HT1476 While charging my IPOD touch just stopped half way through now it won't charge

My iPod touch was charging and it stopped halfway through and now it won't charge at all

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge.

I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge. holding power+home isn't working either. i've had it plugged in for a while, but i'm pretty sure that's pointless if it won't even connect....help?

Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset (may not work).
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to your comnputer and try to restore.
- If the screen is still white then it appears yu have a hardware problem and appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I can't get my iPod Touch to connect to iTunes or my computer, help!?

I have the latest version of iTunes, an account, ect. And when I plug my iPod Touch into the computer it doesn't register/show up at all. My computer doesn't show a mobile/removable device, or anything with Apple, iPod, or anything of the sort. Neither does iTunes.
My iPod touch is an older model, but I don't know which one exactly. It was given to me by my sister in law, and she reset it to factory settings so it's a completely blank slate and I can't do anything with it other than turn it on and off.
I've tried EVERYTHING on this site : http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/
and even checked through some suggestions about drivers and things here in this help forum. I can't follow the steps because the drivers, or the device aren't showing up on my computer at all. Can someone please help me out here? I don't want to have this be a paper weight, I can't afford to buy a new one or anything.

try connecting the device in _*recovery mode*_, then restore from your backup.
also, make sure [_*Apple Mobile Device Service*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567] is installed and started.

My daughters Ipod touch was stolen and retrieved, but now it won't work. It only says Ipod is disabled when turned on. What can I do to fix this?

When device is started the screen says Ipod is disabled. It will not allow me to do anything. How can I fix this issue???

Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If not successful, try DFU mode.

You need to use a laptop or a PC. Download and install iTunes. Create an iTunes account and then use the USB cable to connect your iPod to your computer.
Depending on the amount of charge in the battery it may take a few minutes for iTunes and your computer to recognize the iPod.
When iTunes detects your iPod you can give it a name and set up how and what you want iTunes to synch to the iPod.
While you're on line, connecte to the App Store and download the owners manual for your iPod...

IPod Touch won't charge, turn on, or do anything.... HELP?

Hi
I have a 1st Gen iPod Touch
the problem was
it had 10% power left
so i charge it with an AC wall charger
after about 2 mins
the ipod shutdown immediately
like without the circling thing
then i unplug the ipod
plug it in my laptop (a PC, vista, with itunes)
nothing happen
i tried holding the Sleep/Wake button & Home for 30 secs, Failed
i tried holding Sleep/Wake button to turn it on, but again failed
So i notice it has this weird respond
the wall charger has a little light, whenever it's plugged in, it green.
whenever it's charging something, it turns red
so even though i plug my itouch for hours, it still green
and the weird thing is
after i unplugged the wall charger with the itouch still connected
the green light is still on
so i assumed the itouch gave out power
i'm a software guy but no electronic stuff guy
so i think somehow the circuit thingy in the battery has been switched from getting energy to giving out battery
is there anyway i can fix this?
the bad thing are it won't turn on, it won't charge
contact me at [email protected]
if you have any problem reading this
because i think it's confusing at first

It sounds like something fried.
If you're lucky you just need the battery replaced.
If it's still under warranty send it to Apple if it isn't then is there an iPod Doctor where you are ?
That battery replacement out of warranty was running around $75 when I last checked but if the charge is more you'll have to weigh what ever the repair cost is against buying a refurbished Touch.

Can I transfer music from my iPod touch that was originally burned from CD's or does it only transfer music purchased from Itunes? My computer crashed and I lost all of my music?

My computer crashed and I lost all of my music. I have music still on my Ipod touch but a lot of it was originally burned from CD's onto my computer. Is there any way to transfer this music back to a new computer or will I need to re-burn each individual CD again to get this onto the new computer?

- iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one fo those discussed here:
Copy music

Ipod won't charge, turn on, or connect to computer

It 's been doing that since plugging it into a defected outlet, where the wire started heating up, and sparks came out of the outlet. I've tried resetting it but nothing happened, and it is cracked a bit, but has never had any problems before. I know taking it to an apple store will help but I would rather see a solution I can do at home first because there's not a really close apple store near me.
It's the latest version of Ios 5
4th generation iPod Touch
8gb
Was bought sometime before Christmas 2011

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 8 GB 4G. They do not fix yours.
