Ipod randomly died and won't turn on again HELP!

The other day I was walking home and I looked down at my Ipod and the screen was slowly fading. Within about 30 seconds the screen completely faded to nothing yet the song kept playing. I let the song play to the end thinking the screen would come back and when the song stopped the Ipod was dead. No new song began playing and the Ipod is unresponsive. It won't even respond when it sits on the dock. I don't think it should be the battery since I just replaced the battery by myself about a month ago. This is a refurbished Ipod and replacing the battery is all I have done since its purchase in January. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! Has my crappy refurb-pod finally played its last song? It didn't even last 6 months....

Oh, I'm sorry about this. I didn't know I was supposed to do a follow-up like this. This is kind of embarrassing...
Anyway, like I said, I did find a way to fix it myself.
Um, and the mods or admins can go ahead and delete this topic if it needs to be.
Thanks guys. :3

My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again.What should i do?

My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again. I tried charging it and do it again...When i charge it , it opens the " Connect to iTunes" , when i switch to the computer to connect it , it doesn't work... It starts to the apple screen , and then just shuts down again. I tried holding the home and sleep/wake button at the same time..I tried everything. What should i do?

Your iPhone is going back and forth between recovery mode and powering on which is really strange.
Have you tried a hardware reset while its connected to your computer? This will force it back into recovery mode so that you can restore it. If restoring and setting up as new doesn't help, go ahead and take it to an Apple Store for a replacement

Have you tried forcing a reboot? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see a silver apple it's rebooting.

My ipod just died, it won't turn on or reset and itunes wont recognize the device..SOS

It was running low on battery so I plugged it while I was in my car, and when the screen went off I tried to use the ipod again and it never turn on again. I tried plugging it to my computer but it never detected the device. What should I do? Im freaking out.

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.
- 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 MacBook Pro died and won't turn on

My MacBook was playing music and suddenly started skipping the song. It then died - black screen and won't turn on. The little button on the bottom left side still allows the tiny circles of green to come on, but no sound, no nothing on the screen.

My phone died and won't turn on

The battery was at approximatley 70% when I answered an incoming call. Two to three minutes into the call the phone shut off and won't turn back on. I've tried holding down the button on top of the phone and the round button button on the face of the phone near the bottom, but cannot get it to turn back on or respond at all. Verizon has no other advice. It appears my contacts are stored in an iCloud, but nothing else. Anyone have any thoughts on turning the phone back on?

Some of the things you can try are, in order,
1) Try to plug in the iPhone to a power source and wait for atleast 15 minutes, note if it gets warm or not.
2) Try to plug it into your computer, start up iTunes, if your device has somehow entered a DFU state, iTunes will tell you.
3) (Timing is important for this one) Hold the Power button for 5 seconds, after that, hold both HOME and POWER buttons for 15 seconds, or till when you see the Apple icon light up. If it does not, leave all buttons except HOME.
Leave it after 10 seconds if nothing happens.
4) If nothing works out, please post if it was getting warm while plugged in, and if iTunes reported it's state.

My phone overheated and won't turn on again

I had my phone on charger when I went to bed and once I woke up i unlocked it to check the battery status, everything was cool so I swiped to unlock and it turned off due to high temperature. I waited for few minutes but it won't turn on again, charging it again didn't help, the reset button, I tried lots of stuff, some info would be nice.

Seems to work, it's on now, but it took me almost a whole day to get it running, had some charging issues, i couldn't tell if it was charging or not, seems to be fine now, not sure if I should be worried or something..
Thanks anyways though, at least I can use it again

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Macbook Pro died and won't turn back on

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro 13' (it's about 1.5 years old). I was on it a couple of hours ago when I got the running on reserve battery indicator. Before I could plug the charger in, it died. I have had the charger in for over 2 hours now and it still won't turn on. The green light is on on the charger. When I unplug the charger the first battery strength light flashes on twice but that is it. When it is plugged in the battery strength lights do not go on at all. I have been searching for an answer for over an hour but can't seem to find one. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

It's a possibility, magsafes are known to do all sorts of strange things (I've had tons of replacements), but more than likely it's your battery. Does a friend or family member have another charger you could try? That's how you'll know if it's the battery or charger. If not I would say take it to an apple store to try it out!

My 5G iPod shut down and won't turn on.

I charged my 5th generation iPod overnight so when i woke up it was on 100%. i used it for roughly 15 minutes before i had to do something and leave it on the couch for 20 minutes. When i came back it was locked and wouldn't turn on, it just had a black screen. i tried to hold down the power button and not even a dead battery sign came up. i put it on charge and nothing happened again. When tried connecting to iTunes and my mac didn't even recognise that i had plugged in a device. I have a lot of stuff on there so i don't want to have to restore it. (I haven't synced it for a while) There is also no visible smashes on the screen and it was in the same position as where i left it. Please help.

My Ipod Touch (4th gen) Won't turn on. Help!

Okay, so I did that thing everyone said to do. I connected it to Itunes, held the Power and Home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds. But it won't work!!!!! And, my Ipod won't show up on my computer... at all! I think it might be the battery, but I'm not sure.
Help, anyone? Please? This has been going on for months. I even bought a new cord, and it worked for about a week but now it is just dead. It won't turn on or anything.. and it's not the cord. The cord still works to charge other Ipods.
HELP??
I miss my Ipod :[

Charge it overnight with a known good charger. USB ports are notoriously bad. Hopefully you have an Apple wall-mount charger.
If that does not resolve the situation, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or 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.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
