Try:

- 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 iPhone 3GS displayed a message that it was overheated, now it wont turn on except for the Apple logo, and iTunes doesn't recognize it!

My iPhone 3GS displayed a message saying it was over heating and to turn it off.

It had a message to re-connect to iTunes, then that the IMEI and SIM were unknown.
Now it wont turn on at all!!

Help! My iPod won't turn on and itunes doesn't recognize it.

When I try to turn on my ipod nothing happens, the screen just stays black. I tried connecting it to itunes so I could restore it but itunes won't recognize it.

I'm having the same problem. it's like my iPod had a sudden and massive heart attack!
It was in my cold car for quite a while, but that's never affected it B4. Any ideas?

80G ipod is frozen on 'Do not Disconnect' and itunes doesn't recognize it

I tried to sync my ipod, but the device became frozen and thinks it's still on hold. Can't restart device, and can't eject device because the device is not found in itunes or in my applications. Usually when i plug in the device with my USB, itunes opens and begins syncing automatically, but itunes doesn't even open now. I've already tried:
restarting computer (twice)
checking for and installing all updates (once)
restarting ipod (holding pause + menu for 10 seconds) (three times)
connecting and reconnecting device (a bunch of times)
My partner just took the frozen ipod to his office to connect to his macbook pro to see if anything happens there. Any advice?

I am in the same boat - trying to fix an ipod for a friend. I can see it on the desktop but iTunes wont see it. I read a post that said the 5th gens have hard drive issues. One way to find out, put it in the freezer for 30-60 minutes. Then iTunes finds it. Hard drive problem. {I do not support this advice, but only share what I found via a google search.}
First check out this link to try the reset again

HT1414 New computer and iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod's name

My new computer doesn't recognize my iPod in iTunes. How do I add a new device or rename my current iPod_Touch?

Why does my iPhone 4 not charge correctly? Problem is definitely with the phone and not charges or chords. Phone will charge but very slowly and no icon comes on. Computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it a being connected.

My iPhone 4 quit charging correctly. It does charge but very slowly and icon doesn't indicate it as charging. I've checked cables and charges and the problem is definetily with the phone. My car stereo no longer recognizes it as a device. Neither does the computer. The real strange thing to me is that when I plug it into my old klispch speaker dock it will play songs. My battery life is good when it is charged so I don't think its the battery. I've tried resetting the phone and cleaning the charging port. I'm out of warranty.
Would disconnecting the battery possibly reset it from some glitch or is the charging port got some bad contacts?

I checked with the Genius Bar. It was a new dilema to the lady that was helping me. She took it to a back room and worked on it but it came out the same. She gave me some options for repair or credit for replacement.
I just kept the phone and put up with slowly charging it by plugging it in and then turning it off.
I couldn't transfer anything from itunes.
I finally got fed up and bought a new charging port for $10. and a toolkit for $3. I looked up a video on youTube for the replacement and did it.
That solved all the problems, it was the charging port, must have been some bad pins or something because it patially worked.

My ipod stays at the apple logo whenever i try to turn it on and Itunes doesn't recognize it when i plug it in to the laptop. What do i do?
