My ipod touch froze & after i reset it, it still won't turn on

my ipod touch froze so i held down the lock and home button to restart it. it did this but when the apple logo shows up as if its going to awaken,
it immediately turns off again. i tried holding down the home & lock button the whole time and it still immediately shuts off of flashes a white screen and the screen goes blank again. the ipod doesnt even do anything when i plug it into the computer or itunes so i can restore it. ive repeated processes to reset it conuntless times but it hasnt effected it at all.
i've tried basically everything to try and revive it, but so far nothing has worked.
anybody have any other tips or options that will help me make it work again?

Some more information, please. What happens when you attempt to sync? Any messages? Etc., etc., etc.

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?

You said "reset," so Meg assumed that's what you did. But "reset" is not a button; to reset the phone you must hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. You may have to hold for up to 30 seconds, and if the battery was completely drained, you will have to restore iOS using iTunes on your computer.

Ipod touch froze after reset

Hi. Does anyone knows how I can get the ipod touch to work after it was resetted. It does nothing but show the Apple icon and won't do anything else.

Got a new 4g 32GB for Xmas. Trouble since day 1. I'm not one who loads all kinds of apps, just a few games, music, and movies. I don't sync email, or surf the web(much). Really don't use it much at all. I've restored this thing 4 times since receiving it. It just locks up, I reset, and it goes to the original setup screen (you know, the one with the picture of the usb plug...). Each time I've had to reload all my music, etc. Real pain in the rear.
Last night I was on the plane watching a movie (which I had to stop and restart about every ten minutes because the video froze while sound remained, or vice versa) and it powers off, restarts, then presents a screen that says there are no video files on the device, even though I had been watching a movie (in small pieces) for 45 minutes.
The POS is now connected to my PC, frozen on the apple logo screen; can't power it off, if I reset it comes back to the same state; it'll restart itself occasionally with the same result.
Am I the only one experiencing this type of behavior, or did I just get a defective device? Software is all up to date...thinking of making a trip back to Best Buy...

Daughter's iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode, won't turn on after I restore it, please help...

My daughters iPod touch 4th gen is STUCK. Somehow it was disabled because of too many password attempts (my younger daughter was pushing numbers). I connected it to iTunes, did the press and hold power button + home button, then let go of sleep button. iTunes recognized it, gave me the option to restore it and did its thing. Here's the problem, now it won't GET OUT of that mode. After the first attempt, it wouldn't power on after I disconnected it from the computer. So I hooked it up again, and it says its detected an iPod in recovery mode and offers me the same "update & restore" option it did originally. Now what??? Please help. My daughter just got this two weeks ago for her birthday.

Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

HT201412 Held Sleep & Home buttons on my iPod Touch (1st Gen.) during restoration process, now won't turn back on. What can I do myself to fix this? Thank!

In short, I was accidentally restoring/resetting my 1st generaton iPod Touch and I wanted to quickly get out of that, so I rebooted as you all know is that I held the Sleep and Home buttons together, and now, it doesn't want to turn on at all! When I try to turn on, only the "Apple" symbol appears ad disappears, goes back off, no power, after a few seconds. Any heard of this or experienced something similar? Anyone know any tricks if so? And, no, I have no time to go to AppleCare, especially since it's an outdated, 1st genration iPod Touch, and for that I feel no need to make an urgent appointment to them. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Some other users have had the same problem

I was using my Ipod Touch, and it just cut off. It won't turn back on now. It won't charge. What can I do? Any suggestions?

Help! I charged my Ipod touch the other night, I was using it yesterday and it cut off. It won't turn back on now at all. I've tried to plug it in to charge, and absolutely nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Hello Christie,
With it still plugged in, try a hard reset to see if that helps. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may or may not work the first time around, so be sure to try this at least a couple of times.

TS1383 I charged my Ipod touch (forth generation) over night and now it won't turn back on.. like the screen just stays black.

I was at a friends house and I used her Ipod dock to charge my ipod before we left to go to her grandmas, before we left I checked it to see if it was charging and it was. So we left for a few hours and we came home and it was charged. Later on that night, before we went to bed I put my ipod on the SAME charger I used earlier that day. I woke up in the morning and tried turning it on and the screen stayed black so I paniced and put it on the charger some more and notcied the screen stayed black. We looked up what to do on the internet and it seems a lot of people were having this problem as well. Some of the people said to hold the home and power button at the same time and the apple sigh will appear and your ipod will be good again.. we tried that and nothing same black screen. I have no idea what to do with it and if it can be fixable.

My husband gave me his iPod touch, even after resetting all settings, and even though I have a user name and password whenever I need to update apps it shows his previous user name, and is asking for his password. How do I fix that?

Ok, when I go into my Apple ID account, everything looks right. It does show my user name. It's only on the iPod that it shows my husband's previous user name, and it asks for his password. Everything in iTunes and my account looks right. The issue only seems to be with the actual device, iPod Touch 4th gen.
There is more than one way to access the Apps Store and the iTunes store. One is via iTunes on your computer, and the other is via the apps on your iPod.
Just because you are logged in on your computer does not mean you are logged in on your iPod.
The reason your husband's user name comes up is because he was the last one to log on. You can change that by going to Settings>Store. Tap the Apple ID, Tap Sign Out, Tap Sign In, Tap Use Existing Appel ID, enter your e-mail address and Apple ID password, and tap OK.

TS2446 my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how to i reset?

my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how do i reset the password.

If it's showing the disabled screen due to too many incorrect passcode attempts then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Itunes doesn't recognize ipod touch even after I download latest version

About a week ago my ipod touch froze on the apple logo screen. I found a way to reset the factory setting and then try something else (can't remember what it was) where the itunes logo shows up on the screen and you plug it into your computer. After I did that a message came up that said "The ipod "ipod touch" cannot be used because it requires itunes version 9.2 or later. Go to itunes.com to download the latest version of itunes". I did that and it still won't recognize it. I even downloaded the latest version of iTunes 3 times and after I plug my ipod in still the same message. I got this ipod touch as a Christmas gift in 2009. A friend of my mom's bought a car and it came with it. She didn't want it so she gave it to me. So, I'm not even sure which version it is. I've had no problems with it up until now. What do I need to do to get itunes to recognize my ipod? There's got to be more than downloaded the latest version several times- I know that's not good.

Start here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start by removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using the instructions in the link.
