I am having problems with my iPod 3rd generation as I can't get it to turn on past the apple logo

You've tried everything? What have you tried exactly?

My iPod 5th gen won't turn on!

My iPod 5th gen was working fine last night and after charging it won't turn on with power button today. I'm not able to reboot using home button and power button simultaneously because my home button stopped working couple weeks back and I was using touch screen for home function. Any suggestions on how I can reboot without the home button working? Thanks!

See this previous discussion:
Turn on without Home/Power Button

Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPod, iPhne or iPad from that backup. See the restore topic of:

IPod Nano 4th gen - screen flickers, won't turn on, isn't recognised by computer or iTunes.

My 4th gen iPod Nano has been playing up.
When I connect it to my computer or a dock, the screen flickers with the Apple logo. Once unplugged, it won't turn back on and the screen goes completely black. I tried to reset it numerous times (both connected and unplugged) but that didn't help at all.
I tried to see if I could fix it by restoring it and putting it in disk mode, but the iPod isn't recognise by any of the computers in my house and doesn't appear in either iTunes or 'My Computer' so that really doesn't help. I'm positive it's not an issue with my computer or USB cable because the other iPods in my house connect just fine.
Any idea on how to fix this?

If you have synced your iPod touch to a computer, it should be relatively easy to fix. Plug the iPod into the computer to which it is synced. Once plugged in, hold the home (square button on front) and the power button on the top for approximately 10-15 seconds. After the apple disappears from your screen a couple times, a new screen will popup indicating to start iTunes on your computer. Once you start iTunes, you will be given the option to begin the restore mode and then choose to restore your particular iPod. Once again, you have to had synced your iPod to a computer to utilize this option. Not sure how I figured it out, but I finally did! Good luck and let me know if it does/doesn't work for you.

Daughter's iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode, won't turn on after I restore it, please help...

My daughters iPod touch 4th gen is STUCK. Somehow it was disabled because of too many password attempts (my younger daughter was pushing numbers). I connected it to iTunes, did the press and hold power button + home button, then let go of sleep button. iTunes recognized it, gave me the option to restore it and did its thing. Here's the problem, now it won't GET OUT of that mode. After the first attempt, it wouldn't power on after I disconnected it from the computer. So I hooked it up again, and it says its detected an iPod in recovery mode and offers me the same "update & restore" option it did originally. Now what??? Please help. My daughter just got this two weeks ago for her birthday.

or
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

My iPod 5th gen touch won't turn on after running out of battery and then being charged for several hours

I was using my ipod touch 5th gen, when it ran out of battery. I wasn't able to charge it all night because the lighting adapter plug broke, and so this battery sign and the lighting charger sign kept popping up telling me to charge it. It ran like that all night and when I woke up it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried plugging it into a few different computers to charge it, and after several hours it still won't turn on. I tried plugging it into my computer with iTunes up, but it still would not charge and my computer would not recognize that it was there. Anyone want to give me some tips?
Thanks

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

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.

Hi everyone. I have a iPod nano 5th gen and every time I charge it, it comes up with the apple sign. It just won't turn on. I can restart it but it goes to the apple again. Is there a way I could get it replaced? I did win it in a game in syd.Any thoughts

Can you play the song in iTunes?
If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

HT1923 My iPod touch 2nd gen couldn't sync with itunes an unknown error occured then I tried shutting it off and now it won't turn on or off

I have an iPod touch 2nd gen When I plug it into the computer it says iPod can not sync because of an uniknown Error 0XE8000065. I tried turning it off but it seems frozen on a black screen. Now it won't turn on or off.

Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release.

My IPod shuffle 4th Gen Charges but won't come up in itunes or turn on?

I have bought an IPod shuffle 4th gen and it won't come up in Itunes and it won't turn on, in Itunes it just had a red light and when I unplugg it, no light at all.

Did it previously work with your computer and iTunes? Or is this brand new, never previously connected to your computer?
You can try this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Then, shut down your computer (power off) and start it up, with iPod shuffle NOT connected. Run iTunes. Then, try connecting the iPod shuffle again.
If that iPod is less than one year old, it is under warranty. You can contact Apple (or make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar) to see about getting it replaced (if it's broken).
