IPod will no longer turn on or even charge.  (5th Gen iPod)

One night I was using my iPod like I normally do. It was half way out of battery. I left my iPod on my bed and went to the kitchen. I got back in around 3 minutes. I went to grab my iPod and pushed the power button and it didn't turn on. I then pressed the home screen button and wouldn't turn on either. My iPod now does not want to turn on at all. I put it to charge and it won't turn on that way either. What should I do?

Try:                                               
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 another cable                     
- 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.

    Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
    If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

  • My iPod will no longer turn on after I fully charged it. HELP!

    I knew I should have never trusted Apple with personal files. I put all of my pictures from my digital camera (1,800 of them) on the ipod for "safe" keeping. Now my ipod will no longer turn on. I fully charged the ipod until the "charged" icon appeared. Then I disconnected it. A couple hours later I tried to turn it on and it no longer turns on. I've had this iPod for about 6 months and I'm pretty sure it's not a dead battery. It's been very good with me. The hold switch is NOT activated. I went through all of the common sense troubleshooting steps. I tried to reset the ipod. I tried recharging it on AC power. I tried reconnecting it via USB on computer. I tried the updater, which doesn't work b/c ipod won't turn on. I've also tried hitting it...jk. I also have 10,330 songs on here. This is my life on my ipod. I can't afford to lose this info. 60GB gone. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

  • TS1367 My White 13" MacBook (the last model ever produced) will no longer turn on, and the charger light won't even luminesce when plugged in.

    My MacBook has been suffering for the last 2 and a half years or so, and finally called it quits today.
    There were many things wrong with it, but the most debilitating issue was with the battery; if the computer wasn't plugged into a wall, it would immediately die. Upon being powered back on, the clock would always be reset to 12/31/2000 at 7:00 PM. As I stated in the title, it will no longer even power on or recognize a charger. Help would be much appreciated. If it's a battery issue then I can replace it, but I don't want to buy a new battery if my computer is totaled.

    First see the MagSafe troubleshooting tips:Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters and check to see that all looks ok.  You might want to try using another charger in case the charger is faulty.  If that doesn't help, take the MacBook Pro and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test the system to see where the fault is.

  • Can no longer enable disk use on my 5th gen ipod since updating to 9.0.13.5

    Hey everyone,
    I have an 5th gen 80 gig iPod that I use as a portable hard drive, having gotten a new Ipod. However, since I updated to iTunes version 9.0.3.15 this morning, the "Enable Hard Disk" option doesn't even show up at all. Is there a way to restore the option, or enable it outside of itunes?
    Below is a picture of my screen with the "Summary" page open and my iPod connected.. Am I missing something?

  • My iPod will no longer turn on after attempting to update my iTunes to the newest version.

    Pretty self-explanatory for the most part. I was attempting to update iTunes to the newest version because I have been putting it off forever. It's not currently the newest version..however when it was updating, my iPod went into recovery mode (the screen flashed to the iTunes symbol & the USB symbol) & then after a few minutes of trying to restart it (pushing the home & the lock button) it went completely black & will not turn on whatsoever. My iTunes STILL will not recognize it & I have done everything to try to turn it on/get it to work, but nothing happens.
    Additional details that just happened: When I try to get it out of the black screen of death by holding the home & the lock button now, the Apple icon flashes for a few seconds, but won't fully turn on, which I don't understand why? Now it's back to the recvovery mode screen.
    Any suggestions? It's fully charged, I know that for sure.
    I would really appreciate the help though! I walk 20 minutes to class every day & always have it with me. It's a 4th Generation iPod Touch.
    Thank you all!

  • Ipod Will No Longer Turn On

    I'm having a issue with my Ipod Classic. It has worked fine since I purchased it but all of a sudden it simply won't turn on at all. I've tried all the methods of rebooting it and charging it but it simply will not do anything. It was not dropped or mishandled in any way and was used this morning on the way to work in perfect working fashion. Tried it after work and it simply will not turn on at all. Help would be appreciated.

    hello there my name is Sarah I have a 20 gig i pod classic and mine inst turning on as well i never dropped it i tried everything to get it to turn on and it still wont it shows the apple on the screen and the charging battery life thing but still will not turn on? what to do? im having the same problem as the other person it *****?please help?

  • My Ipod will no longer turn on could this be the battery

    my ipod has quit and it has been on the charger could this be the battery? I have had it for over 6 years

    More than likely, especially given the lengthy age of the device.  Batteries only have so many charge cycles they are good for.  After that, only time will tell and if your case, it sounds like it's totally shot in terms of being able to hold any sort of charge.
    You can opt to have Apple swap out the battery for a flat fee or you can also choose to send it a third party service center who can do the same job for a little less.  A quick Google search for "iPod battery replacement" should give you quite a few results to work with in terms of finding the best deal.
    Lastly, if you feel like you are handy with repairing small electronics, you can choose to purchase a new battery and swap it out yourself.  There are excellent guides over at iFixit that can walk you through the process step-by-step.

  • I had a fully charged fifth gen iPod touch.  Had nothing but trouble since updating to iOS8.  This morning the iPod was fully charged. Turned it off-on standby. Came back and it won't turn on. Tried all troubleshooting tricks. Anyone ideas?

    This morning, I had my fully charged 5th gen iPod touch.  Have had lots of problems with it since updating to iOS8.  After briefly using it (successfully may I add), I switched it off to standby.  Came back only 10 minutes later, and it would not turn on. Tried all the obvious solutions, even switched out the lightening cord.  Apple support could not help, and their only solution is to call.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Any other solutions other than obvious ones?  iTunes no longer even recognizes the iPod. Thank everyone!

    Hey Wildfarmrose, Have you tries any of these: iOS: Not responding or does not turn on , if still no joy try DFU Recovery Mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    About the only other thing to try is let the battery drain, then attempt to charge for 30 minutes and attempt to turn on, otherwise try another cable, and/or different computer, if still no joy most likely dealing with a hardware issue, schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple store and have your iPod evaluated. Don't forget to bring your cable also.  Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

  • IHome weirdness with 5th gen iPod

    I have both a 4th gen iPod and a 5th gen iPod and I find that my iHome that works beautifully with the 4th gen iPod works very strangely with the 5th gen... and it's not because I don't have the foot replacements for the inserts. I find that there is a noticably longer delay in waking up the 5th gen iPod from sleep than the 4th gen and I believe that the internal clock uses through the dock connector by the iHome doesn't take this into account. As a result, I often wake up to the internal beeper even though I have the iPod connected. Further, I find that the playlist that I go to sleep with is not the playlist that is used when the alarm goes off... it seems the iPod starts playing my entire song library. I don't know what the problem is... but I suspect that it's more the iPod difference than a problem with the iHome (particularly since it works so well with my 4th gen).
    Anybody have any ideas?

    Yes and no... the iHome worked fine with my 4th gen iPod in that whatever playlist I had paused when I went to sleep would play when I woke up. For some reason, my 5G will just start playing the complete song library when I wake up. My point is, some iPods work, and some don't (the recent models having a problem).

  • Ipod touch will no longer turn on or charge.

    Hi there, I recently restored my iPod touch and i didn't really watch the restore. I know the loading bar on ipod was nearly at end. Anyways, 10-15mins later i go to use my ipod and clicking the home button nothing displays.
    I then try to turn on, yet nothing. So googling, i left the battery to completely drain if there is any.
    I plug my ipod into my computer and nopthing happens, it does not wake up(turn on) or even charge. I have tried an Iphone wall charger, yet no response from my ipod touch as well.
    So i kept googling and i found out about some DFU mode, there was lots of different combinations on the web, i tried them all, yet my ipod does not respon. No noises, notifications or anything in itunes(if itunes closed, does not open up!)
    It has now been a good few days since it stopped working, and i cannot think is there anymore to do. It is still in warranty for a few months.
    Only problem is, i do not think i;m entitled to phone support, and the nearest genius for me is hours away.
    PS: my iPod touch was restored to version 3.2 (latest version if thats wrong <!-- )
    I have itunes 9.1
    Running windows 7 rc
    I have tried my ipod also on the following:
    My dual boot vista, another computer with vista and a Mac Pro.
    Can anyone suggest anything or help me please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Malcom

    Sorry to resurrect this thread, but a few miles from where i live is a shop called Cancom, that sells apple hardware. They are authorized service provider.
    Do you think they will accept my ipod touch in for repairs/replacement?

  • My daughter's ipod touch got hot while charging and will no longer turn on.

    My daugther's ipod touch got hot and will no longer turn on.  Is there a solution to this problem or is the ipod fried?

    I'm not sure if it's fried or not, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds or so. Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.
