  • Ipod touch won't turn on + broken home button.

    I bought my 5th generation Ipod touch in September 2013, so it's just over a year old.
    The other night I was scrolling through instagram, pressed the sleep button, then 5-10 minutes later I needed to search something but my Ipod screen stayed black. This has happened before to me, once when I had an Iphone so I let it die then charged it and it was okay. Second time was with this Ipod just over a week ago, I let it sit overnight and brought it to a device repair store and they said I just needed a new charger.
    And now this. I let it sit overnight, plugged it in and it's stopped working. I tried plugging it into my computer and nothing showed up. Now since my home button is broken, I use assistive touch so I'm very limited with what I can do. Some people have said plug it in and put it into recovery mode, but that requires a home button and being able to connect to your itunes.
    This ipod is probably a waste of time but I have too much stuff on there to just let it die forever. Is there ANYTHING I can possibly do? Is there anyway that Future Shop or another repair store can help me? Please help!

    Ipods automatically have a one year warrany unless you have violated the terms. But you can pay to extend the warranty. It depends, they may fix it for free or they may charge a bit. Im not entirely sure. But id say theres a good chance that they may fix it for free. With battery replacements, ive heard that they give you an entirely new ipod with a charge of $80. So i think it depends

  • My iPod 5th gen touch won't turn on after running out of battery and then being charged for several hours

    I was using my ipod touch 5th gen, when it ran out of battery. I wasn't able to charge it all night because the lighting adapter plug broke, and so this battery sign and the lighting charger sign kept popping up telling me to charge it. It ran like that all night and when I woke up it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried plugging it into a few different computers to charge it, and after several hours it still won't turn on. I tried plugging it into my computer with iTunes up, but it still would not charge and my computer would not recognize that it was there. Anyone want to give me some tips?
    Thanks

  • MY G3S iphone will not display screen to turn on, If I keep my finger on the home button it vibrates and itunes come on still w no screen display

    My G3S iphone will not display screen to turn on. If I hold down home button itunes comes on but screen still doesn't display. Volume works but, I can't turn phone off either. HELP!!!

    I tried to do this and it was not successful. If I restore to factory settings through computer will I also lose my cellphone number? I'm not worried about apps or anything those are fine. I just need to know if my phone will no longer be registered with my Verizon number.

  • IPod 5th gen won't turn on. was fully chargd last night and this morning it's staying off. how do i save it? (my home button doesn't work)

    it's also not being recognized by my laptop and itunes

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                          
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

    - 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 another cable              
    - 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.

  • IPod does not charge or turn on but is recognized in Windows and iTunes

    A couple of days ago after disconnecting my iPod in iTunes the iPod display went blank. It will not turn on nor will it display if it is charging if it is connected to the wall power adapter. I tried reseting it and I let it sit for 24 hours like the apples website said and nothing happened. What did happen is that Windoes recognizes it and so does iTunes and the hard drive spins and is acessible. I let reset it and let it sit another 24 hours and it still does not turn on nor will the power adapter recognize it. The display does not appear broken and it physically looks good.
    Any ideas?

    The only thing you haven't mentioned is whether you've tried to restore it. If that doesn't work, it looks like it will need service.
    Restoring the iPod to factory settings.
    Put the iPod into disk mode first.
    Putting iPod into disk mode.
    Restoring erases the iPod hard drive, so you will need to reload your songs from iTunes.

  • My iPhone 3GS displayed a message that it was overheated, now it wont turn on except for the Apple logo, and iTunes doesn't recognize it!

    My iPhone 3GS displayed a message saying it was over heating and to turn it off.
    I turned it off and the next day that I turned it back on, it wont go passed the main Apple screen.
    It had a message to re-connect to iTunes, then that the IMEI and SIM were unknown.
    Now it wont turn on at all!!

    Make sure it's fully charged. Hold the Sleep/Wake + Home buttons down (at least 15-seconds) until Apple logo lights up. If that does not work, you may need a new battery.
