IPhone will not turn on, Windows can't recognize it

Hello.
So one night I was listening to music before going to sleep, and when I was finished, I connected my iPod touch to my computer via USB for it to charge. The next day, I noticed I had no music on it, so I opened iTunes to synchronize. Sadly, it said that it cannot read the content, so I tried restoring it. When the restore bar located directly on the iPod filled up, I suddenly got an error saying that the restore was unsuccesful. iTunes didn't recognize the iPod, so I reconnected it. A Windows tooltip popped up stating that the device had malfunctioned and that Windows cannot recognize the device. What's worse, the iPod's screen does not want to turn on, and resetting and turning on the iPod also yields no results.
The iPod is not jailbroken.
Can anyone help me?

Nope, none of my computers (with iTunes 8.1 installed) can even RECOGNIZE my iPod Touch, let alone restore from iTunes.
I mean that Windows can't recognize them, not just iTunes.
Well, thanks 8.2, you just officially broke my iPod!
I can't even CHARGE it anymore <cry>

        Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

    Hi,
    I am having the same problem. Itunes reports that it's uploaded all the music etc.
    When I turn the match function on, it says "you are not currently subscribed to itunes match".
    I have restarted the phone and coputer, logged in & out several times to no avail.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

  • My iphone will not turn on at all even when i do a hard restart. how can i fix this?

    My iphone will not turn on at all. i tried to hard reboot it and still nothing what can i do to fix this?

    Take it to your local Apple Store and have the genius take a look. If it won't respond at all, it sounds like a hardware failure.

  • Iphone 4s will not turn on, you can not restore with itunes. What to do? Phone lit white screen and nothing can be done

    iphone 4s will not turn on, you can not restore with itunes. What to do? Phone lit white screen and nothing can be done?

    Reboot computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

  • IPhone will not turn on, charge or connect to a PC

    My iPhone will not turn on, I was installing the iOS update on 4% battery which i've realised is bad and now my phone won't charge, turn on or even connect to a pc, i've tried pressing the two buttons to try fix it but nothing happens the screen remains black, ive tried charging it from a wall and nothing works at all! Is there anything else I can do?

    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.

  • My iphone will not turn on.  Why?

    My iphone will not turn on.  Why??  Help me please !!

    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1349 my iphone will not turn on or charge?

    my iphone will not turn on or charge it is the 4s and only 2 months old

    The same when connected to the power adaptor?
    Do you have access to another USB dock connector cable to rule out a problem with the existing cable you are using?
    If not and you are in the U.S. or in any country where AppleCare is available and/or an Apple store, you can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

  • My iphone will not turn on after I replaced the battery

    My iphone will not turn on after I replaced the battery, itunes logo comes up, but it will not connect and does not reset! does anyone know what I can do?

    Who replaced the battery, you, Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider? If you did it yourself, then you could have done anything to disable it. It also voids any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple and the forum. You are on your own. If Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider replaced it, then take it back and have them check it.
    The iPhone does not have a user replaceable battery, or user serviceable parts. It is meant to only be serviced by Apple, or authorized service providers.
