My iPod touch 4th generation isn't turing on

My iPod Touch 4th generation isn't turing on, and when I plug it into the computer it still isn't turing on. iTunes dosen't even recognize it and I have the latest iTunes for it!! My iPOd hasn't had any damage done to it, it just won't work!!! PLEASE HELP ME FIX MY iPOD!!!!

First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next try placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if iTunes will see the iPod so ou can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode,see:

  • My iPod touch (4th generation) isn't responding to anything I do.

    My iPod touch (4th generation) isn't responding to anything I do. It's been like this since 2pm this afternoon (5 hours). On the screen, there is the Apple logo and nothing else. When I connected my iPod to the computer, iTunes didn't recognize it and my iPod didn't change at all. What should I do?

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port just in case
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Also my home button isn't working. Hope that was specfic enough.. thanks!!

  • I cannot download Adobe Reader app using my IPod Touch 4th Generation due to iOS upgrade.

    I have an IPod Touch 4th Generation (the older model) and the highest operating system stops at iOS 6.1.6. Unfortunately, when I tried to download Adobe Reader app, it only works for the newer IPod Touch 5th Generation with an operating system of iOS 7.0 or higher. My question is that since I cannot download Adobe Reader app, is there a way for me to open PDF files on my IPod Touch by using Safari? There is no way I can find an Adobe Reader app that works for my operating system or an operating system that works for iOS 6.0 or lower. Is there another program similar to Adobe Reader where I can open PDF files that works for iOS 6.0 or lower?
    Thanks.

    Krispy2010,
    Please note that my instructions are intended for Adobe Reader for iOS, not for all iOS apps in general.
    Adobe Reader for iOS does offer earlier compatible versions for iOS 5 and 6 via the App Store.  Because the supported iOS version for Adobe Reader for iOS is 5 or later.
    Tech specs | Adobe Reader mobile app
    However, I cannot speak for other apps, such as Costco app and NFL app that you have mentioned.  It is up to each individual app developer/company to decide whether to take advantage of Apple's App Store's features to offer earlier versions.
    Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
    If a compatible version isn't available, you can try contacting the app developer. Look for contact information on the app's product page in the App Store or Mac App Store.

  • My iPod touch 4th generation turns off by itself. How can I fix this?

    My iPod Touch 4th generation turns off my itself. How can I fix this? This is not the first time this has happened. I usually hold down the home button and the power button at the same time for a few seconds and it'll turn back on but this time that won't work. What should I do?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore from Backup..  Restore as New...
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • Will siri be available for the iPod touch 4th Generation?

    I have an 32gb iPod touch 4th Generation. My Aunt owns an iPhone 4s with siri. I would enjoy having siri on my itouch and I heard that you can get it if you jailbreak your ipod. Is this true? And finally, will siri be available for the iPod touch?

    If I am correct, I read it on Apples website. I believe this is the article of which we are talking about. Now that I pick through it more, I understand that when it comes to Siri, the iPod touch isn't even mentioned.
    Thank you for your help!
    With iOS 6, Siri understands more languages, works in more countries, and is available on the new iPad.2 So you can get more things done in more places around the world. Want to know the latest scores and stats for your favorite teams and players? Thanks to iOS 6, Siri knows the answers. Or maybe it’s movie night. Siri can show you the latest reviews and showtimes. Find the best restaurants in town and make reservations. Even open your apps for you — no tapping required. Say "Launch Flight Tracker" or "Open Angry Birds" and Siri does just that. You can even use Siri to post Facebook updates and tweet for you, too.

  • My computer won't let me sync my iPod touch 4th generation

    My computer isn't/won't let me sync my iPod touch 4th generation. I'm trying to upload photos from my computer (laptop, HP/Windows 7).
    iTunes keeps asking me to authorize my computer, it will authorize it, but it will ask the same question and for my Apple information again.
    It will let me get to step 3/5 of the syncing process but if I hit the X and close out, it will terminate/end the process. I've only synced this one
    computer. Any advice?
    -InnocentD3mon

    It doesn't freeze, it just asks for my Apple ID and password. It'll repeatedly pop up and ask, even if my computer is already synced. When I close out of the login/sync request it terminates the syncing process.
    When it's listed at the 3/5 in the syncing process, it says "Transferring Purchases from 'xxxx's iPod touch' (Step 3 of 5)"

  • Ipod touch 4th generation 8gb question

    Hi guys. I just wanted to ask whether the 8gb ipod touch 4th generation is actually a 4th generation ipod. because i know that the 3rd generation 8gb isn't actually a 3g itouch but a 2g one. I wondered if the same 'catch' applied to the 4th gen 8gb? also does the 8gb 4th gen lack certain capabilities compared to the 32gb and 64gb 4th gen versions? (basically anything apart from less space).
    thanks in advance.

    Your 4th gen is fine. The confusion only exist between the 2nd and 3rd generation units.

  • How to fix an ipod touch 4th generation that will not turn on or charge

    My ipod touch 4th generation randomly turned off and will not turn back on or charge.  I have tried restarting it, resetting it, and letting it "charge" for weeks but nothing has worked.  It is not registered by itunes when plugged into the computer either and there hasn't been anything dramatically done to it.  I also cannot do anything to update its software since it isn't being recognized by itunes or turning on.
    Thanks in advance to whoever has helpful information!

  • How do I use my iPod Touch 4th Generation with air play with my Apple TV?

    Can someone please help me.  I need to find out if my iPod Touch 4th Generation can be used for Air Play with my Apple TV.  When I go to photos I can use Air Play to display them.  But I cannot use airplay for my apps like Facebook, and My games like The Sims.   I am using iOS 6.0.1.  Is that the issue if so, When you be updating the 4th Gen. Touch to be able to use it with the 6.0.2 version.  I beleive Apple can do better with this.  I just purchased my Apple TV yesterday, and I don't want to have to take it back already, because it doesn't work with my iPod 4th Gen.

    Do the games and apps show the AIrPlay option? No all do.
    The second article in my previous reply included:
    From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
    With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality
