My ipod nano just won't turn on. Please help!!!

Ok. So yesterday I was listening to my ipod and everything and I realized it was running out of battery. So, before I went to work I placed it on the charger as usual. Now this morning I get up and decide I'm going to listen to it again and the screen is black and won't turn on. I even hooked it up to my computer and itunes won't recognize it. I placed it back on the charger and nothing. And, I even tried holding the menu button and the center button at the same time. (because that usually works, but, only when the screen showed the apple icon) And nothing has changed. Please please help me! I really hope it's not dead for good. It is older but there are songs on there i don't think i can replace again. Please help!

Was this a wall charger? I was told by an employee not to use a car charger to try and charge my 7th gen Nano. Also, I plugged it into my work computer and it worked for 30 seconds and then went black. For some reason this kills the battery dead. Computer wouldn't recognize it and it would not turn on UNTIL I took it to the Apple store and they plugged it up, then it worked. If you can head to the Genius bar and get a quick once over. These 7th gens are very finicky!

IPod touch 4g won't turn on, please help me

It all started when I powered down my ipod, as in holding down the power button and sliding the red bar. After I did that, my ipod touch refuses to make any noise or sign that it is still working. I tried holding down the home button and power button for up to a minute. Nothing. And I also plugged it into my computer to find that it wasn't recognizable by itunes. I feel that I've tried everything for this, and I really don't want my ipod to be done for. I don't care if I lose all my data, I just can't live without this device :(

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.

My iPod Touch won't turn on, PLEASE HELP ME!

Well, my iPod Touch 2G won't turn on, after I tried restoring the firmware, iTunes automatically closed during the restore.
After that, my iPod doesn't turn on, doesn't go into DFU mode, not in recovery mode. What do I do?
Sorry for the poor English.

Try the basic troubleshooting steps.
Also, try downloading RecBoot and see if that will kick it back in recovery mode,

My iPod Nano just won't work anymore. Please help if possible.

I have had my iPod Nano for under a year, and this past month it has been going crazy on me like for a week I was unable to turn it off. However, it all of sudden worked fine but two weeks later while I was listening to it, it just turned off on me. Now I cannot open it and I have tried charging it but nothing shows up and it just will not turn on. It is like my iPod has died. Has anyone else gone through this? Thanks for the help.

Try these.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
My iPod won't wake up.
iPod touch-wheel is unresponsive after waking from sleep.
When restoring the iPod, it's recommended to put it into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
If none of the above help, then it's probably a service issue.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

New ipod nano(5gen) won't turn on

So I got my new iPod Nano(5th generation) a few days ago. I put it in the computer to charge, it synced all the music to it, I eject it from the computer and the screen flares up with all the music and everything, but the moment I disconnect it from the usb cable to the computer the iPod goes off and I can't turn it back on. I tried the hold/center+menu thing, it doesn't work. I left the battery to charge, it still won't turn on. I am not sure what else I can do, it simply won't turn on unless it's connected to the computer.

I disconnect it from the usb cable to the computer the iPod goes off and I can't turn it back on
Did you eject the iPod first before disconnecting?
Hold button on or off?
Read the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual and if the solution cannot be found there, call iPod Nano tech support.

IPod nano 4GB won't turn on

I bought a 4GB ipod nano for my girlfriend three weeks ago. The 060628 update was applied directly.
After working fine for two weeks, now suddenly the only way to get it to wake from sleep is to perform a reset.
Apart from this it seems to work normally: after "turning it on" (hold on/hold off, menu+select) all buttons work ok, it plays music, synchs with itunes etc. But after turning it off it becomes unresponsive to anything but the reset sequence.
Tried the five Rs, restoring using the 2006-06, 03 and 01 updaters, and draining the battery completely.
The guy at apple support said he'd not heard of anything like this before. It's going in for warranty service, but has anyone else encountered this problem?

I am having the same issue with my Ipod Nano. I downloaded some new music last Thurs. Every time I tried to turn it on the following day, I had to reset it. The last time I used it was Friday night with an ITrip. I had to reset it for the Ipod to turn on, but once on it worked fine.
I didn't drain the entire battery out of it that night and haven't been able to turn it on since. I have tried everything but restoring the Ipod. When I try to reset it, nothing. When I try updating the software, nothing. When I plug it in to my computer, nothing. I took my USB cord to work thinking it was my computer and plugged it in, nothing. I have had it sitting in a Bose docking station, still nothing. What the **** is wrong with this thing? I can't restore it if I can't get it to turn on. PLEASE HELP!!
PS- I have read through the forum and have tried the things people have suggested thus far. No luck with anything.

okay i got this ipod nano off one of my friends. I plugged it into my own computer and the apple logo came onto the screen, then after a few seconds the main menu screen came on, but while doing this i accidently knocked the cord connecting my ipod to the computer, then my ipods screen went black and said "please eject before disonnecting " but as it slightly came out it was "disconnected" so i tried putting it back it but the ipod wouldnt turn on, only a blank black screen. I have tried all the steps from apple but none of them are working, please tell me whats wrong with the ipod and how i can fix it !!! i really need this ipod !!

Hey WarriorFelip,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPod wont turn on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

First, your iPod may need to fully charge which can take a couple hours. You may benefit from downloading the 2nd gen nano manual if you haven't already. If after allowing it to charge for a bit longer and still no life (try this with the iPod ejected from the computer to see if it will power on) then there may be another problem.

IPod Nano 4GB won't connect!! help please!

ok so here's my problem::
i lost my original USB 2.0 charger cord and i got a new one yesterday. same thing..
only thing is, my iPod won't charge now. first, i plugged it into the laptop, and it said i needed to download iTunes. i did that & still didn't work. then, i tried charging it on the original computer i used to install my iPod when i got it. it still wont work. i tried the directions in the book the iPod Nano came with, and that didn't work..
!!HELP!!

The fifth generation iPods do not support synchronization through FireWire because they don't have the hardware component to include this. The component was dropped in part because syncing your entire iTunes library normally only needs to be done once unless the iPod is restored, and it will take longer for the iPod to fully charge than it will take to complete the synchronization through USB, and partially to make the iPod slightly smaller and save money. The time difference needed for subsequent synchronizations isn't nearly as noticeable.

Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk

Can't connect iPod nano since latest iTunes update. Please help :(

Ever since I downloaded the latest versions of iTunes, my 5th gen iPod nano won't connect. I get a pop-up that says, "Could not install hardware" or something to that affect. I switched cables and usb ports, and no change. What should I do?
I was thinking I want to go back to a previous iTunes version, but I have no idea if you can uninstall a version. I've only ever seen tips on uninstalling the whole thing and reinstalling the same one.
The best "solution" I've gotten was to buy a new iPod, that I was out of luck and the new iTunes versions obviously don't support older iPods, but I don't think that's right. If it is, Apple has lost a customer forever.
If anyone has any tips, I would really appreciate your help.

About one out of every 5 times now my Iphone will sync, the other times it will give one of several errors(see thread above) or it will just stay on the syncing deal forever.
I have not put ANY third party apps on or done anything. Hey Apple, instead of continually putting out updates to turn peoples unlocked phones into bricks, how about addresses some of these syncing issues??
thanks!!
