraded and gave him that iPod. I believe it was synced to a Windows computer. He told me it wasn't showing up but yet it claims to be charging, even giving me the sound when we hooked it to the computer. He hasn't downloaded anything yet, so I soft reseted the iPod by going into settings->general->erase all content and I let it do its thing. Its giving me the USB-->iTunes logo and I know I can't get back into the iPod because it's erased. Huge mistake I made. I let it charge overnight so the battery is fully full. We both updated our iTunes and our computers software. I tried putting it into DFU mode and it dosen't do anything. I turned it off and plugged it in and it comes on, but still dosen't read on iTunes nor Finder. I tried deleting apple mobile sync but its not even a source on my computer. Im usually good with finding things & I don't give up until I fixed it. When it comes down to me posting in forums, that means its serious lol, please, I need help. Help Please!
p.s: because I reseted it, I am not able to figure out what operating system it's in and cannot figure out its last update, as a fyi.

If it never worked before for your friend, it could be broken (or was working unreliably). There may be a reason your friend's cousin gave it away.
If it does not appear in iTunes, what you can try is more limited. It did operate by itself (when disconnected), correct, although it may now be erased? So it still charges when connected?
Also, you are connecting it to a connection that definitely works with your iPhone, right? So we can rule out iTunes, the Mac's USB port, and the docking cable as reasons the iPod is not connecting.
If you have not already, you can try resetting the iPod while it is connected to the Mac (with iTunes running)

IPod Touch and iTunes Will Not Work Together.

I just received a new iPod Touch 32GB yesterday and have had nothing but troubles trying to get it to play nicely with iTunes. The Touch is currently version 1.1.5/4B1 (I believe updated to this sometime yesterday).
I am running iTunes v. 7.7.1 (11). When I connect the Touch to my iMac with iTunes running (even though I have it checked, just plugging the Touch in does not open iTunes) nothing happens for a long time and then I get a spinning beach ball which I have let go on for more than 20 minutes at one time.
The Touch and iTunes work fine independently. The last two times after force quitting iTunes, I have received the following error: iTunes could not connect to the iPhone (??) "" because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000035).
Does anyone know what this error is, & how do I resolve these issues?
<Edited by Moderator>

At least atm -
I have re-installed iTunes after restarting the iMac and then restarted again, the Touch connected and showed right away after that and I am happily, currently syncing.
If it goes bottoms up again, I'll be back!

I have a pavillion dv6604nr and it will not boot. the disc drive lites and then nothing.

i was using the computer and all of a sudden my screen looked like a candy cane horizontally. i took out the hard drive and still could not get a bios screen, so i am looking for suggestions or the type of hard case i can buy to use my hard drive. i bought a 2.5 from best buy and it didnt match.
This question was solved.

Hi:
You need to get a USB to SATA 2.5" HDD enclosure.
Did you remember to remove the hard drive connector from the disk?
The thing that looks like this? That is removable. You just have to yank on it.

HT1386 I erased my hard drive and now my ipod touch and Itunes will not sync unless I erase my ipod. How can I have transfer transfer the data on my ipod to my computer?

I have a lot of music on my ipod that is not in Itune and I have songs in Itunes that are not on my Ipod. What can I do to combine the two? I do not want to erase my Ipod. I have a lot of CDs that I put in Itunes and synced to my Ipod before I had to formatted my computer's hard drive. It took hours to put my songs on the computer. Once the hard drive was erased, I installed Itune and connected my Ipod. Since I am using the same computer, why does Itune not recognize that my Ipod and computer are the same ones that are linked to my account? What can I do to sync Itunes and my Ipod that does not require earasing my Ipod?

I have an ipod touch and I am not able to use any money on my accounts because it is telling me the security code is wrong. Can anyone tell me what I can do?

I am not able to purchase any upgrades on my Ipod, music, movies, videos, or anything because it says my security code is invalid. I am not sure if I am using the wrong numbers or if there is something wrong with my account. I have tried to change my apple Id and my password. Other times I am able to sign on to my Ipod with my user ID and password to do an update and it says there is a billing problem with a previous purchase. then you can tap continue and view further info, and when I do this it takes me to my account settings page with the info that I originally set up my Ipod with. I no longer have that same credit card and would like to remove it from account and update with a new one, but have not been sucessful in doing this by using my Ipod. Can I do this online somewhere? Can anyone help me out?

Try here:
