Ipod touch won't turn on + broken home button.

I bought my 5th generation Ipod touch in September 2013, so it's just over a year old.
The other night I was scrolling through instagram, pressed the sleep button, then 5-10 minutes later I needed to search something but my Ipod screen stayed black. This has happened before to me, once when I had an Iphone so I let it die then charged it and it was okay. Second time was with this Ipod just over a week ago, I let it sit overnight and brought it to a device repair store and they said I just needed a new charger.
And now this. I let it sit overnight, plugged it in and it's stopped working. I tried plugging it into my computer and nothing showed up. Now since my home button is broken, I use assistive touch so I'm very limited with what I can do. Some people have said plug it in and put it into recovery mode, but that requires a home button and being able to connect to your itunes.
This ipod is probably a waste of time but I have too much stuff on there to just let it die forever. Is there ANYTHING I can possibly do? Is there anyway that Future Shop or another repair store can help me? Please help!

  • IPod Touch won't turn on and Home button is broken!

    I tried to restore my iPod touch with iTunes, then I got error 1601. From this moment, the device won't turn on. The home button is broken and warranty is expired, so I don't know how to solve this problem. I know people who press power and home button at the same time, (and it works) but as I said, the home button is broken. It was broken long before the restore attempt, and I already tried every single way to fix it.

    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • IPod touch won't turn on and home button isn't working

    So two days ago I was using my iPod and I put it town for a few minutes, and when I came back it would not turn on. It was fully charged so it is not a battery issue. It's a iPod touch 5th gen. Usually when this happens I do the home and power button press but now my home button doesn't work. I don't know what happened to that either because it suddenly stopped working. I tried to use TinyUmbrella and Macboot (or whatever it's called) but they didn't work because they didn't recognize my device. Is there any other way to fix this? Or any way to get the home button un stuck?

    Hi, my 4th generation iPod touch won't turn on. I lost it for about a year, and I plugged it in and it wouldn't turn on. Please help!
    ~Thanks

    Make sure it's fully charged. Hold the Sleep/Wake + Home buttons down (at least 15-seconds) until Apple logo lights up. If that does not work, you may need a new battery.

  • My iPod Touch won't turn on, why?

    My iPod touch won't turn on. It all of a sudden turned off and will not come back on no matter what I do. I've tried holding the lock and home button in at the same time, I've tried charging it all day and I've tired pluging it into my MacBook and reseting it but none of that works. Please help, thank you.

  • My iPod Touch won't turn on or sync to my computer...

    My iPod Touch won't turn on or sync to my computer... When I hook it up the apple icon just comes on but nothing more, my battery isn't shot because when I take it off the power, it will just stay on till the battery dies.... Any suggestions??

    you might have to restore your ipod. you need to turn off your ipod and then hold down the home button while plugging it in to your computer (dont turn it on just hold down the home button).

  • My ipod touch won't turn on anymore!!!

    MY IPOD TOUCH WON'T TURN ON ANYMORE!!
    I don't know what happened. but I am beginning to think apple is ripping me and everyone off.
    I don't know why I paid about 200-300 dollars for this iPod to be frozen or not turn on anymore!
    When I downloaded Currency converter pro, it just froze my ipod.
    Either it's that problem, or something is wrong.
    I never dropped it in water or anything bad.
    PLEASE HELP.

    Have you've tried holding down the power button for several seconds?
    If so and you're still getting nothing you may have to do a hard restore.
    here's how to do it on Mac OS:
    1. Connect you're iPod to the computer with the sync cable, and open iTunes.
    2. Hold down the power and home buttons for 10seconds, then release the power button (continue holding the home button for about another 6-8 seconds). iTunes should display a message stating that the iPod is in restore mode and needs to be restored before it can be used (or something to that effect).
    3.Hitting the restore button will likely give an error message. You'll need to hold down option and click the restore button, which will bring up a file browser. Navigate to *<your user name>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/* and choose iPod2,12.2.1_5H11aRestore.ipsw (or similar ipsw file depending on your ipod, or iphone, generally choose the newest one) and click open.
    4. Wait for it to restore, when that's finished you should be able to further restore it using the backup that was generated when you last synced it.
    I have never done this on windoze, but I imagine it's quite similar, just not sure where you'd find the ipsw file.

  • I recently reset my iPod touch 4th gen. (holding power and home buttons at the same time.)  now it won't let me change my wallpaper, in the photo section or the settings. Any ideas, please? Thanks.

    What happens when you try to change them?
    Try:
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi.  They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine.  They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete.  Ideas?

    I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

  • 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.
