Not Charge
- See:    
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. I suspect this is your problem

    My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all,
    i upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and after that my ipod started having trouble charging, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning cable chargers and my ipod still would'nt charge, so it died. now the only thing my ipod does is when i try to turn it on it shows the apple logo and then the screen goes off and does it again for a few times and then the screen stays off and my ipod gets really hot but wont turn on for the rest of the day help!!

    The hotness indicate a hardware problem.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music

    My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.

    I have same issue with iPad3.  all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes.  maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
    mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn.  I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
    I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
    I have restarted.
    I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back!  iCloud restore was perfect.  I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
    please advise.
    thanks,
    phil

  • IPod touch 4th Generation not charging.

    I have had my iPod touch 4th Generation for 3 weeks, after having to buy a new one because i was refused by anyone to have my old iPod 4th Generation fixed as its screen wouldn't work
    Anyway, last night my iPod was charging fine when i went to sleep, but after i went to sleep it had obviously stopped charging during the night as it had red battery
    I have tried charging it in the computer, docking station and a plug in the wall but neither of them work, i have even tried changing the USB cable and nothing will work
    Any ideas of how to fix this? I've seen many complaints on here about it but no one knows how its happened to their iPod because it just happens
    My iPod is now completely off because it wont charge and the battery is dead so i cant get onto my iPod to do anything
    Help please?

    See the not charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Also look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bend or corroded contacts, foreign material and crack or broken plastic.

  • New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!

    Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!
    - Sam Amos

    No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation wont turn on

    Ok my Ipod 4th generation wont turn on at all ive tried holding the buttons connecting it to Itunes (which by the way says nothings connected) and nothing is happening at all. My battery was halfway charged and after I put my ipod to sleep it wouldnt turn on anymore. Can anybody help me please?

    Try putting it in DFU mode. Here is how to put it in dfu mode:
    1. First, Open up iTunes, plug in your iPod Touch/iPhone to the CPU's USB port. Turn on your CPU's speaker and make sure it is loud enough that you can hear it.
    2. Hold down the Home button (top left for iPod Touch and top right for the iPhone with the screen facing you) and the Power button (located on the front bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone) simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off. (past the red slider/slide to power off screen)
    3. Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
    4. After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device, now iTunes should recognize it in DFU mode.
    5. After iTunes recognizes the iPod Touch/iPhone, let go of the Home button otherwise it will go into recovery mode and you will have to do the entire DFU process over again.
    6. You will know when you have put your iPod Touch/iPhone correctly into DFU mode when the display is blank and that you do not have anything on your device.
    And you are done, now you can install any iPod Touch/iPhone firmware on to your device via the iTunes SHIFT recovery method.

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation wont sync with iTunes on Windows 7

    Ok. I am going to make this quick. I just bought a new ipod off amazon from Apple. its a 35Gb 4th Generation ipod touch. I am able to sync my itunes library sometimes. Only SOMETIMES. I have about 1200 song on it now. But evertime i plug my ipod into my PC. iTunes comes up, but freezes up. itunes works fine when the ipod is not connected, but when it is, it freezes up. I can leave it for about 5 minuets and it will unfreeze and i will be able to use itnes, but itunes wont show my ipod is connected. AT ALL. I did the diagnostic, but that freezes up to. Only sometimes will it sync. I updated to the latest version. I think this is either a issue with itunes or the ipod. because my brother has the new nano, and his syncs perfectly fine everytime. Only on my account on windows 7 with MY $300.00 ipod touch will it not work. Anyone help me out here.
    This is what i have done so far:
    Reset ipod via sleep wake and home key while connected < no fix
    Ended any process in the background of windows, that may affect itunes < No fix
    updated to latest itunes version and ipod version < No fix
    That's all i could think of. This evidently is sync issue.
    ANY HELP?

  • My ipod touch 4th generation wont restore or turn on, how do i fix it?

    I was using my ipod as usual, nothing seemed wrong with it and it died because it needed a charge.
    so i put it on the charger and when i went back to grab it for use it wouldnt turn on and my itunes was telling me i needed to download the newer itunes and also restore my ipod. Im a little upset about having to restore it, but what other choice do i have? but the worse part is it wont let me restore it.
    its telling me there was a problem restoring it and it said the problem number is 1601 i think. i dont know what that means so i dont know how to fix it so if anyone else knows please let me know. its the only way i have to contact my friends and family. im losing everything off my ipod including pictures from when my daughter was born and also the  video from a very good friends wedding. so please let me know what i can do to fix this error.
