IPod  won't turn on and makes funny noises...

My iPod won't turn on. When I try turning it on it starts making a funny noise, almost like when a cd player tries to read the cd and can't but keeps trying to. Then the apple picture shows up and after a few seconds it goes blank. It is out of warranty and this is a replacement for another one I had that the hard drive crashed on. Sometimes it goes to the "Do not disconnect" screen or the folder and exclamation point screen. How can I get this fixed or is it not worth it? Will Apple replace this one too?

It is pretty easy.I called the customers service for the questions.An officer asked me:"Have you ever put some songs into your Ipod?" "Have you ever safely remove youe Ipod form your computer?" I suddenly realized I sometimes did not remove it safely.
I think you may meet the same problem.What you can do now is to push both the "Wheel" and "Menu",and keep pushing for 6-8 seconds.It will restart,and you will see an apple in the middle of the screen.
If you have any question,you can e-mail me:[email protected]

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPod won't turn on and it makes an eerie beeping noise

    I took it to a Genius Bar yesterday and the iPod was working and today it went to its original state as the day i took it there and they said that it needed to be restored which it did and it was also to be charged for 5 hours, which it did, and they deleted everything in it. A lady blanked it out so it would work and now it doesnt.
    when i put it in a charger(wall & Pc) it wont turn on and go to the pic with the apple on it. I tried reseting it and i cant restore it only at APPLE and I cant do it here on my PC.
    Its not my Pc its on every charger in the apple store and all my friends house.

    my ipod won't turn on, when a  try to charge and turn on, have a symbol of battery empty. so what can I do?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPod won't turn on and i've done everything

    I was driving and my iPod fell of the dash board and onto the floor, and now it won't turn on. I got an iHome for Christmas and have been using it so I know my iPod is fully charged. I tried connecting it with the USB so I can use it on iTunes and charge it just in case and my computer says it doesn't recognize it. It doesn't appear under devices so I'm unable to restore it.
    I've only had it for alittle over a year, what the heck is wrong?

  • IPod won't turn on and stuck on restore

    Hi! I have a problem with my iPod 4th gen 8gb. It won't turn on for a long time. And then, today I connect it with my iTunes on my new laptop. iTunes detected it! And then it says that my iPod is in recovery mode (but i couldn't see anything in my iPod screen) and I should restore. So i restored my iPod touch. When restoring, it stuck on "Waiting for iPod". My iPod screen is actually turn on, but the progress bar stuck with nothing in it.
    Can anybody please help me?? I really need this!!

    Terminate the the restore. Reboot the computer and try again.
    Next try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restore.
    Then, try DFU mode and restore

  • My ipod won't turn on and isn't recognized by iTunes or computer

    My iPod Touch (2nd Generation) won't turn on at all. I tried charging it with different cables and in different outlets and it wouldn't charge. My computer (a mac) and iTunes won't recognize it and the sleep button is jammed so I can't restart it. What should I do?

    Need more info to help, assuming that the iPod screen is totally blank now, when you switch it on.
    When you plug it in to charge, what do you see on the iPod screen, after 30 minutes, while still connected?
    Have you tried using another USB cable or port?

  • Ipod won't turn on and computer won't reconize

    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 won't turn on and computer won't recognize

    I have been having battery problems, and now my iPod won't even turn on and when i plug it in my computer, it won't recognize it! i tried resetting it, but it still won't turn on.

  • HT1320 My 3rd generation iPod won't turn on and just started making a were beepin noise? What does this mean and how can I fix it?

    The back light turns on and I can hear the click wheel but no apple sign comes up on the screen. Any guidance would be much appreciated ;)

    It's possible that your iPod is working to some extent (since the backlight is on and the click wheel makes a sound when used), but the LCD screen is not working.  First, try doing a Reset (which restarts the iPod)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
    Even if it is still not working, does anything change after doing the Reset?
    If that does not help, when you connect it to your computer's USB and run iTunes, does it  appear in the sidebar under DEVICES?  If it does, select it in iTunes and try doing a Restore.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
    If the iPod does not appear in iTunes when connected, or if doing a Restore does not solve the problem, the cause is likely to be hardware-related.

  • IPod won't turn on, and is not showing up on computer

    I just got my 30 gb 5th generation iPod yesterday, synched all of my songs, and listened to it for a little while. Now today, I tried to connect my iPod to the computer, and nothing showed up on the iPod screen or on the computer. So I unplugged it and tried to turn it on, and it won't turn on. Can somebody please help me?

    Before I posted this I tried to restart it and it didn't work. The second after I posted it, I tried again and it worked! I was probably doing something wrong. Thanks anyway!
