My 4th gen iPod touch has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on

I have a 4th gen iPod touch. It has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on. I cannot restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. I have tried pressing and holding the home and/or the power key but that does not work as well. I have tried restarting Apple Mobile Support. I have updated my iTunes. I have tried EVERYTHING but it will not turn on at all. Any suggestions?

Hi BCarolinaCopper,
This sounds like you need to have a battery replacment this can be done if you have AppleCare or you will have to pay if unable to if the fault continues please
visit a apple store genuis bar contact them via this link or https://www.apple.com/uk/retail/geniusbar/ or through the support on https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
Good Luck

My 4th gen ipod touch has crashed, just displaying a dark blue screen. It won't turn off or do anything. Connecting it to the laptop does nothing either. Is this common and any ideas??

My 4th Gen ipod touch has crashed, just displaying a bark blue screen. It will not turn off or respond to any buttons being pressed or held for a number of minutes. Connecting to the laptop does not help either. Has anyone had this happen on their i touch or have a solution??

Hello. I tried backing up my 4th gen. iPod touch to the 10/21/2014 settings, but when I tried that, it backed me up to the June 2014 settings, even though I back my iPod up everyday. Is there anyway to back it up to the Oct. settings? Thank you.

If a restore to factory settings did not resolve the issue, it's a likely indicator of a hardware fault, meaning you'll need to or want to set up an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar.

My 4th Gen iPod Touch has my location wrong

My 4th Gen iPod Touch that runs iOS 5, has my location way wrong.
On the weather app, maps app, other apps, and icloud it shows my location is some house in Columbia, SC.
The problem is, is I don't live anywhere near Columbia,SC! I live in Jacksonville,FL! So my question is, is why is my iPod doing this, and how can I fix it?

The iPod get its location from where the Apple database thinks your router is located. (Was your router ever in Columbia SC?). In any case, sometimes Apple 's database is incorrect. There is nothing you can do about it. Apple should eventually correct it.

4th gen ipod touch has white screen

I have a 4th generation Ipod touch. The screen turned white all of a sudden for no reason. I've tried holding buttons letting it die and plugging it back in but the white screen is still there.It still makes noise. like the other day it was making a noise like someone was calling it. Then if I press the sleep/wake button and home button it takes a picture and I can hear the noise but still have the white screen. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks

try one of these ways:
> restore you iDevice with iTunes in Recovery Mode (if you have to... back up your device before restoring)
> let the battery go completely dead.... then plug it using USB to PC or Mac OS
> replace the LCD with www.ifixandrepair.com
> go to the Apple Store (official store not retail) and see what they can do. they can replace your device for refurbished price

My 4th gen ipod touch has started to quit right for no reason.

My ipod 4th gen has developed a mind of its own. Doesn't matter what I might be doing it will just quit and go to a black screen. Wait a few seconds and it will restart. I have upgraded to ios 6.0 hoping that the problem would go away, no luck.
I tried to do a restore and got a message telling me that it could not be completed. Tired a few more times same message about the server. Any help appreciated.

4th Gen ipod touch has a white screen

4th Generation ipod has a white screen. I have done the hard restart with no success. Have attached it to the computer for a restore--it goes through the whole process and the white screen stays. Even with the white screen, you can hear that you slide the bar to start and apps are available, but the white screen won't go away. It is only 2 days old!!! HELP!

Try starting with the bold:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

I've tried on my 4th Gen Ipod Touch and on tha computer... but when I try to purchase something it keeps saying my address is invalid and its not... and so it won't lemme download anything and I dunno wut to do...

I can't purchase anything because my Ipod Touch 4th Gen keeps saying invalid address
When I know its correct... and I dunno wut to do about it...

There are a number of threads about it - it looks like Apple recently updated their address validation. Some people have recorded success by :
ensuring that their iTunes account address is exactly the same as appears on their credit card bill
putting something in the second line of the address (including just copying the first line)
expanding abbreviations e.g. St to Street, Ave to Avenue etc (or conversely abbreviating)
putting apartment or suite number on the second address line

My iPod Touch has been locked out for 22 million minutes, and will not let me restore it?

I hadn't used my iPod in at least a few weeks prior to turning it on and charging it. After I did, it gave me a notification that said, "Disabled for 22, 311, 091 minutes." So I looked into it and decided to restore my iPod using iTunes on my computer. However, after attempting to restore it, it told me that I would have to enter a passcode on it. I do not have any access to other computers, and it won't connect to the Internet to use Find My iPhone unless I used voice command to access FaceTime -- which only works when it is unlocked. I know the password, but I really don't want to wait for a month or so to access it. How do I fix this?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

My iPhone 4S won't charge. It has been plugged in for 30 minutes and won't ever charge

I have had my iPhone 4S for about 5 months. I plugged it in this morning and it won't charge. It has been on the charger for about 30 minutes and it won't get any charge. I don't know what happened, but nothing changed overnight.

Try a hard reset. Keep holding the buttons down for at least a minute or until you see the Apple logo light up. Make sure your power cord is good. You may had a bad battery.

New 4th Gen. iPod Nano 16GB. Plugged in for the first time. PLEASE READ!

I got the new 4th generation for christmas and i plugged it in and something pops up about registering and i clicked later.
and then it tells me that I have to Read and agree to the software.
So I read through all of that and at the end, there is a box you can check to say that you have read and agreed. I did that, but then you have to click a button to confirm/continue im guessing. Well, my problem is, that my computer screen is too small for me to see the button, in other words, I cant confirm/continue and am stuck there, I cant do anything else with the ipod with out continuing this step. I have tried to Maxamize the screen and dragging over. nothing seems to work.
Is there any other day to agree and confirm to this? If there isn't, is there a way that I can get to the confirm/continue button?
I really need to use my iPod.
I Have windows Xp.
PLEASE REPLY.
my iPod is important.
I have tried changing my screen resolution.

you have a Windows computer -- that's the problem.
it would work just fine on a Mac.

Since downloading the iOS5.1 software to a 4th Gen ipod Touch Facetime doesn't work for all contacts. Any ideas?

When trying to facetime a contact (which worked prior to update) it says that person is 'unavailable for facetime'. Some contacts work and some don't. Facetime is enabled in settings.
Also can message some people but not others - not necessarily the same people that can't be facetimed.
Anyone experienced similar or got any ideas?
Thanks.

No, just some of them. Tried getting them to facetime my daughter which worked, but still couldn't facetime back.

I have a 4th gen ipod touch and i reset to factory settings but it is frozen with the apple logo with a gray lined circle. I've tried running out battery and when i connected to itunes, it flashes gray and freezes again. I don't know what to do plz help.

there is a program called recboot. you can download it for free in two parts. one part takes your device out of recovery mode and the other puts it into recovery mode. ive used it before but it doesnt always work and you have to be patient. try it and tell me what happens

HT1430 My 4th Gen iPod touch will not turn, doesnt charge, and i can't reset in computer because it says it is protected by a passcode, but i cant enter pass code because the screen stays black and won't even light up... What do I do

My 4th gen iPod Touch has had a blank screen for about 3-4 weeks now, it will not turn on, sync, or charge. iTunes recognizes its plugged up, but i cant reset it because it says its passcode protected, but i cant enter passcode due to screen not lighting up or working. How do i fix this?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
