My ipod touch will not work the screen is black with a small white circle/wheel in the middle of it no matter which button i press and hold nothing happens

My ipod touch stopped working. The screen is black with a small white circle/wheel with ridges/teeth in the middle of the screen. No matter what button is pressed and/or held nothing happenes. Can anyone assist me?

Try the remaining items of:

If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least and hour try again.
- If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Error 11 is a strange one...if you search the discussions for error 11 you will get a number of hits but none with a real resolution other than getting the iPod to restore, which you have done.  And one person indicates this does not appear in the support data base...already found that out.
    If you have restored, have a backup and can restore from that, you might try the update again, or wait for the next update whenever that comes out. 
    Not a very satisfactory answer but if it is working again...

  • My iPod touch will not come on just a black screen

    my ipod touch will not turn on,

    Make sure the device is plugged in to the charger for at least 10 minutes before trying to power on. If that doesnt work try a hard reset on the device, hold in the home button and the power button until the Apple shows on the screen.
    Thanks

  • My 4th gen ipod touch will not work in a philips or Sony docking station

    I bought a philips(DC320) clock radio and my ipod touch would not work in it.  Thinking it was a problem with the connector on the radio I returned it and bought a Sony ICF-CS15ip because the store was out of the philips radio.  When I plugged my 4th gen ipod touch into that again my Ipod touch would not play through the radio but the radio would recognize and charge the ipod.  I tried my daughter's 2nd gen ipod touch in the Sony and it worked great.  So It looks like there is a problem with the my ipod.  Sony claims that the ICF-CS15ip is compatible with the 4th gen ipod touch and I have the latest IOS 5.1.1 on my ipod.  Any suggestions before I go to the Apple store?  The Ipod is only 6 months old.

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - 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 defaults/new iPOd.
    That has worked for some users.
    However, sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility. In that case yo have to wait for either Apple or the dock manufacturer to issue a firmware update.

  • My 4th gen iPod touch will not work. The unlock screen comes up but dosent do anything because its is frozen. the after 5 to 10 seconds it looks like it will shut off but that also freezes. After a few seconds it goes back to the unlock screen. Help!

    Try:

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

  • Ipod touch will not work or restore

    I connected my ipod touch. It said it needed an update. So I hit ok. It downloaded but then gave me an error that it could not be installed. It told me to restore it. It restores to a point then again gives me an error message # 9 that it could not restore. It keeps saying to restore it but it will not restore The screen gives me the connect to itunes screen but it will not restore.
    The ipod is new to me but not new, so I cannot get apple support at the store which is several hours away. Can anyone solve this problem?

    Hey Lizpuff,
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 provides tips that will resolve most restore errors, including error 9.
    Can you restore the iPod touch from another user account? The article will walk you through creating a test user account.
    Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC, using the cable that came with it.

  • IPhone, iPod Touch will not work with Skullcandy Icon2,  Icon 2

    I pulled my Skullcandy Icon 2 's out for my ski trip and found that the mic and control had stopped working with my iPhone. Thinking that the Mic/Button had broke I went out and picked up a new pair, which also didn't work.
    Both sets of head phones were tried on an iPhone 3g, iPod Touch 1st Gen. and iPod Nano 3rd gen. None of which would allow control of the devices in music mode or call answer.
    To rule out a defective headset, I connected them to my friend's phone, a HTC Hero. The controls on the Icon 2 would play and pause any music program, including Pandora including controlling calls, (answer, mute and hang up).
    I haven't found anything other then lint in the head phone jack to as a solution to this. (not a solution for me).
    If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
    Hardware Info:
    Skullcandy Icon 2 Purchased 2009-2010
    Skullcandy Icon 2 Purchased 12/2/2010
    iPhone 3g Software version 4.2.1
    iPod Touch Software version 3.1.3
    iPod Nano 1.1.3

    Has this worked for you in the past? I am under the impression that your units are older and do not support this functionality. See <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3310>.

  • My "tilt" on my iPod touch will not work.

      I've tried to reset my settings several different times and it still isn't helping. I'm obsessed with Temple Run and it annoys me that I can't play it. It also does the same thing for Rollercoaster and Waterslide. Everyone says to take it apart and fix the accelerometer, but I really don't want to do that. If anyone knows how to fix the problem with a different way, please let me know. I'm thinking about just trading in my iPod.

    Have you checked to see if you have the rotation lock turned on? If on there is a circular arrow with a padlock inside next to the battery icon in the upper right.
    You can 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 defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem then it is time for an appointment at the Genisu Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPod touch will not sync error message 13019 even with newest version of itunes

    hello yesterday I was having trouble with syncing and the error message 13019 popped up. I was told that by updating itunes to the newest version would solve the problem. My itunes has been updated but when I try to drag any music to "iPod touch" under devices the error messege pops up again. I have an older version of the ipod touch and it asks me to update it to 4.2? I believe thats the newest version. When I try to update that it says there are things on my iPod that will be lost if I don't sync it but it doesn't allow me to sync my ipod! Thank you for any help.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPOd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • I have no idea what to do. The iPod touch will not work w/ iTunes and has the apple symbol. It keeps flashing white.

    The ipod was restored to factory settings and now it wont do anything except show the apple symbol and flash white. Then iTunes says it can't connect because of an unknown error.

    Use the search function up to the right. There are a zillion basic setup guides with a simple Google search.
