IPod 5th Gen. froze, shutdown, and won't charge how do I fix it?

Please help me figure out what to do to fix my iPod 5th Generation. I put it on the charger, and when I came to check on it, it froze, then shutdown, now it won't charge or nothing. I tried rebooting it an nothing happened, please help me!

All you need to do to solve this problem is to hold down the lock and home buttons at the same time and count slowly to 15. That's called a hard reset and it should reboot the phone out of the black screen funk. Give it a try - it should work. If it doesn't, bring it to the Apple Store. Good luck!

    I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore).  Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data. 
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • IPod 5th Gen Button Jammed and Won't Turn On

    Hello! I have a small predicament and am unable to find the solution.
    Yesterday I was watching a  movie and suddenly my iPod wouldn't turn on! It was more than half way full on battery and working fine before! Now, the screen is black, my PC won't recognize it at all, and I can't get it to work! It won't charge either.
    I have done some research and people with similar "black screen" problems usually are told to hold the power button and the home button together for various amounts of time, but my home button is jammed in! It's lost it's function and appears to be always pressed in. So I am unable to do this "reset" thing.
    Now I'm incredibly frustrated. Any help?

    Try:
    Turn on without Home/Power Button

    - Have you tried disabling Avast and Spybot?
    - Have yu tried everthing here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - Do you have another computer to try to help determine if it is a computer or iPod problem?
    - The Nano uses a different iOS so it not a good comparison.

  • IPod 5th Gen constantly resets and is not detected

    My iPod 5th Gen erased all my music and constantly resets when plugged in.  I've searched far and wide through support to no avail so I look to the community to aid my quest to load music to my iPod again.  Thanks in advance for the help!
    Situation:
    - music and all data erased suddenly and is currently in factory settings
    - when iPod is plugged in to computer, the iPod screen shows (in order):
         ° "connected, eject before disconnecting" (~5 seconds)
         ° off screen, completely blank (~1 second)
         ° apple logo appears as if restored (~5 seconds)
         ° repeat perpetually
    Attempted Remedies and Scenarios:
    - restore iPod via select / menu buttons
    - try running Disc Mode via select / play buttons
    - restore iPod via iTunes (cannot attempt because it is not detected under devices)
    - reformat and erase all data in iPod via iTunes (cannot attempt because it is not detected under devices)
    - reformat iPod via Disk Utility (iPod is not detected on Mac so cannot select)
    - attempted all of the above with the following variables:
         ° with pc running Windows 7, iTunes current
         ° with Mac mini running Mavericks, iTunes current
         ° with Macbook Air running Mavericks, iTunes current
         ° tried all USB ports on all above computers
         ° tried 2 separate 30-pin USB cables (both USB cables work with my iPhone 4s)
         ° iPod is fully charged
         ° restart all computers

    Hi everyone..  just found the solution... conveniently after I start a thread.  Turns out that my iPod nano had converted all 7.3GB of my 8GB into "Other" space and reset all my settings.
    Solution is as follows:
    - run disc mode while plugged-in (running Macbook Air)
    - restore dialog box appears via iTunes while in disc mode
    - restore iPod nano
    - upload music
    - enjoy

  • My iPod 5th Gen (2005-06) will not accept charge when I need to update it. What do I do?

    I was recently given an old iPod (5th gen from 2005-06) and I went to update and iTunes told me to charge it on a wall socket to complete the update, however when I plug it in it no longer receives power. It did before the update but now it doesn't and my iPod no longer works. All it does is display an image of a plug going into a wall socket.

  • Three iPods... all dead and won't charge

    I need some serious help. My 30Gb iPod, 2 weeks old, won't charge. My daughter's 2 month old 2nd gen Nano won't charge. My son's 11 month old 1st gen Nano won't charge. I have become quite proficient in managing the iPods. I have had to do a few resets on my 30Gb, but that's it. However, beginning yesterday, none of them will charge.
    I have 2 AC chargers (Apple, of course) and 3 different USB cords. I have 2 Dell Dimension desktops, both relatively new and up to date on all Windows updates. The computers would recognize my son's iPod yesterday (but not my 30Gb or my daughter's Nano), but it wouldn't recharge via the USB cables.
    I alternated all 3 USB cables on each computer, as well as the AC chargers. I tried 5 different AC outlets, and tested the AC outlets by charging my cell phones on them. I also tested the USB connections on my desktops by charging a digital camera.. no problems with the camera.
    My son's 1st Gen is the only one that shows any signs of life. It will infrequently flicker and say something like, "Please wait, low battery". Yesterday, it would say it was charging, but it never charged up and it eventually ground itself down into this sad state.
    I have no clue as to what happened with mine. It was well protected in my purse, about half the battery charge left, when I last used it. I pulled it out yesterday to update via iTunes, and it was so dead the computer wouldn't recognize it.
    Daughter was listening to hers yesterday, and the battery discharged. It's been dead ever since.
    I have all the latest Windows updates, reinstalled iTunes, and tried every reset option known to man. I don't know what else to do at this point, and I REALLY hate to package up all three of them and send them to Apple.
    Any suggestions? Help!!!!!
    Dell Dimension E510 (2)   Windows XP Pro  

    I had the same problem with my old original iPad 1.  I read somewhere (maybe even in this forum) to try a 12-watt charger.  I bought the Apple 12-Watt power adapter on Amazon for 19.95 (also available at Apple stores for the same price) and plugged that iPad in today and it IS charging and everything on it is accessible!!  I am amazed and thrilled!  I wasn't optimistic with this fix, but it sure worked!  You might want to try it, too.  BTW...everything is still there..no restore needed.

  • I can't open my work web site it lets me go right to the login page and won't open how can I fix this

    To see whether this problem is caused by the new HTML5 parser feature in Firefox 4, you can turn it off like this:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''html5''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle it to false (it will turn bold).
    Then return to your work site and reload the page.
    Does that make any difference? If so, you can leave it that way. If not, you might as well switch it back (double-click that preference again to toggle it back to true.)
    If not, and you need to roll back, here's the process:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 4.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
    Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPod touch again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and make a manual backup
