IPod won't turn on, reset, or anything!! Please help!

I've had my ipod nano 2nd gen for a little over 3 years now, & it has never given me any problems at all. The other day, however, I had my ipod plugged in to my computer for a few hours, & it seemed to be working fine. My ipod takes about 1hr to charge, & I've only let it completely die a couple of times. The next day, I got on the computer & routinely I plugged it in, but the "Do not disconnect" screen didn't pop up, so I tried resetting it. The apple sign showed up, but the light didn't turn on, so I reset it again, & my computer finally recognized it. I left it to charge for a good 3 hours. Next day, same thing happens, but I finally get it on the home screen & it says the battery is dead, which makes no sense.
Now it won't turn on at all, it won't reset, it won't show me ANYTHING, not even that the battery is dead. My computer won't recognize it, either. I've tried resetting it countless times. I don't know what to do, can anybody help out? Am I just doomed?

Hello choiecakes,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sounds like your iPod's battery may be toast especially considering it's probably more than a couple of years old given that it is a 2G Nano, which have been out on the market for quite some time now. You can opt to have Apple replace the battery for a hefty price, a third party repair company, or do it yourself using instructions on the web.
Hope this helps.

My iPod won't turn on at all. Please help!

My iPod touch 5th generation just stopped working out of the blue. It won't turn on and has nothing but a black screen. It won't charge or connect to iTunes either. I can't restart it because my home button does not work either. How do I turn it back on? Please help fast!

Try:
Turn on without Home/Power Button

Ipod won't turn on/reset

I went to turn my ipod on earlier today and it turned on briefly and then the screen slowly faded to nothingness. Later, I tried to reset it and I got the apple logo (with no backup light) for a few seconds but then that died. I tried to reset it again and got nothing. My computer (Windows XP) does not recognize the ipod either. I have also tried the 5 R's and they did not help. Also after looking at the apple support page, it mentioned something about charging the ipod. So I also tried this (although it did not respond when plugged in) and left it there for about a half an hour. Then I realized that my ipod was really hot, so I unplugged it. Now I am getting no response from it once more. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm having a similar problem, only mine won't turn OFF. I have 2 computers...Macbook Pro and a Powerbook...normally both would recognize it when I plug it in the USB but neither will now. It's been frozen for several hours now. I tried plugging it into the wall charger, nothing. The light stays on and it won't do anything.

Ipod nano wont turn on!!! Please help I'am desperate! :(

By mistake, i dropped my ipod on the floor and seconds later i tried turning it on and it wont turn on at all. I tried restoring it by pressing the menu and select button and i toggeled with the hold button for several minutes. I got this ipod a year ago ,but my 1 year apple warrenty just expired and the "apple operator" led me to this discussions web site. The screen is not cracked or chipped,but it simply wont turn on!! When i plug my ipod into the computer, itunes doesn't not show up and when i open(itunes) it manually it stays the same. Also, i tried charging it overnight and the ipod still wont turn on. Someoen said i have to buy another battery for the ipod?? ( I have no idea!) Any suggestions?? Should i just buy another one?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!!!

I'd say that the iPod is toast.
Easiest thing at this point would be to get the iPod repaired through Apple ($99), or to get a new unit.

Curve 8520 won't turn on all the way, please help!

I have a blackberry curve 8520, i bought it last month sometime.
I woke up yesterday morning and the balckberry was off, and would not switch on after i pushed down the ON button. So I charged it for a while, and still, it wouldnt switch on. Then, i took it off charge, took out the battery put the battery back in and it rebooted. The loading bar went right to the end, and the logo of my service provider appeared. And that's when it stopped loading. All that will show is the logo, it wont turn off, unless i take the battery out again.
I had downloaded an app the night before it stopped working off appworld, could that have affected it? I tried to link it to my computer, but it wont let me remove or add applications.
I did take out the battery for hours, and the SD card. It still wiil only turn on until my service provider's logo.
PLEASE HELP! Any advice would be helpful.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
"c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

My Mac Mini won't turn on after being stored please help"

I stored my Mac mini for several months as I do every year but this time it won't turn on. Please help! It's an older version probably 2006-2007.

check out this discussion.
you should definitely get a decent UPS to protect your investment.
something like the APC Back-UPS ES 700 should suffice.

I was using my iPad 3 when it suddenly blacked out and it won't turn or start. can anyone please help me fix it?

I was using my iPad 3 awhile ago when it just blacked out and now it won't start. Can anyone please help me fix it?

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

IPod Touch 4th Gen wont respond to anything - please help

I was deleting a lot of stuff from my iPod 4th generation and suddenly it froze for a sec so I held down the menu and sleep/wake button to reset it. After I reset it it has been stuck on this black screen since last night. I tried connecting it to iTunes and it wont show that its connected to iTunes. I've tried resetting it again, holding down the sleep/wake button. Nothing is working /: What can I do to get it to work again? Please and thank you

Yes, I tried that. When I did this, my iPod screen remained black, no Apple Logo or anything. Nor did my iPod come up on iTunes, like usually it shows up on the right hand corner with my iPods name, it didn't show up. What should I do?

Curve 9300 won't turn on all the way, please help!

My daughter has a blackberry curve 9300. It froze on her so she tried to reboot it and now its gets 3/4 of the way and reboots again. Ive tried everythings possible like desktop manager and jl_cmder but nothing seems to work. If anyone has any suggestions i would be very greatful

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

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!

You can try the following but it may not work
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

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I can't restart the iphone to reset or restore. I held the homebutton down and the homebutton + sleepbutton down at the same time. The apple doesn't even appear.
I've also tried connecting it to the charger. It's not charging and dosn't recongize it.
I tried connecting the phone to itunes on the computer to see if it registered and charged it but that didn't work either.
