IPod Touch won't turn on even after home + sleep button fixes

My six-month-old ipod touch (2nd gen, 8G, not jailbroke, not water-damaged) won't turn on. No response at all, just black screen. The computer doesn't notice it's been plugged in. I've tried the following recommended fixes:
*plugging it in for several hours in case it's just a dead battery.
*holding down the home button (for at least 60 seconds), with and without it being plugged in to the computer
*holding down the home button and the sleep button (for at least 60 seconds) with and without it being plugged in
*holding down home (or home + sleep) and then connecting it to the computer while holding the button(s) down
Is there anything else I can try before I brave the rush of post-holiday shoppers and head out for the Mac store?

    - 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

  • HT201412 ipod touch will not turn on even after ive held down the home and sleep buttons

    I have an ipod touch that just recently started to be unresponsive!  It had a good amount of battery left and then all of a sudden it turned off and now will not turn back on even after 30mins of charging.  no charging screen has appeared either.  ive held down both the home n sleep buttons for 10secs or more and still nothing has happened.  then i held down just the home button. still nothing and then i tried holding down the sleep/wake button for a couple seconds and still nothing has happened    are there any other ways of turning my ipod back on or did it **** the bed and i should get a new one?  thanks

  • My iPod Touch won't turn on even when I connect it to the computer.

    About a month ago, I lost my ipod 4th gen, and I got it back yesterday morning. Before I lost it, it was at less than 20% battery life, so I knew it was going to be dead. When I got home to charge it, my computer wouldn't recognize the device. I tried doing the home/lock button thing to no avail. I held the lock button for five minutes without any response. The stupid thing has been plugged into the computer for the last day or so, and nothing is happening to it. I really miss my ipod... Can anybody help?

  • IPod touch will not turn on even after charging and holding buttons

    iPod touch 4th gen will not turn on. I have charged it on computer into a USB port for hours. I have held the SleepWake button together with the Home button for 10 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, and 40 sec. I have tried releasing the SleepWake button first. I have tried disconnecting it from computer then repeating the sequence of buttons. I have tried different USB ports. I have tried reconnecting the iTouch while holding the buttons. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

  • Ipod touch won't turn on, tried holding the 2 buttons and still nothing help!

    I need help in getting my ipod touch to turn on. I tried holding the 2 buttons and it wont turn on.

    I would put it into a recovery mode to fix it. Try these steps:
    1. Unplug the touch from your computer
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake switch until you see the red slider and turn the iPod off. (Note: this may not work and if it doesn't go to the next step.)
    3. Start iTunes
    4. Hold down the Home button and continue to hold it down while you plug your touch back into your computer.
    5. Continue holding it down until iTunes gives you a - "device detected in recovery mode" message.
    6. Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your 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

  • IPOD WON'T TURN ON EVEN AFTER TRYING TO RESET IT

    PLS. HELP! MY IPOD WITH VIDEO WON'T TURN ON EVEN AFTER TRYING TO RESET IT. THE BATTERY IS FULL. IT WILL JUST TURN ON AFTER 24HRS. WHEN THE BATTERY IS DRAINED EVEN WITHOUT USING IT BECAUSE IT IS IN FROZEN STATE. FOR INSTANCE AFTER DISCONNECTING FROM THE COMPUTER SAFELY AFTER CHARGING IT I KEPT IT OPEN BUT WHEN IT TURNED OFF AUTOMATICALLY IT WILL NOT TURN ON.

    Ok well, if you do not have the Ipod starter disk, you can’t do very much to save it anymore. It is completely gone.
    At this point I would recommend you calling Apple and setting up a repair. I would suggest you buy their warrantee plan, ($50 and good from 2 years) and it starts as soon as you buy the plan, NOT when you got your Ipod. The reason I would suggest that is, because if they deny your problem (like they did to me 5 time before finally replacing mine) it will save you a LOT of money. There may also be further issues as well with your Ipod.
    Apples SoS number is:
    1-800-767-2775
    Open 6am-6pm EST.
    They might even have a few ideas on how to fix it as well!
    As for “Viruses” I would highly doubt it. Viruses are programs designed to destroy certain parts of computer. Such as, a virus that destroys windows computer, does not do anything to Mac computer. It does not have the same components. The same thing goes for Ipod, PSP, etc. Files my contain viruses in them, but it would not effect the product in most cases. Only if you transfer the file on it to another computer, could it do anything.
    Your problem is, most likely your ipod just broke. Or should I say, just stopped working. Ipod’s are notorious at doing such things. Apple will take care of it. BUT GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY! That is the only way to make sure they fix it. It is cheaper than buying a $350-$400 new 60 gig Video.
    Good luck my friend, God Life

  • 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.
