IPod Touch will not turn on (error message 2005)

I tried to update my ist generation iPod touch to OS 3.0. At some point during the update, the screen turned off and now it won't come back on. I'm running Windows 7. When I plug the Ipod in, I get the USB noise and itunes gives me the following error: "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. An unknown error occurred (2005)."
Needless to say, I tried unplugging it, replugging it, restarting the computer, holding down both the sleep and home buttons by themselves and together for various amounts of time up to 30 seconds, plugging the iPod into a different computer that is running Vista and doesn't have itunes installed, and doing all of the above in every combination I could imagine.
All help appreciated!

Well, thanks to Google, I'm on my way to recovery. Turns out the iPod was in DFU (Download Firmware Update) mode. Here are the instructions I followed to get in back into restore/update mode:
1. Run itunes and plug in iPod.
2.Hold power and home buttons down until "ding dong" indicates device disconnected
3.Release the power button (but keep holding the home button down until "ding dong" sounds againand release the home button.
4.iTunes should see it as a DFU’ed iPod and should ask you to automatically restore its firmware.
I had to repeat steps 1-3 a couple of times before iTunes would take over and run the restore.
Itunes is downloading the software, which takes awhile, and the screen is white, but hopefull this will be fixed soon.

Error 11 is a strange one...if you search the discussions for error 11 you will get a number of hits but none with a real resolution other than getting the iPod to restore, which you have done. And one person indicates this does not appear in the support data base...already found that out.
If you have restored, have a backup and can restore from that, you might try the update again, or wait for the next update whenever that comes out.
Not a very satisfactory answer but if it is working again...

Ipod touch will not turn on unless plugged in

My Ipod touch will not turn on, Ive plugged it in and it comes on it has a charge but as soon as I unplug it it goes black ... I have tried to restart it but there is just a black screen

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function.

My Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function. When it does, once in a blue moon, after 5 minutes it freezes. I am wondering if its becuase battery was left dead for 2 weeks or problems with the iOS. Resetting does not help.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try a Reset
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...

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 ipod touch will not turn on, i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it wont charge. and plus its battery was already full. why wont it turn on??

So one day is was laying next to my ipod touch and i tried to turn it on but it wouldnt. so then i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it didnt charge, the computer didnt pick up the divice. so now my ipod touch will not turn on, and i have no idea why. PLEASE HELP.

mine did the same thing. What I did was hold the home and power button down for 10 seconds but that did not work. I figured out that I just had to hold them down for a long time like 15 to 45 seconds. Then it finally turned on. You may have to do it a couple of time. But if this does not work send it in to the apple company they fixed mine completly free they even sent me a box to send it in. I hope my answer helps you fix it.

2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on

My 2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on. I have held the lock button down for up to 30 seconds and it remains a black screen. When I put it on the charger, the screen usually shows the battery amount, but it will not do that either. I checked the battery about 10 minutes before it began this, and it was about 75% charged. There is no way it could be dead. It will not even show the apple, as if it were powering on.

- Connect the iPod to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod.
- Next see if resetting the iPod will make the iPod visible so you can restore 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 see if recoverymode will make the iPod visible. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

IPod Touch will not turn on unattached, Restore error 1604/1611

Up through yesterday my iPod touch was working fine. However, after disconnecting it from syncing yesterday, it would not turn on. I have tried the manual reboot without success. The iPod will not turn on by just using the external power buttons. It will remain on when plugged into my computer until I try to restore it, at which time it shuts off and i get either Error 1604 or Error 1611. I've tried pretty much all the solutions I've found and none work. Any suggestions, at least on how to get it to stay on?
