IPod does not charge or turn on but is recognized in Windows and iTunes

A couple of days ago after disconnecting my iPod in iTunes the iPod display went blank. It will not turn on nor will it display if it is charging if it is connected to the wall power adapter. I tried reseting it and I let it sit for 24 hours like the apples website said and nothing happened. What did happen is that Windoes recognizes it and so does iTunes and the hard drive spins and is acessible. I let reset it and let it sit another 24 hours and it still does not turn on nor will the power adapter recognize it. The display does not appear broken and it physically looks good.
Any ideas?

The only thing you haven't mentioned is whether you've tried to restore it. If that doesn't work, it looks like it will need service.
Restoring the iPod to factory settings.
Put the iPod into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Restoring erases the iPod hard drive, so you will need to reload your songs from iTunes.

    My ipod is not starting its turn on but looks like sync. and does not stop and screen is black

    Try:

    - 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.

    You might have to bite the bullet and restore the device if nothing else works. If that doesn't bring it back to life, make an appointment at an Apple Store and let take a look at it.

  • After two days Ipad is completely dead does not charge or turn on

    Purchased new ipad with retina display and was working fine til tried to turn on today and nothing. does not charge or turn on HELP!!!

    If you did run the battery totally down, it can take at least half an hour after you plug it in before it shows any signs of life.
    ANd in trying to recharge it, are you plugging it into the wall with its supplied charger? If you're trying via USB then it may take hours and hours before it shows any sign of charging. Most USB ports don't put out enough power to meet the iPad's power requirements.

    Sometimes my ipod does not down load my entire library when I sync up with itunes, even if I have items loaded in the play list and can see them in the play list in my itunes when I check my ipod play list some items are missing part 1 will be there but part two is not. Why?????

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

    Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • Help my Ipod will not charge or turn on.

    My Ipod touch will not charge, or turn on.  First it was just giving me the apple logo, then I attempted to restore, but a message appeared an error occurred(9).  I went to error code 9 and did what was suggested and it still does not work.

    Did you try restoring on another computer as recommended by:
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • IPhone 4 does not charge, or turn on.

    My brother gave me his iPhone 4.  He told me it has power issues but it don't turn on, it does not take a charge.  I've seen videos and post about people and there iPhone 4 has the "Blank Screen of Death".  I cannot reboot the iPhone 4.  I'm sure you have to do something like hold the power button and the home button but it don't work.  Can someone tell me how exactly how to do this because it's very confusing.  The iPhone 4 was last turned on last month but it just shut off and stopped working and stopped charging.  I need someone to tell me how to resolve this because I don't have time to go into a Apple Store or AT&T Store.  I'm barrowing a charger from a friend and it is a Belkin iPod/iPhone Charger. It may have soemthing to do with it.  Does the iPhone 4 charger different from any other older model iPhone?  I need someone to help me.  Thanks!

    This happened with my 3GS. What I did is master default it, to do that hold down the lock screen key and the home key at the same time. The little apple symbol should pop up. For some reason, it just shut itself off and wouldn't do anything. Holding down both, from what I understand, kind of resets it without deleting anything. It worked with mine, I hope this helps with yours!

    Hard Reset the  iPod  as below- this does not delete or erase any song or data.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
