IPod touch not starting up after charging

My iPod battery died on me (normal) and I put it on the charger for the night. It made the battery charging sound and I though everything was fine. The next morning I pulled it off in the morning but did not try to turn it on until a few hours later. The iPod would not respond. It still didn't respond after I plugged it in to another charger and into my computer. I still get no response

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

- Next try DFU mode.

OpenDNS IP Addresses

Ipod touch, not turning on or charging

I have a 16gb touch 4th Generation, I haven't used it in about 2-3 months since I got an iphone but decided to go back to it so i don't waste my battery while I'm outside working. it will not do anything. it will not turn on, it will not charge, it will not be noticed by any computer, it is a brick. it hasn't been damaged at all or anything, it was sitting in my work vehicle in a little pelican case in my work bag. i have tried charging it for hours with the wall and 3 different computers, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT tell me to just hold the buttons down to reset it, I've tried it numerous times for several amounts of time, even up to 5 mins at one point. Can anyone help me or has this just become a brick?

TS4062 iPod Touch not showing content after sync

iTunes says it is transferring over podcasts, but the latest podcasts don't show up on my iTouch. This just started this past week, and my iTouch is not full. I saw there was an operating system update yesterday (7.1.1), so I did that, hoping that would help, but no such luck. iTunes told me it was transferring another podcast over this morning, but still nothing new is showing up in my podcast area on my iTouch.

I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.

Ipod Touch not getting detected after IOS upgrade.

I have recently upgraded the firmware of my Ipod Touch (1G) to IOS 3.0.1 and was successful in upgrading.
The issue i am facing is that my ipod touch is not getting detected after reconnecting and the ipod touch is not getting switched on...it is just showing the apple symbol and the progress bar.
Please let me know if anyone has faced similar type of issue.
Please also let me know the resolution for this.

Are you using a USB hub? Try connecting the iphone directly to the computer's USB port and see if that makes a difference.
Also, with the upgrade, this seems to happen a lot. Most of the time if it is not the USB issue above, it can be resolved by simply redownloading Itunes and installing it on top of your current installation.

IPod Touch Not Working Properly After Front Screen and Housing Replacement

So my son left his iPod Touch 4th Gen on my back bumper and it fell off out in our dirt/gravel driveway. I finally found it, 7 days later, run over multiple times. Front screen and back housing were demolished as you can see, but it still worked fine (except rear facing camera was done). Ordered the rear camera, front screen and back housing assemblies off eBay from reputable sellers. Took it all apart and reassembled it. Bada bing! Everything was working fine: camera, speakers, touch screen, wi-fi, all of it, for about 2 days . It went from working perfectly, to being kinda glitchy (had to hold home and power to restart), to not turning on at all. I read somewhere that if you don't clean all metal to metal contacts, it may interfere and not work properly, so I just took it (almost) all apart again, cleaned the contacts, and it turned on and was working, but this time only for about half an hour. I've held down the home and power buttons for long periods of time, which sometimes got it to work, but now is not working at all. Any ideas on what might be going on??? Is the screen bad? Did I maybe miss a metal to metal contact (e.g. the power button, ribbon cable)? Any really important ones that you can tell me about? I really don't want to take it into the Apple store, but if I do, any ideas on a ruff guesstimate on what it's gonna cost me? Thanks for any help! I really appreciate it, I'd love to get this thing working for my 7 year old so I can have my d*** phone back!

Ipod touch not turning on or charging! HELP PLEASE!

I have an ipod touch and when I go to turn it on it gives me the dead battery sign and the sign to charge it. When I plug it in to charge, it gives the dead battery with the lightening bolt. It then goes to turn on with the little apple and then stays like that and then blacks out and does it again. I dont know what the problem could be and what to do. Any ideas? Suggestions? Or answers? Thank you.

IPod Touch not Synchronising/New Software Uploads-A/V Software Conflict

Hi,
I've been following the threads relating to the iPod Touch not being recognised (after having dealt with Windows thinking it was a Camera!!). One issue brough to my attention by the Apple Support Team when downloading any new software is a potential conflict with Anti Virus software and firewalls.
I had previously gone through the loop of uninstalling/reinstalling Quicktime, iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service etc etc.
In my case, when I connected the iPod, iTunes was coming up with a message saying "iPod detected in recovery mode", which then required me to do an updated software download. When running this, it appeared to complete the download, but the iPod remained with the "connection" screen (USB connector and iTunes symbol), as indeed it did again tonight.
I spoke with the Apple Support Team again tonight, and was advised to try disabling my anti virus software and firewall as he suggested that given the long time it takes to download the iPod software update, the AV software may be causing the problem.
This I did, and after having been advised last night to set up a new account, switched to this account, started iTunes, the Touch then went into software upload "mode" and eventually completed and appeared in the devices!!
So that's my problem resolved, but hopefully the advice I received may be of assistance to others struggling with connectivity issues.
Good luck everyone.

Thanks for the information, tony!
Apologies for the nosy question, but what security software do you use? (I know people can have issues with CA software in particular in this context, but it is always useful to know about other packages when trying to help with people in your situation.)
