Go through the steps here and see if anything works for you.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
You might have to bite the bullet and restore the device if nothing else works. If that doesn't bring it back to life, make an appointment at an Apple Store and let take a look at it.

HT4623 my phone will not charge or turn on what do I DO?

my phone will not charge or turn on what do I DO?

First: Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears (typically 10 seconds, but hold for up to 30 if nothing happens). This will usually resolve the problem, unless the update failed in the middle.
Next: Restore the phone using iTunes on your computer. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Help my Ipod will not charge or turn on.

My Ipod touch will not charge, or turn on. First it was just giving me the apple logo, then I attempted to restore, but a message appeared an error occurred(9). I went to error code 9 and did what was suggested and it still does not work.

Did you try restoring on another computer as recommended by:
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

My Ipod will not charge or turn on

I plugged my Ipod into a addapter that sends out 12 volt instead of 5 volt. When I did that my Ipod got a black screen but it was still on. I could not turn my Ipod off so I let it die and then I tried to charge it again but it would not charge. Is there anyway I can fix this? please help
It is a 5th generation Ipod

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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. I think you fired the iPod by the 12 volts

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 ipod WILL NOT charge nor turn on

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation that I lost months ago. I found it Wednesday completely dead so I tried charging it for a few hours. I saw that my ipod didn't even charge! I tried pressing the home and the sleep/wake button at the same time but nothing. The apple logo didn't appear, so I took it to a repair shop and they said that the circuts have been shorted out from water damage but the sticker in the headphone jack is still white. All they did was see if it could charge just like I did. What can I do to fix my ipod?

Dear lenore_phila
Similarily, iWashed my daughter's iPod in the washing machine! ithought iWas dead...however, iJust let it sit in a warm dry atmosphere for about a week, iLet it "dry out" so to speak, iThen hooked it up to the iTunes as usual and lo and behold it worked just fine. iDo not however, recommend trying to use it before you let it dry out, just let the battery die out fully, then like iSaid, hook it up and charge it, hopefully yours will have the same charmed luck that mine did and work as usual, in fact, you'd never even know that it ever went through the washer. iDid however think that it was done, so iHad to go out and buy her another one, therefore iAm the proud owner of my own iPod nano now, as we now have three of them....Hope this advice works for you

HELP!! Ipod touch will not charge or turn on

My ipod touch will not charge or turn on. I think the battery went dead, but now it won't even turn on or charge. My computer does not even recognize that it is plugged in. I have tried to charge it on other devices and get the same result. Can anyone help?

TRY GEORGE GUERRERO'S ANSWER FIRST.
Plug it into the computer for about 15 minutes.
If it starts to turn on after about 15 minutes then unplug it.
As it is turning on hold down BOTH THE POWER AND THE HOME BUTTON on the itouch for 15 seconds, or until it flashes white or just turns back off.
Then RELESE THE POWER BUTTON BUT STILL HOLD DOWN THE HOME BUTTON.
Then plug it back in.
The computer should reconise your ipod.

My ipod classic will not charge or turn on

MY IPOD CLASSIC WILL NOT CHARGE OR TURN ON

Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire power adapter or FireWire-based car charger.
Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
Try another USB port.
Try charging from a USB charger if available.
If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.

My Ipod will not charge and I cannot turn it on

My ipod will not charge was working fine yesterday. I have connected it to itunes it up dates the softwre but once it has finished the unit turns itsekf off and will not charge.

Plug it into the charger that came with the device and plug that into a known good wall outlet. If the battery is completely drained it may take an hour or more before the device shows some signs of life.

Why is my 4th generation ipod touch not charge? I plug it into the computer and the wall and with 2 different usb cables and its not charging. When its plugged in it shows the icon for charging but the battery never increases and it dies once i disconnect

I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
I have not idea what has happened ....
Please help
THanks!

- While charging try resetting 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.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.
