- 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.

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation
without iTunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen?
6 months after purchase I updated my iPod touch as recommend by iTunes.
It has not worked since that day. It frozen (disabled) with a "connect to
iTunes" icon displayed...that is the only thing it does. itunes does not
recognize the iPod. My Windows7 computer recognizes an Apple device.
Other computers recognize the devise but if iTunes resided on that
computer it did not recognize the iPod
I suffered a setback with deep depression and am just now getting out of it enough to do something. The depression prohibited me from taking action.
I have done every procedure recommended from Apple help and external
sources. I did this thoroughly with help for other owners and IT experts,
Apple employees etc etc. I and associates have perform reboots utilizing a
number procedure using only button on the iPod. These were unsuccessful
also have performed.
Please do not ask me to do the usual.
Online I saw a process using the buttons on the iPod to completely
reformat
the iPod. It was NOT the hold buttons for 10 sec let go of one wait 8 sec
etc. I can not find the process now...a friend showed it to me in passing
I have lost contact with him. This is the procedure, I believe, that with
enable me to update and use the iPod.You need an internet connection and likely a computer with iTunes but an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the FindMy iPhone App may work by:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Otherwise
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Yo may have to go to an Apple store or a friend's house with an internet connection and iTunes. -

If accidental damage like a cracked screen from dropping it, that is not covered by the warranty

TS1373 my ipod touch 4th generation has overheated and died Anyone any ideas.?
My iPod touch 4th generating has overheated and died Anyone any ideas?
Have you tried a soft-reset to see if it that fixes it ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot. If not then try restoring to your last backup (after, if you can, copying purchases over to your computer's iTuNes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and copying any important documents and/or photos off it)
If that doesn't fix it then you might be better off asking in the Using iPod forum on here, this forum is for questions about the iTunes store. -
Ipod touch 2nd generation completely black and won't charge
I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I had it connected to an aux cord, playing music, and on the charger and then it turned off. The ipod felt hot right by the charger port. The screen is completely black. I tried holding down the sleep and home buttons, charging the ipod for a very long time on my laptop in all the usb ports and in the outlet in the wall. The ipod just stays black. It doesn't say if it's charging and when I plug it into my laptop, it doesn't show up on itunes or my computer. Please help!!!

I dropped my ipod 4th generation in water, and I turned it on without knowing that it might never turn on again. I don't know what to do, pleae help me!!!
You could well be looking at a new iPod, but this will only cost you a couple of bucks, and a little time. Worth trying, but it maybe to late, (I just don't want to give you any false hope.) Turn your iPod off and leave it off, do not attempt to charge it or use until you dry your iPod out. Put it in a sealed bag of rice for at least 7 to 10 days. change the rice daily. If (and it's a "BIG" if) your lucky after drying the iPod it will start up when you turn on the power. You may need to charge it for at least 30 minutes to get some signs of life. If it does not turn on after charging attempt a reset, press and hold both the power and home buttons together for about 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, then release both buttons. If your iPod turns on, check that all is working. If you get it to work the first thing you should be is back up everything on your iPod to your computer, no guarantee it will continue to work. Water does bad things to electronic toys. If it doesn't work your only out a couple of bucks, then it's time for new toys. You may want to look at replacing with a refurbished iPod, about 1/2 of new. Good luck.

My iPod Touch 4th Generation keeps crashing and slowing down
I have an iPod touch 4g 8Gb. I've got it i think 2 years ago. Maybe even 3 I'm not sure. it is running IOS 6.1.6 . I never had problems with IOS 6 like other people said. It was perfectly fine. Until IOS7 came out.(I know it is not capable with iPod Touch 4) I restored it made sure background app refresh wasn't on and everything you can think of but it didn't seem to help. I have no clue about what the problem is. it has space in it. There are like 3 games Facebook and Skype only. I don't know how I could speed it up. I would highly appreciate it if anyone helped me with this problem. Thank you
I actually restored and set it up like a brand new iPod 3 months ago and never used it afterward. I feel like Apple made the iPods extremely slower after the IOS7 came out, because it wasn't that slow and crashing before IOS 7 was released. Anyway I assume that there are no solutions for my problem. Thanks.

I dropped my ipod touch and its shattered in the corner but there are multiple cracks along the whole screen everything works perfectly but I was wondering if the Apple Store in Brent Cross, London, would be willing to swap it or change it at no expense. Does anyone know about this store from experience or.....? It looks ugly now and I hate it please help and reply, for everyone living in North London going though the same problem or maybe will do in the future.
Thankyou that information was very helpful. And I was aware that the one year limited warranty does not cover accidental damage but it turned out that specific store did take back my iPod touch and covered the cost. Due to the fact my iPod wasn't even a year old. Although if it were to happen again I would have to pay about £130 to cover the cost. Apple Customer Service is amazing and they treat the customers really well.

It's a iPod 4th generation 32 gigs its cracked kinda bad on the screen but your still able to see it the back has a small dent on the back behind the case when it was taken it had skull candy titian headphones on it
The battery would either be dead by now or the iPod ha been restored. You are out of luck except for finding it the old fashioned way like if you has a wallet or purse stolen.

just says my ipod is over capacity when it's a 16gb ipod so it obviously isn't, can someone help!
How many songs depends upon the format of the some. Some are not compressed at al and they take up a lot of storage.
In the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes you can compress songs that are synced to the iPod. Check the box that says Convert higher bitrate songs to XX kpps ACC. An XX or 128 is a good compromise of quality and compression.
Also,
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.

IPod Touch 4th Generation SLOW YOUTUBE AND SLOW DOWNLOADS!
It's ridiculous. I have had issues with this since it came out of the box. I have tried resetting all the settings and changing the DNS settings. Please Help I've tried everything.
So smart boy how do you explain that my laptop plays youtube videos in HD flawlessly and when I go back to my iPod it lags?
Besides, a speed test on my iPod (being next to the wireless router) only gives me 1.1 MB download while my computer gives me 4. How do you explain that?
I am looking for some solutions on what to do since is obvious the problem is with the iPod itself.
Can you reply with a solution instead of an excuse?
Thanks in advance, I will appreciate it
