My 4th Gen. Ipod touch wont start up.....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!1

My ipod touch just turned off one day and it seemed like the battery just died so I thought nothing of it. Later I plugged it in to be charged. Ever since no matter where I plug it in it shows the battery life, which is completely drained, and the plug in lightning bolt sign. Ive tried about 5 different cords plugged into lots of different outlets and computers. I logged into my itunes account and everything i've done hasn't fixed it. Any advice?

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.
- 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.

and:
Not Charge
- See:      
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable.
- 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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My 4th gen ipod touch wont sync only check marked songs, how do i fix that?

          I just got a 4th gen. ipod touch.  it works fine everything is great on it but when i try to sync only check marked songs onto it from itunes it wont sync any songs at all.  I thought i solved the problem when i clicked "autofill" in the music tab under "my devices" but all that did was randomly put songs on my ipod.  i went to the settings and unchecked "choose items randomly" and tried again but it did the same thing.  i know its not my computer cuz the same thing was happening with my old ipod.  i have "sync only checked songs" marked but it just wont work.  PLEASE HELP ME!!

  • 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 wont charge, turn on, or appear in itunes for recovery.

    I have been trying to fix it for a few days now, repeatedly being linked to the same support pages but to no success. I ran the diagnostics tool in iTunes and everything is working fine it is just the device wont appear at all. I saw a back up that is saved from a few months back but i'm not sure what to do with it. It is stuck in a black screen, and nothing appears on screen. I have left it plugged into a wall charger and into my computer for several hours but no progress. It has 6.1.5.

    Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) usually resolves that error.

  • Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

  • When synching my 4th gen ipod touch I get error msg saying ipod could not be backed up because session could not be started with the ipod. It only does synch steps 2-5. Do I have to restore it?

    When synching by 4th gen ipod touch it skips the first step - backup-, does steps 2 through 5, then I get a message the ipod could not be backed up because a session could not be started with the ipod. How do I fix this? Do I have to restore my ipod? Will all my apps be erased?

    You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes.  When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

  • Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire.  I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.

    Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire.  I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.  A Genius suggested something went wrong during the transfer from my MBP to my iPod, but I tried resyncing it, and it seems to happen haphazardly.  Even if a podcast plays oddly one time, it might play perfect the next - so it can't have been the sync that went bad. 

    - First try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next restore from backup
    - The restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • Itunes wont recognize my 4th gen ipod touch but computer will

    iTunes refuses to recognize my 4th gen. iPod touch. Both are up to date with software and ive restarted my computer, ipod, and itunes multiple times and done everything ive found online. the computer recognizes it and says its working properly, but itunes does not put it anywhere in the devices. nor can i find it.

    You need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView to copy photos from photos synced to the iPod to a computer.

  • Have Macbook Pro & 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded & installed iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says "iTunes" Data too new to be used with this version of iTunes.

    Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1.  I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??

  • I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb

    I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.

    Hi johnsmiff99,
    That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.

  • When I touch the "photos" icon on my 4th gen iPod Touch, I get a page entitled "Albums" - it's white, with many lines.  At the very top of the screen, almost shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see the thumbnail of my album.  But I can't access it.

    I need help viewing my photos on my 4th gen iPod Touch.  When I choose the "photos" icon, I get a screen called "albums".  At the top of the screen, sort of shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see a thumbnail of where my pictures are.  What can I do to get back my "old" view of my pictures?
    Thanks.
    Judy

    Bring up the Multitask bar by double clicking on the home button, search for the photo app icon, tap on it until it starts to shake, hit the minus icon in the left corner to close the app.
    Close the task bar again and start the photo app again, this time it should work.
