Ipod touch 1st gen wont turn on passed apple logo

Ok so i have an ipod touch 1st generation that wont turn on passed the apple logo screen. Like a week ago it shut down cuz it ran outta battery cuz i didnt notice my charger wasnt plugged into the wall properly. So i plugged it in and had to spend like 10 minutes readjusting the extension cord its plugged into. Since then it charges just fine, but wont turn on passed the apple screen. Ive tried letting it charge till its full but it just stays on the apple screen till it dies again. Ive tried leaving it completely off for a few days but that did nothing. I keep seeing that people recommend i plug it into the computer and reset it, but that risks loosing all my data on it. I have over 5000 pictures (It has 16GB) on this thing that i use for references to almost all my work i do, All my notes and backup contact info and certain apps that track important things i never write down. I just cant risk loosing this data. This ipod has never been successful in making a backup in passed attempts. So im not sure what to do. So i guess my question is, Is there anything else i can do or anything im missing that would fix this?
PS, buying a new one or taking it in is not an option, i got this one as a birthday gift like 5 years ago, i could never actually afford to buy a new one. Also i have no idea what iOS its using, as far as i can remember i haven't updated or changed it since i got it, i know its before iOS 3. cuz i cant download any apps passed that.

Try the following. However, it is likely the iPod will be erased:                                               
- 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.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and is in recovery mode.

    my ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and it is in recovery mode but when it says preparing to restore it on itunes when i plug it up then the ipod disconnects from the computer and just shuts off again help me please. when it does act like its going to charge it doesnt charge and just brings up the "connect to itunes" thing.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • Someone please help my ipod touch 2nd gen. wont turn on and it tries to start up and it tells me to connect to itunes!

    ok so i have an ipod touch 2nd generation and i have had it for many years.   A few months ago it would not turn on and kept telling me to connect to itunes but the problem is my itunes library is set up at my dads house and i live with my mom.  so i tried connecting it to my laptop to see if it would turn on. well it asked me if i wanted to restore it and i was really tried and couldnt think what restored meant so i clicked yes! and it wiped out my entire library! i was in tears because i had had $50 worth of music and apps that werent backed up!  so i sent my ipod to my dad and got everything sorted out.  but last night i tried to turn my ipod on and it wouldnt turn on so i just plugged it in to charge and left it. i came back to see if it was done and it wouldnt turn on and it told me to connect to the itunes store. i probably have about $50 worth of music that is not backedup this time!  omg i want to cry!  i am smart enough to not pulg in into my laptop because i know what restore means now! and i have tried holding the buttons down and everything and i let it charge all day!  what do i do! please please help me! if i send it to my dads will all of my music that is not backed up sync into my library? or will i lose it all?!?! please please help me!! HELP!!!
