IPod on iPhone won't start up

The iPod on my 3g iPhone won't start up. I touch the button and the iPod begins to "start up". The screen goes white like it's loading and then nothing happens, until finally it returns me to the home screen. I've tried accessing the iPod from the bottom row button, from iTunes on the phone, and by double-pressing the Home button. I have turned the phone off and then back on. I've held the Home button for 6 seconds, and I've also done a reset with the Home and Sleep buttons.
Any ideas?
The other night it worked fine. I accessed the iPod and found a song I was discussing with a friend. I went to bed, woke up, and the iPod wouldn't load/open. It hadn't been charged or synched. No app or song downloads in between uses. No drops, no damage, nothing. I have an 8 gig and I have less than 1 gig of space left free. Could this be hampering the iPod launch?
Thank you.

You'll have to reinstall the iPhone's firmware. Open iTunes up, right click on the iPhone on the left hand side and select backup. The backup has been adjusted in iTunes so that it will also backup your camera roll, but if I were you I would make a copy of all your pictures just in case. After the backup finishes, click on the Restore button on the iPhone home page in iTunes. After the reinstall, it will prompt you to restore your backup to your iPhone. After the backup is restored, sync your iPhone with iTunes and all your data will be back on the iPhone.
Let me know how it works for you.

HT4235 my ipod and iphone won't sync to my pc how do I fix this issue?

My IPOD and IPHONE won't sync to my pc I have uninstalled and then reinstalled ITUNES still not fixed any one out there who can help me?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
In the new itunes the device is listed at the top of the screen. Are you simply overlooking it?

When I try starting my iPod touch, it won't start; the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds, and then, it just shuts off. I tried to charge it through an outlet; the iPod didn't even charge, so I tried to restore my settings on my computer. iTunes won't

when i try starting my IPod it won't start, the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds,and then. it just shut off . I tried to charged it through an outlet, the IPod didn't eve charger so I tried to restore my setting in my computer, i tunes won't

But that requires the computer to see the ipod. I am having the same problem and I keep being told to restore it, but you have to either get the ipod to turn on or have the computer see it in order to so that. Right now I have a pretty useless 32GB ipod touch cos I cant get the thing to turn on! I can only get the apple logo for like maybe 20 seconds and it goes away. Ive charged it for days on a wall charger, on the computer usb charger, and on a speaker charger. Nothing works.

My iphone won't start at all and slowly started to fade out

my iphone won't charge from Dec 31 midnight. well first it was freezing, and i lock it then i plug the charger. but it doesn't turn on until morning - right now actually. i already restore it and it was working but it freeze again! i reboot it over and over but black dots started to show up and the screen started to fade out. according to my experience, the screen were burned. is it means that i should go to the store for fixing it or i should get a new phone? HELP!

Did you try booting into your Recovery partition? Hold down the command and R keys whilst booting and if you can get to your Recovery partition use Disk Utility to verify your disk and, if needed, repair the disk.
If it can't be repaired, then it's likely dying.

4th gen. iPod touch suddenly won't start up again?

Hey all, hopefully someone can help me out.
My iPod was working perfectly up until an hour ago, and for some reason won't start up again. I've looked at the various tips, holding the power button for 10 seconds, but it still won't start up. Help would be greatly appreciated!

I have the same problem. I bought it 5 months ago, and just used it when I was at home. I take very good care of it. No accidental damage or misuse. But it suddenly can not start up. So I sent my ipod touch to Apple store. To my disappointed, they can not do anything.They do not want to take their responsibility.
Below is the email they sent to me.
Thank you for choosing AppleCare Service.
Your IPOD TOUCH (4TH GENERATION) has been inspected by Apple technicians, who have determined that it has been subjected to accidental damage or misuse, which is not covered by the warranty, the AppleCare Protection Plan, or other Apple repair program. Therefore your original product is being returned to you unrepaired
So ridiculous and irresponsible
Hope someone can help me.

My iphone won't start up?!?!

Why won't my iphone start up it got spilled on and the screen works but it won't start up.

From the Support FAQ:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/#repair3
*Can I get my iPhone serviced outside the country of purchase?*
No, service for eligible repairs is only available in the country where your iPhone was originally purchased.
I agree with A Mitchell about trying a restore in iTunes.

The iPhone won't start anymore

my iphone 4 wont start anymore

try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

HT4235 Ipod and iphone won't connect to computer. Computer says that it is receiving wrong information, Can there be another way to connect?

Ipod and iphone say that they cannot connect when trying to sync with itunes through my computer. Only answer is that the computer says that it is receiving an invalid response from the phone and ipad. Is there an answer?

Try downloading the current iTunes installation and reinstall it over the existing.
Even though it worked previously with your iPhone, connecting via a USB hub is not recommended.

Iphone won't start after crash

My iPhone 4S crashed and restarted but fails to wake up. It restarts but then stops and restarts again. It won't stop until the battery is dead but does the same as soon as I plug it in.
Can I wipe and reset to factory without connecting it?

My iPhone 4 just crashed. It happened a few days ago, and then started working fine. But once again it crashed yesterday. It took me 2 hours for itunes to finally recognize it so I was able to restore it. It worked fine for an hour and crashed again, now it will not start up at all. The screen went from the regular black with the apple logo to now flickering and acting crazy. Ive had this phone since August as a replacement from my old iphone 4. I'm not impressed. It's in perfect shape, i have not dropped it or got water into it. I have an appointment with Apple today in hopes they'll have some sympathy and simply replace the phone since the phone they gave me refurbished was defective (the sound stopped working a few months ago) I refuse to pay a cent for an iPhone 4 to be repaired. Depending on how they act today, will be the decision of whether I stay with Apple or move to Android.

IPod on iPhone won't shuffle.

My iPod on my iPhone 3G won't shuffle, just keeps playing the same song unless I manually change it.

Turn off repeat.
This is covered in the manual:
iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)
Tap the screen when the song is playing, tap the repeat button until it is white = off
