IPod touch 4th generation not charging, not doing anything

My son lost his ipod touch 6 months ago. We found it last night, but now it seems completely dead, even when I plug it into the wall charger or computer. It was completely fine before he lost it, and was just "hiding" safely under a bookshelf for the past few months.

If a battery isn't discharged or recharged for some time, it can lose capacity. You can try this method which might help if it is just frozen: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working.

Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working. I had the screen replaced about a month ago and it was working fine. I woke up the other day and went on my camera and it had stopped working, it won't let me change from the front to back camera so i don't know what the problem is: now all it shows when i go on the camera app is the shutter or a black screen. I have tried the advice people have said but it hasn't seemed to work. Any help would be appreciated!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
However, it other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider did the previous screen replacement , Apple will not help.
For the future, saying that you tried the advice people have said, provides us with zero information as to what yu tried.

My ipod touch 4th generation isnt charging with my cable. When i use my dad´s cable, it charges. But, however, after it´s fully charged (which takes strangely only a minute), i use it for five seconds and then it goes off. What should i do?

My iPod touch (4th generation) isn't responding to anything I do. It's been like this since 2pm this afternoon (5 hours). On the screen, there is the Apple logo and nothing else. When I connected my iPod to the computer, iTunes didn't recognize it and my iPod didn't change at all. What should I do?

How to fix an ipod touch 4th generation that will not turn on or charge

My ipod touch 4th generation randomly turned off and will not turn back on or charge. I have tried restarting it, resetting it, and letting it "charge" for weeks but nothing has worked. It is not registered by itunes when plugged into the computer either and there hasn't been anything dramatically done to it. I also cannot do anything to update its software since it isn't being recognized by itunes or turning on.
Thanks in advance to whoever has helpful information!

New iPod Touch (4th generation) - Music will not sync

I just bought an 4th generation iPod Touch. When syncing my from my Windows PC to the iPod everything syncs perfectly - photos, contacts, bookmarks - but not my music files. The music sync box is checked. The playlists are hightligthed, but no luck. Any ideas why I am having this problem?

The songs were either purchased through the iTunes or imported from old CDs. This is a replacement iPod as my old Clasic died. All the songs I wanted downloaded fine to the Classic. In addtion, I have an iPad and an iPhone 5 and the songs synced to them just fine.

I have a iPod touch 4th Generation and its not wanting to start it stays on the apple logo and when i connect it to the computer it keeps beeping and the apple logo starts to flash but it wont start and i dont know how to fix this I need help!?

I need help to be able to see if I can fix this or something.

Try:

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation that I have not updated since purchase. I have downloaded music from iTunes from an old computer that I can no longer access, and my "old" music in not currently on my new computer. Will I lose my music if I update?

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation and have not updated the software since I purchased it. When I first purchased the iPod Touch, I synced it with an old computer and an older version of iTunes. I no longer have access to the old computer and no access to the older music I downloaded onto the old computer. If I update the software for my iPod, will I lose all of my music that is currently on the iPod?

iOS 6.1.3 Software Update
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Since your updating from iOS 4 to iOS 6, you will most likely lose your songs, but if songs were purchased from iTunes, you can try this:
Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You can redownload from iTunes on your iTouch, if running iOS 5 or better.
