My ipod 6th generation froze and now won't turn on. HELP!

My car stereo will only support my ipod 6th generation if it has the right software updates. It was not playing my music today so I plugged my ipod into my computer and updated it to version 1.1. I added a few songs and unplugged it and put it into my car stereo. it froze up my stereo and the ipod itself and would not go back to the normal screen. It stayed frozen for about 45 minutes and now the ipod will not even turn on when i plug it into my computer. has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know what i can do about this?! i use my ipod every day

Most likely the iPod is fried. Take it into an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider so they can run a diagnostic on it and see what exactly is going on. Most likely the battery or HDD.

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • My iPod Classic froze and now won't turn on I've tried everything

    I went to listen to my iPod, which had almost full battery, turned it on, then pressed menu to go back and choose another song, but it froze for about 10seconds then went to a black screen. Now I can't get it to turn on, I tried restoring and everything, I even left the battery to run down for a week then charge it, still nothing, I've had it less than 3 months, can anybody help me please?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You will very like need a computer with iTunes make the iPod work.

  • IPhone froze and now won't turn on

    Hello, my iPhone 3 froze so I unplugged my charger and let it die. When I woke up the next morning it was off, so I shrugged it off and brought it to school to keep it safe. When I came home and went to charge it, the battery low sign didn't pop up and it seemed like it won't charge or turn on.  My lock/off button is broken so that didn't work, and I tried around seven different chargers. Does anyone have a solution?

    if the power button doesnt work not a lot of options to turn it on with or do a reset apple will do a out of warranty replace for 149$

  • My ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

    my ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. My Ipad 3 was a bit slow/unresponsive, and then it just went blank. I pressed the home button to see if it would come back on, and it was extremely slow, but it did show me the home screen. However, then it went off and wont come back on at all now. I have tried charging, tried the reboot, connected to itunes (which cannot detect the ipad) and nothing is working.
    The ipad is only 2 months old, and no damage!
    Any suggestions? Thanks

  • HT201401 my iPhone 5 randomly switched itself when somebody was calling me and now won't turn on. it had 90% battery, I've tried factory reset, connecting to iTunes and nothing works. the phone is approx 18 months old so surprise surprise out of warranty.

    My 5S just started doing this on Thursday: every fraction of a second or so it oscillates between connecting and disconnecting with the charger (USB or wall, doesn't matter). Since it's still under the limited warrantee, I took it to the local Mac dealer (I live in a small town w/out an Apple store) and they shipped it off. I'm waiting now for the replacement--telephonless, too!
    What concerns me is that many people seem to be having this issue.
    You were right to be suspicious of the Apple store employees. Once they replicated the behavior that you experienced, they should have immediatly offered to exchange your phone. Anything else, in my opinion, is unacceptable. As long as your phone is still doing it, I'd go back, ask for the manager and tell them to exchange your phone.

  • I have an ipad mini that won't power on. It was turned off to charge overnight. In the morning it was warm and now won't turn on no matter what I do. I've tried resetting using the power / home button combination and nothing works.

    If you have owned the device, as in purchased from Apple, less than a year then there will be no charge to repair, or most likely, replace the device. If you have had the device more than a year you will be charged an out of warranty cost for replacement ($219 I think) and that is much cheaper than a new device. If you have Applecare+ then you have an additional year of coverage and the replacement will be $49 or $79 depending on when you got the Applecare.

  • My MacBook Pro shutdown after it said my USB was draining to much power and now won't turn on please help

    Hi my MacBook will not turn on after it said my USB was draining to much power, and it shut down and now won't turn back on please help

    USB power management is part of the SMC (system management controller).  Try to reset SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Then get a self-powered USB external hub.  It takes power from a wall socket and saves the MBP power system.  Starting at $20 at BestBuy and similar stores.

  • MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.

    MacBook Pro turned off on its own and now won't turn back on.  Battery had 41% just before this happened and green indicator on power cord is showing, so it seems like it's charging.  What should I do?

    The led on the power adapter should be amber if it is charging.  Green just indicates that it is supplying power to the MBP.
    Try a SMC reset:

    my ipod touch shut off and now it wont turn back on, how do i fix that?

    Hey lattifahfromny,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may assist you:

    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • I downloaded the new software on my iphone 4 and it worked for a few hours and now won't turn on

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. If still nothing, connect to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, iPhone may turn ON itself. If still nothing keep on charger and Reset. It can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

  • Was playing the Ipod and it went black and now won't turn on

    was playing the IPod touch with camera and it went black in the middle of a game ans now won't turn on.

    After charging for half an hour, reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If it now works you are done.
    - Connect it to the computer.  If it appears in iTunes restore the iPod
    - If not seen, see if placing he iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Ipod Touch 3g Got hot and now won't turn on

    I have an iPod touch 3g, 8gb's to be specific. I forgot the password to get into it, so I plugged it into my computer in order to reset the whole thing. I plugged it in and it connected, but after three seconds or so it disconnected. I tried plugging it in again, but the computer didn't notice anything plugged in.
    I looked on the internet for some advice and I learned that I could hold the power button and the power button at the same time for somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds to restart it. I did that. The iPod turned off, but it got really hot and now won't power on plugged in or not.
    What caused this? It's written all over this website that doing that would just reset the iPod, not kill it! Did it toast the motherboard?

    The cable should not cause a problem unless it was really damaged and had power going to the wrong contacts.

    However, th heating may indicate a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
