- 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 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.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software. -
My Ipod touch is just showing a black screen, it still charges and the notifictions still go off because I can hear them. It wont turn onto the lock screen it just stays black. I tryed letting the battery run down and left it for like 24 hours but nothing changed
If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless... Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -

My iPod will no longer turn on after I fully charged it. HELP!
I knew I should have never trusted Apple with personal files. I put all of my pictures from my digital camera (1,800 of them) on the ipod for "safe" keeping. Now my ipod will no longer turn on. I fully charged the ipod until the "charged" icon appeared. Then I disconnected it. A couple hours later I tried to turn it on and it no longer turns on. I've had this iPod for about 6 months and I'm pretty sure it's not a dead battery. It's been very good with me. The hold switch is NOT activated. I went through all of the common sense troubleshooting steps. I tried to reset the ipod. I tried recharging it on AC power. I tried reconnecting it via USB on computer. I tried the updater, which doesn't work b/c ipod won't turn on. I've also tried hitting it...jk. I also have 10,330 songs on here. This is my life on my ipod. I can't afford to lose this info. 60GB gone. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

my iPod nano has stopped working. It is fully charged. I have tried to reboot and restore, and it still isn't working.
What do you mean it is not working? Does it power on? Is it recognized in iTunes? Need a bit more detail in order to assist you here.

Ipod turned off mid song - blank screen and wont restart
I have a 3rd generation ipod nano - used quite regularly but it has not sustained any known damages (not been in contact with water - not been dropped). I updated my ipod today - bought 9 songs and they synced in no problems. I was listening to the ipod in a doc for about an hour and then during one song the ipod suddenly cut out mid song and I cannot get it going again since.
The ipod has a fully blank screen - totally black.
I have gone through the steps via ipod - pressing inner circle and menue keys at same time. I have connected the ipod to the computer. I have re-started my computer - nothing...still blank black screen.
I tried contacting tech support via apple but it won't recognise my serial number! Its an authentic ipod - bought in an electronic shop.
The serial number is on both the origonal packaging and the ipod - but is not recognised by apple.
I am so upset - don't know where to go from here! I have years worth of music on this ipod which I am very worried about losing..and cannot really afford to dish out for a new nano right now.
Any suggestions for me?

Macbook Air (mid-2013) Black Screen Upon Opening Screen
Hi Everyone,
I have a mid-2013 Macbook Air (bought in August) that I updated to OS X 10.9 a few weeks ago. Recently I've been noticing that when I flip the screen up it'll work fine, but if I do so consecutively for two times (ie. opening it once, closing it, then opening it again), the screen goes black (sometimes a half-black that's still lit up, othertimes it's completely black as if it were off). This also happens when I put it in sleep mode by pressing the power button once. If I do it twice, the black screen appears as well. Nothing I press on the keyboard will cause the screen to come back on. The only thing I can do is to force it shut down and then reboot. I reset the SMC and PRAM and neither has helped. Apple told me that I need to take it into a store but I have several essays due in the next week and finals after that. I can't be without a laptop so I can't send it in for repair until at least mid-December. I'm hoping it's not a hardware issue (since other people have posted about this as well) and it'll be solved by an update. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!1. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

I have a new 32 gb ipod 4 that has a blcak screen. It wont respond to a hard reset, nor does it acknowledge that it is being charged. It was not dropped or damaged in any way. We are out of the country. Help
First, let's make sure that what you call a "hard reset" is a true system Reset...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -
My iPod touch has 'freezed up'. It has displayed a black screen, which appears to be reloading. I've tried to turn it off, I have also charged it; connected it to my MacBook and 'Restored' it. However, nothing has worked. It still appears to be reloading. It is going on 20 hours since the problem started. I have a 32GB iPod touch 3rd Generation.
Have you tried resetting the iPod?
Try this:
Press the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time.
Hold until the Apple Logo appears. -
Pls Advise Why my iPod Touch's Albums: Tiny black screens, not pictures
Hello,
I've got a 16GB iPod Touch, 1st generation with 2.1 Software Update. I manage the music manually on a Windows XP desktop. I love this device and have been loving it since i got it as a Valentine's gift early this year.
I'd customized some of the album art images with jpgs found online, saved to hard drive. this was especially useful for those albums (homemade) that didn't have cover art associated with on iTunes/Gracenotes or wherever apple goes to find cover art.
The problem now is that in the Music Folder, when I browse Albums on the Vertical (not Cover Flow) view, some images are 1) misplaced i.e. Snoop Dogg's picture where Chaka Khan's should be or 2) images are replaced with a tiny black screen. (this isn't the negative black screen I've been reading about) There seems to be some error in how the Album View Vertical is working. When I flip through the images in Cover Flow (Horizontal) every thing is fine; even the tiny black screens of the Vertical mode show their true picture in horizontal Cover Flow. i'm wondering about the tiny black screen, since I usually get a musical note image if there is no art, not a black screen.
So here are my questions:
1) Why am I getting tiny black screens instead of album art images in the Albums preview screens?
2) Could this be related to some general sluggish responses to the screen at times?
3) I have two total pages of applications that work fine (if sluggish--the NYTimes is a big culprit in the sluggishness department-even blanking out the iPod, but even sweet Wurdle can act up), would this be related?
4) Is there a way to fix this tiny black screens issue without having to wipe the whole iPod clean (sniff! fingers crossed!)
Thanks!I had the exact same issue and just spent a good chunk of time fixing things. I made note of each bad album - covers were OK in Cover Flow and when song was playing but vertical scroll and tiny thumbnail in the corner of the tracks window showed only a black thumbnail - then deleted these albums from my iPod. Then I went back and re-added these albums to my iPod but added them ONE AT A TIME by showing the artwork column in my library and dragging them over by the artwork and waiting for each album to finish and finish syncing before dragging the next one over. This seems to have brought back the tiny thumbnails and fixed the problem for now. I have no idea why it did this but I think there's an artwork bug in iTunes that needs to be fixed in the next update as many others have said that dragging over too many albums at once seems to cause issues with artwork showing up in general.
I know it sounds like a pain to drag over one album at a time and wait for it to finish but it seems to be the only way to do things for now. Hope this helps. -
4g Ipod touch is stuck on black screen with apple logo, please help!
i have a 4G ipod touch, while downloading an app it froze and i restarted it using the home and sleep buttons. now its stuck on a black screen with the apple logo. Ive tried to restart it again, plug it into the computer and do what all the forums say but none have worked. When i plug the ipod into the computer and restart it, itll stay on the black screen for 5-10 minutes then flash to a white screen and restart itself all over again, any ideas how to fix this problem? thanks
Well it depends if you restore from a backup or not (if you have any). Try restoring from a backup first. If the problem still continues, then you'll need to set it up as a new iPod, meaning you would lose the content stored on your iPod including, music, videos, apps, app data, etc.
See this article for what is included in a backup.

And see this article for assistance on restoring your iPod from a backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Either content, such as your music, movies, apps, etc should still be in your iTunes library as well. So you should be able to sync it back over to the iPod once you have restored it.
