My iPod Touch Is Dead and Won't Charge

I have a 2nd Generation 16GB iPod Touch. I have had it for a year and half. I use it very often.
Yesterday, it just all the sudden shut off. It was low on battery, but it didn't even do it's usual black screen and the loading logo. It just completely shut off to a black screen. I immediately tried to charge it, but to no avail. When I try to charge it, it jst shows the Apple logo over and over as if it's trying to shart back up, but won't. I left it on the charger all night hoping it would resurrect, but that didn't happen either. It won't charge at all. I click the Home button and it shows the Charging bar. All it hjas left is a little red bar at the end. It recognizes that it is plugged into the computer because it has the little lightning strike under the bar that shows that it is indeed charging, or at least trying to charge. When I unplug it, it has the little "plug > lighning strike" logo. It's like it recognizes that it is plugged into a charger, but just won't charge.
I have already tried holding the Home and Power button numerous times, so don't tell me to do that.
My iPod Touch is not recognized by my computer or iTunes.
I really just want to get the songs off my broken iPod Touch, so if you know how to do that, then that will be fine as I will most likely buy a new iPod Touch.
Please help me out.

If you've tried the poer cycle button and its not working I'd try a trip to the Genius bar. Do you have an Apple store nearby?

My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this?

My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this? Before it died, it said I had a full battery whenever I charged it, but as soon as it came off of the charger, the battery level was always under ten per cent.

Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced.

Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.

My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected. We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

HELP! My ipod is frozen on and won't charge!

Hello!
My ipod is completely frozen and won't charge. It is stuck on a picture of a folder with an exclamation point(!). I reset it several times and it just goes back to this picture. I have tried to charge it but it seems to not connect to my computer because the battery does not come up and my ipod icon does not appear in my itunes. I tried to charge it on another computer and it would not charge on that one either. I updated my itunes but still nothing. Restoring seems kind of extreme (losing ALL of my songs!!) so I was hoping I could fix this problem without having to do that! Can anyone help me or has this happened to anyone else? Suggestions are welcome! Please Help! =)

Do you have a windows or a mac computer?

If you have a pc, does the iPod appear as a drive in "my computer"?

My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life!

My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life! What to do???

Was late to work because my alarm didn't go off on my iPhone this morning! (4 w/ IOS 5) When I woke up, I went to check my phone and it wouldn't turn on; so I plugged it in to the charger and no response. I left it plugged in while I was getting ready...came back a shortwhile later...still no signs of life. At that point, I held both buttons for several seconds and the apple logo appeared and the lock screen displayed shortly thereafter. And what's odd, is that it showed that I had about 80% of battery life left. So it seems like something else caused it to shutdown completely. One note though...I updated to IOS 5 on Sunday...and I've used my phone ever since with no problems. So this is the first time this has happened since the update.
In looking at a thread on another site, I found this excerpt from an alleged beta tester back in June...and it was in reference to the iPad 2 with IOS 5, but seemed plausible enough to share here:
Issue: "Hey guys, whenever my iPad 2 is locked for a while, it wont wake from sleep. I have to give it a hard reset. Is anyone else having this issue?"
Response: "I think I isolated the issue....make sure banner notifications are turned off for mail app. If the screen is locked and you get a mail it freezes up causing you to reboot. hope it gets fixed in the next beta!"
Follow-up: "Did it help you at all? I tried recreating every way I could think of with mail and never could. I'll turn of mail notifications for the rest of the night and see what happens."
"Hey Rick, yes it helped, my iPad no longer shuts off. I turned off mail banner notifications like Defender2010 said, and at least for now, it doesn't turn off anymore."

My original Ipad is dead and won't charge at all. I've tried numerous chargers. How do I know if the iPad is "broke"?

Aside from taking it in to a certified Apple Repair shop, this may be a sign that it is dead. Or there could some kind of damage to the connectors on the charge port. I am guessing on that part because I am assuming that the other chargers you have used work for other devices. It may be time to look into buying a new one if it is dead.

iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). 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.

Ipod Touch is dead and can't reset or power it

ipod touch is dead; no power; how do you fix or reset?

lisafrommclean,
When you say that your iPod touch is "dead", do you mean that the battery is dead or that there has been some sort of damage to your iPod?
If your battery is dead, keep this in mind...when you plug it into a computer, then it will show a message with the battery and a lightning bolt beneath it on your iPod touch screen unless the battery level is extremely low. Generally within 15-30 minutes, the Apple logo will appear on your iPod touch, it will start up, and your iPod touch will appear in the iTunes sidebar.
Hope this helps,
O.C.

I cannot get my ipod touch to do anything, it just went dead and won't charge

I tried turning on my ipod touch and it would not do anything, not even show a battery sign or anything, just completely dead. I used it with a half battery about 15 minutes prior to that and it worked fine. It will not charge or anything.

After reading some other replies from older post I got it to work! I held down the power button and home button at the same time until the white apple icon appeared, then plugged into even though it already had a full battery.
