My iPod is dead, and it will not charge. Also, my lock button is stuck. What should I do to fix it?

Earlier today, my iPod touch lock button got stuck. That wasn't a problem. Now, it wont charge. I just tired to reset it, and it went off. But now, I can't even turn it back on. What should I do??!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- 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 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.

Place it in recovery mode by:

Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:

My iphone 4 ran out of battery and now will not charge

Yesterday my iphone was acting unusual randomly alerting me with a message saying something like the accessory you have plugged into your iphone is not compatable with this device(while my iphone was not plugged into anything at all). it had done this several times during the day untill had turned it off and then back on. For the rest of the day no alerts had popped up. Later that night my iphone ran completely out of battery dead and now will not charge or turn on, while on the charger or not. I have not updated the phone since i got it. I just tried plugging it into my computer and my computer (PC)recognized it but said that the device could not be installed. Is there anything i can do?

You most likely have dirt, moisture or a bent pin in the dock connector on the phone. Inspect it with a magnifying glass, and if it's dirt do your best to clean it thoroughly. A dry toothbrush frequently will fix it.
If that doesn't resolve the problem the phone needs to be repaired.

I have a white ipod touch 4 and it will not go into DFU mode. I know I am doing it right as I have 2 other black ones that I can put into DFU anytime no problems. The ipod works perfect besides that. Can anyone help?

DFU or Device Firmware Upgrade mode allows all devices to be restored from any state.

I have an ipod classic original and it will not connect to itunes for me to sync new music

i have an ipod classic original and it will not connect to itunes for me to sync new music

The first two generations of iPod (that used a standard 6-pin Firewire cable) don't work with Windows. There was a workaound through MusicMatch for the second-gen, but I have no idea if that software is still available, or even if it will install on a modern copmputer (Windows ME, 2000 and XP era).
If instead of original, you mean the first model that got labelled as "classic," with a dock connector, if you describe exactly what appears on both the iPod and the PC screen when you plug it in, somebody might be able to help you. My first recommendations would be to (1)try a different USB cable, to see if that's the problem, and then (2) try synching with a different computer, to see if your PC is the problem. If neither of those result in success, then the community here can help you to try troubleshooting the iPod itself.

My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?

My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?
When i plug it in to my compuer it shows an empty battery with the charge symbol then after a while it shows the apple logo like it is turning on then nothing happens and it goes back to the battery.

I haven't left it overnight to charge. Is there a difference between letting it charge overnight and an hour or two with no results? The ipod does not even recognize that the cord is attatched.
I left it on my dresser in my bedroom.

TS2771 Ipod connects to tv, but will not charge or sync

My ipod was charging fine on my drive home. I connected it to my tv with the video cable and was watching netflix. Then I got a message that the battery was at less than 20%, even though the ipod had been connected to the wall charger the entire time I was watching.
I've tried every charger, every cable, every dock, and every computer I own now, and it will not charge with any of them. Neither my desktop or laptop will recognize that it is connected. The ipod never shows that it is connected or charging. I tried pushing the power & home buttons to reset it and still have the same problem. The reset made no difference. And I'm low on power so there's not much else I can do before it completely runs out of charge.
Any idea why it would give out on me so suddenly, or what I can do to fix it?
