    I've had my 120GB iPod since Christmas and it just happened to me now. I put it into my friend's iPod dock because she was complaining it wasn't working, and I wanted to see if it would work for other iPods. My iPod showed the charging screen, then promptly shut off.
    Hope this problem gets fixed or recognized soon, I don't want to have to switch to CDs in my car again!

  • Ipod touch will not turn on and computer does not recognize the device

    I tried resetting my ipod touch, but there is still no response. I have had it plugged into the computer for a couple of days. I don't know if it is charging or what because the screen won't turn on and the computer does not recognize the device. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, as well as restarting my computer several times. Does anyone know what to do? I would try restoring it, but like I said my computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't either. Thanks!

    I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
    ***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

  • My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off.  The screen is black with the white apple in the middle.  It won't turn off and it won't come on.  anyone know what is wrong?

    My ipad is stuck inbetween on and off.  The screen is black with the white apple in the middle of the screen.  It won't turn off and won't come completely on.  Anyone know what is wrong?

    See if this lets the iPad start up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • MacBook Pro won't turn on and it won't charge

    My MacBook has been working fine and has been charging until now. I left my laptop in without it being plugged in and I presume the laptop died when it ran out of battery. I plugged my charger into laptop but I noticed that there was no charging light on the mag lite charger. I tried plugging my laptop in at different plug sockets and I've tried using a different charger but my laptop still won't charge it turn on. I've only had it just over a year. Any ideas anyone?

  • ZEN Micro won't turn Off and now won't turn

    Hi Everyone, hope you can help me out here.
    I have been using my ZEN micro for about week now and it was at first working fine.
    Then it started not turning off, so i had to pull out the battery.
    This is obviously very annoying, but it got worse over time.
    It now won't turn on unless i switch it about 30-40 times.
    What is going on, is there a way to fix it and is anyone experiencing the same problem?
    Thanks very much,
    Fern

    FernIe, I have the exact same problem, although now my Zen Micro won't turn on at all via the switch.
    My Zen Micro is 5 months old and its only been over the past few weeks I've been having problems. It started with having to hold the switch in the power on position for a least 30 secs and trying it at least 5-0 times before the player would turn on, and having to remove the battery to turn it off. Now, not matter how many times I try the switch or how long i hold it for, the player won't turn on.
    The battery is fully charged and I have never had problems with the headphone jack, and I haven't dropped it or done any damage to it that I think could be causing it. I'm having to turn it on by plugging it into my computer through the USB cable and then unlpugging it once its on, it's a pain doing this and means if I want to use it later I have to keep it on, muted, in my bag all day with the lock turned on (that end of the switch works) then once its turned off I can't turn it on again until I get near a computer again.
    I've searched the discussions and knowledge base but haven't found an answer. I've just emailed the support team and I'm waiting for their response, would be interested to know what they've told you.
    Just letting you know your not alone and I feel your pain!

  • Ipad won't turn on, and reset won't work ??

    My Ipad won't turn on, tried a reset but still nothing, any ideas??

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Ipod wont turn on and computer doesn't recognize it

    I've had my ipod for two years and never had any problems until four days ago when I unplugged it from my computer after it had finished charging and syncing. I went to plug it into my speakers but noting happened when i hit play. I unplugged the ipod from the speakers to check the ipod but it wouldn't turn on. After trying holding down the power button and the home and power button to no avail, i plugged it back into my computer. The computer didnt recognize it and it didnt show up in my itunes and the ipod started getting really hot in the bottom left corner. I unplugged it to let it cool down, but four days later it still wont turn on and my computer (imac) isnt recognizing it. As if this wasnt bad enough, I borrowed my brothers old chromatic, and used that for a day but it too died when i tried plugging it into the same speakers. And it too isnt being recognized by my computer. I now have two dead ipods and im thinking its because of these killer speakers...are they done for good or can they be saved?
    BTW- neither were jailbroken

    After charging for at least an hour I would try to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring it via iTunes.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    If still not recognized, try placing in DFU mode and restoring.

    Last is to make an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  I would also not use the speakers until the problem is resolved

  • Help! My iPod won't turn on and itunes doesn't recognize it.

    When I try to turn on my ipod nothing happens, the screen just stays black. I tried connecting it to itunes so I could restore it but itunes won't recognize it.

    I'm having the same problem. it's like my iPod had a sudden and massive heart attack!
    It was in my cold car for quite a while, but that's never affected it B4. Any ideas?

  • IPod stuck at Apple screen and computer won't restore iPod

    My 80gb Classic is stuck on the Apple screen, and doesn't respond at all. It says to restore my iPod using iTunes, however, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod, even though I've updated it.
    I've tried restarting my iPod, updating iTunes, and repeated attempts at connecting my iPod. None of the support articles really help, and I've tried all I can think of.

    Try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

  • Iphone 4 will not turn on and computer will not recognize

    Open iTunes on your computer and try connecting your phone.  See if iTunes reports that your phone is in recovery mode.  If so you will have to restore it.

  • Ipod won't turn on and isn't recognized

    I've tried everything with my ipod, but it just isn't working. I would love to be able to fix it myself but I can't figure it out at all.
    My ipod is a 30g 5th generation one. That "sad face" icon comes up every time I try to turn it on for a few moments, then it just shuts off. If I try to charge it, it does that same thing over and over again. Also, when I plug it into my computer, it doesn't show up on itunes or any files.
    Yes, I have put it into disk mode then plugged it in. When it's NOT hooked up to the computer, and it's just being charged by something else, it charges in disk mode. But if I put it in disk mode then plug it into the computer, it stays in disk mode for about 15 seconds then shuts off. The computer won't even recognize it in disk mode either.
    So here are my main problems: It won't turn on, the computer doesn't recognize it, and putting it in disk mode won't do much.
    I HAVE tried different cables and ports, it still does the same thing. I have also tried a completely different computer. It still doesn't work.
    What I really want to know is how to restore it with all these issues, if that's possible. An even better one would be how to get my computer to recognize it.

    it sounds like your ipod need hardware.
