Ipod touch stopped working completely

I have a 3rd Gen Ipod Touch and it was working fine until I hooked it up to my computer and started to update it. The screen went white and then it failed to update it and now my ipod touch wont even turn on. What do I do?

Welcome to the discussions,
can you charge it using the adapter? If yes, make sure it it charged and connect in recovery mode, shown here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

    All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
    When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
    At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
    Click Synch Music.
    Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
    Now just synch the iPod.

  • IPod touch stopped working when charging now won't turn on at all

    iPod touch stopped working when charging now won't turn on at all

    Try in order:
    - After charging or half an hour, reset 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.
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and if it shows in iTunes, restore the iPod via iTunes.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovory mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • IPod Touch stopped working and is in recovery mode. What to do?

    My daughters iPod touch stopped working today. It has a picture of an USB cable pointing to the blue iTunes icon. IMac says it needs to be restored and I don't want to lose her content on the iPod. What to do?

    You have to restore the iPod. That is the only way. Your iPod is sick.

  • My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected.  We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

    Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

  • Why did my 4th generation iPod touch stop working with my docking station?

    I have an Altec docking station and my iPod suddenly stopped working on it.  The station comes on and makes a beeping noise like it is connected when I insert the iPod.  However, the music will only come out of the iPod.  The docking station will charge the battery on the iPod, so I assume it isn't broken. 

    - While charging try resetting 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 try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • IPod Touch stopped working after i upgraded it from iOS4.3.3 to iOS6. Now even if i restart my iPod it shows a iTunes symbol followed by a upward arrow mark and a USB symbol. I cannot find any solution for this particular problem in Help section.

    I tried to upgrade my iPod from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 6 through iTunes. As soon as it completed the download of the 840 MB file, it said that my iPod is being restored. But after a considerable amount of time it said my iPod could not be restored and stopped. Now my iPod screen is just displaying a iTunes symbol followed by an upward arrow mark and then a USB symbol.
    iTunes has stopped to detect my iPod anymore. I tried to update iTunes 10.7 as requested in the website support page. But if I check for updates in iTunes it is detecting the available updates but not updating it when i click on the update button.

    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 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.

  • Ipod touch stopped working with my wifi

    I had iPod Touch (4th Gen) 32Gb, for Christmas and it worked fine on wi-fi network from first day. However got up Monday morning and found it just wont connect to home wi-fi. Tried friends wi-fi next door and same problem. Not knowingly changed any wi-fi settings. Have tried the following:
    Re-set IPod Touch wi-fi settings
    Re-Set Own Home Wi-Fi
    Upgraded firmware on Router
    Next door has re-set their wi-fi
    On both wi-fi networks non-apple laptops can still connect to both wi-fi networks.
    Both homes are on different ISPs - Virgin and Sky
    However can connect to work wi-fi network
    At home just sits with attempting to connect to wi-fi symbol spinning but never completes. Have even turned off Authentication (WPA Personal) on own wi-fi and still no connection

    When you said, you "Re-set IPod Touch wi-fi settings" in your first post does that mean that you used Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings?
    What router make/model are you using? Have you tried restarting your router (not reset) by removing power to it for 30 seconds?
    If you have no success on either your network or your neighbor's then, unfortunately, your iPod might have developed a hardware problem. You could try using iTunes to restore it to factory setting to see if you can get it functioning again.
    If that doesn't work it's probably time to call Apple support.

  • IPod Touch stopped working with iTunes with OS upgrade

    I have a problem with my iPod Touch connecting to iTunes. It is a new
    It has worked fine in the past, but stopped working once I upgraded from OS 10.4.x to OS 10.5.. I can still see/ sync my old 3rd generation iPod just fine.
    I am currently using iTunes 8.0.1. The iPod is charging fine with the cord provided. The iPod works fine, but I would like to load the Apps I purchased and update the podcasts I listen to.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    I apologize for posting a bit early.  Found an Alpine manual online and i needed to set the AUX port to off.  They also recommended a reset of the Touch.  After doing these two things it is now working.  Maybe this will help someone else.
