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?

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?

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 mini not turning on

i deperatly need help.
my iPod mini wont turn on. i have it connected to the computer but nothing happends. i pressed the circle for 10 seconds and nothing happens. its a fairly new mini and i didnt drop it and theres no cracks.
what should i do?

try a reset ( it's actually the menu and the middle button together at the same time)
if nothing happens with a reset or resetting when connected to computer, it may need repaired...
you can go to depot.info.apple.com/ipod or go to a local apple store if there is one near you www.apple.com/retail

Try:
- Another cable
- Another USB port
- Reboot the computer
- 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 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.

IPod 4g wont turn on.

My iPod 4G wont turn on for some reason. I was recently play a game with my friend (Finger foos if it matters), and I sent it on my counter to take out the trash. When I came back my iPod screen was black so I assumed it went into idle/sleep mode. When I went to unlock it, nothing happened. I knew that it didn't run out of battery because I had just charged it. So I then tried to turn it on, again, nothing. I have tried all the troubleshooting that I possibly can. I tried connecting it to my conputer, docking clock, ps3, and the wall. Nothing seems to get it to turn on. I also tried resetting it and putting it into DFU mode. Again, nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
Extra: I'm not sure what iOS I have on it, it has been a while since I have updated it. But, my iTunes is the current one. My iPod is proabably 4.2.(somthing), maybe even 3.

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Generally no to the second question. Sometimes updates do correct prolems but I have not heard a freezing problem corrected by an update.

I just got the ios 8 update but now my ipod 5 wont turn on

I just got the IOS 8 update but now my ipod 5 wont turn on.

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

My ipad mini wont turn on what do i do?, my ipad mini wont turn on what do i do?

My Ipad mini wont turn on what do i do?

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
