Ipod Touch will only turn on plugged into computer, It will sync and as soon as I touch the screen after syncing it shuts down

My Ipod touch 3g will turn on with the cable attached, it will sync with Itunes. But as soon as I touch the screen to unlock it, I get no response to the touch and it immediately crashes. Also everytime I unplug it I have to restore it to a new Ipod to get it to sync. Is the battery bad? The battery meter says its full too. Or any I looking a host of different problems. Could the logic board be bad?

it could be to rule this out are u able to reset the device?
hold both power and home buttons till the apple logo shows
if u get no reponse or it crashes it could be the logic board or the battery is damaged
and i would make an apponintemet at the genius at www.itunes.com to arrange an repair or chat to a apple repair team member

  • My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio.  When I take it out, it goes blank.  Why can I do?

    My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio.  When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank.  The battery shows fully charged.  It appears that the battery is no longer charging.  What should I do?

    Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

  • HT201263 I just bought this iphone not even a month ago. It will not work unless it is plugged into the wall. It will not turn on plugged into a computer. Am I SOL? I do not have insurance.

    You do not have insurance.
    You do have a one year warranty on workmanship and materials.
    Call Apple and set up an appointment to have them look at it.
    They should fix it ot replace it for you.

  • IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer

    My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
    -error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
    -would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
    -person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
    -when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
    -cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
    -when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
    At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
    Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?

    Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
    And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
    I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
    But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say.

  • IPod Nano 5G Keep Restarting When Plugged Into Computer

  • How come my Ipod Touch will only charge when plugged into a computer and not a docking station or wall socket?

    My IPhone works with both the charging USB cable as well as the wall socket and docking station.  Additionally, my IPod used to charge using both the wall socket plug in and the docking station.  My IPod will stay play music when plugged into the docking station, but won't charge.  Further, when I plug my IPod into my computer all it will do is charge and is not recognized by ITunes.  I have done both a soft and hard reset.

    If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Help mini will only play if plugged into speakers

    Got a new ipod mini 4gb two weeks before christmas, it worked fine until yesterday when I was given some speakers for it, to use instead of the headphones. These speakers charge the ipod at the same time, so I thought they were fantastic.
    Today however, the screen is completely blank unless it is plugged into these speakers. - They are official speakers LOGIC 3 IP106, which are designed for ipod's. I've tried resetting, but all i've got is a completely blank screen. I've tried attaching to my pc, but again a completely blank screen. Plug it back into the speakers, apple logo appears, songs start to play straightaway and battery is showing as fully charged.
    Can anyone help please.

    I've tried it so many times it hurts. If I plug it into the speakers, all the personal settings are now gone, so obviously at some point, the reset has worked... but if it's not plugged in then all I get is a blank screen not an apple logo at all.
    I'm now hoping that it will run out of charge as i've heard that can help, but if it's not being used at all, and is sitting in what looks like a turned off state, I'm guessing that it will take a while to loose charge.

  • IPod will not update when plugged into computer?

    Just recently my iPod with not update when I plug it into my computer. My iPod does not show up on my Mac or my iTunes. When I plug it in the screen shows the do not disconnect sign. I have tried to reset my iPod and checked for new updates, but they haven't worked. If anyone knows what to do that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes. Since I installed the new system software (10.4.6) update Sunday night, I cannot update any of my iPods except the iPod video. The iPods also do not show up on my desktop. The battery charges but that's all that happens.

  • Ipad App Store said "20" updates.  I attempted to update w/3G.  Now many apps say "Waiting" and are frozen.  When I go online and plug into computer it just updates and doesn't address the individual apps, which still say "Waiting" and are frozen.

    iPad App Store app said "20 updates".  Attempted to update w/3G.  Updated some, but now many apps say "waiting" and are frozen.  I attempted to update then by attaching to computer Itunes Store.  All it did was very quickly go thru the 4 steps and said, "Synched, OK to uplug."  I clicked my ipad and then apps.  It also said Update complete (or something like that).  Now several apps on iPad are frozen and say "Waiting".  Help!!

    Oh a few other things I forgot.
    The long winded back-ups!!!! JESSSSSSH! Although I think the latest update seems to have bit into this a bit.
    Also why is it that sometimes when the iPhone is syncing it will not say on the actual iPhone that it is syncing. I see it's syncing in iTunes but the iPhone doesn't have the typical do not disconnect -syncing message!!! What's odd is I can see the new apps being updated to the iPhone and as long as I don't open any apps it will finish it's sync but the minute I open any apps the iPhone will lock-up!!!

  • IPhone5 will only charge if plugged into iTunes

    For the past two weeks my phone will not charge with the wall adapter or just to the USB port on my computer (linux).   I have a feeling its all about this "trust this computer" security feature because it won't charge until i "trust" the computer.  Since most of my computers run linux, IOS 7 wont trust them.   I have to power up a XP virtual machine with iTunes, connect the USB cable, trust it and i can start charging my phone.   So annoying.   There should be a way to disable these new security features on the phone.

    Yes, the iPhone has been reset without resolve.
    I am familiar with the accessory issue and as this is an apple iPhone with an Apple Lightning cable and the Apple AC charging block, there should not be an accessory issue (accessory not supported) thus not solved by turning off the JAVA scripting.
    However, to ensure this is the case, it was turned off, the phone was again reset to ensure the iPhone has booted and acknowledge the setting change on boot and the issue still stands. The JAVA setting was also verified to be off when it power up from the reboot.

  • I have had my ipad for 6 months. We had a power failure and ever since my ipad will not charge with the wall adapter that came with it.  It will SLOWLY charge when plugged into computer port. Can anyone help me resolve this?

    I have had my iPad for 6 months.  We recently had a power outage and my iPad was plugged in with the adapter that came with it.  Since then I can not charge iPad with adapter, however I can charge it SLOWLY on my computer.  Do you think the adapter got fried?  Also do you HAVE to have iTunes with an iPad, they were charging me alot of fees for games I did not download NOR give my password to have them downloaded so I cancelled iTunes because fo too many fees. Could this have anyting to do with the battery not charging?

    Since then I can not charge iPad with adapter, however I can charge it SLOWLY on my computer. 
    Well, something's definitely wrong if it won't charge from a wall outlet. Make an appointment at a Genius Bar or take it to an Apple certified repair provider.

  • I just yesterday purchased an iPhone. I was transferring photos and using my iPod touch 4th generation. I used it this morning perfectly fine and right now I clicked on the screen and it took me back to the very beginning start up. Can I get my photos bak

    I just purchased an iPhone, I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone. Everything was working perfectly. This morning as well I used my iPod to listen to music. By the end of the night I hit the home button on my iPod only to see it on the start up page (the one when you first activate your iPod) Is there any way I can get those photos back From my iPod some how! I do now have iCloud nor did I save anything to iTunes cause they were just photos on my iPod. Help please..

    You said " I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone." Just what did yo do?
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. Go to iTunes>Preverences>Version and look to see if y have a bavkup of the iPod. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer N/a since that is part of iCloud
