Press and hold the power on button and the circle button on the front for about 10-15 seconds - If nothing try to plug in to the usb at the rear of the PC for more power and then try again.
It will work.

IPod will not work unless plugged into USB iPod 4th Generation

I have just bought my first iPod and I cannot get it to work unless it is plugged into the computer. The battery says that it's charged but as soon as I unplug it from the computer I can't get it to turn on. Has anyone else had this problem. I am using plugs that I got when I purchased the iPod.

I had a similar issue. When I got my 16GB 4th Gen Nano, unless it was plugged into the USB port of my Mac, it would continually reboot. I might be able to get 2-3 clicks in while navigating the menua, but it would always reboot. If it was plugged in, worked great. I returned it and the new seems to be fine (other than Coverflow issues).

What do I do when my iPod touch wants me to plug into iTunes and asks for a password on the iPod touch and can't do it?

What do I do when the iPod touch asks to be plugged into it ouch and nothing happens. The PC asks to use password on iPod touch and it can't be done.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT201263 My iPod is stuck on the "Plug into iTunes" screen. What do I do???

So, my computer is telling me that I need to type in my password into my iPod to unlock it, but my iPod is telling me to "Plug into Tunes". I can't unlock it on my iPod and I've already tried putting it into recovery mode (or whatever you call it) multiple times doing it differently each time, but it's still not working. It was previously jailbroken (if that makes a difference), but I just want to restore it now so I can get it to work. Someone with answers, pleeeeeeeease help me!!!

... It was previously jailbroken (if that makes a difference),
It makes a difference. A jailbroken iPod Touch cannot be fixed.
Buy a new one.

HT204291 I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on

I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver. My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front. When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on the left. When I watch Cable Television (not using the Apple TV), all 3 channels work fine so I know that the speaker connections are fine.

I had problems with streaming until I changed the WiFi channel that I was using. The original one conflicted with my neighbor. After that, MOST of my streaming problems vanished. Occasionally, a movie would pause for more buffering and I eventually ran an ethernet cable from the Apple TV to my Apple Extreme (to eliminate the Wifi). I have not had a single problem since then (except to repair the drywall after running the ethernet from one floor to another). :-)

Reset your iPod. Hold the power and the home button for 10 seconds till the iPod restarts. No data will be lost.

When I plug phone into laptop USB port it's unrecognized, but anything else I plug into USB works. How do I know if it's cord or phone? My cord works when plugged to wall outlet to charge.

My phone charges when it's plugged into wall just find, then I try n use cord n plug to laptop to USB port and it's unrecognized. But other thugs worked plugged into USB port so I know it's not the computer. How do I know if it's my phone or the cord itself that is the issue??

Also... Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.
