Ipod won't respong to being plugged in

I've had that screen withe the folder and exlclamation mark, so i've gotten the new itunes and done everything troubleshootings told me to do, done that 5-Rs thing and when i plug my ipod in to restore it it still isn't detecting it.
Should I just take it in to be fixed because at the moment this is beyond my technical capabilities.

Try using disk utility to erase it as an external hard drive, then run it through restore on itunes

My iphone4s won't charge while being plugged into any charger/ iPod dock

My iphone4s won't charge while being plugged into any charger/ iPod dock

If the iPhone won't charge when connected to the power adaptor that was included with the iPhone, the same when connected to your computer, and no change when connected to any charger, do you have access to another cable to rule out a problem with the cable being used?
If no change with a known good cable, there is a hardware problem with the iPhone.
Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

IPod won't turn on when plugged in

Hi, it's been about six months since I've last used my 10gb third gen iPod on my iBook G4. The iPod will not turn on at all, presumably because the battery is dead.
So I tried plugging it into my Windows PC (where I've transferred my music). I seem to have lost my firewire cable, so I borrowed a friend's USB cable (for his 4th gen iPod). When I connect the iPod to my PC, it still won't power on at all. Should I try finding or ordering a new cable, or is my iPod toast?

IPod won't turn off when plugged into computer! PLZ HLP!

I have an iPod touch 2g, and now whenever I connect it to iTunes, it won't turn off. It will just turn itself back on.

If you are unable to give specifics about the problem or what you need to do, it's going to be rather hard to give you recommendations or alternate suggestions.
As I said, if I recall correctly, the iPod will stay on if it's being charged. But, in case I'm misremembering, are you holding down the button until you see the red arrow that says "Slide to power off"? Have you tried restoring it?

My iPod won't sync when I plug it in. help?

I plug in my ipod touch and iTunes recognizes it but it won't sync. It just says "waiting for sync to start", stays like that for a while, then says that it failed to sync because the sync never started. how do i fix this?

oHave you tried resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

IPod won't turn on without plugging it into the charger.

I have a 30gb iPod video and the problem is when my ipod is plugged into the wall charger it works fine. But once i take it out of the charger, the screen immediately turns off. It says my battery is fully charged when in the charger. I even have a car dock in my car and when I put the ipod on it, it works. Another thing is, when my ipod is connected to the usb port on my computer, it won't turn on. So the only way my ipod is functional is if its connected to the wall or in the car. Can someone PLEASE help me fix this problem. THANKS!

Sounds like you have a bad battery. It might need to be replaced. For some reason your usb port is not putting out enough to power it so there could be a short in the circuit also. It will need to be checked out. If it is under warranty contact apple. If it isn't do a search for iPod repairs on the net. There are some good places that can do the repairs cheaper than apple.

My iPod won't turn on after plugging it into my Xbox

Hello, my ipod doesn't seem to want to turn on. The only problems I've had with it were its battery which doesn't last as long anymore. But, the other day I plugged it into my Xbox just to listen to some music. It played it no problem, but I think the problem was that I left it plugged in for like a night and a day, and during that time my xbox was turned on and off and few times. I've tried just about everything I could find to fix it. Ex. holding Menu and Center button down, plugging it into my computer (my computer doesn't read it). I'm just wondering if it was my xbox that kind of ruined it. Does anyone know what I can do?

You've fully depleted the battery. Connect it to power (wall charger is best for this), charge it for at least 30 minutes, then reset it (hold down the center and menu buttons for 6 seconds) while it is still connected to power. Might take a few tries. When it revives fully charge it.

My iPod classis is not recognized by my Macbook and self-ejects immediately after being plugged in?

Hello,
I have an iPod classic and I am using a Macbook Pro running Mavericks. Since the last iTunes update i have not been able to connect my iPod to iTunes. I have tried both USB ports and it still won't work. The iPod ejects itself immediately after being plugged in. The usb ports are working, I've tried an iPod touch and an iPhone 4s, so that doesn't seem to be the issue either. Appreciate any help!

Hi luisxjim,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps that may help if your iPod classic isn't being recognized by your computer:

My Ipod won't sync. I am not sure why. Normally, it works right away soon as I plug it into the computer. Now, I plug it in and nothing happens. Any advice?

The iPod won't work unless it's plugged into the AC Adaptor...

It only works when plugged into the AC Adaptor. Otherwise it is unresponsive. The hold button is definitely not on. When I plug it into the AC adaptor, a number of things happen:
1. The battery does'nt show the charging animation. It only stays full.
2. When I plug it into the AC adaptor, the apple logo pops up and the ipod seems to be reloading info for a sec...then it goes right into the menus.
When I do have it plugged in, it works fine. All songs play clean without any skipping...even when in shuffle and repeat mode the song progression is clean.
By the way, I have a 20 Gig monochrome 4th Gen iPod. This is my 3rd replacement iPod, as the support at the apple store in SOHO, NYC simply give me replacement ones. I'm not sure if they are refurbished or not. It has'nt given me any problems thus far and I have 688 songs on it plus other files in disk mode.

Yes I know it's booting up, the problem is it won't boot up unless it is plugged into the AC adaptor...
It's not asleep...otherwise it would turn on without being plugged in to the AC adaptor. It can also be reset which would yield the same booting up screen process, but again regardless of how many resets I do, it won't work unless plugged into the AC adaptor.
This is a new replacement and it was fully charged yesterday when it decided to stop working.

Autoplay dialog won't open when I plug in my iPod Touch 4th gen

Hello!
I need to take my iPod into be fixed because it has a cracked screen and I'm trying to import my photos onto my laptop (Windows 7) but when I plug my iPod in nothing happens except the iTunes window pops up. I went into Autoplay and made sure that the setting said "Ask me every time" and then I restarted my laptop but that hasn't helped!
The iPod won't show up in Windows underneath computer.
I then went into accessories and right-clicked "command prompt" and typed in shellhwdetection and I restarted my laptop again but that hasn't helped either!
Any suggestions/ideas will be greatly appreciated!

If you manually open iTunes does the iTunes see the iPod?
Have you synced with this computer before?
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

IPod classic won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock; what's up? will it hurt to leave it on all the time?

I bought a new iPod Classic and it won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock. Is this normal and will it hurt the iPod if i leave it on all the time?

Hi there,
How old is your Classic? Often, after a couple of years, rechargable batteries begin to fail, especially after such a long period of inactivity. This happens with any gadget with this type of battery.
Try leaving it plugged in for 24 hours, and try again, to rule out that it isn't just really low on charge. If this doesn't help, it may be a good time to buy a replacement. New iPod Nanos and Touches will be released this October.
Below, I've linked to an Apple website which explains rechargable batteries, and why yours may not be working.

I hope this helps, and I hope upgrading your device will not feel like an unnecessary expense. Let me know if you have any more questions,
Nathan

My iPod Touch is not charging even while being plugged in. I tried rebooting it and it's not working still

My iPod Touch is not charging while being plugged in the computer or the wall! It shows that it is plugged in and it goes back and forth from the Apple screen to it being plugged in, but it's been hours and it's not charging at all. This is my first time dealing with this. Has this happened to anyone?

I just put it on an iPod dock to charge and it worked that way instead! I guess it has more power charging it that way then a plug in the wall or plugging it into the computer. THANK GOD! I don't want to lose what I have on it!
