Ipod Touch 5th Generation overheated now wont turn on

I have the ipod touch 5th generation. When I charge my ipod i always leave it alone and often have a battery app open. Today however when I was charging my ipod it overheated and now won't turn on. I have left it and it has completely cooled down but still wont do anything. Please help me if you have any idea on what to do. I have tried to restart it and put it into recovery but it wont do anything. when i connect it to the computer it doesn''t show up in itunes or in my computer and nothing will come up on the screen of the ipod. I don't have an apple store near me so would be happy for any advice that could help.

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

However, I suspect a hardware problem based on the heating and the Genius Bar is very likely required. If you iPod is defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen Overheating and Wont Turn On

    I got my new iPod Touch 5th gen today from best buy. I turned it on, got it all set up, then left it charging for about 30-40 minutes. While I was looking through the features I felt it getting warmer and warmer. Eventually the touchscreen would stop responding for a minute and sometimes shut off. Now whenever I turn it on, it shows the apple logo and then shuts off completely. And when I put it on the charger, it just flashes the apple logo(I presume this is from the charger trying to turn it on, and the ipod turning itself off automatically).
    I really want this to be fixed soon because I would like to use this over some long airplane trips i have.

    Please help. I cant do anythin!

  • Ipod touch 5th generation overheating and now sound is not working properly

    Got an ipod touch 5th gen a few days ago and it has been working well for the first few days, then last night it came up with an 'overheat' message and turned itself off.  I was surprised as it wasn't working particularly hard when it overheated, just plugged into a speaker system playing an audiobook.  After cooling down and recharging the battery, I was able to turn the ipod back on again, but realised this morning when I tried to watch a video on it that there was no sound coming from the internal speaker.  Also when headphones are plugged in the sound is really crackly.  (the level of crackle changes when you change the volume - it is most crackly in the middle of the volume range and clearer when it is louder).  Before it overheated, it had none of these issues.  Also, it now seems to take longer to charge the battery, and the battery doesn't seem to hold it's charge as long.  Is there anything I can do at home to fix these issues (as we live in a remote area)?

  • My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything.

    My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything.  It used to do this thing where it would freeze when it was 100% charged and plugged in and I was using it.  I'd just unplug it, restart it (home button and top button) and then it would be fine.  That had happened like 5 hours prior to me plugging it in again and then it going totally blank.

    Try:                                               
    - 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

  • HT1430 Ipod touch (5th generation) w/ lines across the screen - now dead.

    My son's Ipod touch (5th generation) had lines across the screen. I turned it off using the home + on/off button reset, but the apple never came back on. Now it seems to be dead. Not dropped, not completely drained, no water damage. Just dead. Any ideas?
    I have also tried plugging it into my Macbook Pro, and iTunes does not find it.
    ITunes is up to date.

    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

  • On my ipod touch 5th generation i cannot connect to the internet i did every step in the help section. I reset the wifi, I turned the wifi off and on and still nothing. I even tried to put it in manually but still couldnt connect

    The product i am using is a Ipod touch 5th Generation, version 8.1. On friday i had laid my ipod on my jacket which was laying on my mom truck and i went to play basketball. So when i got back it was off, at first i thought it died but the ipod was cold. It wasnt turning on i put it on the charger and it still wouldnt turn on. So i kept it on the charger all night and in the morning (saturday 10/25/14) it turned back on. So i went to the wifi to connect to my home wifi and it said no wifi is found. So i reset the network settings on my ipod and turned off the wifi box for 30 seconds then turned both back on and it still said theres no wifi. I followed every step but it still doesnt show any wifi. I tried to enter it manually but it keep saying "Could not find the network". But when i do it on my brothers phone it works. Can someone please help me get wifi back on my Ipod touch. I did all the steps but still nothing work.

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    Also heating sometimes works. See:
    Why can't I select my wifi settings?
    A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    Then:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
