IPod no longer turning on

My second gen. iPod nano is no longer turning on. I tried charging it, not only on my computer, but also I plugged it into a wall charger. I even tried reseting it, by using the menu and middle button thing, and nothing is happening. I tried pressing the play button, and making a song play, and scrolling the wheel to make the volume at max, in case its just the screen thats not working, and nothing. No sound. My headphones work, because I tried them on a friends iPod. Is it time to just replace it, and get a new one, or is there still a way to fix it?

That is correct. You can still backup to iTunes manually. See:

  • My ipod no longer turns on, what can i do?

Then it began to jump to the next song in the middle of a song, no it shows a black screen and wont turn on. i charged it, and plugged it into the computer. the computer didnt register it. what can i do? i have tried resetting it.

    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.
    - 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 no longer turns on and is not recognized by computer

    My ipod ran out of battery about two weeks ago. When I tried to charge it again with my wall charger, the ipod did not recognize that it was charging. No light came on or screen changed to show that it was charging. The back of the ipod felt warm but that was about it. I then tried a different cord to charge it with my computer. The same thing happened (the screen stayed blank and looked turned off) and when I did a reset on the Ipod my itunes said it could not recognize the ipod. PLEASE HELP.
    It is a second gen. red ipod nano. It hasn't had water damage or been dropped. I have no idea what could have happened. Thanks

  • ?ipod no longer turns off by pressing and holding play/pause on click whee

    ipod had turned off before, but now cannot turn it off. It continues to stay on. I've tried to use hold switch to see if that helps, but ipod still won't turn off, and it uses up my battery. hold play/pause button doesn't seem to work?

    Did you try resetting it? I had the same problem with my 30gb video and it worked.

  • My ipod touch will no longer turn on!  help!

    I have followed every possible steps apple has suggested to reset and restore my ipod.  It started with forgetting my passcode and being disabled.  So i connected it to itunes as it suggested.  I updated, restored, and it went in to recovery mode, and thats the last i had seen my ipod on.  Now when it does turn on, it gives me the icon to "plug it in".  nothing more.  ive turned it off, turned it on, updated the software, reconnected it, changed security settings, you name it, an at first it no didnt recognise my ipod?
    it just simply remains inoperable. someone please help, tell me there is hope and i understand if i have to lose my music, i can always start over.   my concern is why im repeating steps 1-5 over and over?  it just doesnt even turn off correctly.  Itunes continued to give me the option to restore it, and i went to the password help section, and to no avail.  Itunes now no longer even "pops up" as it reads to hold down the "home" button, as it was one of the many steps it suggested.
    Im dying here, I dont understand how plain english, step by step directions, are no longer working.  my ipod doesnt even indicate the battery is charging when plugged in. 
    has the life of my ipod no longer exist with this software? is that a possibility?  its and oldie, but goodie, when ipods first came out. 
    thanks in advance for any one who can master this problem for me.  i dont have the money to get some tech over the phone to provide the same steps, i have already exhausted on my end.

    Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
    If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:

    If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

  • My iPod will no longer turn on after I fully charged it. HELP!

    I knew I should have never trusted Apple with personal files. I put all of my pictures from my digital camera (1,800 of them) on the ipod for "safe" keeping. Now my ipod will no longer turn on. I fully charged the ipod until the "charged" icon appeared. Then I disconnected it. A couple hours later I tried to turn it on and it no longer turns on. I've had this iPod for about 6 months and I'm pretty sure it's not a dead battery. It's been very good with me. The hold switch is NOT activated. I went through all of the common sense troubleshooting steps. I tried to reset the ipod. I tried recharging it on AC power. I tried reconnecting it via USB on computer. I tried the updater, which doesn't work b/c ipod won't turn on. I've also tried hitting it...jk. I also have 10,330 songs on here. This is my life on my ipod. I can't afford to lose this info. 60GB gone. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

  • My daughter's ipod touch got hot while charging and will no longer turn on.

    My daugther's ipod touch got hot and will no longer turn on.  Is there a solution to this problem or is the ipod fried?

    I'm not sure if it's fried or not, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds or so. Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.

  • I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it?

    Hi, I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. I've tried everything! All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it? All I want are my contacts and my old calendar back. These did not sync with iTunes like my photos, music, and video. I can probably get an older, replacement iPod, but I don't want to have to readd all my important dates and reminders, as well as contact information. I guess I have two questions:
    1) is there a way to get my ipod to start working again?
    2) is there a way to get my old contacts and calendar back again?

    Try here:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

  • My ipod nano 7g went off and will not start, this happened after I connect to my computer, my ipod will restart and I no longer turn on. I do?

    please help me my ipod nano 7g went off and will not start, this happened after I connect to my computer, my ipod will restart and I no longer turn on. what I do?

    Hey saintbless,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines troubleshooting information for iPod nano. While it mostly refers to the 6th generation, most steps apply for your model as well:
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting

    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    - Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    - If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
    - If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    - If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • IPod no longer mounts since Leopard upgrade

    My iPod no longer mounts since I upgraded to Leopard. I'm using a USB 2 port that's part of a third party PCI card I installed myself. Used to work fine before the Mac OS upgrade.
    If I reboot with the iPod already plugged in, it mounts.
    Help?

    Forgot to mention that I had tried those:
    Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
    -> Yep, I'm the admin
    Authorize using the correct account name
    -> Nothing changed- I am only authorizing my devices, and only use my account on the machine. Definitely using the right account name.
    Turn Off User Account Controls (Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only)
    -> Did this a long, long time ago, so definitely not the issue.
    Remove the SC Info folder
    -> This was the only new thing that I had seen yesterday when I tried it, and went through these steps, to no avail. Still exactly the same problem. I closed iTunes, deleted the folder, rebooted and relaunched iTunes and synced the device. Same thing.
    The problem is the computer IS authorized, and I can sync one device, but not the other. No problem with iPhone 4- just iPod Touch, 3rd gen. It seems to be in a weird state.
    One thing would lead me to believe it's a PC/iTunes problem, but then it is only with one device and not the other. Hard to point to the root of the problem. I just don't want to lose the data on the iPod- I've done a lot of work on it.
    Thanks,
    Jeff
