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.

  • My daughters ipod touch was reset by accident and I don't think it was ever plugged into a computer. Is there a way to restore all the games she purchased on it?

    Restore from iCloud backup if shed has one.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:        
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         

  • Any way to see if a stolen iPod touch was reset and reput in the system if you still have the serial number

    If you still have the serial number of your iPod touch n it was stolen is ther any way to see if it was reactivated under someone else name

    No Apple doesn't get involved in lost/stolen items.  If you had registerd in Find My...in iCloud it may show up if connected to the internet and not restored to factory settings.  Once restored it will not appear.

  • Can anyone recommend recovery software to find photos and videos that were taken on the iPod touch before resetting back to factory setting?

    My iPod touch was Connected to the computer to sync, but somehow ended up resetting everything to factory settings. When I checked contents, everything after the last date I synced is gone. I am most upset about photos and pictures taken on our vacation.
    How can I get all my photos back?
    Thanks.

    I don't know -- scams? You should always keep a backup of photos and data elsewhere; did you not do this? Photo Stream is the easiest way, in which case they should have been on your PC waiting for you.

  • HT1695 i bought a used ipod touch and reset it to the factory settings via itunes and now i'm trying to set it up like new and it won't let me sign in with an apple id it says it can't connect to the server.  Other wireless devices are working HELP?!

    I am trying to set up  my daughters ipod touch after resetting it to factory settings.  So I am trying to sign in using an apple id.  It says won't connect to the servier, but I have other wireless devices connected, so I know my wi fi is working. What now? Thanks

    Return it and get a refund. Without the prior owner's Apple ID and password that device is useless. Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. You were screwed by the ignorance of the pawn shop owner.

  • I updated itunes to 10.4, my ipod touch was wiped clean then errored (2003) when attempting to restore, now my ipod is clear. I have tried disabling my antivirus, no luck.

    I updated itunes to 10.4, my ipod touch was wiped clean then errored (2003) when attempting to restore. Now my ipod is clear, when I turn it on I get the "Connect to itunes screen", this never goes. I have tried disabling my antivirus, to allow me to restore with no luck.
    When I go into itunes I get the message - itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes,
    how am I supposed to do this ?
    I would rather take the ipod to someone to do the restoration - I still have itunes with all of my downloads on my computer, I dont want to risk losing this as I can re-install onto my ipod when it is sorted.

If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

    You should try doing a restore. A restore on your ipod touch will delete all it's storage and set it back to it's factory conditions but it should fix your problem. Before the restore, I suggest making a backup file for your ipod touch on itunes.
    To restore your ipod touch:
    1.Connect your ipod touch to your computer and open itunes if not already open.
    2.Select your ipod touch name in the devices section of the source pane.
    3.Click the restore option under the version section in the summary tab. An alert will pop up asking you if you really want to do this. To affirm, click restore.
    4.The restore process has now started.
    With  your ipod touch restored, you can resync it working fine.

  • My ipod touch was stolen, I'd like to remove all the content that was on it...

    So my iPod touch was stolen. I've finally come to terms with the fact that I'll never see it again.
    I'd really like to punish whoever stole it. I already changed all my passwords and billing information (it was stolen with my purse and I already changed my debit card). I signed into iTunes today and it says I have an outstaning balance. Whoever stole it must have tried to buy something before I changed everything. I'm already in the process of getting that taken care of.
    So I looked at my apps and realised that I don't need them any more so I deleted them. It made a note that the content would be removed from ALL my devices, which got me thinking. Is there a way that I can remove all the music from my iPod as well? I dont want them listening to all my awesome music that I bought. I know that if I remove all my music from my library it will take it away from my iPod, but from my computer as well. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? Maybe if I do delete it from my library but get it back somehow, like maybe saving it somewhere else? I know it's a little far-feched but I would feel a little better about some stranger using my iPod (that my brother gave to me as a birthday gift while he was away at the Navy) if they also didnt have access to all the music that he and I bought. Any sort of hints would really be appreciated.
    Thanks =]

    If you set up the Find My iPod service before the iPod was stolen, then if circumstances allow (the iPod is on, connected to WiFi, and the thief hasn't restored the iPod or otherwise disabled the service) you could wipe the device. If you didn't set up the service, though, then there's nothing you can do.
    I looked at my apps and realised that I don't need them any more so I deleted them. It made a note that the content would be removed from ALL my devices.
    I know that if I remove all my music from my library it will take it away from my iPod, but from my computer as well
    That only happens when you sync the iOS device to your computer. It does not remove anything from a non-connected iPod. So there's no need for you to remove your music, nor your apps, from iTunes on your computer since doing so has no effect on the stolen iPod.
    Regards.

    If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done.  Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.

  • Hi...My IPod touch was recently stolen. I have an Itunes account..can I retreive the serial number of my IPod Touch from my Itunes account? If, so...how may I do this. If I have the serial number, the local police can check the serial numbers at pawn shop

    Hi...My Ipod Touch was recently stolen. In order to help the local police deptartment I need to supply a seria number for the Ipod. Of course, I did not wrtie down the serial number, but I have used he device on my Itunes account. My question: Is there a way to retreive the serial nuber of my Ipod touch from my Itunes account? Thanks you all....

    Yes. See bold below
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • My ipod touch was taken by a family member along with the box containing serial number.  Any way of tracking it ?

    My daughter's Ipod touch was taken by a family member...anyway of telling whether or not it was connected to a copmuter and re assigned under another name...Ipod was originally registered under my name.

    Sorry but no, there is not.

  • My ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put the passcode in my ipod, and i can't do anything with my ipod until it connects. what should i do?

    my ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put in the passcode, and i can't do anything to my ipod until it connects to itunes. so, basically i can't do anything from the ipod or to it from the computor. what should i do?

    Restore...
    From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • My iPod touch was destroyed -- do I need a new screen or new device?

    Hello.
    My 4th Generation iPod touch was run over by a car. The screen has been completely destroyed, with the display now only showing white with several black splotches and there is no detectable touch response, but when plugged in by USB and opened in iTunes, the data on the device seems to be intact. My question is: could my iPod be sent to Apple to have the screen repaired, or do I need new device because the damage is irreversible? (I'm not worried about losing my data here, everything is backed up, I'm looking for whatever option has the monetary advantage.)
    I've attached these images in case they can be of any help.

    Looks pretty bad.  If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should make an appointment at the store's Genius Bar, and take it there for a hand-on evaluation.  Certainly, do not pay anything close to $200 for repair, since you can get a refurb current gen iPod touch (that runs iOS 7) for $219
