Ipod Touch Charged, Not Turning On, Nothing Happens When Put on Charger

I hope someone can help me. I returned from a run today and my ipod shut itself off. I've checked for the red dot at the base of the head phone plug, but it is still silver. I've attached the ipod to a charger and then to my computer using the USB cable. It is completely unresponsive. I've tried resetting the device, but nothing happens. Is anyone familiar with this problem? It doesn't strike me as being a quick fix. I very much appreciate your insights.

I had the samething happen to mine today. Guessing it either needs a new battery or the connection port for the charging cord is broke. I've been looking through the apple site all day for the answer, with no luck. Guessing I'm going to have to send it away to be repaired or have the battery changed.

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 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.

My ipod touch will not turn on, i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it wont charge. and plus its battery was already full. why wont it turn on??

So one day is was laying next to my ipod touch and i tried to turn it on but it wouldnt. so then i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it didnt charge, the computer didnt pick up the divice. so now my ipod touch will not turn on, and i have no idea why. PLEASE HELP.

mine did the same thing. What I did was hold the home and power button down for 10 seconds but that did not work. I figured out that I just had to hold them down for a long time like 15 to 45 seconds. Then it finally turned on. You may have to do it a couple of time. But if this does not work send it in to the apple company they fixed mine completly free they even sent me a box to send it in. I hope my answer helps you fix it.

My ipod touch will not turn off and the battery (charged to 100% with trickle charge) is discharging on it's own. Any advice please?

My Ipod touch has not turned off for some time. I reset it. Now, as well, the battery which is charged to 100% and finished with a trickle charge is discharging completely overnight when not in use. Help please, I use this all the time

might want to consider posting in the proper forum. This is the iPhone forum.

IPod Touch 4G Not Turning On or Connecting to iTunes

I have no idea why, but my iPod Touch will not turn on. When I press the Home button, it will show the low power screen (but only when connected to a USB cable). Holding Home does nothing. Holding Home and whatever the button on the top is results in a brief white flash, then it goes completely black. It won't show up in iTunes, and I've tried everything I can find on Apple's Support pages. I've tried plugging the iPod in both before and after starting up iTunes, I've tried holding the Home button down before plugging it into the USB cable, and I've tried changing where the USB cable is plugged into the computer (despite it being the same port I've used for the past four months, with no real problems).
I'm not sure what, if anything, else I can do, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd tried soft-resetting several times (had a similar thing happen before, and that always worked). Don't know why, but I tried holding the Home button while plugging in the USB cable today (had tried it yesterday, with no luck, but I figured why not try again) and it seems to have worked. Read in another post about it shutting off for about 24 hours because of processor overload, but since I usually don't have more than one app running at a time, even in the background, I didn't think that could be it. Clearly I was wrong. Thanks for the assistance, though.

Ipod touch will not turn on unless plugged in

My Ipod touch will not turn on, Ive plugged it in and it comes on it has a charge but as soon as I unplug it it goes black ... I have tried to restart it but there is just a black screen

Try the following:

Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

Hi msclaude,
Welcome to the Support Communities! I'm not sure from your post what steps you have tried, but it sounds like you may need to use recovery mode to address the issue with your unresponsive iPod touch.

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.
Use recovery mode

iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.

To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.

If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
I hope this information helps ....

Ipod touch will not turn on and is not reading in the usb port

ipod touch will not turn on or connect to my computer

I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on

My 2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on. I have held the lock button down for up to 30 seconds and it remains a black screen. When I put it on the charger, the screen usually shows the battery amount, but it will not do that either. I checked the battery about 10 minutes before it began this, and it was about 75% charged. There is no way it could be dead. It will not even show the apple, as if it were powering on.

- Connect the iPod to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod.
- Next see if resetting the iPod will make the iPod visible so you can restore 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.
- Next see if recoverymode will make the iPod visible. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function.

My Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function. When it does, once in a blue moon, after 5 minutes it freezes. I am wondering if its becuase battery was left dead for 2 weeks or problems with the iOS. Resetting does not help.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Try a Reset
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the iPod On...
If that does not help... See Here:
