My Ipod nano will not turn on

Yesterday mt Ipod nano was working, today it has no power, will not charge and even when plugged into my computer, Itunes does not acknowledge it. I think it must kaput. It is only 3 months old, it wasn't dropped or anything. Any suggestion?

i am having the same issue have tried holding down the power button to reset but it isn't even bringing up the loading circle let alone the apple logo, the last time i used my ipod it was fully charged as well. this is frustrating as i got this for a christmas present due to my last one wouldn't hold it's charge it would fully charge then last 5 mins and die. (it is 2 years old though). my computer doesn't read the nano 7th gen and tells me that is an unknown device and to reset it and if this doesn't work to replace it.

Ipod Nano will not turn off

My ipod nano will not power off. Even the sleep button does not work. I have reset everal times. Any thoughts?

I've been through 4 of those R's, as well as the Quick Fix and about 5 hours on the phone with Apple. It will now turn off, but it is still not visible to iTunes and the iPod updater won't run because it also can't see the iPod. Windows sees it just fine, so now I'm awaiting a 3-5 day response from an Apple engineer about what is wrong. This all started when I installed the 6.0 update. I'm now back to the older software, but it still won't reconize my iPod, so therefore will not update it with new songs, etc.
Thanks for your reply.

If your iPod is still under warranty, you might want to take the iPod to an Apple Store, or send it in for service:

My iPod nano will not turn on no matter what I do.

I tried holding the play button to turn it on. I tried charging it for a couple of hours. I tried resetting it. I tried plugging it into my computer. None of this made it turn on or even make a flicker of light. What should i do?

The iPod will need to be serviced, to determine the exact fault and repair it (if possible). You can get the current 7th gen iPod nano as an Apple-certified refurb for $99 (with a one-year warranty)

so the cost to repair your nano may not be economical. If you are the good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

Be sure to rule out the other possibilities. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there (along with your docking cable).

My iPod Nano will not turn on. The screen is always dark.

For no apparent reason, my 4th Generation Nano stopped working. The screen is dark and when I attempt to plug it in to my computer, iTunes does not 'see' it. It will not take a charge if I plug it directly into the wall. Is there a way to reset it or am I missing something other than bringing it to an Apple store?

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.
- 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 7th generation iPod nano will not turn on or be recognized by my computer.

I have plugged it into my computer. Nothing. Blank. Computer says it can't read the USB.
I update the version of iTunes. Nothing. Blank.
I hold the power button. Guess what? Nothing. Blank.
I've only had this iPod for a couple weeks, and I have not had any problems before.

If this is the case, I suggest you return the unit and ask for a replacement. Cheers!

IPod nano will not turn on, charge, reset, anything

I charged my ipod for 2 or 3 days, because I forgot about it. Then when I got it off the charger it would not do anything. I also noticed that I had left my earbuds in the headphone jack during that time as well. Did this ruin my ipod? I've tried resetting it several times, charging it up and then resetting it and nothing happens! Is my ipod done or is there something else I can try?

It very well sounds like the iPod's is completely shot, no longer able to build or retain any sort of charge. Might be a good time to start saving for a new one.
As for the paid music, you should be able to download most of it again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for more information and assistance.

Ipod touch will not turn on unless plugged in

My Ipod touch will not turn on, Ive plugged it in and it comes on it has a charge but as soon as I unplug it it goes black ... I have tried to restart it but there is just a black screen

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function.

My Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function. When it does, once in a blue moon, after 5 minutes it freezes. I am wondering if its becuase battery was left dead for 2 weeks or problems with the iOS. Resetting does not help.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Try a Reset
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 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the iPod On...
If that does not help... See Here:

My ipod touch will not turn on, I have followed the apple fault finding and it will not reset either. Any other ideas?

Ipod touch will not turn on and is not reading in the usb port

ipod touch will not turn on or connect to my computer

I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

My ipod touch will not turn on, i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it wont charge. and plus its battery was already full. why wont it turn on??

So one day is was laying next to my ipod touch and i tried to turn it on but it wouldnt. so then i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it didnt charge, the computer didnt pick up the divice. so now my ipod touch will not turn on, and i have no idea why. PLEASE HELP.

mine did the same thing. What I did was hold the home and power button down for 10 seconds but that did not work. I figured out that I just had to hold them down for a long time like 15 to 45 seconds. Then it finally turned on. You may have to do it a couple of time. But if this does not work send it in to the apple company they fixed mine completly free they even sent me a box to send it in. I hope my answer helps you fix it.
