Ipod touch 5 won't work
I dropped my ipod touch 5th gen on the floor and it shut down. i tried the recovery mode by pluggin it in the computer and itunes and even though it find it and shows me to restore it, it won't work all the way and on the screen there is the empty battery amd even though it's plugged in, it's not charging. and itunes says that can't find the software or device and can't do the restore. i asked somebody and they said that there musy be something broken inside, most likely something with the battery...what should i do? are there any chances for my ipod to be fixed?
Try:
- 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.

Hopefully only a loose connection but could be more.

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?
No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:

Power button on ipod touch won't work?
The Power button on my ipod touch won't work at all, any suggestions?
Okay it says here https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do that your warranty has expired, my recomendation is to either clean it out with a needle, or just keep pushing it hoping it will un-stick.
hope this helped -
Installed latest update, and now ipod touch won't work
Hello, I clicked on the download and install option for the latest update to my ipod touch. I think it was 2.2.1, but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, now I have to hold the power button down several seconds, and I see the apple logo, and then the itunes icon with the USB plug which indicates I need to connect to itunes. When I plug it in to the pc, I get prompted that I have installed new hardware and need to install the device drivers. It is not recognized by itunes or my pc. Please help!!
Hello, all, my ipod touch is now working. Here's what happened...I called the tech support line and started going through the automated stuff. It started me with the reset which I had done numerous time. It then mentioned trying a different USB port. I figured it was a waste of time, but then I decided what the heck, so I tried the other usb port on the front of my pc. When I did this, it recognized the ipod in ituned and gave me a mssg that it needed to be restored. I clicked on the restore link, and minutes later it gave me an error message on the restore, and the ipod showed the apple on the sreen instead of the itunes logo with the usb cord. I then tried it back in the original usb port, and received the same windows prompt to try to install drivers that I had been getting all along. I put it back in the second USB port, and got the restore message again with it being recognized in itunes. This time it successfully completed the restore. I know it sounds simple, but if you have not tried a different USB port, be sure you do. Maybe the download jacked up my USB port? Anyway, I'm working again with the 2.2.1 download. Good luck to all!!

I upgraded my os of itunes and now my ipod touch won't work
I upgraded the itunes to the newest os 5.0 and now my ipod touch won't register or even turn on, I get the initial screen that shows you to plug it in to the computer and then nothing happens
i have the same problem. I tried to upgrade this morning to iOS 5.0.1 and now my ipod touch is completely frozen. All I get is a black screen with the Apple logo and an empty download bar. I'm not even able to turn off the ipod and iTunes doesn't detect it anymore. Any suggestion except returning the ipod to Apple Store?

Ipod touch won't work after installing a new app.
Hi!
Last night, I decided to install a new "Alarm clock," app and test it out by setting it to ring a minute later- what a BIG mistake, because during the time it was supposed to ring, it made my Ipod touch completely crash instead. For the past few hours all it's been doing is flashing back and forth between my homelock screen (with the "slide to unlock," bar at the bottom) and the Apple logo, with the round 'processing' image infront of it.
I have tried many different things to get it out of this funk but nothing has worked! I tried resetting the Ipod by holding down the menu and power button, the screen went black temporarily, didn't show the "slide to power off" bar and then just reloaded with the same two flashing images. I tried restoring it, but it wouldn't restore, until I did a special reboot that I read about via online boards- where you have to hold the power + menu buttons for 10 seconds, then release the power button whilst holding just the menu button for 10 seconds- but, whilst the Ipod did go through the whole restoring process thereafter, it didn't manage to sync up.
Now, not only does my ipod STILL flash back and forth between those two images. I keep getting an error message of (0xE80000001)! I used a different cable to try and sync up, but the blasted thing still won't stop flashing back and forth between those two images, and the ipod is not being recognised by itunes so the ipod keeps beeping, in and out of itunes and won't sync!
My ipod isn't 'jailbroken,' I haven't touched it's software or altered it in any way, to how it was sold to me. I would've liked to have brought it back the the Apple store to be looked at, but I don't think they'll help me because the top left hand corner of my Ipod is completely missing after my niece dropped it a few months ago- the Ipod still worked (up until I installed the **** alarm app) perfectly well until now!
Also, I have a mac, so any tips on how to access/help/fix this problem would have to have instructions for a Mac OS not Windows please!
Many thanks!I keep getting an error message of (0xE80000001)!

My new Ipod touch won't work with my Alpine CDE-125BT car stereo.
I bought the new Ipod touch. I am dissapointed because I can't get it to work with my fairly new Apline car stereo. This radio has an ipod cable which worked with my ipod classic. I called alpine they told me to buy the Apple 30 pin to lightnig adapter, I did and it still didn't work. The radio also has bluetooth. I was able to connect ipod through bluetooth, but music wouldn't play through the radio. Is anybody having the same issue as me and is there any advice. Thanks.
Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
It could be that the car system is not compatible with the iOS on the iPod. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. I would pursue that with the car system manufacturer. Ask it they tested the car system with a 5G iPod with the adopter. -
My ipod touch won't work after software update.
Last month I downloaded a software update for my iPod Touch and afterwards it wouldn't work or connect to my PC. It just showed a picture of the USB cable with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo.
I fixed the problem by plugging the iPod into my other PC - where it connected no problem - and I Restored it. I then plugged it back into the first PC and re-synchronized it there. It worked fine after that.
I just downloaded a software update for iTunes and the iPod Touch, and I have the same problem. I know that I can go through the same time-consuming solution as last time but how do I fix this so that it doesn't keep happening?
My PC does seem to recognise the iPod as a camera when it connects. Could that be it? Help please.Have you tried everything here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
It is normal/expected for the computer to recognize the iPod as a camera. It would only be a possible problem if you installed a program such as for a camera or scanner. -

My iPod Touch won't work unless I plug it into iTunes?
I don't know how it happened, but I was just using my iPod touch and out of nowhere, a screen pops up. This screen shows an iPod charger below with a white arrow pointing up towards the iTunes logo. I tried plugging it into iTunes, but the only thing it would let me do was restore my iPod and that would mean wiping the memory clean. How do I get rid of this screen to proceed with what I was doing before, and how can I prevent this from happening again?
It appears that your iPod encountered an error and you have to restore via iTunes. That is how it works.
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

Ipod Touch won't work with Xbox 360
Recently I was at my cousins house hanging out and we decided to plug in my iTouch to listen to music, but when we did this it started charging but wouldn't show up in the devices section so we couldn't use it. When we tried it with his 80Gb Classic it worked. It's not his 360 I tried it with my 360 and my brothers 360 and it didn't work with either of them.
If anyone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it please help me, or if you just know how to fix it.
ThanksI have had the same problem, but have not worried about it. The iPod touch is the only iPod I have noticed that does not work with the Xbox360 and it may never.

So I just downloaded the iPod Touch 3.1 software, and it's not loading onto my iPod. I've restarted my iPod dozens of times, I've even restored it twice. But all I keep getting when my iPod turns back on it is the apple and a little load bar that loads half-way then freezes. Has any one else had this problem & want to tell what I should do?
How long do you leave it before you decide it's frozen and not responding? 3.1 is a major update and it may appear to be doing nothing even though it is working.
I can't remember how long my update took to apply, and I'm on a PC so times may be very different. But fifteen minutes or so is probably not unusual. Leave it alone and make a cup of tea!

IPod Touch won't work on my Sony XDR-DS12iP
I recently bought a Sony Personal Audio Docking Station XDR-DS12iP. However, I am unable to make my iPod Touch work correctly with it. I have tried every docking adaptor that came with the Sony and with the iPod, and even tried those that came with my Roberts audio system on which the iPod works fine. On the Sony, however, some configurations charge the iPod but produce no sound whatsoever; others produce sound but do not charge! The iPod software is up to date. Before I return the XDR-DS12iP to the store and ask for a refund, please can you help?

I previously posted about an error that occurred when I updated my daughter's ipod touch, 1st generation to 2.1. Here is the post:
Error 0xe8000001: My daughter recently purchased an 8G refurbished ipod touch. Prior to upgrading to 2.1, her ipod connected just fine no problems. Because she wanted games, we went ahead and purchased the update. Now when trying to connect to itunes we get "itunes is unable to connect to ipod" error oxe8000001. I tried some of the fixes recommended, but nothing seems to fix it. Her ipod will connect just fine to my macbook, but the update was not done on my laptop either. Any suggestions?
Now my 32G ipod touch, 2nd generation cannot be connected to iTunes on our desktop computer as well. Both ipods connect to my macbook.
Here is what I have tried:
Reinstalling iTUnes. Current version is 8.0.1
Force quitting iTunes helper
Tried USB port on back of computer
Any suggestions? There are quite a few songs on our desktop I want to add.
Thanks!i have the same problem. I tried to upgrade this morning to iOS 5.0.1 and now my ipod touch is completely frozen. All I get is a black screen with the Apple logo and an empty download bar.
