IPod 5th gen 30gig won't charge and isn't recognized by iTunes

I recently replaced the battery in my iPod 5th gen because I thought that was the problem. This fixed things temporaly and my iPod turned on for this first time in a long time. However, now it won't charge or hook up to the computer. I think this may have been the problem all along.
The charging port seems to be in good condition and pretty clean. I have tried resetting it and resetting it while connected to itunes. I also disconnected and reconnected the new battery. I left it plugged in for sometime but it hasn't charged.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I really have no idea what the problem is at this point.
Thanks

I suspect that you have a completely dead battery.
i got this ipod about a year ago
If you mean 11 months, a battery replacement is under warranty but $30 shipping and handling. If you mean 13 months, a battery replacement is $59 + $7 shipping.

Ipod NOT turning on, won't reset, won't charge and isn't recognized by PC

I've had my 120 Ipod Classic since the end of 2008. Before I went to bed Saturday, I plugged it in to the USB port to charge overnight while my computer was still on. I wake up Sunday and my ipod is completely dead. It won't charge or turn on. I've tried resetting it and still nothing. I have not seen the screen lit since Saturday night and have no idea what could have happened. Could it be the battery? My computer nor Itunes isn't even recognizing it. I also plugged it into my macbook and again, it's still not recognizing it. What in the world is going on? Four days later and I'm still stumped. PLEASE PLEASE help me.

If you upgraded to Itunes 9, there's the problem.
Itunes 9, unfortunately, corrupts any Ipod Classic that was purchased around a year ago. We haven't really found an exact manufacturing date for the Ipods that are susceptible to corruption.
Sorry, but you're probably out of luck like the other Classic owners out there.

It wouldn't hurt to take it to the nearest Apple store, though.

My iPod won't turn on, won't charge, and isn't recognized by the PC. Help please?

I got a classic not too long ago from someone else and I tried turning it on yesterday but it wouldn't come on, so I tried plugging it in the car charger, but still nothing. Today, I tried the wall charger and nothing. I tried the USB and nothing and realized the PC wasn't even noticing it was there. I have my old nano and it is recognized and charging by all the ways the Clasic isn't so I'm completely lost and need some serious help please!

You can try the troubleshooting here. If that does not work I suggest an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store since you may have a hardwar problem like a dead battery.

My iPod touch is stuck on apple logo and isn't recognized by iTunes

My iPod touch gets stuck on the apple logo and won't let me get to the home screen. I tried plugging it into iTunes but It was not recognized. When I hold the power button down it tells me to charge it. When I do it gets stuck on the apple logo again. Please help!

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I reset my ipod shuffle gen 2 successfully but it still isn't recognized by itunes

I downloaded iPod Reset Utility and according to the app, my iPod shuffle was reset successfully. However, it still isn't showing up in my finder and iTunes says it can't recognize the ipod until it is reset. Also, the lights don't go on. Battery dead/needing replacement? Can it be reset without a functioning battery?

Ipod Shuffle won't turn on or charge and isn't recognized by the computer

My Ipod shuffle won't charge and isn't recognized by the computer , it turned orange than stopped and won't charge or turn on since. Does anybody has a solution please ?

I have exactly the same problem with both my ipod shuffles. That suggests to me that it is a problem with the ipods rather than my PC or computer software. I'm surprised that no Apple tech has suggested a solution yet.

My mom put my ipod 5th gen in the house somewhere and it was turned off. It is connected to the internet in the house. How do i turn it on with the Findmyiphone or something else? It was an expensive gift and we can't find it now! Please help!

That is so dumb...Apple is the best and most techinological company IN THE WORLD and they don't have the time to invent something like that? HUH? All they are worried about is making the "Worlds best Phone" and they can't take the time out to help their users or anybody that has their products. All they have is "Find mt Iphone" Well they should step up and do something else to help people like me out. Find a way to turn it on and you can find it or find a way to turn it on remotely.
Thank you for your replys

Hi, I have an iPhone 1 that is blocked (because of wrong passwords) and isn't recognized by iTunes. How do I fix this? Thanks for your help!

By the way I'm using a MacMini and all operating systems are up to date including iTunes.

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer

My iPod 5th gen touch won't turn on after running out of battery and then being charged for several hours

I was using my ipod touch 5th gen, when it ran out of battery. I wasn't able to charge it all night because the lighting adapter plug broke, and so this battery sign and the lighting charger sign kept popping up telling me to charge it. It ran like that all night and when I woke up it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried plugging it into a few different computers to charge it, and after several hours it still won't turn on. I tried plugging it into my computer with iTunes up, but it still would not charge and my computer would not recognize that it was there. Anyone want to give me some tips?
Thanks

My iPod 5th gen is no longer charging. I've cleaned out lint, switched chargers, and reset the device more times than I can count. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to fix it, or if it's a lost cause.

I've had my iPod touch 5th gen for a little over 2 years now. a few weeks ago, I went to plug my iPod into the charger. After about 20 minutes I went to go get it so I could reply to texts and clear some notifications and I noticed that it was still at 20%. So I tried a different cord, different outlet, cleaned out any lint that might be in there, and reset the iPod more than once. Nothing worked. Eventually the problem corrected itself. But then it happened again a few days later. And then it happened just recently, and now it's happening again. In total it's happened 4 times, the first 3 times its corrected itself, but this time it's not. I'm not sure if there's anything else I can do, or if it's just a lost cause.

Stolen iPod 5th Gen still traceable if restored and connected to wifi by thief?

My sister's iPod touch 5th Gen has been stolen, and it has been switched off. Find my iPhone was enabled. Is her iPod still traceable even if it is restored to factory settings and is connected to wifi by the thief? I understand they will not be able to get any further than this but I am wondering if her ipod might still be able to be located. Thanks in advance.

My understanding is that it can be restored but not make it past the activation lock that needs my sister's Apple ID. (restored but still unusable). So if this is the case, and a wifi connection is established, can we still trace her iPod even after everyhting has been wiped?

My 3rd generation ipod touch shut off but now won't charge and is not recognized by my computer. All it shows is the black screen with the apple logo. It did this once before and after letting it sit for a day it charged. I tried this again but nothing.

My ipod touch 3rd generation shut off when the battery died. When i tried to charge it but it would not charge and it wasn't recognized by my laptop. This happened once before and it charged after sitting for a day. So I tried it again but it didn't work. I don't know if it is still covered, I got it last july as a replacement for one that broke. Help!! Please!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
