Also try placing it in DFU mode to see if iTunes can see it so you can restore it.

  • Ipod touch not working at all and wont register to charge...help!!

    My son has a 4th gen. ipod touch. He had it on sleep mode for an hour and now it isnt working at all. It wont turn on and it wont register when we try to charge it. Any suggestions on whats wrong with it??

    READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE!!!
    Hi there have a simple answer that works(i did it on my friends iPod touch 4 gen)
    Plug the iPod into your sons iPod doc or wall adapter ...NOT PC OR MAC... And hold the sleep and menu button for THIRTY seconds.... This will wipe the iPod clear and will also leave it blank then do not use it at all in anyway shape or form. Wait for ios5 to come out( October the 12th 2011) and then Plug it into your PC or Mac that you originally had it synced with and it will work

  • IPod Touch not working at all

    Last night I was browsing the internet on my iPod Touch. While browsing it gave me the warning "Battery at 20%" . The browser locked up (as it occasionally does) and so I held the power/sleep button to turn it off. So after the screen went black, I went to turn on the iPod and it wouldn't turn on. I took it out of its case and the back felt warm. So since the battery was at 20% I took the chance that the battery might have died.
    So I went to go charge it and when I checked it, it still won't turn on. I plugged it into my PC, no indication it was plugged in. I plugged it into my Mac, still no indication on itunes that there was a device plugged in. The only thing I haven't done is let it rest while not connected to a power source for 24 hours. So just incase that doesn't work, is there anything I can do to get it to work?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    When the charge is very low an iPod is not reconized in iTunes right away. I would advise leaving it connected to the PC or Mac for a few minutes to charge it a little.

  • 2nd generation iPod touch not working with docking station. Any solutions?

    I've recently purchased a Philips micro music system (DCB2020) and whenever I put the iPod on the dock, it makes the connection sound but won't play music when I select the dock function. I've tried an iPod nano and that works so I don't think it's a problem with the docking station. My iPod touch is 2nd generation and has 4.2.1 software update. Does anyone have any idea how I could make the iPod compatible with the docking station?

    OK, Then sometmes this works:
    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
    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.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and bring the dock.

  • My ipod is not working at all when i plug it into my laptop i get an itunes sign and below that plugin sign

    My ipod is not working at all when i plug it into my laptop i get an itunes sign and below that plugin sign also it says new software found however it first asks me to install the software disc which i dont have it with me now can you plz check for the same and reply asap...please thanks.

    The link I and Ingo provided included:
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    That is more than quicktime and iTunes.  Follow all the instruction in the link for removing and reinstalling the Apple software.

  • Is there a fix to touch not working? All updates are done. Intermittent problem

    Is there a fix to touch not working? All updates are done. Intermittent problem

    Do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    If that does not help, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out to make sure there is not a hardware issue.

  • IPOD TOUCH NOT WORKING WITH ITUNES

    I am using:
    iPod Touch 16GB 1.1.4 (With $25 Software Upgrade)
    Windows Vista Premium Edition
    iTunes 7.6.2
    Whenever I connect my iPod, the device connect sound is made and it shows up in the my computer window, but it will not show up or sync with iTunes.
    I HAVE ALREADY TRIED THE FOLLOWING:
    Reseting the computer
    Reseting the iPod
    Using a different USB port
    Using a different cable
    Erasing ALL of the iPod's contents (Yes I lost my $25 update as well)
    Restarting the "APPLE MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT" in the "systems" application
    ...As well as many other things, all with absolutely NO results.
    I have tried to manage my ipod through other programs, nothing seems to work. I connected the iPod to a different computer and everything worked fine.
    I ASSUME the problem has something to do with the iPod Touch's drivers; for whatever reason they might be corrupted or installed incorrectly, thus preventing the iPod from automatically reinstalling them as well as preventing the possibility of syncing.
    My question is, how can I reinstall the drivers without having the iPod touch do it automatically?
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

    I fixed the problem myself.
    If anyone else has this same problem and is looking to fix it, here is what I did.
    I found this on another site:
    "Okay well I spent about an hour on the phone with Apple trying to fix this problem. The guy I talked to seemed to have delt with this problem before. He tould me that Apple was getting numerous calls about the iPod touch not connecting with iTunes. So here is the solution that worked for me.
    The first thing you must do it uninstall iTunes and Quicktime using the controll pannel, add/remove hardware, on your windows computer. Once you have uninstalled both of thoes programes go ahead and look for anything else that is Apple and uninstall them as well. There should be an Apple updater or driver that is very critical to uninstall, this was the cause of iTunes not recognizing the new iPod Touch. Next make shure you have the very latest update for Windows on your computer, you can check this on Microsofts web page. Finnaly once you are shure you have UNINSTALLED EVERYTHING that says Apple, iTunes, or Quick time restart your computer and MAKE SHURE THAT YOUR IPOD IS NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR COMPUTER. Then download the newest version of iTunes and install it. Once the installation is complete go ahead and connect the iPod Touch and everything should work.
    I am not shure if this will work for everyone but in my situation it worked. I hope it helps some of you out there!!"
    That worked like a ******* charm. Hope this helps.

  • IMPORTANT - Sound on iPod Touch not working

    My iPod touch 4g has been exposed to water, and now the sound does not work. If I plug it into a docking station, the audio will work, however, when I take it off, there is no volume slider. My headphones worked earlier (whenever I plug them in, Voice Control comes up), and the audio worked fine. However, now the headphones do not work! The speakers do not work at all since water contact.
    Please help me. I am panicking a lot now.
    Kai

    Assuming the iPod is now dry:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    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.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a hardware problem caused by the water.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

  • 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 working anymore.

    My ipod touch 3g has seize to work properly. This all started when i restore my ipod from the setting ipod we area. After i did this, my ipod stayed on the itunes logo with usb screen. I tried doing a restore through itunes, but keep getting error code 1604. I have tried various methods to try and fix this issue, like restoring it from a different computer, putting it in dfu mode, etc. Since none of this works, i decided to go to apple support and get online service so i can get a replacement or get it fixed. Turns out, when i go to the last step in the process, i recieve a message that states that the service is not currently available, and that i should try again later. Anyone able to help me out on this? I don't want to pay for phone support because apple is obligated to give me online support since i still have a year warranty. Dont want to go a apple store since the closest one is 2 hours away. Thank you.

    I have exactly the same problem.Tried same restore methods with same results.Got in touch with a local sevice specialist and they couldn't help me.The next problem i have is that my ipod is 1 month out of warranty and at £300 i'm not happy at all.If anyone could help it would be appreciated.Thank you

  • IPod Touch not working with Verizon fivespot modem

    I cannot get my iPod Touch to work with my Verizon Fivespot hotspot. The hot spot shows up in the WAN settings, but when I try to reach the internet it says it is not available. The Touch works fine with my home hotspot. Any ideas?

    Do other devices work with it? What says "not available"? Is it Safari when you try to connect to a website? If you go into the network settings what IP address is assigned to the iPod? Do wifif arc show on the upper left? Have you looked at the documentation for the Verizon product?

  • Ipod touch not working after upgrades.....

    So I went ahead and upgraded my itunes to 10.5, and got the newest download for my touch (can't remember what number it is).  Now when I went to sync my ipod itunes didn't recognize my ipod, and when I went through and did everything the tech manual said with the whole msconfig stuff, it worked for a little while.  Went ahead and synced my ipod and none of my music showed up as being in the ipod, but on teh ipod usage it showed them all as being there.  So I restarted my computer and turned off my ipod thinking that will work.  Logged on my computer about 30 minutes later and now my ipod isn't being recognized by my computer again.  Please help.

    And now my other 2 ipod touches are not showing up on itunes as being recognized.  Someone please help.
