Ipod will not turn on or charge

Hello there!! I've never done this before so hear it goes...
My ipod (5th generation video ipod) will not respond when I push any of the buttons.
The hold button is off.
I've tried to reset it but the computer will not reconize it. All the software is up to date.
I would have gone thru all of the 5 R's if I could turn my ipod on.
I hooked my ipod on to the charger with no response.
This situation is sounding pretty hopeless. I hope someone can help and tell me otherwise?
Help me pretty please??
Thanks in advance...

Try these.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
My iPod won't wake up.
iPod touch-wheel is unresponsive after waking from sleep.
If none of the above help, it may need service.
You can arrange online service here.

  • "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. The Server does not support this version of iTunes." Any thoughts? Also, iPod will not turn or or charge (tried in my laptop, house computer and dock) I have all the lastest updates to my knowledge

    "iPod software update server could not be contacted. The Server does not support this version of iTunes." iPod will not turn on or charge or reset settings. I tried plugging it in my laptop, house computer and docking station to charge and nothing. Also, I have all the latest software updates to my knowledge. This is a classic 8GB iPod, running of Windows 7. Any thoughts/suggestions?

    only thing that seems to work so far is syncing without photos and also check here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206849?start=30&tstart=0

  • My Ipod will not turn on or charge.

    First signs of something not right is that my camera would freeze. I rebooted it and that seemed to have fixed the problem with my camera. But now it won't even cut on. Even when trying to get it to charge the charge indicator won't even show when it's connected to an ac or usb. I've tried to reset and reboot but nothing. I was hoping it was a simple fix with either of those but I'm getting nothing out of it. Any one have this problem?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • IPod will not turn BACK ON!  Cold weather?

    My iPod will not turn back on. I left it in a cold car for a few days while I was at my family's house, and the battery must have died while I was there. I came home and plugged it in, but it wouldn't charge or turn on. Help!!

    Try sending it to the itunes store because when i left my ipod in a car for a few days it worked fine. if you haven't tried the 5 rs try those first.
    To reset your iPod nano (2nd generation):
    Reset
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
    Retry
    Retry your iPod with a different USB or FireWire port on your computer (please note that the latest iPods can only be synced through USB).
    Restart
    Restart your computer, and make sure that you have the latest software updates installed.
    Reinstall
    To reinstall your iPod nano (2nd generation):
    To update and reinstall your iPod software, first download the latest iTunes software.
    Next, open the new version of iTunes and connect your iPod to your computer. iTunes will then automatically check to see if your iPod needs to be updated and perform the update for you.
    To then check the software version on your iPod, select it from the source list in iTunes. iTunes will display the information about your iPod.
    Restore
    To restore your iPod nano (2nd generation):
    Warning: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure to back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. If you use the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, see this document for more information.
    How to restore your iPod:
    Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
    Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
    After a few moments, it will appear in the Source list in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source list and you will see information about it appear in the Settings tab of the main iTunes windows.
    Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
    Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
    Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
    Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
    During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.

  • What do i do if my ipod will not turn on

    my ipod will not turn on, what should i do

    First, make sure it's charged (I'm sure you did!) When this happened to my son's iPod, we held down the sleep and home buttons at the same time for 15 seconds or so until it restarted. After that it behaved normally. Good luck!

  • TS1363 My ipod will not turn on at all.  When I connect it to the laptop by the USB, it does not recognize it at all.  What could possibly be the problem?  The Nano was working like 30 minutes ago.

    About 30 minutes ago, I was adding some music to the ipod Nano.  Everything was working fine.  Now, the ipod will not turn on at all.  When I connect it to the laptop with the USB, the computer does not even recognize it.  The screen has a fant image of the plug on it and it says connected.  I followed the procedures for disconnecting it when I was finished with it earlier.  Any idea what is going on here???
    Thanks

    It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/

    My IPad will not turn on despite charging all night and all day.  The Apple pops on but then shuts off again.  It does this over and over. How can I fix this and get it up and running again?

    Hey bellabeanbag,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps if your iPad is not responding:
    iPad: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274
    If iPad won't turn on, or the display stops responding
    Follow these steps, testing after each:
    1. Turn the iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Reset iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If iPad still won't respond after you restore it
    Follow these steps, testing after each:
    1. If you receive an alert in iTunes while restoring your iPad, refer to this article for instructions on how to resolve common issues with updating and restoring.
    2. If you cannot restore your iPad in iTunes, or if iTunes does not recognize the device, refer to this article for instructions on restoring using recovery mode.
    Thanks,

  • Ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window says ipod is in recovery mode and needsto be restored

    ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window pops up says ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. what do i do now?

    You restore the iPod via iTunes. Don't plug the iPod in. Open up iTunes and then plug it in and then try restoring, if it fails to restore a few times, keep trying. I do it on a daily basis, you're using an Apple product, remember...
    EDIT: Do it from another computer if all else fails.

    We here are not representatives or employees of Apple. Looks like your iPhone needs to visit an Apple store for a consultation. Make an appointment.

    Connect it to a known-good Apple USB charging cable & power adaptor, connected to a known-good power source. 
    Leave it connected for at least one hour.
    Disconnect it from the charging cable.
    Press & hold the Home Button & Sleep/Wake button for up to 30 seconds, until the Apple logo appears, then release those buttons.
