- 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.

    What exactly happened when you tried to restore the iPod? Restore from backup?
    Have you went to Settings>General>reset>Reset all settings?
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • My ipod (4th generation) will not charge.I have tryed a wall cherger and charging on different computers.Nothing! what should i do?

    help me my ipod 4th generation will not charge. i have tryed a wall ataptor an other computers.What should i do? Should i get a new ipod or should i try and get a new charger and see if that helps.It has not been changing for two weeks straight now .Help Please.

    Either your USB cable for the charger has been damaged or the part of the iPod where you insert the USB cable is damaged. This usually happens due to water damage or carelessly removing the USB plug off from the iPod. Hope this clears some doubts
    You might also wanna try and check with the Genius Bar at Apple, they usually know whats wrong.

  • Will IPOD 4th generation Charger work with IPOD Nano

    Hi
    My son has a 4th generation IPOD (20GB) which came with the standard IPOD charger. My wife has just bought an IPOD Nano (4GB). I just want to check whether I can use my son's charger to charge my wife's IPOD Nano. I don't want to risk damaging my wife's IPOD Nano in case the IPOD and IPOD Nano are rated differently and require different chargers.
    Thanks
    Pentium III 800   Windows XP  

    Yes, you can use that charger with the Nano.
    It will work just fine.

  • HT1222 Does the ipod 4th generation have siri with the ios 6.1 update?

    In the iOS 6.1 update details it says,
    "Purchase movie tickets through Fandango with Siri (USA only)". 
    Does this mean the update comes with siri?

    Nope, Siri is not available on the 4th generation

  • HT4061 ipod 4th generation stuck on start up screen, won't do anything (the black screen with the silverish apple). Help?

    This morning, i tried turning on my ipod (4th generation) and it is stuck at  the black start upp screen (the screen that has the siverish apple when you have first turned on your device). It has been stuck like this for about a half an hour now, and I'm not sure what to do. This would be the second time in at least three months I have had problems with it (around December it went into recovery mode and i had to reset it to the factory settings). Is there anyway I can handle this at home, or do i have to go into an apple store to have this fixed? Also, I plugged it into my computer and it didnt show up in itunes like it did last time. Thanks! (I'm pretty sure its the IOS 6 because i have not updated it since then).

  • TS1363 My Ipod touch 4th Generation, Is stuck in recovery mode.

    Okay, my Ipod touch 4th generation, Is stuck in recovery mode after trying to restore and update it to the latest software. The restore failed and it's now stuck in Recovery mode. I've tried everything, and it just wont work. It won't even recognise in Itunes. Help?

    I don't know if you will see or get this because issue is old but I thought I'd try anyway.  This is what happened to me.  I don't see any responses, if you don't mind me asking, what ever happened with your ipod?  This is my son's and I don't have a store around the corner so I was curious before I make a trip?

  • HT1430 We tried resetting my ipod 4th generation touch using above directions with no luck.  Any other ideas?

    We tried resetting ipod 4th generation using Apple instructions.  It will not turn on, but shows the charging symbol, with little to no battery power no matter how long it charged.  Any ideas?  We've had this for less than 5 months.
    Thank you!

    - 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.
