IPod Touch won't charge/turn on even after resetting it and charging it for hours. No water or heat damage. Worked fine yesterday.

My iPod Touch was working fine yesterday and there is no heat or water damage. Then, it died, like it normally does after it's used for a long period of time. So, I went to charge it in a wall outlet (like usual) and the battery symbol with the lightning bolt came up. I figured it would just have to charge for a few hours. So, I let it charge, and when I disconnected it, it said it needed to be plugged in to charge... it was like I hadn't charged it at all. Like I said, there is no water or heat damage. And I haven't dropped it either. I tried to reset it and I tried putting it in rice in case some mysterious water damage happened that I didnt know about. That didnt work. Now it wont be recognized while connected to the computer or the wall outlet. I even tried different outlets and cords and plugs. I don't have a local Apple Store that can repair it. Someone told me it may need a new battery, but I dont have the money to get it sent out to be fixed and get a new battery and I cant afford to take it apart myself and replace the battery and then end up breaking the whole iPod. I need help here! I don't know whats going on or what could have caused it or what I can do to fix it. If anyone has any solutions for me, please answer. Thank you.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
If still problem your iPod needs service.

Ipod touch won't charge turn on and screen has silver edges

I have an 8g ipod touch that was working fine last night. Shut it off normally. Then this morning when I went to turn it back on it would not respond. I tried plugging it in to the charger and nothing happened. I then tried to hook it up to my iTunes account to try and reset it and my iTunes did not find it plugged in.
The screen is black with a silver edge. HELP!!

Try a hard reset.

IPod Touch won't charge, turn on, or do anything.... HELP?

Hi
I have a 1st Gen iPod Touch
the problem was
it had 10% power left
so i charge it with an AC wall charger
after about 2 mins
the ipod shutdown immediately
like without the circling thing
then i unplug the ipod
plug it in my laptop (a PC, vista, with itunes)
nothing happen
i tried holding the Sleep/Wake button & Home for 30 secs, Failed
i tried holding Sleep/Wake button to turn it on, but again failed
So i notice it has this weird respond
the wall charger has a little light, whenever it's plugged in, it green.
whenever it's charging something, it turns red
so even though i plug my itouch for hours, it still green
and the weird thing is
after i unplugged the wall charger with the itouch still connected
the green light is still on
so i assumed the itouch gave out power
i'm a software guy but no electronic stuff guy
so i think somehow the circuit thingy in the battery has been switched from getting energy to giving out battery
is there anyway i can fix this?
the bad thing are it won't turn on, it won't charge
contact me at [email protected]
if you have any problem reading this
because i think it's confusing at first

It sounds like something fried.
If you're lucky you just need the battery replaced.
If it's still under warranty send it to Apple if it isn't then is there an iPod Doctor where you are ?
That battery replacement out of warranty was running around $75 when I last checked but if the charge is more you'll have to weigh what ever the repair cost is against buying a refurbished Touch.

Itunes error 0xe800005E then Ipod Touch won't reset

I was getting an error 0xe800005E when I tried to connect my new iPod touch to itunes, so I installed the new version of itunes to no avail. Then I reset my ipod touch, which now is stuck in a cycle where the apple logo comes on then it goes to a white screen before going blank again and going back to the apple logo, and on and on.
Is there any way to resolve this or do I just have to get it serviced?

I've checked all of that, but it doesn't seem to offer me any solutions as I did everything suggested and now the ipod won't restart, it's just stuck in a cycle of powering up from the apple logo to a white screen then going blank again and doing the same over and over again... presumably until the battery runs down.

IPod Touch won't reset even after holding down power and home button

My kid was playing the Very Hungry Cat App and all of a sudden the screen went white on my iPod Touch 4th Gen 32gb.
I tried holding down the Sleep/Wake button + the Home button for ten seconds and it just stayed white. I tried plugging it into my computer and the computer doesn't recognize it was plugged in. Lastly I tried doing the 3 second sleep hold, add 10 second hold on the home button, then release sleep and hold the home for another 20 seconds and it didn't work.
I'm currently letting it sit there hoping the battery dies and that works.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

You are doing the ony thing you can. That let the battry fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset, conncting to computer and placing in recovery mode. If still white then you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the gensiur bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch won't restore, turn on or update

My ipod touch will not restore.I use it only for music and my 6 year old plays the games. It was dead flat after a long trip yesterday and when I tried to charge it nothing happen. I then plugged it into the computer and a msg came up that it was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. When I pressed restore is comes up with another msg to say "software for this Iphone is not currently available update the latest version of itunes and try again" I checked to make sure I have the latest version of itunes which I do. It comes up as an Iphone which it isn't. My husband has the iphone and can plug his phone in no worries. I thought it wasn't because I don't plug into itunes very often and my ipod was behind the times in updates but when I rang Apple they are saying I have a version of the software to advanced for itunes ***!!!! Have no idea how that happen Help

IPod Touch 4G will not turn on, charge or connect to computer.

I purchased my iPod Touch 4G in October 2010 in America. Last week, while my iPod Touch was connected to my laptop with the USB cable, I pressed the home button with no response. I have tried all forms of reset that I could find on the Apple website with little luck. The iPod Touch will not turn on, connect to the laptop, charge or show up in iTunes. I have tried on several occassions with numerous different methods to charge the iPod Touch but to no avail. There is no response to anything I do when trying to rectify the problem. I believe that my warranty is no longer intact as it has been over a year since the purchase, and I will not be returning to America again until the end of this year. I also updated the iPod Touch to the latest iOS version available before it ceased working.
Any help is much appreciated.

My iPod Touch won't sync, charge and is not recognised in Computer

Hi,
I have tried all the support suggestions on the Apple site, but my iPod Touch, that is less than 6 months old, does not come up on My Computer when connected, will not charge on the pc, wall charger or car charger, and will not sync. All I get on the screen, internittently, is the apple symbol - nothing else.
Any suggestions?

- Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring via iTunes
- Next try placing the iPod in DFU mode and restoring.

- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Touch won't charge/turn on

As normal my iPod died during school today. I got home and plugged it into the computer but it wouldn't work, the computer and iTunes didn't say anything about the iPod being plugged in, and it wouldn't turn on at all. I waited for a while but noting happened so I used another USB cord, and that didn't work either. So I plugged it into a different USB port, and that didn't work either. So I plugged it into the wall to charge, and that didn't work. So then I tried to charge it from the wall with the other USB cord, and that wouldn't work either.
I don't understand, why has this happened? How do I fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these programs
For PC

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod touch won't turn on unless pluggged into wall outlet!!

Hello. A while ago, my iPod started shutting off randomly, even though my battery was fully charged. After it shut off, I would turn it back on, then it was fine. However, as time went on, the time from when I turned it back on(after it randomly shutting off) to when it would shut off again, started to decrease. Soon, my iPod could not stay on for more then a couple seconds.
Now, my iPod touch won't even turn on unless it is plugged into the wall power source. It will even rarely turn on when plugged into the computer. I have reset its settings, and also erased all the data. After doing this, I tried to unplug it from the power source to see if it would stay on, and it did not. (still, when the iPod is plugged in, it says it is fully charged.)Also my iPod is updated to the most recent software.
I am unsure of why this is happening, and quite upset because I have only had this iPod touch since the Christmas of 2010. Is this a defective device, is something wrong with the battery, or is there something wrong with the software?
If I could have advice for fixing this problem that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You can try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. However, you likely have a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store might be useful.

My new iPod touch won't let me view my pictures. It lets me open the app but then crashes when I try to open an album. I've tried resetting and turning it off for a while but nothing has worked. What can I do?

My new 4th generation iPod touch won't let me view my pictures.. It lets me get into the app but when I try to look at an album it crashes. I've tried resetting and turning it off for a while and nothing has worked. What do I do?

- Try restoring the iPod from backup
- Next restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

So my ipod touch won't turn on and I've tried to reset it but nothing i do seems to work. Also, I can't even get the Apple Logo to appear. It really won't start. what can i do?

try pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears.. this worked for me when my ipod touch didnt turn on or show the apple symbol.. hope this helps

My 1st generation Ipod touch won't turn on at all and whenever I press the buttons to reset it all I get is a white screen, or a white screen with black lines across.

You can work through the five 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of corrupted software.

It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.
