Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
I suspect you have a hardware problem.

My IPod Touch 4g won't charge or sync, how do I fix it?

I had my IPod Touch 4 generation for 2 years now and suddenly my ipod won't connect to my laptop nor to any other computer source in my household. Before my IPod would only sync and not charge, so I would had to figit with the sync cable connected to my IPod just so I can make it charge and sync at the same time. Now it won't do either and my laptop doesn't even recognize there's a device connected (It doesn't even say "Device has malfunctioned, Computer can't recognize device). I open Device Manager and no IPod connected at all. I tried different sync cables and it's not making any differences. My IPod is drain out of its battery right now and when I connected, the IPod screen stays blank and when I click the power button, All it tells me is that my battery is low and i need to connected to a power source to charge it even though I have it connected to my laptop
Now I have this feeling that there is something wrong with my IPod, but I don't know what it is. is it: Old Age, The Battery's dead and needs to be replaced, The place, on the IPod, where you connect the syncing cable to the ipod is broken? I have no idea and I have things in my IPod that I need to get urgently. So is there anyway to fix this or do I have to go to an apple store and see what they can do
Thank you for all your help, I gladly appreciate it

IPod touch 5g won't charge/turn on?

I just got a brand new iPod touch 5g this month for my birthday. I've had it for a little over a week and it has been working perfectly. I went on a trip to Kansas City this weekend, and used my ipod during the ride up there. It drained the battery substantially, and it must have died. When I got home to charge it, I plugged it into my computer and waited for iTunes to recognize the device, but it won't. When I try to do anything on the iPod, this image appears:
and then it vanishes after a few seconds.
When I go to turn the iPod on, it won't. And now it won't charge and the above image is the only thing that appears when I try to do anything. I've tried plugging it in and waiting for periods of time, but that didn't work. I've tried restoring it, but whenever iTunes downloads "iTunes Software Update" I get an error message when it's finished downloading.
What is wrong with the iPod? Is the battery defective? Is there a way I can fix this at home or do I have to take it in to Apple? Or is there a simple solution to this that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.

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.

IPod touch 4g won't charge

Hello,my iPod touch 4g is fairly new but for some reason it just won't charge. I replaced it the 1st time back in April,because it was very cracked and I got a new one but this one isn't working that well. When I plug in the ipod it shows the red low battery sign and the lightning sign but when I leave it on the usb charger to charge its still on the low battery sign with the lightning under. I've tried to reset,but when I do the screen flashes white and shows the same red low battery sign and the lightning sign. After that I tried to restore and it itunes recognizes the ipod trying to restore itself and the screen turns a bright white,and then the apple logo comes up. After that,the apple logo flashes off and the same red low battery signal with the lightning symbol shows up and I get error 3194 or 1604. I've tried using more than one computer and more than one usb plug. I don't know what to do anymore please help me.

Ipod touch frozen, won't charge or connect with itunes

My ipod touch is 8 months old and is frozen. It just has the battery charge icon on display, have tried to restart holding the sleep / wake button and the start button but I still only get this icon. It won't charge when attached to my computer using the usb lead and it will not link to itunes. I have some photos on it which I do not want to lose. What can I do?

Could be a Battery problem... If so you will need to take it in to the Apple Store or AASP...

My iPod Touch 5 won't Charge?

For some reason, my iPod won't charge, I do intend to call Apple for support but I may aswell get help before I do. My iPod charger was working perfectly fine during last week, but ever since yestreday, when my iPod went out of charge, my iPod wouldn't charge at all, I'd try to plug it in differently, use my sister's charger, blow into it and none of it seemed to work. When I check if the iPod even is charging it won't charge. Even if I check iTunes on my laptop it won't recognize it. I may have my iPod data saved onto iTunes but I'm not sure so if there was any way of determining that I do, that'd be helpful. Also, since yestreday my laptop said something about the charger using too much energy or something of that sort. So I would really appreaciate some help or any tips when I get my new charger (let's hope so). I do have a little wear on the wire of the charger but i purposely made it 'wrinkly' (if that makes sense) so I would be able to tell the difference between my charger and my sisters. Thanks. Also, would it be possible to import my pictures to my laptop whilst my iPod has no charge?!

My iPod touch 3g won't charge

Two days ago, my iPod wouldn't charge at all on my desktop computer.I have no idea what happened just that it won't charge when its plugged into my computer. A popout comes and says that the device has malfunctioned and that it can't be recognized.I've tried using home charger for my iPod but it still won't charge. I checked for the iPod driver on my computer but it's not on it. The driver I believe is called "usbaapl sys". I've downloaded iTunes but my iPod still won't charge. My computer and iTunes doesn't. This is really frustrating because I haven't used my iPod touch for 2 days . Please help me

Thank you, I'll go to the nearest apple store and ask them what's wrong with this. My iPod still won't charge and it's been 4 days since it has low battery. My iPod was not/is not jailbroken Thanks for helping

My iPod touch 4g won't charge at all unless...

Ok so listen. My iPod the one with a camera on it will NOT charge ever or connect to iTunes ...I've tried multiple computers and I've tried re installing iTunes and I always use the newest version of iTunes. My iPod never ever has the little electric sign that it's charging but if I leave it on a USB wall charger over night it will have a full battery. But that doesn't even matter it's in recovery mode and just will not connect to iTunes I know its not my charging cable I've tried 2 brand new ones and my old one All from apple. I cant use my iPod and it won't connect but it will charge if I do that ..so why won't it connect!!!!?

IPod Touch 4g won't charge and play at the same time

I used to have a 4g Nano that I would play in my car through an aux cable and charge through a cigarette lighter charger. I just got a 4th gen iPod Touch and it no longer lets me charge and play at the same time. If both wires are connected it will only charge and not play, once I pull the charger part out it will play through the speakers. Is there a fix to this? Do I need a different charger so that it won't think it's simply docked?

You would need to turn off hard drive mode via iTunes iPod settings on your home system to do this. I don't know if you have this mode on or off already. I thought I read that there is a way to enable/disable hard drive mode via the iPod buttons but I don't remember how.
Thanks,
Steven

IPod Touch 2g won't charge battery or sync to Mac Mini

Until yesterday charging and syncing worked normally. No changes or updates have been made to the touch or mini. Now it won't charge the battery or sync to iTunes.
I have tried the following:
1. Tried 3 different sync cords and all 4 usb ports on the Mac Mini (running OSX 10.5.6), no luck
2. Tried another iPod Touch 2g and an iphone 3g and no luck.
3. Tried the Touch on another computer we have, a cube, and all is well, works as it should.
4. Have restarted the Mini, no luck
5. Ran DiskWarrior on the Mini and all green, no red, i.e., mini ok.
6. Referring to 5. above, while running DiskWarrior (of course booted from a flash drive with mini system) the iPod Touch starting showing it was charging??? After returning to the main system, no charging.
7. To repeat, all worked as it should up until yesterday.
Thanks for any help

Since your USB ports appear to be working, the problem appears to be a communication issue between the touch and iTunes.
There is one piece of software that controls communications with iTunes and your touch/iPhone - Apple Mobile Device Services. The linked article discusses how to remove and reinstall it.
