I pod touch wont do anything!! i can't even restore it

i have tried to restore the ipod touch and it does nothing at all i plug it in to the computer and it still does nothing i have tried everything

- Does the iPod charge when connected to the computer or give any indication that it is connected? 
- Have you tried another USB port and cable? 
- Have yo reset your iPod:
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.
- Did this happen or of the blue of did you do something?
- Have you tied placing it is recovery mode and then restoring?  For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • HT1414 my ipod touch wont do  anything u can trun it off,

    my ipodtouch just stays lite up with apple showing, i tried to do factory restore because i purched it from craig list now it wont do anything?

    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 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. Yo uonly have to have an iPod. The appointment is free.

  • I pod touch wont do anything!

    I just got a new Ipod touch today. I've try to connect it to my old Power Book G4, but cant connect, here's the error message I've got: "Itunes could not connect to the ipod because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)."
    Can someone tell me what's happening?
    thanks
    Alex

    Is your iPod able to turn on? If so i would suggest a restore.
    Here is an article on how to force your ipod into recovery mode.

  • I pod touch wont sync or backup as states backup is corrupt?

    My I pod touch wont sync! I understand from other communities that I can do this manually using a drag and drop method but how do I turn on manual management. It will no longer back up as it states that the backup is corrupt.

    - Try deleting the existing backup (iTunes>Preferencs>Devices. select the backup and click on Delete).

  • Latest i-pod touch wont sync, computer freezes and comes up with error -21 when i pull it out

    Latest i-pod touch wont sync, computer freezes and comes up with error -21 when i pull it out of the usb port

    Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

    Next I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod. Note that this will erase the iPod. For recovery mode see:

    Connect the iPhone to the compter you usually sync with
    and use iTunes on that computer to do the restore.

  • Can't Even Restore

    After major problems with my i-pod, I decided to restore it and re-install i-tunes. Well, I can't even restore it because I get "Firmware update failure. Disk write error."
    Please help.

    Also, the i-pod started displaying a picture to plug into an electrical outlet. I don't have such a cable, it used to recharge via the computer.
    It wants you to plug it into AC power so that it can update itself. Clearly the restore or update you did must have worked, because now it wants power in order to reflash. Power from a computer isn't good enough, it needs you to plug the cable into the AC adapter that came with the iPod.
    The same cable you use to connect it to the computer will work, just disconnect it from the computer and plug it into the AC adapter instead.

  • I have an old iPod classic that iTunes cannot find, I can't even restore it!?

    I have an old iPod Classic that iTunes cannot "find" even though it shows it. I can't even restore it. Works fine except can't synch with iTunes to add new music!?

    We (Appple techs) tried disk mode and that didn't work. At times the iPod would even "show" itself in iTunes and iTunes would say it was synching but when you looked at the iPod you could tell it wasn't ( it just said do not disconnect) and after 10 to 40 minutes later iTunes would say can't find iPod. We would then have to force quit iTunes because it was hung up and then just disconnect the iPod. The iPod works fine with headphones or a docking station, just can't add (or subtract) anything to it. It completely mystified all the techs in the store and all "senior" advisors on the phone- and that was about 4.5 hours getting tossed to one "expert" or another! Ah well, indeed stranger than life.

  • HT201412 None of the abot helps, and I can't even restore with iTunes, as my Ipad is not visible in iTunes at all.

    Hi.
    I am having trouble with my iPad 1. It doesn't switch on, can't restart it, can't reset it, and can't even restore it with iTunes, as it's just no visible with iTunes at all. And yes, I have charged the battery for several hours just before doing all of this. All I see on the screen is the iTunes logo and an arrow with the picture of the cable, which suggests to connect to iTunes.
    Can anyone help?
    Many thanks,
    Dimitri

    Force the iPad into Recovery Mode

  • My iPod Mini 3rd Generation isn't recognized in My Computer or iTunes. I can't even restore it without iTunes. The same thing happened with my iPod Nano 3rd Generation, but that one worked for a while, and suddenly went unrecognized.
