IPod 4th gen power problems

My Ipod touch 4th gen can't turn on! I've tried pressing the home and power button for 10 seconds and that seemed to work, but than my ipod switched to spinning around in a little circle on the screen and it's been like this for 2 days. Can anyone help? I also jailbroke my ipod.

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.

IPod 4th gen charging problem?

Hey! So tonight I encountered a problem with my iPod 4th gen while charging. I had been using it messaging a friend and went to view it, then my ipod just turned off and died. It has fallen a few times and the home button broke off and I've been using the assitive touch thingy so people try not to tell me the hard restart thing.
It died and I plugged it into my iHome and it didnt turn on so I just put it on the cord, I had to go to the hospital and four hours later I come home and its still charging?! Oh one thing when it died since my home button broke away it revealed the metal underneath of it, well it was really hot so was the back of my ipod not the whole back just by the part you plug it in, I just thought it go to hot and died or something....
I have no idea what is wrong with it and since I don't know the serial number so I cannot go get online help D; any help would be much appreciated.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem

IPod 4th Gen power button broken, game center and some apps won't load.

iPod 4th generation, iOS 6.1.6, power button is broken (will not click at all, I can't let my iPod run out of battery because I won't be able to turn it back on).
Game center, and some of my apps will not load.
I also have issues with apps and Safari crashing, but that isn't a major problem.
For the apps not loading, I've tried deleting them, and then reinstalling them, but it didn't work.
Is there anything I can do about this?

To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
For Safari problem try going to Settings>Safari and Clear Cookies<data and History.
To turn on an iPod without a Power button just connect the iPod to a charging source

Apple Ipod 4th gen power button stuck

hopefully someone will help me out. My ipod power button is stuck and i have no idea how to get it unstuck anyway that i can? or do i have to get it replaced?

There isn't anything a user can do to unstick the button that will not void a warranty or any support from the Apple techs. Best thing to do is take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out and see what they say to do.

IPod (4th gen 20G) Problem

I just bought a new laptop. How do I convert the songs on my iPod (2100+) to the iTunes on the laptop. I can't get anything I've tried to work. The iPod shows up on iTunes, but I can't get the two to "talk" to each other.

"How do I convert the songs on my iPod (2100+) to the iTunes on the laptop"
If you mean how do you transfer the songs from iPod to computer, check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.

IPod 4th Gen. connection problems

Today I connected to my secured network and I put in the correct password (I even checked the router to see if I made a mistake) and it says "Unable to join the network"

What is your encryption protocol? How long is your password? What type of router are you connecting to?
We need a little more information to give you a reasonable place to start.

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset:
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.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod 4th Gen problem with MMJ

Can anyone help me out, i am trying to connect my iPod 4th Gen with MMJ ver. 9. Unfortuantly the old plugin does not work.
I have always been a great Apple fan but i find it hard to believe that Apple would sacrifice is customers happiness with it's race to win the competition between iTunes for Windows and Musicmatch Jukebox.
iTunes is a great program but it's it is severally lacking in regards to it's "Smart Playlist" which is a very very small compare-sent to the "AutoDJ" function in MMJ.
Can anyone let me know if there is a plugin out there that would connect both together easily. I currently have to use Anapod Explorer to connect my iPod to MMJ.

Hi Blue Ocean Girl,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the sleep/wake button is not working on your iPod nano, I suggest trying to restore it using iTunes. If the button still doesn't work after restoring, then you have isolated the problem to the iPod hardware itself.
See this article for the steps to restore an iPod:

Spotify on iPod 4th gen - car connectivity problem

Hi, apologies if this is in the wrong place: (The low down) iPod 4th Gen - iOS (6.1.6) When connecting via USB to 2013 Vauxhall Astra, the head unit displays song track / artist / how long the song has been playing for etc. Problem: I am unable to change tracks (go back or forward) using the car controls. (on the steering wheel or the dash board) I have got the latest version of Spotify and iOS available for the 4th gen iPod. As it is an iPod with WiFi connectivity only, I am playing songs that have been downloaded on the device. the Apple iTunes player works perfectly with the car controls and this is the only reason why I have bought Spotify premium as I wanted to downloaded songs to listen offline and as I spend a majority of time the car, this is very important to me. Has anyone experienced similar issues / know of any past solutions?

I havent come across the vehicle specific idea yet, but it's curious, what makes it different from vehicle to vehicle? As for the iPod idea, I went out and got a brand new iPod Touch 5, and its the same thing. For some reason, the controls will only change tracks in iTunes, and not Spotify. Im thinking that its only because the ipod/spotify app doesnt know how to read the instructions for the car itself.The most infuriating thing is, this used to work, then they upgraded the app in 2013, and something went haywire. I'm considering trying out the app, Music Control Plus, but I'm seeing that it might only be available on a jailbroken iPod, so that might take a bit to try out. Ill let you know how it goes!

TS2771 I have just fitted a new sreen and lcd to my ipod 4th gen everything is workink, but im having problems with selecting the upperscace and also the back space i have done a full reset and every thing i have tried has not resolved the problem

Have you restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod? If so then you have a hardware problem. Maybe a loose/brken connector or maybe something else.
