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 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 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 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.

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.

1st Gen. iPod touch wont turn on. Home button doesn't work. Can't reset.

Hi there. My 1st generation iPod touch wont turn on. The battery has drained completely, and the few times this happened in the past, I could just reset it by holding the home and top buttons, the iPod would turn on, I could plug it in, and then it would charge--no problems. However, now the home button does not work, so I cannot reset it. When I plug it in to the charger, the Apple logo appears for about 20 seconds, then disappears. Also, if I hold the top button for about 2 seconds, the same thing happens (Apple logo appears for about 20 seconds, then disappears). So, it doesn't turn on, wont reset due to the home button not working, and can't connect to the computer or iTunes. However, it still has some life in it because the Apple logo always appears when it's plugged in or when I hold the top button. Can anybody help? Thanks.

If the iPod still has its original battery, it could be that the battery finally bit the dust.

Ipod nano wont turn on!!! Please help I'am desperate! :(

By mistake, i dropped my ipod on the floor and seconds later i tried turning it on and it wont turn on at all. I tried restoring it by pressing the menu and select button and i toggeled with the hold button for several minutes. I got this ipod a year ago ,but my 1 year apple warrenty just expired and the "apple operator" led me to this discussions web site. The screen is not cracked or chipped,but it simply wont turn on!! When i plug my ipod into the computer, itunes doesn't not show up and when i open(itunes) it manually it stays the same. Also, i tried charging it overnight and the ipod still wont turn on. Someoen said i have to buy another battery for the ipod?? ( I have no idea!) Any suggestions?? Should i just buy another one?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!!!

I'd say that the iPod is toast.
Easiest thing at this point would be to get the iPod repaired through Apple ($99), or to get a new unit.

Ipod mini keeps turning itself on and playing

Hi,
Hopin gsomeone can help me here. My iPod mini keeps turning itself on and playing..thus running down the battery overnight. I've checked that the alarm clock is set to OFF. I turn the iPod off, put Lock on the keypad and in the morning, it's turned on and playing. Any ideas for me?
Thanks!
Val

Did you also check the calendar alarm?

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.

Ipod mini keeps turning itself on???????

My 4GB ipod mini keeps turning itself on. It does this even when it is locked. This is a real pain as it keeps running the battery completely flat.
Can anyone suggest why this happens & how to stop it?
Many thanks.

Your welcome. Another thing I ought to have mentioned is to check calendar events also. : )

My iPod mini keeps turning itself on.

Well my iPod mini keeps turning itself on although i've turned it off and put it on hold. It's draining the battery and it's annoying me as when i go to use it i can't because the battery is flat. Does anyone know why it's doing this and can help me please?

Sounds like an alarm is set.
Go to Extras>Clock>Alarm Clock and turn off the alarm.
