Ipod wont turn on any more than the apple symbol

I have had my ipod for about 4 1/2 months. My music began to shut off randomly. I would be playing music and i would just stop and go to my home screen. I then proceeded to turn off my ipod. I figured that if i turned it off then back on it would maybe start to work. I turned it off and went to turn it back on and it went to the apple symbol screen and was stuck. The ipod turns it self off after about 1 minute after i attempt to tun it on. I have tried charging it and having it plugged in but nothing seems to work. Please Help.

Have you tried reset?

If itunes recognizes it, then you can try a restore.

My ipod touch won't go further than the apple symbol

Any help available, as my ipod touch won't go any further than the apple symbol

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
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.

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

Under the settings app there's the general column and under the accessibility section the is a setting called black over white does that drain your battery any more than the normal setting

Wow. I have not seen that question nor a discussion. I agree with James. I don't think it will, and if the power drain is different, maybe it'll be less and not more.
With a 10 hour battery, you have plenty of time to test it and see. If the battery depletes fast, just go back to the other way.
If you do try it, let us know what you discover.
Thanks ! !

Hello there, RFJA2211.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great troubleshooting steps for unexpected power off of your iOS device:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
Failing this I would take it in for service.

My laptop once turned on wont on any further than the apple logo

My laptop once turned on won't go any further than apple logo

Try starting your computer by holding down the command + R keys, then run disk utility on your hard drive. If you are running a version of Mac OS X 10.6 or lower you will need to try to start you MacBook with the original DVD.

IPod not turning on for more than a few seconds or recognized by computer.

Hey, if anyone could help that would be great. I have an IPod 2G with 3.0 software. The problem started that when I plugged my IPod into the computer it would charge, but ITunes would detect it and Itunes would lock up. As soon as I unplugged the Touch Itunes started working again.
So, I went into the Touch settings and hit reset. The thing got about 75% done erasing files and the battery died. Now when I turn it on it shuts down after a few seconds and Itunes still doesn't recognize it.
Any ideas?

you're welcome

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried resetting your iPod? (hold menu and center buttons together for 7 seconds. Do this a few times)
Does it now work after resetting? Also, whenever you are having difficulties with your iPod responding to button-pressing, put your iPod down on a flat hard surface (like a desk), then click your button(S). See if it works.
Go to "Settings> Main Menu" and turn the Sleep button "on". Go back to your back the main menu again, and see if the "Sleep" button will work if you click it. If it does, that's your temporary fix.
I hope those things will help you!

What happened when my ipod doesnt turn on and its just the apple sign on the screen ?

What happened when i pluged up my ipod and only the apple sign comes up on it , what is going on ?

Have you tried a hard reset yet to see if that does any good? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Try this more than once if necessary.
Otherwise, try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it. See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into Recovery mode.
