My iPod Touch 5 (32GB) won't turn on

My iPod is a little over two years old, just in October, the home button stopped working. I got touch button assistance and carried on with my life. Then this morning, it was working just fine, then I try to unlock it, and the lock screen button doesn't work! I have tried keeping it plugged in (My charger sometimes doesn't work, which makes this a lot harder), I tried holding the power button (can't hold home button because it's broken!), I have tried connecting it to my computer, and it doesn't even pop up on my computer!
I don't know what to do.
I do want to know, what can I do, how much would it cost to get it fixed? Can I just bring it into the Apple Store, or do I have to make an appointment online?
I can't go today, because of the holiday craze and all.
I don't have my iPod backed up either, when I first set up this iPod I did not have a computer at the time.

Try:
- 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 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. You will have to air without an appointment. Maybe for a day or more

My Ipod touch 2nd generation won't turn on.

My Ipod touch 2nd generation won't turn on, except when I plug it in. When it's plugged in, it works fine, but when I unplug it, the screen turns black. The secont i plug it in again, it shows the apple logo as if i shut it down. When unplugged, it is unresponsive, i've tried everything with the home button and power button, doesn't move, it's just black. I've reset the Ipod, I know it is not a software issue. Sometimes it works, but as soon as i push the sleep button it doesn't turn back on till plugged back in. The battery's bad, but it can still last up to 30 minutes. I don't think it's worth buying a new battery, may as well buy an Ipod 5. (pretty cool)

IPod Touch 2nd generation won't turn on and won't show up under Devices on my iTunes.

I was trying to restore my iPod touch because it was locking itself and flashing. When I tried to restore it, the iPod turned itself off completely and won't turn back on. I've tried pressing the lock button and the home button at the same time, and I can't do anything from my computer because my iPod isn't showing up under Devices or Computer. If I put it in the USB port it opens iTunes, but isn't showing that it's plugged in. I have used different USB cords, switched USB ports, and tried charging the iPod, but it still won't turn on. Please help!

You should get it serviced, see your service options here:
6. My iPod is not eligible for warranty service. What are my service options?
Apple offers two options for iPods that are not eligible for warranty service (see below). You will need to provide credit card details for these services. If you do not have a credit card, please take your iPod to your local Apple Retail Store.
iPod Out-of-Warranty Battery Replacement Program: If your iPod requires service only because the battery's ability to hold an electrical charge has diminished, you can have the battery replaced for a service fee by using the Online Service Assistant or at your local Apple Retail Store. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Technical Support.
For more details, please refer to the iPod Out-of-Warranty Battery Replacement Program Frequently Asked Questions.
Out-of-Warranty Service: If your iPod requires service for any other hardware failure that is determined by Apple to be repairable, Apple will service your iPod for the Out-of-Warranty Repair Service fee.
If you want to set up your iPod for the Out-of-warranty service, we recommend that you take your iPod to a local Apple Retail Store. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Technical Support.

My iPod touch 4th gen won't turn on. It's fully charged, but it is stuck with a spinning wheel.

Occasionally it lights up (slowly, with a flash of bright light) to the apple screen, and then reverts to the wheel. I've tried pressing the home and power buttons for 20 seconds, which won't work. It does connect to iTunes, and I'm trying to restore it at the moment, but it keeps saying "network connection timed out". (The operating system is iOS 5.1.1 because I haven't had the space on my iPod to update the software). Thanks for any help you can give!

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.:

IPod Touch 5th Generation won't turn on and the home button is broken, followed the steps from another thread but it's still not working

I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation with iOS 8.1, my home button is broken and I've been using AssistiveTouch for months now. Today I just locked my iPod and it wouldn't unlock again, it doesn't respond at all, it won't turn on. It was almost fully charged, so it's not the battery. I followed the steps from this thread, but I'm still getting the "USBMuxListenerCreate: No Error" message in CMD Prompt. I bought my iPod abroad and even though I do have the warranty, I've been told at the iStore that it's not valid here, so going to the store isn't really an option. Any ideas how to solve this?

Sorry, but without a working home button it is not possible to reset or restore your device. You should visit an Authorized Appel Service Provider or Apple Store to get it serviced. The warranty for an iPod is not limited to the country where it has been bought, check here: one-year limited warranty
Jailbraking the device will void the warranty.
You can check the warranty status by inserting the serial number on this page: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
A list of Authorized Apple Service Providers can be found here: iPod touch - Contact Us - Apple Support

Ipod Touch 2G 16gb Won't Turn On Or Charge

I have an ipod touch 2G 16gb, and when I first plugged it in, the screen showed up with the low battery picture then the screen shut off again. I looked it up and it said that meant that the ipod was dead and needed to charge for up to 10 minutes before the ipod would turn on. I charged it for a half hour and it still won't turn on. I try resetting it, and that does not work either. It's not recognized by my computer or itunes. Is the battery dead? What do I do?

Then your battery might be kaput.

My iPod touch 5th generation won't turn on after the new iOS update

I've just updated my iPod touch 5th generation to the iOS 8.1.1. (or whatever the newest update is) but once it updated, it now won't turn back on. I've tried plugging it into multiple chargers and computers just in case it wasn't charged, and tired turning it on, but all I get is the apple logo and nothing's happening. What can I do? I haven't backed it up this month and I don't want to loose all my stuff. Thanks.

Try the following. It is very likely that the iPod will have to be erased:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

In the future make sure yo backup before updating. I always backup to both iTunes and iCloud before updating .

My iPod touch (4th gen) won't turn back on

I tried unlocking my iPod this afternoon, when it decided to randomly shut off, even though it wasn't on 20% battery, or anything. When I tried plugging it in though, I saw that it wasn't charging. I plugged it in to my computer, went into iTunes to see if anything was happening, and saw that my iPod wasn't being recognized by my computer, unless it entered recovery mode, and even then, it only stayed connected for a couple seconds.
So, in a nutshell, the thing turned off, won't charge, and refuses to go into recovery mode. I also happen to not live too close to an apple store, so I can't get much help from them.

My iPod Touch 5th gen won't turn on

My iPod touch 5th gen was working fine and was fully charged and then it just shut off and won't turn back on. There has been no damage to it from anything and there was no reason it should've shut off. I tried holding down the lock button for a minute and I also tried plugging it in..still nothing. I can't hold down the home button and lock button at the same time because the home button has been stuck down for about a month. What else can I try to make it work?

Turn on without Home/Power Button

I updated to the new version of iTunes, and now my iPod Touch 4th generation won't turn on. I've reinstalled iTunes numerous times, but my iPod doesn't show up and it's plugged in. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so confused. I've been all over the support site and I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes at least 3 times.

Does someone have a solution???? PLEASE HELP!!!!!! D:

My iPod touch 4th generation won't turn on and when I plug it in to charge, it gets really hot. Is there a fix for this?

More information: The iPod ran out of battery late thursday night and I plugged it in to charge. The charging symbol appeared but within 20 minutes, the ipod had gotten very hot and had gained no charge. It hasn't been dropped and it hasn't gotten wet. It's a year and a half old. I use an otterbox as a case, but this problem began three days ago, despite my having been using the brand of case for over a year. It's super important that I find a way to fix this. Help please?
