I touch won't respond to anything!! help!!

I recently updated my Itouch with iOS 5.1.1 update.  For about an hour after I did this update,my itouch was frozen on a screen with the apple and a loading bar that wasnt moving.  Then, my itouch "restarted" by itself and froze on a white screen.  I tried restarting it myself, and it restarted, but again froze on the white screen.  I have done this at least 12 times.  Now it won't respond to anything, even when i hook it up to my computer, the computer is not recognizing the connection.  My itouch was working absolutely wonderful before the update, i have not dropped it, or gotten it wet, and it is only a few months old, (January 2012).  I haven"t had any issues with it before now.  If anyone else has had a similar problem or has any suggestions, i'm willing to try anything.  thank you!!

Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

  • My iPod touch won't respond. Please help!

    so... my iPod screen has froze and it won't let me unlock. My sleep button has also broke so i can't reset it, i have also tried restoring and setting it up as a new iPod to which did not work eiter, it just presents me with an error message. If someone could help me it would be great thanks.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    However, if you tell us what the error message said it may be easier.

  • IPod Touch won't respond to anything

    I have an iPod (1G, 16GB) that's just slightly over a year old, and the other day it stopped working for no apparent reason. I can't get any response from it - I've tried forcing it on by plugging it in to my computer, I've tried putting it in DFU mode; I can't try to put it in recovery mode since iTunes won't register it. Nothing happens. It won't turn on, it's just stuck on a black screen. The only indication that something was wrong, was that a few hours prior to when it wouldn't start up, the music I was listening to would randomly pause after a few seconds. I've had problems where I wasn't able to turn the iPod on before ever since I've gotten it (maybe 2 or 3 times, once just about a month after I'd gotten it), but I never thought much of it since I was able to force it on by plugging it in to my computer. I've read that it could be hardware failure. Is there any way to fix this, or is it lost forever? Thanks.

  • My ipod touch won't respond. Shortly after I downloaded IOS 8, it quite responding. How can I get my pictures recovered?

    My ipod touch won't respond. Shortly after I downloaded IOS 8, it quite responding. All I get is the Apple sign.  I connected to my computer and tried updating and was able to download the USB connection for the device but received an error when it tried to update the ipod. Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from the device before I try to recover? At this point my pictures are more valuable to me than restoring the device.  How can I get my pictures recovered?
    Now it looks like I have the Apple with an line under it on the screen, but still not responsive.

    First thing to try is a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • HT1476 I can't tell if my ipod touch 3rd gen is really charging. I have it plugged in, but it will sometimes show the charging icon and then it won't respond to anything. I ddon't know if you need itunes to be on your computer to charge it.

    Ok, so I plug in my touch 3rd gen and I can't tell if it is really charging. It doesn't seem like it is. I can only see the charging icon sometimes, and then after the icon goes away, the ipod won't respond! I'm not sure what to do. Than I thought the USB port was messed up because it doesn't always work, but I plugged it into a diferent port and it said on the ipod, charging isn't supported with this accessory.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    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 most iTunes purchases by:           
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • My iPod won't respond to anything!!

    my 20GB iPod has been working fine since I got my new one in July. Just last night, however, it wouldn't respond to anything. I tried everything and I followed all of the instructions in the "iPod Help" section of iTunes. when I plug my iPod into the wall charger, it won't do anything; when I plug it into my computer, it won't do anything. it won't turn on at all! I have no idea what to do.

    I did that last night and nothing works. I know I don't have a dead battery because it was fully charged yesterday.
    besides, when I plug it into something, nothing comes up; not even the little "charging" symbol.

  • My ipod won't respond to anything. Its there anything I can do?

    So my sister spilled her protein shake on the bottom of the front screen of my ipod touch. So I quickly wiped off the goo and sprayed it with some gentle cleanser and wiped it off as well. Well, I had just gotten the ipod a week ago and so the protective cover was still on, and still sticky. So I peeled the cover off only to find that underneath the cover was sticky too. So I sprayed and wiped. I also took a small toothpick and cleaned out the edges because there was shake gooped up in there too.
    When I first turned on the ipod, screen's contrast was lighter; and it worked. Then after the cleaning, the screen apeared to be frozen and it still turned off and on. So I thought maybe I should plug it in to the charger and see if maybe it lost battery or that would unfreeze it. Soon after I turned it completely off, it would not respond to anything. It still is black and unresponsive to anything.
    I would return the ipod, however, my mom got it for me six months ago for christmas, but then, they decided to get me a laptop. So my mom kept the ipod just in case I wanted to buy it from her. So when I got straight A's, my parents gave it to me as a gift. I am unsure if I can still return it to our local walmart after this long period of time.
    Help would be much appreciated.

    hey all. I'm using Mac OS X version 10.3.9

  • Ipod won't respond to anything

    I have a 20g ipod with click wheel and color screen.
    First, my ipod wouldn't be roconized by my itunes. No icon came up in the source list. Nothing would happen when I would connect to my imac.
    Now, my ipod won't stop flashing the do not disconnect symbol.
    I have tried resetting my ipod but it won't respond to that either.
    The only thing that seems to change on it is when I plug it into an electrical outlet, the battery changes to charging mode. The battery was low but still green, is that part of the problem?
    can anyone help?

  • My iPod touch is not responding to anything...please help?

    Okay so a week ago I was listening to my ipod touch's app "iheartradio" (ipod touch is 8GB and 2nd generation). The battery was low, and it then died. Later on that night, I went to plug it into my wall charger, and it did not respond. Normally when this happens, I would hold in the home button and the sleep button until the apple logo appeared and then it would charge successfully. When I did this, the apple logo did not appear and it still did not respond (which was weird because it always had before). I then went to plug my ipod into my computer, and itunes or my computer did not recognize it. I have tried hitting it, holding down the home/sleep buttons...I've tried everything I can think of. I have left it charged overnight, and still nothing I am unable to get the apple logo or the shut off option...nothing appears on the screen. I updated to the new version of itunes and once again, nothing I also tried restoring it and nothing is recognized. I currently have my ipod touch plugged into the computer and it does feel pretty warm on the back of the ipod just above where the usb plug goes. I really don;t know what to do. I do not have any warrenty on it since my mom won it from her work a few years ago and then gave it to me. I really wanted to use this during my nursing clinicals since we are allowed to use them for references and I cannot afford another one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
