IPod not turning on and not being recognized by PC

I have got a 2nd gen iPod nano 2gb, and have had it just over 2 weeks. I have used already and it had music on it. I attempt to use it in the morning and it wouldnt turn on. i connected it to my PC (Windows XP Pro) and it wouldnt recognize it. I haven't used iTunes as it refused to luanch on my PC, instead i have used realplayer. I have tried connecting it to every USB pot on my PC and it didn't recognize on any. I have attempted to restore it however it hasnt worked. Any ideas anyone?

If you have never used iTunes then I am not sure how you have tried to restore the iPod since you must use iTunes to restore. You need to try and get iTunes to work on your PC so that you can do a restore or if anyone that you know has iTunes 7 on their computer you can try and use theirs to do a restore.

My ipad air is not turning on and not responding to charger

My ipad is not turning on and not responding to charger. I was using my ipad and then suddenly it had the apple sign and it just stayed like that and then I put the charger in it and it stayed the same with the apple sign. I tried turning it on and off and pressing the home button but nothing seemed to work. It just stayed the same with the apple sign. I'm really worried bc I just got this now for christmas and I'm worried I might have done something. So can you please help ASAP. Thanks , it would really help.

Thank you. I will try your tip. And if it works, I'll give you 10 points . But now its been charging for hours and its still the same . But thank you!

Why does my ipod touch turn off and not turn on for a while

every once in a while my ipod touch turns off and wont turn back on for a day or two. So why does it do this, it is from over use of the ipod?

Try the following fixes in order:
- Reset:
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.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod
If yo still have the problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Xperia S not turning on and not charging... Please Help...

I bought this xperia s phone on last year feb (2013). After two month of purchasing one day it turned off and was not turning on... After several atempt some how it turned on and i suddenly reinstalled android os using pc companion repair wizard. After that everything was ok.... But last week it showed the same problem... First symptom was turning off frequently without any reason... Then it showed battery drained even after full charging... and atlast now it is not turning on and while connecting charger led turns on without any display... And after some time it displays sony logo and charging symbol with red color in the center of screen without that z symbol inside that... Then i tried power button + vol up button... sometime it works and phone will reboot, but when it reaches lock screen touch is not working and it shows 0% charge and it will shutdown... Sorry for bad english... Someone please help...

My problem is when first charger connected it will go through low battery level charging mode. After few minutes it will start Kernel controlled off-line charging mode. But there is no Z symbol inside that battery... , it comes only with red low battery indication... It shows not charging just like below pic...

Ipod shuffle not turning on and not even charging now...

Okay I just went to turn on my Ipod shuffle (Second generation) and it won't turn on! I tryed charging it and the green light was on but wasn't blinking.. then after like 10 minutes it went off and now it won't even go on. It still won't turn on and it's not that old. I got it at Christmas. Some one help me please. >_<. And if any one feels like it and gets time could you dfo me the big favor of e-mailing me the answer at [email protected]? Thanks a lot everyone.

Okay.. Well.... I wrote above (Second Generation).
And the LED light has always blinked green when I've
put it into the charger. The only time Ipod shuffle
isn't suppsoed to blink is when inserted into a non
high speed USB port. I'm using the same USB port I've
been using. So I have no clue what's wrong. It was
raining yesterday and it may have gotten a little wet
but not more then a few drops and I don't think that
should be the prtoblem as others have washed theres
by accident before.
Please tell me how the following description of status light behavior of the 1st Gen shuffle matches what you've said above:
from page 16 of the iPod shuffle User Guide:
To charge the iPod shuffle battery:
Remove the USB cap and connect iPod shuffle to a high-power USB port on your computer. The battery status light on the back of iPod shuffle turns on. The iPod shuffle battery is 80-percent charged in about two hours, and fully charged in about four hours.
When the battery is charging, the iPod shuffle status light is amber. When the battery is fully charged, the light is green until you disconnect iPod shuffle. If you don’t see the status light, try another USB port on your computer. Note:
If iPod shuffle is being used as a disk (see page 18), the status light blinks amber continuously.
Here's the 2nd Gen shuffle version:
When the battery is charging, the status light on iPod shuffle is orange. When the battery is fully charged, the status light turns green.
Note: If iPod shuffle is being used as a disk (see page 19) or if iTunes is loading songs or settings onto iPod shuffle, the status light blinks orange...

try putting your ipod touch into dfu mode by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 10 seconds, then let go of the sleep/wake button (make sure it is connected to your computer) and continue to hold the home button for 10 to 15 seconds or until itunes reads it as an ipod touch in recovery mode that needs to be restored, if you need more help on this just go to youtube and type in dfu mode in the search field

My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help! Not sure of the generation of iPod shuffle, I think 3rd.

first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service.

My iPod does not turn on and it is not recognized by my laptop in iTunes... What can I do?

My iPod does not turn on and it is not recognized by my laptop in iTunes... What can I do?
Model iPod 2 Touch, 8G, It stoped working less than a month after it was purchased but I never sent it back for repairs or warranty to Apple.. Is there still a way to repair it on my own. It just simply does not turn on or charge and it is not recognized by iTunes when I plug it in to my MacBook Pro.
Please advise...

Try:
- 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. The appointment is free.

My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.
