My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything.

My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything. It used to do this thing where it would freeze when it was 100% charged and plugged in and I was using it. I'd just unplug it, restart it (home button and top button) and then it would be fine. That had happened like 5 hours prior to me plugging it in again and then it going totally blank.

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 another cable
- 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.

After syncing my iphone to my itunes on my pc, all the music on my phone is gone. I don't have a backup. Is there any way I can get them back?

If you had no other backup....NOPE! However, if you purchased your songs from iTunes, check out: iTunes Store - Finding Lost Music FAQ

AirPlay iOS 8 iPod Touch 5th Generation Not Available?

I have an iPod Touch 5th generation (latest generation) that was purchased just over a year ago. I am currently running iOS 8.0.2, and cannot connect to a third-party AirPlay streaming device (a Raspberry Pi Model B running OpenElec version 4.2.1 with AirPlay enabled). I have tried multiple approaches to fix this issue (uPnP on my router, enabling other connections such as SSH and Samba), but nothing I do will cause any AirPlay options to come up in the control centre. However, when I look on an iPhone 4s, the AirPlay options come up immediately in the control centre, and AirPlay works with my third-party device and the iPhone 4s. Is there a bug within the iOS 8 configuration for the iPod touch, or are my settings set incorrectly?
**Note: AirPlay worked before I updated to iOS 8

Mine works just fine and I didn't have to do anything. However, it may be worth your while to try pairing the devices again, Also, a system reset wouldn't hurt. 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.

Ipod nano 5th generation not recognized by itunes

I just got a new iPod nano and when I connect it, nothing happens. Itdoes not appear in the device list in iTunes. The nano screen says it is connected but I didn't get to even set it up in itunes. I've tried everything on the apple site - uninstalled itunes and then reinstalled, reset the ipod. I just can't restore because the apple site says I need to do that through iTunes, but I can't b/c it's not showing up in the device list. VERY FRUSTRATING!!

Video Ipod 80G 5th generation not being recognized by computer or itunes.

My ipod is not being recognized by my computer or itunes at all. I bought a new cable and nothing happens as well. however when i connect it in my car it works fine. did any resolve this issue? I am not sure if its the new software that has the issue but i am almost certain it is.

Many people are reporting problems with connecting there fifth-gen iPods after the update to iTunes 9. I had the same problem, and when I downgraded to iTunes 8, everything worked again.
I tried cables, resetting, and all the other steps. My solution turned out to be iTunes 9 itself.
My problem came from using a replacement hard drive-an adapter that allows me to retrofit my iPod with a Compact Flash card instead of a hard drive.
The problem is NOT the adapter. This system functioned perfectly until iTunes 9, and when I switched back to iTunes 8, it worked again.
Summary: I have a modded iPod, and it consistently works with iTunes 8, but not iTunes 9.
Reason: Apple is sooooooooooo afraid a Palm Pre user will be able to use iTunes that they are breaking the sync code on purpose.
Downgrading iTunes:
1. find the download of iTunes 8 for your OS. (not posting links, as they may change)
2. go into your iTunes 9, and export EVERY playlist to a text file. This is the only way to preserve your playlists.
3. Uninstall iTunes 9 from you computer, install iTunes 8.
4. Configure iTunes 8 to use your music folder (especially if you moved your music to a different location other than the default)
5. Add your music to iTunes-this may take awhile.
6. Import you text files and your playlists will return.
7. Backup your iTunes 8 library files.
Happily enjoy your modded iPod. Mac Users: Don't accidentally install iTunes 9 from an Apple Update.

Ipod nano 5th generation not supported by iTrip fm transmitter

Hey all! So I have a new ipod, 5th geneneration nano, and an old FM transmitted for my car from iTrip. When I plug it in it says not supported by this device. I heard I can do a software update of some kind to make this work? Just thought I would see what I could do before I bought a new device to use my ipod in my car! Any suggestions?? Thanks!

Hello Wittrockj,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
I don't really have much to offer, but I noticed your alias as "Wittrockj." I find it a bit crazy, because I myself am a Wittrock, and I hardly ever run into to too many. Anyways, nice to meet you.
As to the FM transmitter, have you checked the manufacturer's website or contacted them via telephone or email? They would have a better idea on this sort of thing. Considering the transmitter was released before the iPod, I think your chances are pretty slim when it comes to your Nano being compatible with it.

Ipod touch 5th generation not charging anymore

I got my Ipod for Christmas in 2012 and it was kept in perfect condition until one little drop that shattered the screen about 10 months ago. The drop never affected the performance of the Ipod in anyway. It worked fine until yesterday when I thought my charger started getting faulty. My friend plugged his phone in and it charged perfectly fine and that left me to think that it is either the battery that is old/ breaking or the charging port is messed up. I've cleaned it out and plugged it in but nothing is happening. I plug in the charger and no charging notification shows up.

See what you missed here:
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

IPod touch 5th generation not working right since 8.3 software update.

I am having problems with my iPod 5th generation. Ever since I downloaded the new 8.3 software update when i plug it into my usb in my car my radio is reading my iPod and indexing my car radio will start playing for 23 seconds than it freezes my radio and stays at indexing and when I look at my iPod it's still playing even though the car radio is frozen at the first song it started on. I have no problems with my 4th generation one I plug it into my car and it works fine through my radio it reads that iPod and indexes it and starts playing and stays playing.

There's a couple of things you will want to look at:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of Remote
2. Check your firewall settings on your Mac (in System Preferences > Security) and set it to accept all connections.
3. Remote uses two ports through your router firewall that you may have to enable. See this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1741

IPod touch 5th generation not turning on

Hello, my iPod Touch 5th gen will not turn on. When I woke up, it would not switch on from pressing the home button or holding down the top button. Last night, it was working when I put it on the charger. The only change that I had made to the iPod was that I put the newer model of headphones in and left them there overnight, but I don't think that would have caused any problems.

Ipod Touch 5th Generation 32 Gb was dropped into toilet 3 days ago, has been sitting and occasionally tried to be turned on. Any way to save it?

3 days agoI dropped it in the toilet and then immediately dried it off. I tried to plug it in to my computer to back it up but no go. For the first ten minutes I tried turning it on and off but it would not work. I decided to let it sit and hoped it would work eventually. Now it does nothing. 2 days ago it would make sounds on the lock screen but wouldn't show anything on the screen and when it was connected to my computer at this time my computer said it was malfunctioned. Is there anyway possible to save it now? Or can I send it to Apple to have it fixed for a fee? If I do will it still have all the memory, data, songs, and apps? Sorry for all the questions any information will be helpful.

Place it in a sealed container with uncooked rice for 5 days or so and change the rice periodically.
Then as necessary:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
