My ipod touch 5g was working 5 minutes ago now I can't turn it on!

I have no idea if its the actual ipod itself or just the screen but when I press the button at the top, literally nothing happens and it was working about 5 minutes ago!
My home button has been broken for a while so I cannot do a reset otherwise I would, its at least 2 years old this ipod, but it's done me well until now.
I am a university student and I don't live anywhere near an apple store so I have no idea what to do.
Can anyone give me any advice? I have tried putting it on charge and literally nothing is happening :/
Thanks for reading!

  • My iPod 5th gen was working fine and now it won't turn on.

    This morning I was listening to music on it and everything, it was working absolutely fine and went to take a shower, so I locked it. When I came back, it would not respond at all. Like it is on the off screen, with nothing on it. I bought it off a friend and the home button is stuck, so I can't put it in recovery mode, and I was going to download a client to do it on a computer, but my personal laptop does not recognize it (it doesn't even come up on the computer usb port thing and it doesn't charge when I plug it into the wall). I just recently purchased the charger (literally in the last week) so I do not believe it is the charger because it was charging fine all night. Also it was at full charge when I went to shower so I honestly have no idea what to do. I looked up solutions but I am unable to do anything when my computer can't even recognize it. Somebody please help me, or at least tell me I'm screwed so I can stop worrying about it This iPod is important to me and I have a lot of valuable data on it so I will be very dissapointed if I cannot continue to use it.

  • I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. Where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. My pc didn't create a backup before updating software so I can't revert back to ios 4.3.5 from there, where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I tried just about everything and finally brought my Ipod touch to the apple store.  The tech installed ios 4.3.5 but still no WIFI.  He recommended a $149 exchange - not really a bad deal with a new battery and 90 day warranty, but I thought I'd try again.
    The "solution" was bizarre.  On YouTube was a fix involving taking the motherboard out and heating the wifi components with a heat gun.
    I did not like that idea, but another involved turning it off, putting it in the freezer for five minutes and restarting.  It worked!  I must admit the fix does not work reliably, so I may still go for the exchange.  Still, I am now convinced that it is a hardware problem.    i remember back in the old days, TV repairmen sprayed a suspected bad resistor with Freon.  The chilled component would work long enough to identify what needed replacement.  Perhaps something similar is happening here.
    For anyone wanting to try this, I found it more convenient to place the back of my ipod on a  frozen cold pack until the wifi is restored.  It seems to happen when condensation forms on the face.  I used a towel to wipe off the moisture so as not to add to the problem.

  • I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge.

    I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge. holding power+home isn't working either. i've had it plugged in for a while, but i'm pretty sure that's pointless if it won't even connect....help?

    Gonna go out on a limb here and say it's probably user error.

    Hi chelsinator,
    You can reset the phone and it won't cause any problems or cause you to lose any data - Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears.
    The other thing you should do is to reset your network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to set up your Wifi again, but that oftentimes clears things up.
    Cheers,

  • IPod touch stopped charging several minutes ago

    My iPod touch (8G, Gen 1) was plugged into the wall charger (and charging fine) all day up until about 20 minutes ago. I unplugged it for a few minutes and when I plugged it in again, it does not charge. I tried every cable I had and it still doesn't work. It's close to fully charged, and I reset it twice to no avail. What to do now?

    Keep in mind that some household plugs are controlled by light switches... you could try that...
    Also, try plugging it into the computer instead.
    Are you sure its not done charging?

  • Can any body help my ipod touch 4th was working fine all day when i took my earphones out for half an hour and when i went to plug them back in they kept springing back out of the jack and when i finnaly got it in the noise was very crackely

    i was listening to my ipod touch 4th g  all day i stopped to do something and took the earphones out for half an hour and when i went to plug them back in they kept springing back out of the jack and when i finnaly got it in the noise was very crackely

    Get another good pair of headphones and compare the plugs.  Look for damage or differences. Maybe the end had broken off causing your problem.  The try the other set in the iPod.

  • I just updated my Ipod touch to the newest software and now I can not get any of my songs to sync onto my Ipod. All of my songs were wiped from my Ipod but are still in my library and playlists on my computer, but when I click sync none of it works

    So I updated my Ipod touch to the newest software on my pc laptop which is windows 7. The software update wiped all of my songs and apps off of my Ipod. This is not that big of a deal because the songs and apps are still in my library and apps folder in itunes on my computer. The problem is, when I go to sync all my songs and apps back onto my ipod the tracks and apps are not syncing. It's almost as if the computer thinks all the songs are still already on the ipod but they are not. What do I do here?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.

  • My ipod touch got wet 5 days ago and it will not turn on.

    My computer does not recognise that my ipod touch is connected.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • Upgraded 1st gen. ipod touch to 3.1.3 (7E18) now I can not acess my wi-fi

    Hello:
    I have just upgraded my ipod touch to version 3.1.3 (7E18) and now I can not access my wi-fi connection, which I just accessed before doing the update. I have a 1st generation touch. Is there a bug in the program? I did a full restore and my problem persists. If there is a bug; how can I get back to the previous version? I need my internet connection in this equipment. Thanks!

    Started from scratch, restarted again ipod, computer and modem and finally was able to access the net.
