Ipod touch will not turn on and is not reading in the usb port
ipod touch will not turn on or connect to my computer
I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

My daughter has an ipod touch with alot of games and music on it. The computer it was synced to is forever gone and on her new computer some of the games dont show up along with her music. She is worried if she connects it to her new computer all will be lost. Is there anyway for this to not happen? The ipod is on its last life due to a cracked screen, and as for the games she has spent money on them such as smurf village and others. When i looked at game center on my phone about less than half of that game showed up. Is there anyway to fix these things before its to late and eveything is gone forever?
THANK YOU.Follow these instructions

f i bought the ipod touch 4th generation at walmart and i didn't keep the reciept,if it's broken which way could i do?
If accidental damage like a cracked screen from dropping it, that is not covered by the warranty
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Try connecting it to your iTunes library in recovery mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Otherwise, try connecting in DFU mode.

My iPod touch won't turn on - and doesn't successfully restore
Hi,
This is really a last resort, because I feel I've tried everything at MY disposal to fix my issue.
Problem:
I have an iPod Touch - 1st Generation, with all updated firmware and updated iTunes to go with it. It simply won't turn on. When plugged in to my computer via USB, it displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen, and I follow the steps to restore it. It fails during restore though. Here's what happens:
1. The screen shuts off and changes to the Apple loading screen
2. iTunes starts "Preparing iPod for restore"
3. The iPod screen shuts off, nothing being shown
4. iTunes stays on "Preparing iPod for restore" for a minute or so
5. I then get an error saying "Unable to restore iPod - Error 1603"
And yes, I have tried recovering my iPod, going into DFU mode, and also going to the help page for Error 1603 and following instructions. The only thought is that the battery is dead, because nothing else pops up.
I've have the iPod for just under 3 years, and it has worked for the whole time up until a few months ago - the battery was not lasting as long as usual.
Any help would be appreciated!
ThanksTry a new battery.
