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
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My ipod touch 4th generation wont turn on

Ok my Ipod 4th generation wont turn on at all ive tried holding the buttons connecting it to Itunes (which by the way says nothings connected) and nothing is happening at all. My battery was halfway charged and after I put my ipod to sleep it wouldnt turn on anymore. Can anybody help me please?

Try putting it in DFU mode. Here is how to put it in dfu mode:
1. First, Open up iTunes, plug in your iPod Touch/iPhone to the CPU's USB port. Turn on your CPU's speaker and make sure it is loud enough that you can hear it.
2. Hold down the Home button (top left for iPod Touch and top right for the iPhone with the screen facing you) and the Power button (located on the front bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone) simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off. (past the red slider/slide to power off screen)
3. Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
4. After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device, now iTunes should recognize it in DFU mode.
5. After iTunes recognizes the iPod Touch/iPhone, let go of the Home button otherwise it will go into recovery mode and you will have to do the entire DFU process over again.
6. You will know when you have put your iPod Touch/iPhone correctly into DFU mode when the display is blank and that you do not have anything on your device.
And you are done, now you can install any iPod Touch/iPhone firmware on to your device via the iTunes SHIFT recovery method.

Ipod touch 1st generation wont restore?

Hi
I just purchased an ipod touch 1st Gen 16gb from ebay, its second hand but the company that sold it to me have said its been fully checked and works perfectly. However When I have tried to sync my songs to it itunes freezes and i have to close it down. So i tried to restore the ipod on 2 different computers and now it wont restore. In itunes it just has the preparing ipod for restore logo flashing and then doesnt do anything else. As mentioned have tried it on 2 different computers, one running windows 7 and another running windows xp. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris

I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I supsect a hardware problem, maybe a dead battery.

My ipod touch fifth generation wont turn on after the battery died and my home button is broken

i fell asleep with my ipod touch fifth generation on and when i woke up the battery had died but i tried turning it on and connecting it to the computer but nothings working

Hi stephkayy223,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod touch battery has been completely consumed, you may need to connect it to power for several minutes before you will see the charging screen:
If you see this screen, it means your battery is really low. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes before using it. After that, you can use your device while it continues to charge.
If your device has turned off, you might see a black screen for a few minutes even after you plug it in. Let it charge until it turns on, or until it's fully charged.
From:
Charge your iPhone and iPod touch
If your iPod touch still does not seem to be charging, the steps in this article can help troubleshoot the device:
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Best Regards,

Did you try to connect in recovery mode and restore?

IPod Touch 2nd Generation wont turn on or be recognized by iTunes.

The other night i was using my iPod touch and it was working fine and then i put it to sleep for the night and i woke up and tried to wake up my ipod and the screen displayed the plug into iTunes thing and the screen was flickering lighter and darker. I went to plug it into my computer and my computer didnt recognize it and neither did iTunes. I tried turning it off and back on but after i turned it off it didn't turn back on. I tried putting it into recovery mode and any other mode I could find that was supposed to fix it and it didn't work. I also tried charging it with no effect. So now my iPod wont turn on and when i plug it into the computer it tells me that the USB Device is not recognized. I followed the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
which told me to update the driver for the unknown device. I followed those instructions and i went to install driver from disk and have disk and put in the location it told me to select and the driver it told me to select and after i did that the computer told me that the driver update didn't go with the driver i was updating. So that didn't worked and after hours of much frustration im here. The liquid identifier thing has not been triggered and i no longer have a warranty on my Ipod so if anyone can help it'd greatly appreciate it!

Anyone?

IPod Touch 2G 8GB wont turn on or connect to computer. Device Malfunctioned

My iPod Touch 2G 8GB will not turn on or connect to my (or any other) computer or accesory. I'm not sure but I believe my USB cord may have been damp from a recent flood.
When I plug it into a Vista computer, a popup reads "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it"
Do you have any idea what might have happened? I'm not positive the cord was damp, but if it was, does anyone know what it could have done to my ipod and is it salvageable?
I tried the standard home/power reset and tried plugging it into various accessories (car stereo, alarm clock dock) but nothing worked. THe screen is just black and hasnt changed at all.
If anyone can offer any input, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

My iPod Touch will not completely turn off or connect to iTunes

I disconnected my iPod and did what you are supposed to do to turn it off. The little thing that circles round and round before it turns off all the way will not stop. It won't turn off no matter what I do. iTunes says it cannot connect to my iPhone (it is an iPod Touch) and that there is some kind of error. I went through all of the troubleshooter steps including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. What should I do? Will it fix itself when the battery finally dies?

- Have you tried resetting the iPod:
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.
- Placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring the iPod via iTunes? For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
For the future. saying:
"I went through all of the troubleshooter steps"
Really provides us with no information since we do not know what steps you are referring to.
