My backlight for ipod touch is off I tried a restore and nothing...

I tried a restore and the backlight is still off. I'm hoping there is a solution out there that someone comes up with?

If you did not restore to factory defaults/new iPod try that.  Whan a restore to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod touch 4g- Updated, then tried to restore and it won't work.

    I just updated my iPod touch 4g. I'm trying to restore it now, but it won't work and says 'Error 1611.'  My ipod has the 'plug into iTunes' symbol up, but my iPod is plugged in and it doesn't make a difference. I've tried restoring it several times with the same results. Help!

  • Ipod Touch - turn off slider appears on startup and ipod won't play music

    Hoping someone can shed some light on my problem.
    The two problems I have are:
    1) the red Turn Off slider appears immediately on turning the iPod on
    2) when the play button is hit, it automatically pauses immediately.
    The problems in detail:
    I have a 2nd generation iPod touch that was working fine until I updated to 3.1.2 firmware. It worked fine for a few hours and then the touch screen began behaving weirdly. First, it wouldn't allow me to slide the unlock slider across the screen, and then when it finally would let me, it basically accessed random apps and moved randomly between the app home screens. All of this was jerky and erratic and it looked as if my iPod had gone schizo!
    I took the iPod to a Genius at the Apple Store, but when I arrived the problem had fixed itself (at least, the random accessing of apps etc), but I noticed that on startup, the red turn off slider would appear immediately. After canceling the slider, I went to play some music. Immediately after hitting play, the ipod paused. Repeated attempts yielded the same results. It won't let me press play or listen to any music, regardless of whether it was iTunes purchased, an audiobook, podcast or whatever. You hit the play button, it turns into a pause button for a split second and then reverts back.
    I have tried restoring the iPod a number of times on my computer and other macs (I'm running 10.5.8 OS X and iTunes 9). I have also done a couple of option+restores, having downloaded previous firmware versions (3.0 first, then 2.2.1). Both attempts left me with an error message (20). I am going spare about this and would really appreciate any advice!
    There is one thing that worries me. I have been told by the Genius I spoke with that the moisture indicator inside the headphone jack shows that it has been exposed to water. Would this result in the above described problems? Everything else seems to work fine. I have even managed to get YouTube back after fiddling with the date settings (i.e. setting the date to 2030 and then back). I want to either restore my iPod to a previous firmware version that worked or make the update that I paid for work the way it should!
    I appreciate any suggestions!

    this happened to me. I figgered that after you play apps like games which r side ways causes this for example nba live lite it caused the problem to me same when the slider stays in one spot i see that apps cause this problem. i just figgered it out cause it happens allways after certian game apps or other app. To fix this test all the apps and see and delete the ones which cause this but not all apps which r side ways cause it. I hope this helps

  • This is my first time to ask a question, but my iPod touch 4G is not letting me restore and my i have taken it to the apple store and THEY could restore it but then after it shuts off and I can't restore it. Can anyone help me?

    Hi, umm so anyways my ipod is about 2 years old now and i think the reason why it started to malfunction in the first place was because i had too much stuff on my ipod, apps, movies, and junk. But now i took it to the apple store and they were able to restore my ipod but when i go home it goes bad again and i try ot restore it on my laptop and it says it can't restore it. (11) and another thing is that when i try to turn my ipod on, it turns on to the apple logo then all of a sudden theres suppose to be the unlock screen but instead a black screen with a tiny loading sign in the middle and it keeps buffering and it never turns on. and then it shuts off with a white screen and then does the same exact thing for like 10 minutes. please help me. I dont know what to do. and my dad will be very ****** if it cant be helped..D:

  • Forgot iPod Touch 4th passcode. Trying to recover and restore doesn't work!

    My daughter got new iPod Touch for Christmas. She added a passcode for fun, but promptly forgot it. According to support, I'm supposed to put the iPod in "recover" mode and then "restore" it to erase everything including the passcode. However, I've tried it like 100 times and it just restores back to saying it's my daughter's iPod and asks for passcode. I even tried deleting the backup records under preferences/devices and it still does the same thing! HELP!!! How can I get the computer to totally erase the iPod so I can start over!
    P.S. Apple could have cooked up an easier
    way to recover a passcode -- a hint option or something. My goodness!

    - You are placing the iPod in recovery mode right? See the following for recovery mode:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    - Next try placing it in DFU mode and restoring.
    http://geekindisguise.wordpress.com/2009/07/16/how-to-put-ipod-touch-iphone-into -dfu-mode/
    - Are you try to restore from backup with the backup having the unknown passcode? You can delete the backup by going to iTunes' preferences under the Devices tab.

  • I accidently unplugged my iPod touch during update I tried to restore but the 'iPod update server could not be contacted' PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, please help me
    When my iPod was 'preparing for update' my iPod USB accidently fell out. I turned it on and a usb sign and an arrow to iTunes came up, so I plugged it in. It comes up with a message saying iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode, You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. After that, I clicked restore and it said 'The iPod software server update could not be contacted' and that's it!
    I've tired,
    Resetting my iPod (the usb to iTunes sign still comes up)
    Holding down the Home and Power button at the same time for many seconds
    Restting my computer
    Going into LAN settings and changing that
    Please, I really want it too work as I just got it today for my birthday
    Any help would be much appriciated, thank you

  • Ipod nano lost all songs- tried to restore and wont

    Hi, I hope someone ca help me.
    The ipod nano lost songs. when connected to itunes- all songs seemed to be able to be loaded onto the device- but once disconnected they were not there.
    Then tried to restore (didn't need update) and it said that it wouldn't restore because ipod files are used by another application- (not that I am aware???)
    I did the diagnostic test thing and it said:
    Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 24CD , PCI bus 0, device 29, function 7. WARNING: problem with device.
    Obviously a problem with device.....Any clues- in very simple english- as I am a beginner- it took me hours to find this discussion forum!!!

    "all songs seemed to be able to be loaded onto the device- but once disconnected they were not there."
    This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

  • Will ios 7 be for ipod touch

    I was wondering if ios 7 wil be for ipod touch 4th cause it looks really great and i would love to have it on my apple device?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iOS 7 will only be available for the 5th generation iPod touch. The 4th generation iPod touch has got 256 MB of RAM, and all iOS 7 devices have 512 MB, so it looks like the 4th generation iPod touch hasn't got enough memory
