Ipod touch will not turn on and will not connect to computer!
Help please! I accidentally dropped my ipod the other day (it has dropped before and not been a problem) and now it won't turn on or connect to a computer. I have googled it and tried everything! It is still under warranty but unfortunately the warranty doesn't cover accidents. Any suggestions??
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. It could be that the water corroded the contacts so try to clean any corrosion from them.
- Then charge overnight and try what you did before
If still does not work:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs.. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or send it in to Apple. See:

My iPod Touch power button is stuck and will not pop back up. My iPod Touch Repairs and Service Coverage is still active, Does that mean I can get a new iPod Touch?
Apple will most likely exchange it. The one you receive will be refurbished.

I have tried many times to restore my new IPod Touch 5G in I Tunes and it will not allow me to do it. My Ipod will not turn on at all even when on a fresh charge. Only displays the arrow leading up to ITunes logo. I have tried the method of holding the home button and on button and this does not work. Any help appreciated.

Ipod does not turn on and is not recognized in Itunes and computer
For some reason, one day, my ipod nano 4th generation just stopped working. On the device manager, I can see that the apple mobile USB driver is installed but it is not listed as an external hard drive on my computer. When I plug my ipod in, I have to push the top and the middle button together until it makes the sound when the computer recognizes a new USB. Then, it keeps saying 'waiting for ipod' and I eventually get a 1601 error message. I've tried everything, and it doesn't work at all. do you guys know how to fix this? This is just making me angry and furious.
I have the same problem as from this morning my ipod nano just won't turn on and when I plug into computer its recognising an external hard drive but NOT syncing with itunes....Its just gone completely dead!!! Can anyone help?

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. -
HT201263 My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old and will not turn on
My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old. Tried to turn on today and nothing. Plugged into computer held down sleep/wake button and plugged into computer with usb. Nothing. It has not been dropped or bumped. It has been stored as I don't use it often only to play music on spotify thru internet. I probably haven't used this ipod more than 20 times. Any suggestions?
- After being connected to a charging source for at least an hour see if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
- If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -

If the issue persists, the iPod may need hardware repair. Just request repair online, make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it, or call AppleCare.

Last week my 5th generation ipod touch dropped face down onto the ground. When picked up the screen was black and did not turn back on. I tried to connect it to the laptop but it did not recognize the ipod. Also when it is plugged into the laptop the area by the camera gets warm like it is charging. But still has a black screen. I've tried to reset and count to 10, but nothing happends. Is there anything that can be done to fix this? Or is it completely dead? Somebody, anybody please help.

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
