IPod Touch no longer works!

HI,
I've got it for 2 yrs, not using that much, and it stopped working! The screen only shows light, and sometimes stripes. In store they told me that either the processor is gone or the graphic card.
I'm really disappointed. I should understand that these days the devices are made not to last long, but I would still expect to work a little bit longer... ;(
Nice day,
Lana

Have you tried basic steps to resolve this, such as re-starting the Touch or Restoring it? Check this page - http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/ which includes making sure it's fully charged and so on. (You've got nothing to lose except a little time.)

Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
Can you help me?
Thanks

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Ipod touch no longer working with isimple device?

I have a 4th gen Ipod touch that was working just fine with my isimple device in my vehicle until I believe I updated the ipod to the latest firmware. I now recieve a message saying device is not compatible with Ipod, Is there anyway I can rollback to the previous version which I believe was 6.1.2? Thanks!!

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Sometimes this works:
- 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.
Go to the devices support site and see if they have anything. Maybe a firmware update is available. Otherwise you will have to wait for a firmware or iOS update.

IPod Touch no longer works with car stereo after 4.0 update

I updated my iPod to 4.0 a couple of days ago, and my Hyundai Santa Fe's built-in iPod interface no longer recognizes my iPod's music - it just says "empty iPod" or something of that nature. Is anyone else having this problem?? What should I do?

Add me to the list. Brand blankety-new ipod touch that after 4.0.2 wouldn't work with the Subaru-factory-installed ipod connector in my '08 STI. The shut-it-off-and-restart-in-the-car method at least made it able to play music again but still no recharging.
To add insult to injury I did the have-an-Apple-GENIUS call me thing. The first thing was that they called me....for about 1/4 of a second. The phone blipped for less than a ring and then I got an email saying, "Oh, we TRIED to reach you and you weren't there. Why don't you call us?". So I called and was immediately put on hold. When one of the geniuses finally picked up, I described the issue with great patience and his insightful answer was, "let me put you on hold while I talk to my supervisor." So I sat on hold for five minutes until...they just hung up...no answer, no, "gee we think you're SOL"....just "click". Thanks a boatload Mr. Jobs.

All of a sudden, my 4th gen iPod Touch no longer works with my Apple TV, has Apple "upgraded" something to kill off this older unit? (IOS 6.1.2)

All of a sudden, my iPod Touch (4th gen, IOS 6.1.6) no longer works with Airplay on my Apple TV. It was working and still works as a 'remote' but not with Airplay which seems to indicate I've been abandoned by the message that pops up on the screen saying in essence "too bad you don't have IOS 7.1".

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Ipod touch no longer working in car?

Hi there,
Both my ipod touch and nano are no longer working in the car. We have a USB port etc and have not had any issues until now. We just plugged it in, pressed CD/AUX and that was it. Now it just says "Unsupported" on the screen. Any ideas?

snoakes wrote:
That's likely it but I don't understand what that means.
It means that either:
(a) Your stereo never did fully comply with Apple's communication protocol. The only reason it worked before was because Apple previously did not use something in the defined protocol until now. Now that they are, your stereo no longer communicates with the iPod. Apple is still complying with their protocol, but your stereo can no longer capitalize in a prior limitation in the iPod OS.
OR
(b) Apple either did not define the protocol completely (or accurately), or they muffed the code that would ensure compliance to their own defined protocol.
snoakes wrote:
Will it ever work again? Any way around this. Seems kinda dumb to update something and then suddenly it no longer works with the stuff I have (ie a car!!)
You can see if there is a firmware update for your stereo, or you can wait and hope for a change in the iPod OS someday that will restore functionality. You might also be able to step down a revision in your iPod OS.
In any case, you can report your problem here:

IPod Touch no longer working with car Head Unit since update

Hi there, I have a problem with using my iPod Touch with my car's head unit.
I've been using my iPod Touch with the Alpine IDA X001 Head unit fitted in my car for the last 3 months without any problems, however I installed the latest software update for the Touch (v4.0) and now the head unit connects and then says no USB device. At first I thought it was the cable as the cable supplied with the head unit is pretty fragile, so I've replaced it with a new one but it still doesn't work.
I've tested with my iPod Nano and it works perfectly so its not a problem with the head unit or lead (I plugged the Touch in and it didn't work, plugged the Nano in and worked perfectly and then plugged the Touch in and didn't work).
Can anyone help or is it gonna be a case of Restoring the iPod Touch back to factory settings ????

I was also having this problem with my Kenwood car stereo. I went into the store and they did a complete restore. I didn't think it worked but the next time I plugged it into my usb to connect with my car stereo it worked. So you might try doing a restore.

Ipod Touch No longer working after Eleven days

I had been carefully checking blogs about which ipod touches had issues to make sure that mine was not part ok week 37. Nothing had gone wrong for the first week of use and i was pretty happy beyond a few small problems that i could live with. Like Freezing up when the battery was low, low wi fi connection, the touch screen not reacting to touch, and the fact that occasionally a song would just stop playing. But then about two days ago i turned on my touch aware that the battery was going low and was shocked when the screen continued to flash black to white, turing on and off about every 4 seconds. The power button is unresponsive, it will not let me reset is manually and now it does not register on my computer and when it is plug in the screen turns completely white then to pink and green ( Like when you computer is defragmenting). I cant do anything, its gone. about three days has gone by and im ready to return it, but i cant deside if i should completly return it and get a refund wait a month and get another, or try my luck with possibly getting another ipod with issues.

You are aware that since you have week 37, you might as well go exchange for a new one. I hear week 38 and 39 are okay, so if you do plan on exchanging it then get week 39. I have a week 39 and so far yet, I have not encountered any problems.

IPod Touch no longer working with Nike after 4.3.2 update.

I updated to 4.3.2 about a week ago and immediately afterwards my itouch was not able to pick up the Nike+ sensor when initiating a run (during the "walk around to start the sensor" part). I even went out and dropped 20 bucks on a new sensor at Best Buy because my initial thought was the battery died since I've been using it for about 2 years. When I went to pair the new sensor I was surprised to see the itouch finding "multiple sensors" and still pickign up on my old one, so I had to go to a seperate room to pair the new one. I thought all was right in the world, but the next morning again it would not find the signal to start the workout.
I also did a factory reset, but still nothing.
What's going on? Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

I was also having this problem with my Kenwood car stereo. I went into the store and they did a complete restore. I didn't think it worked but the next time I plugged it into my usb to connect with my car stereo it worked. So you might try doing a restore.

My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio. When I take it out, it goes blank. Why can I do?

My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio. When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank. The battery shows fully charged. It appears that the battery is no longer charging. What should I do?

Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

1st Gen ipod touch no longer keeping time

As the title says my 1st gen ipod touch no longer keeps time when I let it go completely flat. It keeps resetting itself back to the default time and date. Started happening in the last 6 months. I'm running IOS 2.2.1 never bothered updating to IOS 3 because of a known issue with the volume bar disappearing which I don't think had even been fixed. It hasn't been synced with the itunes for 2-3 years. The laptop with the itunes library for this device hasn't worked for a couple of years and haven't sync my ipod to a new computer due to some of the apps I used and some of my song/video purchases no longer being available and I don't want to risk losing those purchases if doing a factory resets not going to make a difference. Battery life for my ipod is still pretty good, get 3 weeks out of it when I leave it in standby mode using it for an alarm clock and about a week listening to music going to and from work only a few hours playing games or videos but that was never to great to begin with. My Ipod touch does have a cracked screen, but it's been cracked for the last 5 years. No other problems. Is else have this issue? Will factory reset make a difference or is it just something to put up with till my ipod touch dies?

It sounds like the battery is really dying and does not have enough voltage to maintain the time when the iPod shuts off due to low battery.
You can try restoring to factory settings/new iPod and see if that helps.

Some of my apps on both my iPad and iPod Touch no longer have sound. Others still do. Checked general settings. Any other ideas?

Some of my apps on both my iPad and iPod Touch no longer have sound. Others still do. I checked general settings. Any other ideas of how to fix this?

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
