IPod Touch will not wake up unless I reset it

I have the 5th generation iPod Touch and have fairly recently updated to 8.1.1.  I  have a problem of it not waking up unless I dod a hard reset (holding both buttons down for 10 seconds).  After it comes up there is a bit of a delay before finger swipes are responded to.  If I turn it off and immediately back on, it does ok.  It appears to be after it has been off for a while that it will not wake up.  The charge is full and it appears to function properly after it's up and going so I don't think it's a hardware issue.  I have noticed since the 8.1.1 update it appears to run warm at times.  Not hot, but warmer that I ever recalling it being.
I tried doing a full reset of the device then restoring it out of desperation but it still acts this way.  Any ideas what is going on?

If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    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

  • IPod touch will not turn on unless charged

    Hi,
    I have reset my iPod, tried turning off and on again dozens of times but every single time I tried to open an app or attempt to play music when it isn't connected to my computer or plugged it shuts off and will not turn back on until I charge it again.
    It is 100% charged and every time I take it off charge to turn on, the startup logo appears and switches itself off.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My Ipod touch will not turn on unless plugged into a dock

    When I try to turn my Ipod touch on, the apple will show up and then shut down.....I found that it will turn on and work if it's plugged in on my music dock, but the second I take it off it goes dead, even though it says the battery is full.
    I'd appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions!

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be 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 defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem then you likely have a hardware problem like a bad battery.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    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...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • 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 iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

    I would try in oreder:

    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • IPod Touch will not connect to wi-fi away from home

    I realise this may not be a fresh topic but I've searched and cannot find an answer.
    My Touch - more or less brand new - connects to my home wi-fi with no hassle. Syncs, the whole bit. Lovely.
    But it won't work away from my home. It recognises wi-fi networks, let's me connect to them but won't actually let me access webpages or update my mail. The mail aspect is the biggest problem as I'm away from it most of the day and bought the Touch to solve the problem. It says it's updating but nothing is downloaded.
    Accessing the internet, even with wi-fi apparently switched on, doesn't work either. I've even tried renewing leases on wi-fi networks but it still won't work. Please help.

    Hello
    Couple reasons for why iPod Touch will not connect to WiFi Networks outside the house
    1. They are using Mac Address Filtering. Which require the WiFi address in your iPod Touch to be programmed into their WiFi Router. Not much you can do to fix that unless you know who owns the network and they are willing to add you
    2. The networks are running in 802.11 n Speed only mode. Thus iPod Touch will not connect as the touch only supports 802.11 B/G connections. They could also be using the old 802.11 (A) connection on the network as well
    3. As stated earlier they could have outdated Firmware/Software on the router. Thus making the router out of date and not able to connect modern day devices. So if you know the owner it may be advised they contact router manufacture or their tech to update the firmware/software and see if touch connects after
    4. Outdated Touch Software. Ensure you have the latest free version of the iPod Touch Software. If you have yet to get one of the paid versions you may wish to research and or see if a friend has a newer software on their touch and is able to connect to the networks you can not.
    5. WiFi Network security the hot spot is using. Sometimes old standard WEP security can prevent Touch from properly connecting and getting on the network. It is recommended if you know the owner or tech that runs it to try and use WEP 128 bit 13 character password or stronger more modern day wifi security.
    If they are using 40/64 bit WEP. Try adding a $ and then the password that they provide you and see if you can connect.
    If you get the time please visit your local Apple retail store so they can further look into the touch and test it on the store wifi network. If for some reason it does not work there and they determine possible HW service is needed they will speak about your in warranty options.

  • My new ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.

    My new Ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.  My two laptops, and Ipad are already on.  I have tried resetting and still it will not sync.

    What happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi? Any error messages? Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, work through the remaining troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document.

  • My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo

    My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo (unless the battery is dead, Then it tell me to charge it).  Once it gave me the connect to itunes screen.  I clicked restore in itunes but the ipod went back to the apple logo before the update download finished. I tried calling apple but my over the phone technical support just expired. PLEASE HELP! 

    This can be a corrupted software/firmware on your iPod touch. If the recovery mode you did was not forced, then try to force it into recovery mode. This is how:
    1. Force it to shut down (note: this sort of shut down should not be preformed unless you are in a situation like this because it is a hardware shutdown and will not attempt to unload software, save unsaved files, safely stop system processes, etc.) to do this, hold down the power/sleep button and home button for about 7 or 10 secs. Also I might be incorrect but I heard that you can just hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes blank and then immediately let go.
    2. Have iTunes running. Hold down the home button and plug the USB cable that came with your iPod into it. Keep on holding on the home button until a picture of a USB cable going into the iTunes logo appears. You are now in a forced recovery mode. (In case your not so tech-savvy forced recovery is the same as a normal recovery mode that an iPod might do if it knows an update or restore failed.)
    3. iTunes should have shown a pop-up message about it found a iPod in recovery mode. Click OK, click your iPod from the sidebar and click restore. The iPod will show the apple logo for a while and iTunes will say "preparing iPod for restore" and then "waiting for iPod" this was the longest part of updates for me.
    4. iPod will reboot when restore is completed. When I update my iPod it one time showed the apple logo for one whole sync until it showed the slide to unlock screen, so do not worry. P.S if that does not work do a DFU mode restore ( I've been told DFU mode stands for device firmware update mode) I'm running out of room, so google it. Hope this helped ;)

  • My ipod touch will not reset and I can't restore in iTunes since it won't allow me to access wth a passcode on the ipod.

    My iPod touch will not reset.  I have tried to the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously, but after the apple appears it goes back to a screen that shows the spiralling wheel that moves around 5 times, stops for a second and then repeats this cycle over and over.  I tried to restore through iTunes, but I get an error message that says that I need to enter the passcode on the iPod which is impossible since it won't stop the wheel.  Any ideas?

    Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • 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:
