My iPod suddenly stopped reacting to my charge and the battery icon doesn't come up but it still charges and now it won't connect to my iTunes on my computer, help?!

I brought an iPod off eBay, second hand a few weeks ago. The first week I had it everything was working fine. Then suddenly when I plugged it in to charge the battery logo didn't appear, so I left it overnight and it still charged but there was still no logo. And now when I plug it in to connect to my iTunes on my computer, it isn't showing up on the left hand side where it should. I have tried restoring the iPod twice and using different cables and no change was made, what should I do?

iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

I know it's a little late but I recently updated my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 and now it won't play my music. It will play spotify and YouTube music but not my music. Everything else works fine but when I go to play a song it just skips to the next. Why

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. Where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. My pc didn't create a backup before updating software so I can't revert back to ios 4.3.5 from there, where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

I tried just about everything and finally brought my Ipod touch to the apple store. The tech installed ios 4.3.5 but still no WIFI. He recommended a $149 exchange - not really a bad deal with a new battery and 90 day warranty, but I thought I'd try again.
The "solution" was bizarre. On YouTube was a fix involving taking the motherboard out and heating the wifi components with a heat gun.
I did not like that idea, but another involved turning it off, putting it in the freezer for five minutes and restarting. It worked! I must admit the fix does not work reliably, so I may still go for the exchange. Still, I am now convinced that it is a hardware problem. i remember back in the old days, TV repairmen sprayed a suspected bad resistor with Freon. The chilled component would work long enough to identify what needed replacement. Perhaps something similar is happening here.
For anyone wanting to try this, I found it more convenient to place the back of my ipod on a frozen cold pack until the wifi is restored. It seems to happen when condensation forms on the face. I used a towel to wipe off the moisture so as not to add to the problem.

HT1212 how do you unlock your ipod..we have tried different passcodes and now is is saying to plug into itunes...guy at the apple store said to plug into itunes too...we have done this and still nothing....thanks still wont unlock..

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod displaying a monochrome non-animated version of the battery icon...

I think my ipod's battery is depleted and when i connect it to the USB port in my computer, it shows a monochrome non-animated version of the battery icon...the troubleshooter says that the ipod will turn on in abt 30 minutes...however i have waited for abt 3 hours and still the battery icon is there...and also after sumtime the apple logo appears on the screen for and then the ipod switches off...the logo appears for abt 5 times before displayin the monochrome non-animated version of the battery icon again...and it keeps repeating and the ipod wont turn on...can any 1 pls help?

I encountered this problem several times, too. The b/w logo appears because the battery is deeply discharged. In my cause, it is replaced by the normal screen after some minutes (after the battery was charged a bit).
Did you connect your iPod to "high-powered" USB?

I reset my iPod completely, and now it won't connect to computer. What happened?

Just what the title states. My iPod was messing up so I reset it, and now it will not connect to a computer. I have tried other iPods on my computer and they all connect fine. Why is my iPod the only one doing this?
Oh and by the way, the only screen that comes up is the "Connect to iTunes Screen" meaning I cannot get on it at all.

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if iTunes will see the iPod. For recovery mode see:

My iPod got shampood and now it won't connect to my Mac. Ideas?

The big problem is that ever since the shampoo, the iPod won't recognize the connector cable. It keeps asking for USB cable even though that's what it has. the iPod still plays perfectly and will charge when connected to the computer, it just won't connect the music... HELP!!

Do a search for iPod repair companies. Some of them will give you a quote on what it will cost to repair your ipod. This would probably be cheaper than Apple repairing it.

I got a brand new ipod touch 5th. i backed it up and now it won't turn on. Why? what's going on?

I bought a 5th generation iPod touch. everything was working fine. until I tried to back up my music from iTunes. it said it would restart after "backing up" and it didn't. this is the second iPod this has happened to. I left the last one on the charger and plugged in for a whole night and half a day. and it still wouldn't turn on. So I returned it thinking there was something wrong with it internally since I got it at Wal-Mart . now it's happening again and this time I just went to the apple store to since it was the most reliable place to get an iPod but it's still happening . how long am I suppose to wait? or am I doing something wrong? All the iPod information is showing up on iTunes. and it's all up to date.
what's going on?

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
