IPod Touch 4th Gen wont respond to anything - please help

I was deleting a lot of stuff from my iPod 4th generation and suddenly it froze for a sec so I held down the menu and sleep/wake button to reset it. After I reset it it has been stuck on this black screen since last night. I tried connecting it to iTunes and it wont show that its connected to iTunes. I've tried resetting it again, holding down the sleep/wake button. Nothing is working /: What can I do to get it to work again? Please and thank you

Yes, I tried that. When I did this, my iPod screen remained black, no Apple Logo or anything. Nor did my iPod come up on iTunes, like usually it shows up on the right hand corner with my iPods name, it didn't show up. What should I do?

  • 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.

  • HELP... Ipod Touch 4th Gen - wont restore

    Hi,first time posting in the form and desperate for some help. I purchased the Ipod touch 4th gen for my 12 yr old daughter for Christmas 2010, it's work great until last night when I connect it to my PC to download the lastest updates. During the restoring process it gives me the message "The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9)" Each time I connect my ipod to my PC it tells me "you must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes." I hit recovery and it goes through the recovery part to verify the ipod restore, but when it gets to the last step it gives the unknown error message again. It's a vicious loop of dissappointments each time I try to restore it. I've search the internet and tried almost everything and nothing seems to work. If anyone else has experience this and resolved this issue please let me know.

    Yes, unfortunately I've tried that several times and other suggestions mentioned in this form but none seem to work for me. I'm really at a lost because its always updated great with no problems until I was request to update to the 4.3.2 version. PLEASE HELP!

  • 4th gen wont turn on! please help.

    I haven't had my ipod touch 4th gen on for about a week. I tried to turn it on and the charging screen showed up. After a few seconds it said it was turning on but then the screen went black and then the charging screen showed up again. I have tried different chargers and I tried to reset it by holding the home and power button. It doesn't show up on itunes when i have it plugged in. It has done this before and one day it just started working. Any suggestions?
