Ipod frozen and wont reset or come up when plugged into computer

My Ipod randomly froze, and it is stuck in this weird screen with light green, yellow, pink, and white stripes... I've tried holding the top button nothing happened, I've holding the menu button and top button nothing happened, and I've tried plugging it into my computer and it did not register in Itunes. I have had this Ipod for two years and never once have I ever dropped it or gotten it wet. It is a Ipod touch 4th G.

- Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the article again.
- If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod 5th gen wont charge or turn on when plugged into the wall or on my docking station

I have had my iPod for around a year now and it has been perfectly fine........until now. I came home from work to find my iPod was turned off, I assumed that it had just run out of charge. I plugged it in to charge using the power adapter and nothing happens when I put it to charge on my docking station?
Can anyone help? Or does it look like a new iPod is on the cards?
Thanks

My ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11. Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade. The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini

my ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11. Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade. The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini usb port, but the itunes window does not say it is synching like it has before so whats the culprit? Techno virgin in distress!
PS - I added an iphone5 which is whay these upgrades happened so this synching to the ipod error is since the iphone began synching.

I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!

Hello lorvic9195,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
You can use the following article to troubleshoot your issue with your iPad not booting. I would suggest looking first at the "Power/Battery" section. The "Battery or charging issues" first and then the "Other issues".

Ouch. This is the same question I have. I see months have went by with no response. This probably isn't the best place to go for help, I assume...

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything. Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously. Has anyone had this problem? I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department. Her suggestions: change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers. So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue. It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more. Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department. Make them aware of this problem!

HELP Ipod won't reset or restore or show when plugged into computer

I've done everything it's told me to. From the 5 r's on. My Ipod was playing then stuck, I turned it on and off again and now its frozen in the photo section. I won't do anything, nor will it show up on my PC (windows) when plugged into my computer. HELP....Thanks!

If this is brand new, you might want to think about returning it for an exchange. You shouldn't need to fool around trying to solve this issue with a brand new unit.

My phone needs to be restored and wont work when plugged into computer..help!!

I recently had water damage and dried the phone out. Now it will not turn on unless plugged into wall outlet and it tells me to restore with itunes...I go to plug into computer and does not work...why is this?

How can you not know your Apple ID?
You can recover it at https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
If you can not recover it there, you will have to call AppleCare and speak to someone in account security.

When plugged into computer a song started skipping, pressed pause but ipod sounds makes a clicking sound. Eventually goes to black screen with red cross. Cannot reset it and doesn't register on my computer.

I had my iPod plugged into my computer and was playing the songs from there. One song started skipping so I pressed the pause button, the ipod kept making a clicking sound like it was still struggling to play the song, eventually went to a black screen with a red cross with apple.com/support/ipod underneath. Have tried to reset it but does not work, comes up with apple logo and immediately makes the clicking sound and then crashes.
Is there anyway I can get my music and photos off?? I just got a new computer and had lost everything on my old one so only have the songs and photos on my ipod, desperately want to get them on to my computer.

You may have damaged the HDD which is located in that spot. I would take it in for service.
