My iPod 2nd Generation won't turn on and will not connect to any computer!

A few months ago I woke up one morning and tried to turn on my iPod 2nd generation. It wouldn't, so I thought that maybe it was just out of battery. I plugged it into my computer but it would not connect and charge. I tried pluging it in to many other computers and none of them worked. (I tried MACs and PCs) When this happened my warranty was already up. Now my parents want to bring it in to see what is wrong, WHILE THERE IS NO WARRANTY!!!!!!! I told them that it was a waste of time and money because we would have to pay to see what was wrong. If there is something wrong that is easy to fix great!, but if there is something really wrong with it and it is crazy expensive to fix we just waisted time and money. If there is something wrong but there is no way of fixing it we also wasted time and money!! I have explained all of this to my parents but they won't listen!!! Is it worth it to get it checked out or should I just keep trying to explain to them that it's a waste of time and money???? Help!!

If your iPod is still charging if you plug it to the adapter, let it charge for about 10min, then connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If it does not charge, you'll have to get it serviced.
Apple can offer you a replacement device, but you'll have to pay for it:

My iPod won't turn on and will not connect to my iTunes

I used my iPod Mini on Sunday, December 4, 2005 without a problem. When I attempted to use it the next day, it would not turn on. The screen won't even come up to try and unfreeze it. I tried to connect it to my iTunes by plugging it into my USB port (which is fully functional) and it would not recognize that I had an iPod connected to my computer. I have called your support services, but the assistant was unable to find what was wrong with my iPod. I received this iPod Mini in April of 2005 and have only had it frozen once (which was fixed easily). I was wondering if someone could please help me?

I'm having the same problem. Mines froze and isn't working now either but won't update or restore either. You think you could tell me the service number.

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

IPod Touch 2nd generation won't turn on and won't show up under Devices on my iTunes.

I was trying to restore my iPod touch because it was locking itself and flashing. When I tried to restore it, the iPod turned itself off completely and won't turn back on. I've tried pressing the lock button and the home button at the same time, and I can't do anything from my computer because my iPod isn't showing up under Devices or Computer. If I put it in the USB port it opens iTunes, but isn't showing that it's plugged in. I have used different USB cords, switched USB ports, and tried charging the iPod, but it still won't turn on. Please help!

You should get it serviced, see your service options here:
6. My iPod is not eligible for warranty service. What are my service options?
Apple offers two options for iPods that are not eligible for warranty service (see below). You will need to provide credit card details for these services. If you do not have a credit card, please take your iPod to your local Apple Retail Store.
iPod Out-of-Warranty Battery Replacement Program: If your iPod requires service only because the battery's ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, you can have the battery replaced for a service fee by using the Online Service Assistant or at your local Apple Retail Store. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Technical Support.
For more details, please refer to the iPod Out-of-Warranty Battery Replacement Program Frequently Asked Questions.
Out-of-Warranty Service: If your iPod requires service for any other hardware failure that is determined by Apple to be repairable, Apple will service your iPod for the Out-of-Warranty Repair Service fee.
If you want to set up your iPod for the Out-of-warranty service, we recommend that you take your iPod to a local Apple Retail Store. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Technical Support.
Click here for pricing.
If Apple determines that an iPod is not repairable, for example, if it has failed due catastrophic damage or the iPod has been disassembled into multiple pieces, then Out-of-Warranty Service is not available and the iPod will be returned. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

My ipod 2nd generation won't charge. No status light when conected to computer.

Recently found an ipod shuffle 2nd generation. When I tried to charge it there was no status light on it at all. Thinking it could be beyond use as it hadn't been used for a long time. Any advice welcome.

Are you using the USB docking cable that came with your 2nd gen iPod? It has a mini-dock at the iPod end. The docking cable for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle does not work with the 2nd gen shuffle, because the connector is different.
If you are using the original cable (or a compatible third-party replacement), there are three possibilities. (1) A problem with the computer's USB port not working or supplying sufficient power. (2) A faulty docking cable, even if it's the right cable. (3) A problem on the shuffle.
If you can do some tests to rule out (1) and (2), then it is likely to be (3).

My Ipod 5th generation won't turn on and the home button is broken. what do i do?

My iPod was working fine all day and then I locked it and when I came back to it, it would not turn on and it had almost a full battery. I have tried to plug it into it's charger but it still wouldn't turn on so I plugged it into the computer and that didn't seem to work either. I would try the method of holding down the home button and lock button down at the same time but my home button is broken (which I also do not know why it has broken). PLEASE HELP

IPod won't turn on, and is not showing up on computer

I just got my 30 gb 5th generation iPod yesterday, synched all of my songs, and listened to it for a little while. Now today, I tried to connect my iPod to the computer, and nothing showed up on the iPod screen or on the computer. So I unplugged it and tried to turn it on, and it won't turn on. Can somebody please help me?

Before I posted this I tried to restart it and it didn't work. The second after I posted it, I tried again and it worked! I was probably doing something wrong. Thanks anyway!

Ipod touch will not turn on and will not connect to computer!

Help please! I accidentally dropped my ipod the other day (it has dropped before and not been a problem) and now it won't turn on or connect to a computer. I have googled it and tried everything! It is still under warranty but unfortunately the warranty doesn't cover accidents. Any suggestions??

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. It could be that the water corroded the contacts so try to clean any corrosion from them.
- Then charge overnight and try what you did before
If still does not work:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs.. They do not fix yours.

You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or send it in to Apple. See:

My ipod nano 7th generation won't turn on and is not recognized when I connect to my laptop. How can I fix this?

Also, I charged it overnight after it stopped working, so I believe the battery is full. iPod was not dropped or damaged, did not get wet.

I'm interested in the same answer because I'm having the same problem and I've just bought my ipod 2 weeks ago. I has happened a couple of times.
