Ipod wont switch on at all

i've got a 30gb vid ipod, as it was updating i disconnected the usb cos i thought it was restoring not updating, now it wont switch on, reset or do anything its just completely blank.
tried leaving it in for charge overnight aswell, didnt work either.
plz plz help, i'm really ****

i hate to ask a dumb question, but I've made this mistake as well ...
Are you sure the Hold button is off?
Also plugging it in to a power supply other than having it run off it's battery might help.
Hope you find the problem.

    my ipod wont switch on anymore! what can i do??

    Get it serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company. The choice is yours.  There is no telling what the exact cause of the issue is whether it be a dead battery or another damaged internal component.

  • Help! My Ipod wont switch off!

    please help me..
    my ipod wont switch off..i hv a 30GB ipod video..
    normally it will switch off automatically after a few mins if i dont play songs, but recently it wont switch off and it's using up the battery!
    and when i press hold Play button to switch off manually, it doesnt hv any effect..
    help!
    does this happen to any of you??

    I think this is some type of bug. I have had this problem with my iPod photo and now my 5th gen. iPod.
    It's most noticeable after ejecting the iPod from the computer. It takes a short while before you an turn the iPod off. Sometimes it will not turn off when viewing a video. So hit the menu button and start playing a song - then it will probably turn off. It's a bug because the iPod will sense the button press by changing the top porting of the display (toggling time etc..) but it simply won't turn off. I wonder if it's something to do with the hard drive spinning at the moment???
    Anyway, try playing a song and try again.

  • HT201412 ipod wont switch on?

    ipod wont switch on, when attached to docking station apple logo displayed but unable to use any buttons. when attached to computer no respnse either from ipod or computer it doesnt recognise its attached.

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

  • IPod wont show up at all.

    The iPod seems to charge (sometimes), but wont show up on the computer. The iPod wont even show the "don't disconnect" icon on the screen. I've tried different computers (Mac and Win) and have reset the iPod, but to no avail. The only other thing I can think it could be is the port going bad, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows of anything else?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

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

  • My 4th generation ipod wont update without deleting all of my Media. I dont want to do that. What do I do?

    I have a 4th generation 64 gb iPod Touch. I had a laptop that it was synced with but it crashed. Everytime I try to update it pops up a messege saying "Erase all media and update". I do not want to do that. It wont even let me put more music on it. Im not sure what to do..Im scared because its a 64gb iPod i love it to death. It is all I own. How can I put music on it without deleting all of my media. Or where can I store all the media to restore later?

    I realize that, but I was just updating to the most recent software when I got an error message & now it's just showing I need to restore. Is there a way to back it up first or avoid the resetting to factory?

  • PLEASE HELP!! ipod wont do anything at all

    Well, my computer crashed some time ago with my itunes, but I was successfully able to restore them. However, about an hour after my ipod finished updating, it froze. It wouldnt do anything, and as it was frozen while playing, it ran out of batteries a few hours later. I wasn't too worried, this happens to me alot, I just recharge the Ipod and it works. But after charging the ipod for about four hours, it was even worse. Although the screen was not frozen, all it would display is an apple and then a folder with an exclamation point. I found out that that means i need to update my Ipod. So I downloaded the Ipod Updating software and plugged my iPod in. But the program just read "Error" and kept disconnecting my iPod without stopping it. Now my ipod is still completely useless, only showing that folder, and making really loud buzzing and clicking noises. Does anyone have any suggestions?!?!?

    Haley,
    You didn't say if you use a Mac or a PC. If you use a Mac fire up Disk Utilities and do a Disk Repair. if that doesn't do it then do an erase and reload the iPod software into the iPod.
    If you're on a PC I haven't got a clue.

  • Ipod wont do anything at all

    ok well i just got an ipod from a friend of mine and it works for him but i plug it into mine and it wont charge or show up on my computer. the battery is now dead
    I've tried to reset it, plug it into different computers and everything. also iTunes doesn't seem to want to work on my computer either. it keeps telling me to restart the computer every time. i know it works cause it was just a few hours ago before it died.

    mine does the same thing
    i tried to charge it but it won't work and it wound up dying on he charger
    i even tried my wall charger
    i don't know what's wrong

  • TA44551 ipod wont switch on

    My ipod nano (3rd gen.) suddenly switched itself off. Thinking maybe the battery was dead i tried to charge it through my laptop, docking station and my mains neither of them worked. Please help

    I would try connecting it to your computer, or to a USB power adapter, and WHILE it is connected to power, use this procedure to Reset the nano

    (A 3rd gen nano would use the How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel portion.)
    NOTE:  A Reset does not erase the iPod.
