Ipod Touch went blank...dead
Charged it overnight as always, but when I woke up it will not turn on. Nothing, even tried to do hard reboot (hold both buttons down for 10 secs) its dead....any ideas?
It's only like 3-4 months old. It cant be something like that. can it? I have read somewhere else that you can do something like plugging it in to your computer, and doing the hard reboot thing, BUT instead you only let go of the power button and keep your finger on the home button, it will then 'wake up' from where ever it went to, i cannot try this at the moment, but has anyone else tried this with theres thats done the same thing?

Ipod Touch went blank while updating apps
ipod touch went blank while updating new apps i was updating enigmo it was syncing with itunes using windows then itunes got hanged and ipod touch also
now its screen is black and i tried to reboot it but cant i press all buttons nothign happening and ipod is very hot even though its not connected to itunes any one can help me?First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. 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. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -

My ipod touch went fully dead and wont power up what do i do ?
ok so my ipod is a 3gr and it died, and when i put it on the charger the big red charge symbol came up with a bolt of lighting under it and next the apple logo came up but it keeps shuting of and going to the charge symbol with the bolt and then the apple logo
Does it do anything at all? Try connecting it to the computer. If not, hold down the power and home buttons for 10 sec, let go of the power button and carry on holding the home button for 15 sec. Let go and connect to the computer.

my ipod touch went dead and has been charging for an hour. screen is blank white, lit up. home screen will not come up. What do I do?
If iTunes recognizes your iPod Touch, then try doing a software restore in iTunes by clicking in your iPod and clicking the Restore button. This will restore your iPod to factory settings. So back up your Music, Videos, and purchases before restoring.

my ipod touch 4 is dead i just bought last feb..what happened?doesn't want to ON..went tottaly BLACK..
Does it still charge if you use the wal adapter? If yes, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode to your computer, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore
If this does not help, contact Apple to get it serviced: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center -

Let the battery drain dead, recharge it and test. If it still does not work, restore.

My IPOD Touch initially had a white screen. I tried correcting this by restoring default settings via ITunes. The Restore Failed with error 1602 and now the IPOD touch is completely dead. It will not power on or respond when I plug it into my PC via USB. I get an error on my PC stating that device attached to USB port is not recognizable. Can anyone help?
Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?, why is my ipod touchs screen blank?
Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?
how do you mean? does it not turn on? or is it on but nothing booting up?
If it doesn't turn on is it possible that the battery is totally drained? if so, charge it fora while and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't boot up you can try resetting it - hold down the sleep and home keys, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple logo come up.
You can also try restoring it with iTunes.
If that doesn't work then you may need to take it into the Apple store and have them take a look at it. -
Daughter's IPod Touch went through the washer! Any hope? What to do?
Her new IPod Touch went through the washer. Can anything be done to salvage it?
Do not turn it on. Put it in rice for 1 - 2 weeks. Take it out, and attempt to turn it on. If it says to plug it in, you can jump up and down. Plug it in, and charge it. If it works, yay!
Did you know, if the metal inside was a metal that didn't rust, and no electricity was going through the circut boards, you could wash your iPod as many times as you wanted. Just when you want to use it again, make sure it's dry. -
Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?
No. Just put it in rice as is.
You may have success in getting it to boot after using the rice technique, but it will sincerely doubtfully never fully function again. -
My Ipod touch went black and won't turn on
My Ipod touch went black and won't turn on
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 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.

Ipod Touch Went Through washing Machine
So my ipod touch went through the wassh but not the dryer. I know, it was really stupid. So, i put my ipodd in a bag of rice for a week and it seemed to absorb all the water out of the screen. The ipod looks like it is in perfect condition.
however, It only turns on if it is plugged in with an old ipod cable, going through firewire. As soon as i unplug it, it turns off. for a while, it connected to my itunes but ever since i reset it, it hasn't. Another problem is when i go to general setting it says i have "No WI-FI"
I don't have extended warranty. is it time to say goodbye to it or is there anything i can do?Warranty does not cover damage, only defects. Putting it through the wash cycle is not a defect.
Time for a new IPT, most likely. Some credit cards offer damage coverage, perhaps home owners/renters insurance (although the deductible is likely higher than the value of the IPT). -
