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.

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

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- 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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

- 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.

My ipod touch fifth generation wont turn on after the battery died and my home button is broken

i fell asleep with my ipod touch fifth generation on and when i woke up the battery had died but i tried turning it on and connecting it to the computer but nothings working

Hi stephkayy223,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod touch battery has been completely consumed, you may need to connect it to power for several minutes before you will see the charging screen:
If you see this screen, it means your battery is really low. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes before using it. After that, you can use your device while it continues to charge.
If your device has turned off, you might see a black screen for a few minutes even after you plug it in. Let it charge until it turns on, or until it's fully charged.
From:
Charge your iPhone and iPod touch
If your iPod touch still does not seem to be charging, the steps in this article can help troubleshoot the device:
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

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.

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?

I would try these:
