Ipod crash(wont start up)

Hello,
I was playing the sims city app and I ran out of power and it shutdown like it usually does when it runs out. When I hooked it up to my charger it turned on but the screen was all white. this happened before but when I hooked it up to Itunes it went back to normal so I tried this again.But still the screen stayed white everything synced and backedup right but the IPod still wont work. Please help me fix this problem
Thank You :]

I tried to restore my Ipod to see if that would help but it said error then it gave me the option to send a message to apple about it so I did but right now Im stumped. also ive noticed that im not the only one having this problem so it might have to do with the hardware on my ipod then all the sudden my ipod wont even turn white anymore and it cant tuen on and when i plug it in my computer cant recognize what it is PLEASSE help

IPod Touch, wont start up or connect to comp

It simply wont start up. i press and hold the menu button and the lock button, the screen goes black for a second then goes back to the apple logo screen with the black background. Nothing happens when i connect it to my mac either. What to do?

Okay..my ipod is really getting on my nerves. At random moments it will cut off and go into recovery mode and says it must be connected to itunes. I have tried hologn down the home button and connecting it but that does not work. And when i hold down the home and off/on button it still doesnt work. When i conenct it to itunes it usually doesn't even show up. And when it does it says that it is being restored, then it says there was an error and it couldnt be restored. I have the lasted ipodtouch update, and i dont know what to do.

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 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.

Ipod Touch wont start or turned on

I received a brand new Ipod touch as a gift. I bought a protective leather cover and screen protector to keep it safe. I used it for a month and one day I place it back after using it and it never started next day. I tried every possible way on the apple site to trouble shoot it, from holding the ON botton and home bottom from 10-60 seconds in the span of a 3 weeks multiple times. I tried to use 5 USB ports and connected directly to a desktop to ensure it is charging properly. I even borrowed another charging/sync cable to check if the one I have is faulty....Bottom line... couldn't turn my Ipod ON. What are my options, my Ipod is brand new and few months old. Please help

It wont even turn on despite all kind of known trouble shooting of holding bottons, charging, swtiching the USB ports and computer and changing the chanrging cable...Every known trouble shoot, I could fine on the apple site.

IPod Touch wont start up once ran out of battery

This is the second time this has happened. I was just watching videos on YouTube when the battery ran completely out. The next morning I plugged the iPod Touch 2G into my mac but nothing happened for about 5 mins. until it started to flash the apple logo, and then go back to black, then the apple logo etc.
I managed to force it into restore mode but is my iPod a faulty one? Has this happened to anyone else?

Ipod classic wont start up or reset after sleeping mode

Hi. I've just got a new iPod Classic 160Gb, one week old. Everything is fine except that it won't turn on after sleep mode is on. I cant do the restart. The iPod somehow does not response to the menu+start buttons at the same time. It however wakes to live when I plug it to the computer. But when not in use and after it enters sleeping mode I still cannot turn it on. The only option again is to plug it to the computer. This is not right...?? It has the latest software and I have reset to original setup through iTunes.
Anyone know how I could solve this problem? Could this be a hardware fault?

Hi, did you ever find a fix for this? My iPod Classic has just done the exact same thing - red X, won't be detected on Windows, and won't go into disk mode (will go into Config mode, but I can't see anything in that mode that will help).
Would really like to be able to put this into disk mode so I can try to restore my files...

Please help ! - iPOD 20GB Wont Start OR Update OR Format.

When i try to turn my iPOD 20gb on it comes up with a folder and a exclamation mark with a link, then shuts straight back down. i have downloaded latest software and when i try ti use it i can only RESTORE. When i try to RESTORE the bar does not fill up. then an error message comes up saying cannot mount iPOD.
I do not have the option to update.
Please please help.

additional info
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC

My 4th Gen. Ipod touch wont start up.....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!1

My ipod touch just turned off one day and it seemed like the battery just died so I thought nothing of it. Later I plugged it in to be charged. Ever since no matter where I plug it in it shows the battery life, which is completely drained, and the plug in lightning bolt sign. Ive tried about 5 different cords plugged into lots of different outlets and computers. I logged into my itunes account and everything i've done hasn't fixed it. Any advice?

My ipod is displying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesnt "see" it even if the computer does.

"My ipod is displaying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does."
It worked two days ago fine, for two years, until I installed this newest iTunes update, then for one day it kept on freezing and going to apple logo screen mode, then today it only goes to that screen and wont start up at all.
I've tried the hold down two buttons hard reset, that doesn't help. I've tried disc mode... but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does.
This is a pristine ipod, never exposed to adverse conditions, never dropped, never wet, and it worked perfectly two days ago.
Can I factory reset it somehow? (considering itunes can't "see" it)
[Ipod classic 160gb less than two years old.]

Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
R.O:
"Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.
