My iPod Touch will not completely turn off or connect to iTunes

I disconnected my iPod and did what you are supposed to do to turn it off. The little thing that circles round and round before it turns off all the way will not stop. It won't turn off no matter what I do. iTunes says it cannot connect to my iPhone (it is an iPod Touch) and that there is some kind of error. I went through all of the troubleshooter steps including uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. What should I do? Will it fix itself when the battery finally dies?

- Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring the iPod via iTunes? For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
For the future. saying:
"I went through all of the troubleshooter steps"
Really provides us with no information since we do not know what steps you are referring to.

My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?

My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?
When i plug it in to my compuer it shows an empty battery with the charge symbol then after a while it shows the apple logo like it is turning on then nothing happens and it goes back to the battery.

I haven't left it overnight to charge. Is there a difference between letting it charge overnight and an hour or two with no results? The ipod does not even recognize that the cord is attatched.
I left it on my dresser in my bedroom.

IPod Touch will not show up in Windows XP after iTunes 10.2.1 update

After updating iTunes to 10.2.1 my 4G Touch will not show up in Windows XP to charge or to sync. I have been reading this forum and following the multiple Apple help and troubleshooting steps with no luck. I can get Windows to recognize and charge the Touch as a camera but it will not update the driver for Apple Mobile Device. I have come to the conclusion it is an Apple software problem. Does anyone know where I can get the previous Apple Mobile Device driver for Windows XP? I would like to give that a try. It's really disappointing....

Upon uninstalling and re-installing all of the Apple software nothing has changed. I can see Apple Mobile Device Support in add/remove programs but when clicking on "repair" it cannot finish and says it encountered a fatal error and no changes have been made.
The error I get trying to install the driver in Device Manager says "I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request".
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Battery removed from ipod touch, will not complete recovery

the battery died a long time ago on my ipod touch 32gb, think it is 1st or 2nd gen, when i plug the ipod in it still lights up and works but asks me to plug it into itunes, when i do that itunes says i need to restore it but when i start the restore process the apple logo reappears on the ipod then it dies and i get an error message from itunes, usually unknown error 1604 or 1603, sometimes 1611. all i want to do is leave my ipod plugged into a dock to play music without the ipod having a battery will this work, surely there must be a way if it's still showing the screen when plugged in

hi thanks for your reply, i tried all of the things on this page already and still no luck, itunes goes into preparing ipod for recovery, the screen on the ipod switches from telling me to connect to itunes, to the apple logo for about 10-20 seconds then the screen on the touch dies and the update either fails or just sticks on preparing bar
really quite annoying this

My new Ipod touch will not sync movies and tv shows from Itunes

When I try to transfer movies and tv shows I bought from Itunes I get the message saying that my device is not compatible.
I have been on the phone to Itune support for about 30hours++ . I have been reissued a new Ipod touch but this problem is reoccuring.
I registered my new Ipod touch under another account but I have activated home sharing on my computer.
Can anyone suggest anything that Apple support cannot solve Thanks

What happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi? Any error messages? Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, work through the remaining troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document.

My 2g ipod touch will not update to 4.2.1 -my itunes is current update

i'm on my 4th attempt to download. each time i do it says "downloading" & that it will take around 77 minutes. when i come back later it's as if nothing has happened. if i replug my ipod in it offers the update 4.2.1 again & through the process i go again - repeatedly to no avail.

I am going to guess that you are using a Windows PC not a Mac with OSX. Make sure you are Administrator on the computer. Update any security software installed. Next step if you are still having the issue is to disable all security software on your computer. This would be programs that are Antivirus, Antispyware, Anti adware, and Firewalls. It is rare that Windows Firewall causes issues so you can leave it on. Some security software will need to be completely removed before update will work (remember to restart after removal). Next try a different user account on the computer or a different computer. There is always the Apple store as a last resort. They will update the device for you too. Remember to re enable or reinstall security software after update.

I woke up this morning and my iPod wouldn't turn on. It's just a black screen when I plug it in to charge or even when I plug it into iTunes. Another problem is that I can't reset it because my home button is broken. If you know how to fix this, please help.

My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes. It keeps turning off and then showing the apple logo?

My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes. It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo. I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in. It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off? Any other suggestions?

I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.
