IPod wont respond to reset or to plugging in

My iPod suddenly stopped responding. It´s turned off and will not respond to being plugged into the wall or into my computer. It won´t restart. If it was the battery wouldn´t it still turn on when plugged into the wall? I don´t want to loose all my music by sending it into get a new battery. Apple told me to transfer all my music to my computer first but my computer wont recognize it. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!

it just needed to drain its battery

I have a new 32gb ipod 4 that has a black screen and wont respond to reset. The screen shows no response to the charger either. How can I get it to turn on?

I have a new 32 gb ipod 4 that has a blcak screen. It wont respond to a hard reset, nor does it acknowledge that it is being charged. It was not dropped or damaged in any way. We are out of the country. Help

First, let's make sure that what you call a "hard reset" is a true system Reset...
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 wont respond

The click wheel on my ipod mini wont respond at all. I cant reset it or do anything using the click wheel. I have tried updating my software and even completly restoring the ipod to no effect. I have no idea what could be wrong with it please help.

make sure the hold button isn't on, and then hold the centre button and menu button down until you see the apple logo. if that fails, use the hold switch and flick it on and off until the apple logo appears.

Ipod Wont Respond! Help!

Ive had my Ipod since last christmas, so almost a year. my warranty is about to expire too..anyway. I was listening to my music as usual and i was using shuffle.

I was on half battery and i really dont knwo what to do. the hold button was off, i tried to chrage but it wont respond, help!

On December 20th 2005 my iPod Clickwheel [4th Gen] (40G) failed, the built-in self-diagnostic routines telling me that there was a hard disk failure. I called Apple and was informed that I would have to pay £169 to get the device “repaired” (actually what I would be doing is purchasing a refurbished iPod). £169 is 61.5% of the price I paid the AppleStore in September 2004, some 15 months earlier.
In speaking to customer relations, I pointed out that I have purchased lots of other hardware and software all from the AppleStore over the past two years including three Macs each with AppleCare plans and I’ve been a .Mac member since its inception. None of this made any difference.
Macintouch have completed surveys that make it clear that, in their own words, “. . . the iPod 40G ClickWheel is a lemon”

Ipod wont turn on, reset, dfu, or connect to CPU.

A few nights ago, I plugged my ipod into itunes and it recognized it as an Iphone. I tried to restore it but it said the firmware wasn't compatible. I reset it and now it wont turn on, won't reset, wont go into dfu mode, and every time I plug it into the computer (windows xp) it says "usb device not recognized. It is not jailbroken.

Did yo already try the basic troubleshooting here? iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Did you check your USB port/cable?

Ipod Wont Respond in windows after disco

I recently had my Ipod plugged into my Windows XP box. As I was transfering files from the harddrive to the PCs harddrive via windows explorer, my 1 y/o came and forcibly disconnected the Ipod from the computer. Naturally, all the transfered were disrupted. However, now when I plug in the ipod into the computer, My Computer registers the removable harddrive, but not the ipod (when the ipod is plugged, it displays Ipod, but when I disco it thru iTunes, it just says Removable Harddrive, in My Computer)
Since the Ipod portion of the harddrive isnt being seen, I cant see it in iTunes either. Whats worse, is I cant access any of the files on the harddrive of the Ipod (It hangs when I try to open it or right-click it)
Any thought people? Thanks!

Same kinda thing happened to my ipod except it was
the 1st time I conected so I never finished instaling
the ipod. Windows is just saying "USB Devise Not
Recognized" Anyone know if and how I can fix this? or
do I need to take it somewhere to be fixed?
I went through the same **** just the other night. In my enthusiasm to get my Ipod video up and running, I plugged in my Ipod BEFORE I installed the software- even though the disc has a very clear sticker stating "Install software before connecting Ipod". I have no patience.
So then I got the USB Device Not Recognized message after the install. ARRGH!! After hours of trying to find drivers, software updates, fully charging the ipod, etc, here's what I did:
I reset the Ipod (connect ipod to computer, set Hold switch to Hold, then turn it off again, press and hold the Center and Menu buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears). It worked! I was able to complete the install because suddenly Windows recognized the Ipod device.
The quick start manual indicates that you should reset the Ipod if the Ipod isn't responding, NOT if Windows isn't recognizing it. They should update their troubleshooting portion of the quick start guide. Hope this helps!

Ipod wont respond to computer

Here's the situation:
When I plug my ipod fifth gen into my computer, nothing happens. I have a 2.0 USB port but it's not anything new. It used to work but recently it just stopped. When I plug it into the slower USB port, it all seems to respond but I have had problmes with that port in the past. I don't think it's a problem with the actual port because the mouse is plugged into it. Please help me out.

Plug it into the 2.0 port, wait a few moments, and reset the ipod while it is connected to the computer. If no response, leave ipod connected about 10 minutes and try to reset it again. You may want to try the reset a few times.

My shuffle wont respond and resetting it ect doesnt wokr can sum1 help?

i charged my shuffle for 4 hours and it wont play the music i have on there. i have tried resetting it ect and all it said in the manual but it still wont work. DOES ANY1 KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS? I HAVE GONE TO THE SUPPORT PAGE AND IT HAD TOLD ME NOTHING.

i had a problem like this. i'd put music on my ipod and nothing happened when i listened to it. i was told (when i took it back to where i'd bought it) that i had to get a new one, which i did. If you're warranty is still good, i'd return it and get a new one; i haven't had that problem with the one i have now.
(Anyway, hope that helped you out a little...having ipod problems makes me want to scream and throw things.)

Ipod wont respond in any way shape or form

I have the 1st generation Ipod touch but it has softwares updates, the latest until th point that i couldnt not update no more. if im not incorrect its the 3.1.2? maybe im not sure anyways. The other day i had it at under 20% when i needed to do somethng urgent on it and then it shut off(because of low battery) then i tried to turn it on again and opened Safari before it completely died again. The next morning i plugged it in and it just went to the black screen with the Gray Apple Logo on it and then it just turned off again, not showing the normal Battery charging picture or anything. I tried everything and nothing worked, switched the cables, tried charging it with my Xbox, another Computer messed with the only two buttons that are available and nothing helped. Today the situation worsened as now it wont even turn to the black screen with gray Apple logo. How can i possibly fix this by myself? Any sugestions? I would truely truely truely truely appreiated it if you some way to fix this. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Well my friend im sure this is the answer you wanted but, I think that it has died. You can try to take it to the genius bar but i think they will tell you the same thing. Technology ages. The processor built in wasnt designed to proccess iOS 3.x.x or above. It dosent have enough power to do so and it can overload and die.

My ipod wont charge no matter if its plugged into a computer or outlet

no matter which outlet or which computer it wont charge

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
