Have you tried to "Reset" your iPod Touch?
*If you can't turn your iPhone or iPod touch on or off*
You may need to reset. Important: Only reset your iPhone or iPod touch if it is no longer responding. To reset, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

IPhone won't turn on but shows up in iTunes?

Hi everyone. My iPhone suddenly shut off after a phone call, and since then won't turn on. Unfortunately, I cannot restart it because a few weeks ago my lock button stopped working. When I plugged it into my computer, it is showing up on iTunes but is still not turning on. No idea what to do. Thanks for all your help!

Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

My itouch won't turn on. All that shows is the apple icon and then the screen goes blue to white. Is there a way to fix this or is my itouch unfixable? HELP ME!!!

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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Try resetting the SMC

If it has a removable battery, try removing the battery.
If neither works, then you may need to bring it in for service. Bring the power adapter as well, as you may be able to determine if it is the power adapter at fault, or the computer's power supply.

ITouch Won't Turn On, Connect to iTunes, or Connect to My Computer...

Hi, I recently tried restoring my iPod Touch. After forcing it into DFU mode (Holding down both buttons until the Apple and Cable sign appears)I was not able to continue restoring it with iTunes. iTunes picked up my iPod in DFU mode and says what it normally says, "iTunes has detected and iPod in restore mode. You must restore it for it to work with iTunes", it then brought me to the iPod Touch screen where it has the tabs 'Music', 'Videos', 'Pictures', etc. and where all you can press is Restore. FROM THIS POINT I clicked on My Music by mistake. Now I can't get back to that screen so I can finish restoring. My iPod won't turn on, as in it's completely off, and won't connect to my computer, as in it doesn't make the 'Beeping' sound when I plug it in or shows up in My Computer.
Much help would be appreciated. I've considered sending in my iTouch for repair or maybe a replacment but Apple's repair form is not working at the moment. There is no Apple Store close to where I live, which is in a small town in ND. I've tried the following with no success.
Re-Installed iTunes
Unplug and Replug my iTouch
Tried different USB ports (All 2.0)
Restarted computer

He makes no mention what so ever if he tried to force restore it again after the first attempt.
He said when he forced the restore he hit "My Music" in error then his PC hung and his iPod would no longer be detected by the PC. He never said he tried the force restore a second time.
Why the **** did you even post if you don't have anything of value to add to the conversation anyway.

New ipod shuffle 4th gen won't charge or turn on or show up in itunes

Received a 4th gen ipod shuffle as a gift, plugged it in straight away synced a song on to it, listened to it. Left the ipod alone for a day, came back to it and it won't turn on, charge, or show up in itunes?
Tried resetting it, did nothing. Tried to get it to be replaced but apparently servicing and replacement isn't available in my area? ( yeah, what?)
What do i do?

If you connect it to the Mac with iTunes NOT running, and run Disk Utility, does it appear in the sidebar as a "disk"? Also, you can run System Profiler or System Information (depending Mac OS X version). It is in Applications/Utilities/, but you can also run it from the About This Mac window. Does the shuffle appear as a device under USB?
The red light when you move the power switch to ON means very low charge in battery. That probably means the battery is not getting charged when connected. In terms of hardware, that could mean a bad USB port on Mac, a bad USB cable, or a bad connection on the shuffle. In any case, power is not getting to the battery. It might be a bad battery, but if that was the only problem, I think the shuffle would still appear in iTunes when connected. That's why asked if it appeared in Disk Utility or System Profiler/Information; if it does, the connection is working (even though iTunes does not see it for some reason).
You can make sure the USB port is working by using something else that is similar (like a USB flash drive) on the same port. If you happen to have another USB cable, you also try to rule out a bad cable.

My iTouch won't turn on no matter what I do

I have an iTouch, and for some reason... It won't turn on.
I tried resetting it by holding both buttons, plugging it into the computer, waited about 25 minutes to see if it was dead & it still WILL NOT turn on. My computer won't even recognize it. What should I do? It's the 1st gen. but it's been VERY well taken care of.

Sounds like you may need a new battery.

IPod Touch 1G won't turn on or show in iTunes

I have an iPod Touch 1G 16GB with firmware version 2.2.1 and it just won't turn on and iTunes thinks it's inexistant. I think it could be in recovery mode but iTunes is ignoring it. Please help so I don't have to buy a new one since this one cost me £380 !!!

I know this maybe a little too late judging from the date of post, but for those still experiencing this problem, you may want to consider this hard restore method which worked for me.
Tip courtesy From aarond-sf of sioux falls, sd, Registered: Mar 30, 2009:
Have you've tried holding down the power button for several seconds?
If so and you're still getting nothing you may have to do a hard restore.
here's how to do it on Mac OS:
1. Connect you're iPod to the computer with the sync cable, and open iTunes.
2. Hold down the power and home buttons for 10seconds, then release the power button (continue holding the home button for about another 6-8 seconds). iTunes should display a message stating that the iPod is in restore mode and needs to be restored before it can be used (or something to that effect).
3.Hitting the restore button will likely give an error message. You'll need to hold down option and click the restore button, which will bring up a file browser. Navigate to <your user name>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/ and choose iPod2,12.2.1_5H11aRestore.ipsw (or similar ipsw file depending on your ipod, or iphone, generally choose the newest one) and click open.
4. Wait for it to restore, when that's finished you should be able to further restore it using the backup that was generated when you last synced it.
I have never done this on windoze, but I imagine it's quite similar, just not sure where you'd find the ipsw file.

My iTouch won't turn on and the computer doesn't register it when plugged in.

The screen never went white or crashed, it just won't turn on. I tried plugging it into the computer but it won't register and the base of the iPod near the plug area got really hot. I don't know what's wrong with it or what to do. Help please?

Any charging icon when the iPod Touch get connected?
If no, you can let the iPod Touch connected with any power source, such as computer usb port, then press and hold the "sleep / wake" and "Home" button at the same time until you can see an Apple icon on the screen (usually take around 20 seconds)
Maybe you have to send it to Apple if still won't switched on.

Why won't my iphone 4 show up in itunes

I have an iPhone 4 running IOS 4.3.5 and a Macbook Pro running 10.7.1 and iTunes 10.4.1 (b10).
For some reason, in the last few days, my iPhone won't show up in iTunes any more. I generally have a LOT of devices plugged in, but I've tried running with only the iPhone and the external drive with my iTunes library plugged in.
I've tried multiple iPhone cables, tried rebooting the machine.
I've tried adding the Applications --> iTunes --> Show Package Contents --> Contents --> MacOS --> iTunesHelper to my Login Items
iTunes still detects my AppleTV in Devices, but the iPhone won't show up.
When I plug in the phone it goes to charging mode, so I know that a connection is being made.
Any suggestions, tips, or links I can pursue to try to be able to resync my phone?

It turns out that I had to reinstall iTunes from scratch. I got the tip from
iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier
I'm 95% sure it had to do with me installing Xcode 4 to get the "FileMerge" utility for some other development effort totally unrelated to Xcode.
Regardless, it's working again.

Apple TV won't turn on, respond, or appear in iTunes after update-Help!

The update didn't fully finish, I believe, and eventually I think the Apple TV turned off. Now it won't turn on on respond in any way.
I've tried plugging it into iTunes with micro USB, several times. Never shows up. It doesn't light up at all no matter waht i do... Whattt should I do?
Thanks!

Check that you have correctly followed the instructions for your model of Apple TV.
If not already, try using a powered USB port.
Repeat the process but this time try connecting the cable while iTunes is closed.
Repeat the process with another cable.
Try restoring the Apple TV on another computer in another location.
