You can try the troubleshooting here.  If that does not work I suggest an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store since you may have a hardwar problem like a dead battery.

  • My iPod Touch 4G cannot be turned on and is not recognized.

    Okay, so, this is a long story, but I registered on this forum just to share it with someone, see if anyone had a similar problem.
    A month or two ago, the home button on my iPod Touch 4G broke. Okay. So I started using that assistive touch feature. The one with the home button on the screen. Well, that's the background of this story. Let's get into the real meat.
    This morning, there I am, waiting to get into class, watching a documentary on my iPod Touch. I grab my two-year old charging cable, plug it up on the PC I always use in class and move it around- it's so old, it needs to be at that right spot to charge up. Well, it starts charging, but once I unplug it and plug it again... something weird happens. With the PC. It gives me a "USB Device not recognized" error.
    I thought the cable had finally gone pfft. Not a problem, I had a newer, better one back home. So I go back to watching my documentary- the device is working fine- and when it comes time to class, I press the lock button and put it back on my backpack. Fast forward five-six hours. Lunch time. I pull out my iPod Touch, press the lock button and... nothing.
    Black screen. Nothing happens. No sound, no video. Okay, weird. I press the lock button again and again, and still, nothing happens. Maybe I need to turn it on? I hold onto the lock button, but it doesn't turn on or off. Maybe it needs to charge? I borrow a friend's cable, plug it up to a wall charger- the one from Apple- and... nothing happens. I take that cable, plug it up to a PC, and nothing happens. Except for the "USB Device not Recognized" error.
    So that's where I am. I can't go to DFU mode cause my home button's borked up. Charging, pressing the lock button, reinstalling iTunes, nothing works. It just sits there. But I know it's not bricked up, because when I plug it up, it gives me that "USB Device not recognized" error.
    I'm probably taking it to technical assistance tomorrow, but I'd at least like to hear if anyone had the same problem. All my stuff's there: my Things app with my homework stuff, my TV Show Tracker app, and while I did back app data to the iCloud, I'm not sure I can just put that data on my brother's iPod Touch. Help?

    First try the following since it appears y have a computer problem:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • My iPod touch is stuck on apple logo and isn't recognized by iTunes

    My iPod touch gets stuck on the apple logo and won't let me get to the home screen. I tried plugging it into iTunes but It was not recognized. When I hold the power button down it tells me to charge it. When I do it gets stuck on the apple logo again. Please help!

    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 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.

  • Whenever I connect my iPod touch 5th generation to the charger and turn it on, my touch sensor seems to stop working so I cant unlock my iPod without having to take out the charger. Whats wrong with it?

    I got this iPod about 3 weeks ago. Whenever I connect my iPod to the charger the touch sensor seems to stop working. When my alarm goes off in the mornings i have to unplug the charger to stop the alarm. I cant do anything while the charger is connected. Any ideas what the problem is or how I can stop this happening?

    A few other users have report the same but I have not heard of a solution. Y can try:
    - Another cable
    - Another USB port
    - A wall charger
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                     
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My iPod Touch (newest generation) won't sync and is not being recognized by my computer OR iTunes. It WILL charge through the wall charger. It is now stuck on a screen directing me to connect to iTunes. What can I do?

    I have restarted, reset, erased all data and network settings, tried different ports and different cords, restarted computers, reinstalled and updated iTunes... and now I cannot use my iPod at all. It is less than 6 months old, Apple won't help me on the phone unless I pay, and the nearest apple store is 2 hours away.

  • I have an Ipod touch 1st generation which for some reason will not sync to my itunes account because of an 'error', though the error it speaks of is unknown.I have restored the ipod to original factory settings and it still will not sync.What should I do?

    My title question pretty much explains it all but here are a few more details. I have tried almost everything I could think of before restoring my Ipod. I switched cords, turned it off before I plugged it in, I turned it on before I plugged it in, I manually tried to sync it, I turned of the computer and restarted, and after all that I finally restored it . But before all of this I was having other problums with it as well. It will freeze up when I use certain apps and also has a tendency to switch album covers, though now theres no album covers left on the ipod, the my itunes library is still fully intact... What should I do?

    Sorry for  the typos, I hope my message still gets across!

  • IPod 5th gen 30gig won't charge and isn't recognized by iTunes

    I recently replaced the battery in my iPod 5th gen because I thought that was the problem.  This fixed things temporaly and my iPod turned on for this first time in a long time.  However, now it won't charge or hook up to the computer.  I think this may have been the problem all along. 
    The charging port seems to be in good condition and pretty clean.  I have tried resetting it and resetting it while connected to itunes.  I also disconnected and reconnected the new battery.  I left it plugged in for sometime but it hasn't charged.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I really have no idea what the problem is at this point.
    Thanks

    I suspect that you have a completely dead battery.
    i got this ipod about a year ago
    If you mean 11 months, a battery replacement is under warranty but $30 shipping and handling. If you mean 13 months, a battery replacement is $59 + $7 shipping.

  • Cannot connect to ITUNES store on IPOD touch 1st generation?

    I have an Apple IPOD Touch, 1st generation. I can no longer connect to the ITUNES store. IPOD is almost 4 years old. I've re-set the network settings, (not the actual IPOD itself, would prefer not to do that). I do have internet and all else works fine. IPOD is in great condition and has always been well taken care of. Any helpful hints? IPOD is out of warranty.

    Try:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Go to Settings>wifi and change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8

  • My iPod touch 1st Generation won't turn, charge or appear on my computer

    I have an ipod touch 1st generation that I got about 4 years ago. I don't use it that often because I now have an iPhone but when I went to use it, I found it was dead. It won't charge, turn on or appear on my computer or itunes. I've tried recovery and DFU mode but neither work, since it won't turn on at all. I've tried charging it for almost a whole day but it won't even show me a red battery charging icon. I've tried holding the home and power buttons for several minutes while its plugged in but still nothing. My cord is fine and works with other ipod and i have the newest version of itunes.I have a windows 7 computer. I don't live near enough to an apple store to take it in for them to look at and it's no longer under warrenty and it costs $20 for a one time support session online!! Is there anything i can to fix it without spending too much money or should i just accept its dead and not recovering?

    Try the remaining iTunes of the following. I think you covered all but the last.:
    - 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.
