My iPod Touch is either a blue screen or shows the battery as drained with red at the front and a white lightening bolt below it. It is plugged in to charge, but won't.

I tried holding down both buttons and it will temp. turn off, then show the apple, then a narrow white line goes from left to right and then the blue screen stays on. I am not that familiar with dealing with electronic devices so please keep any instructions as simple as possible, thanks. T

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Also, if youy can't turn the iPod off (screen off) then try letting the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the articles again.
If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Just upgraded to a 6. I want to use my old 4S as an iPod touch. Is there a way to disable the phone and only have wi-fi?

Did you transfer the telephone number from the old phone to the new phone? If you did, I don't see how you could still have cellular service, even if you turned it off in settings.

Ipod Touch 4g turned to blue screen after IOS6 Update?

So my ipod said I could update to IOS6, but I had to plug it in first. I did and updated then set it out of the way to be on my laptop. When I checked on it all it showed was a bright blue, almost turqoise screen and won't respond to any buttons I press. It won't show up on my itunes anymore. I've tried plugging it in and then replugging it, but that hasn't changed anything. I don't know what else to do. I have a 8gb 4th generation ipod touch if that helps.

Not uncommon problem. Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

New ipod touch is stuck on blue screen with aple logo

I plugged in my new apple ipod touch to my computer and on my itune screen a box popped up and said, "new update available for ipod touch" so i clicked accept and then it said that it was updating and everything and the screen of my ipod turned a blue/black color and had the Apple logo on it. Then a bar came up right underneath the Apple logo and it started to fill in, but it was filling in very slow. I thought that the update came up because i had just downloaded some things from the apps store to my itunes on my computer, so i thought it was putting it on my touch. It has been stuck on the blue/black screen with the Apple logo and completely filled bar for a long time and it has not changed once.

I have an Itunes account with all My apps, and music from my Ipod touch, If i buy an Ipad will all the Apps and music download automatically or will i have the choice to download the ones i want to my Ipad?

Im planning on buying an Ipad. I already have an itunes account for my Ipod touch with a bunch of music, and apps. When i buy said ipad (and i connect it to my account) will all the apps/ music automatically download themselves or will i be able to choose the apps/ music that will go to the ipad?

You can choose which apps to install. App Store > Purchased > Not on This iPad.

My iPod touch 2nd generation(8 gb) is constantly showing the red slider bar and is turning the volume up.

I've had my iPod for two or three years now, and it has never shown any problems other than this. It acts as if I am holding down both the volume button and the power button, which I am not. It makes it impossible to listen to music without blowing out my eardrums and it won't let me navigate the app pages. So far, i have held the power buton and home screen for ten seconds, i have turned it off then back on, and i have let it sit for a day. I have never dropped it, stepped on it, or let it get wet, so I have no clue how to solve this.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

- First try restoring from backup
- If problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT201318 How do I back up everything that will be lost when I upgrade my software for my Ipod Touch 3rd Generation? Can I just take the information and go into windows explorer and drag it out in2 a separate folder/drag it back?I'm running Windows Vista b

I am trying to figure out how to back up ALL of my apps, games, movies, personal info, etc, that is destroyed when I upgrade ITunes ( I do not know why). If it's all on ITunes in the first place then what's the problem with installing new software after wiping it clean, then adding that software and the original apps, games, movies, tv shows, etc, that are stored on ITunes to begin with"? With that being said, I subscribed to ICloud somehow through the Itunes store, the instructions that they had for using Windows VIsta were incorrect so I signed up with the intention of using it as a tool to backup all of my data. Problem is I only got 25 gigs to start and I need 40 gigs. I also don't know how to properly set up the account or manage it, or the amount of data that it will hold. Please help me!!!! I just recently located my Touch after it being misplaced by my little sister for over a year and I'm trying to upgrade the operating system, after all, it IS over two years old.....Thanks, in advance for any help anyone can give me.

Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.
