Ipod touch, not sure what generation won't turn on after factory reset

my friend sold me his ipod, ive been on it before and it works fine, so he reset it and it turned off, then the apple logo came on and stayed on for at least 4 hours before it ran out of charge, so i recharged it and when it turned on the same thing happened and i connected it to itunes but it wont read on itunes unless it is on, PLEASE HELP, I DONT WANT A BROKEN IPOD!!!! its either 1st or second gen, it might be third but im pretty sure its 1 or 2

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I got my iPod touch for Christmas and it won't turn on. I woke up to my alarm and then it just shut off. It wasn't really working great when I bought it New from the store, but I thought maybe thats just the way it was. Need this fixed or Replaced? Please Help!

  • My iPod touch 5th generation won't turn on after the new iOS update

    I've just updated my iPod touch 5th generation to the iOS 8.1.1. (or whatever the newest update is) but once it updated, it now won't turn back on. I've tried plugging it into multiple chargers and computers just in case it wasn't charged, and tired turning it on, but all I get is the apple logo and nothing's happening. What can I do? I haven't backed it up this month and I don't want to loose all my stuff. Thanks.

    Try the following. It is very likely that the iPod will have to be erased:

  • IPod Touch 1st generation won't start up after hard reset

    My iPod Touch 1st generation stopped working after I clicked "Erase all contents & settings". It won't start unless I hold the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button together. Then I get the Apple Logo but after a short time a wheel appears just below the logo which never disappears. I have pressed those 2 buttons while the iPod is plugged in to a power source & left it overnight but the wheel still doesn't disappear & nothing further happens. Any suggestions?

  • Ipod touch not working - what to do?

    Hi,
    I was given an iPod touch for my birthday, installed iTunes, charging the iPod, followed everything in the guide. I listen to a couple of songs, then turn it off (as you do!), then I turned it back on about 2 hours later, and the apple logo comes up really dim (not bright!) and it freezes. I reset the Touch, and now it won't come on at all!
    What should I do?
    Thanks!

    Three step troubleshooting:
    - Reset | hold the buttons on top/side of the iPod Touch until the Apple logo appears...if the issue persists...
    - Restore | connect to the computer you sync with, click on the iPod Touch under Devices within iTunes and click 'Restore'. If the issue persists...
    - Return/Repair. Contact AppleCare at 1800 275 2773 (US).

  • My kids ipod touch not working, What can we do?

    I connected by mistake the charger of my ipad 3 , to my kids ipod touch 4g, now the ipod touch does not power on it only displays the apple logo and then turns off, then it turns on again but only the apple logo and then turns off again, i tried reset it in itunes and did not work, What can we do? Thanks a lot for your help....

    Apple Support recommends the "5 Rs": reset, restore, reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic.  I'm kidding about the last 3.  Check out the iPod section of Support.

  • When I connect my iPAD to my PC it no longer automatically opens the IPAD device window to allow me to sync. It works ok for my iPOD so not sure what the problem is?.

    When I connect my iPAD to my PC it no longer opens it at  as device in itunes.
    This has worked in the past.
    I don't have problems with my old iPOD. That is recognised and syncs ok.
    Also, the PC recognises the iPAD as a drive  so I'm not sure why it doesn't open it in itunes... Very frustrating.

    Thanks, this helped. THere was a new version of iTunes I downloaded to my PC and now the iPad is recognized.
    The problem now is that I get the message that I cannot backup my iPad as my PC is not authorised, even though when I click to authorize it says my PC is already authorized.
    I will click through the forum to see if there is an answert to this.

  • My ipod touch not charging. what should i do ?

    ive tried charging my ipod touch for the last few days but for some reason wont. what should i do ?

    A reset may help. Push and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds. Ignore the slide to turn off indicator and release buttons when the Apple logo reappears.

  • What does it mean when my iPod Touch 2nd Generation wont turn on after factory reset?

    My iPod started having quirks and not playing my music.  Well it would say it was playing but it displayed the now playing as if it was plugged into a USB system on a car. So I factory reset it and now it only displays the apple logo and won't do anything else.

    Thats the same with me but mines a 4th gen. I reset to factory settings and it stays on the apple logo with a gray lined circle on it. Plz help! I should be taking it into apple within the next few days and hopefully that will help.

  • Ipod 4th Generation - Won't turn on or charge - Reset didn't work

    No charging, no turning on, no recognition by my iTunes for my 4th Gen iPod Touch.  It is only about 6 months old.  I tried the holding home and sleep buttons for 10 or more seconds but that did not work.  Any other option besides going to the Apple Store and asking for assistance there?
    Thanks

  • IPod touch 5 is charged. Won't turn on. Plugged into computer with two different cords. They both work with my iPad. My home button is also jammed. Please help!

    I used my iPod yesterday, and it was charged. I put it on the floor, and took it into my room before I went to bed. I wanted to check what I missed while I wasn't using it, but it was "off". I put it on the charger, and it should've been charged up by morning. It still didn't turn on. I tried plugging it into my iMac, but nothing happens when I plugo in my iPod, but works with my iPad. My home button is also jammed, and I've tried to get it To work again, but I've had no luck.

  • HT1363 My ipod touch 32GB keeps clicking and won't turn on or charge even though power is getting to it.  The screen shows a sad face ipod.

    We have an ipod classic with wheel.  It keeps saying low battery even though I have had it charging for ages.  It also makes this clicking sound but refuses to do anything else.  I can't get any screen to show except a sad face ipod and the "low battery" screen.  I have tried to do the restart option but it makes no difference.  Help!
