- 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.

  • ITouch 4th gen. wont turn on at all, after already being used.

    So i am 15 and i got my brand new 32g iTouch 4th gen for Christmas. Iv had past iPod's so i already knew how to add songs, and what not. My songs are already on the iPod and everything has been working great. I was just on the internet showing my mom this storage bin on kmart, after that i closed down the internet, and pressed the lock button at the top. I then wanted to show her this picture on my lock screen, so i went to turn it on/unlock it, and nothing worked! I tried pressing the lock button, and the home button. I also tried holding each. I also tried connecting it to my computer to see if it would work. It did not. Its stuck on a black screen. Please help!

    Ok i fixed it!! I texted my best friend Ivan. (: You hold down both the lock and home button. As soon as the apple pops up, let go. (or else your data will be erased) then, i let it do its own thing for about 30 seconds and it turned on! yay!(:

  • My ipod nano 4th gen wont turn on ! help me !

    okay i got this ipod nano off one of my friends. I plugged it into my own computer and the apple logo came onto the screen, then after a few seconds the main menu screen came on, but while doing this i accidently knocked the cord connecting my ipod to the computer, then my ipods screen went black and said "please eject before disonnecting " but as it slightly came out it was "disconnected" so i tried putting it back it but the ipod wouldnt turn on, only a blank black screen. I have tried all the steps from apple but none of them are working, please tell me whats wrong with the ipod and how i can fix it !!! i really need this ipod !!

  • My ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and is in recovery mode.

    my ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and it is in recovery mode but when it says preparing to restore it on itunes when i plug it up then the ipod disconnects from the computer and just shuts off again help me please. when it does act like its going to charge it doesnt charge and just brings up the "connect to itunes" thing.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen wont turn off

    my ipod shuffle wont turn off! it is 2nd gen i think it is silver with clip on on the back. when i pause it it will pause but when i turn switch to off green light still flashing and will still play if press play button any ideas? or do i buy another one . it is about 9 months old.

    thanks for your reply. in the end i took it to an apple service centre and coz it only 8months old got it replaced for free in two days, seeing as im in darwin i was quite impressed!!. i agree it is made cheap but i use it for the gym and no other portable music player is equipped with the clip on the back which is the most simple design feature and no-one is catching on. have seen the new one , which looks brilliant, if my replacement craps itself after its 1 year warranty then i will just get the new one. thanks again for the reply.

  • 4th gen wont turn on! please help.

    I haven't had my ipod touch 4th gen on for about a week. I tried to turn it on and the charging screen showed up. After a few seconds it said it was turning on but then the screen went black and then the charging screen showed up again. I have tried different chargers and I tried to reset it by holding the home and power button. It doesn't show up on itunes when i have it plugged in. It has done this before and one day it just started working. Any suggestions?

  • 4th gen iPod turned off and won't turn back on.

    So, earlier today I had my iPod touch (4th gen) plugged into my electronic drum kit through a double sided auxillary cable. Nothing out of the usual. I turned it to a certain song I felt like jamming to at the time and it froze. It was a weird type of freeze. The screen itself was frozen, as was the sound, but it had displayed weird grey/purple static waves, like an old T.V. with the antennas slightly off. I tried turning the iPod off normally, when that didnt work I held the power and home button to reset it thinking it was some glitch that would go away. Only, it didn't reset and just stayed off. I've tried plugging it into my PC, no response. I've even tried plugging it into my xbox (which is one way I usually charge it) and it didn't respond either. As of now, it's a brick. I have no idea why. Nothing was out of the ordinary other then a random screen freeze/glitch.
    TL;DR I have an iPod that's turned off, it will not reset, go into DFU mode, and does not charge/is not recognized when plugged into anything. Anyone got any idea what I should do?

    It would appear that you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I went to take a photo and the shutter screen froze so i held it the home button and lock button and then it turned of. I waited for it to turn back on but it wouldnt
    ive tried charging it and nothing apears on the screen, its just black and no charge picture nothing. the only time it froze was when i went on camera app. other apps were fine, and camera was fine because I was using it on a different app.
    I've tried holding home and lock button in for 30 secs, nothing worked.
