Ipod mini wont turn on or charge

I really need some help with this one... i recently got my 2nd gen blue ipod mini replaced by apple and the new one they sent worked for approx 3 days and now wont turn on or reset...i figure the battery has run flat but when i plug it into my usb the charging battery comes up on the screen but is stuck on the 1st bar and wont move...i have tried resetting the ipod while it is plugged in but the charging battery symbol goes away for a second and comes back. What do i do?!?!?

It may be that your USB port is not delivering enough power to charge properly. Try an AC adapter or car charger, or USB on another computer.

Ipod mini wont turn on

i got a replacement mini from apple 2 days ago and it is very frustrating. it took many many attempts to get it to even upload songs and now that there are songs on it, it wont turn on. It is fully charged, i have tried resetting it, i have tried to re-update itunes and everything, it still wont work. The only time it turns on is when it is plugged into the computer and the hold switch is on. as soon as i turn the hold switch off so that i can actually scroll to anything, it turns off. PLEASE HELP

Does the computer see it when it's connected? Have you tried Restoring the iPod?

Ipod mini wont turn on or respond

updated to the latest itunes, transferred some songs to ipod mini, properly disconnected an ipod through itunes, unplugged. about 15 minutes later wanted to listen to ipod but it would not turn on. the screen remained blank, tried plugging ipod back to pc, but the screen still stays off, doesn't even charge or anything. I tried reseting ipod without any luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Emin,
Are you resetting correctly?
Did you update iPod Updater to the latest version?
Have you tried to restore your iPod to factory settings?

My ipod mini wont turn on at all no matter what i try

I've tried toggling the hold button while holding down the menu and select buttons, and i've tried a few other things that i have been told to in the situation that my ipod wont turn on, but none of them will work. right now it's hooked up to the usb cable on my computer, and it has been for the last couple days. i think all this might be because ive been too lazy to click eject before i unhook it a couple of times before, but i dont know.

It seems you are not performing the reset correctly. Don't worry about the hold switch...just press and hold menu and select simultaneously for about 6 seconds until you see the Apple logo appear. If you have an AC adapter, plug the iPod into the wall socket using this and then try the reset.

Bad idea! You should always eject it properly or you risk corrupting the hard drive...it would be a shame to have to fork out for another iPod just because of laziness!

Ipod Nano , wont turn off ,displaying "charging" icon instead

Hey y'all
ive been using this ipod nano for a while now,no problems
recently updated it to the newest firmware
anyhow it doesnt turn off now,instead when the stop button is pressed for a few seconds,the screen goes blank then the "charging" icon appears even when the ipod is disconnected
also,when the ipod is working the battery meter doesnt show,
and the "charging" icon is displayed instead
i tried restoring the ipod a few times,no effect
any ideas?

Hi, my ipod nano has exactly the same problem---won't turn off, shows the big charging icon instead, even after resetting it many times, and successfully restoring/updating the firmware to v1.2. It plays music fine, but it won't shut off.
What ever happened at repair shop, did they say what is wrong? Maybe I have to send mine to a repair shop too.
Thanks

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Ipod touch 2nd generation wont turn on or charge

Hello I have an Ipod Touch 2nd Gen and it wont turn on or charge. I have pluged it into a wall 4 days ago and its been charging in multiple outlets (such as computers and walls) and its been displaying a red battery with a lightning symbol. When I unplug it the screen goes black and nothing happens. I have tried holding down the power button but nothing will work. Also when I plug it into a computer it doesnt show up on itunes, as additional info it is a 8gb black ipod touch 2ng gen, no camera, and ios 4.1. Thank you

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod wont turn on nor charge how do i fix this?

ipod wont turn on nor charge how do i fix this?

- First try resetting the iPOd.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect to your computer. If it shows in iTunes restore the iPOd
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.
