My ipod touch wont turn on and screen flashes how do i fix it?

my ipod touch wont turn on.  the ipod is charged to the computer with a working cable(tested) and it is flashing the red charging sign and the plug me in low battery sign.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My Ipod touch wont turn on and screen just flashes black?

    my ipod touch hasnt been working lately. I was at the beach and the battery died but we didnt have any chargers so i waited untill we got home to plug it in. When i did the ipod got really messed up and it would just turn off when i unplugged it. So i tried to restore it and when it started it said preparing ipod for restore and the screen would just turn off and start flashing a black screen. Ive tried regular and DFU restore but nothing works. Does anyone know how to fix this or if it is truely broken?

  • My ipod touch wont turn on the screen is balck i tried connecting it to my computer but it wont work.. Can anyone help me ?

    My ipod touch wont turn on, The screen is black and i tried to plug it inot my computer and it still wont turn on.. Can someone help me ?.

    After charging for at least an hour I would try in order:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    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.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  You may have to place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Brand New ipod Touch wont turn on and isnt recognized by windows or macbook

    I just got my ipod touch and macbook today. When i press the button on top of the ipod, it wont do anything. Also, when i plug the ipod into my macbook and my other PC, they both dont recognize it. Nothing has come up on the ipod's screen. Should i take it to the apple store in my area? Thank you all!

    Hi--
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Sorry to hear about your iPod. If you're close to an Apple store, then I'd definitely take it in and have them look at it, especially if it won't turn on when it's plugged into the MacBook or the PC. Even if the battery was drained out (unlikely on a brand new iPod), it should start up when it's getting power from the USB bus.
    It's probably best to check out this list of Apple Stores:
    http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/
    Pick the one closest to you, then make a reservation at the Genius Bar. It's been a while since I had to do that, but I think I had to wait until after midnight, or maybe until around 6 AM the day I wanted to go in.

  • Ipod touch wont turn on and itunes wont detect.HELP!!!!

    Can anyone please help me after updated my ipod touch 8gb 1st or 2nd gen cant remember. when i plug it into my laptop, itunes pops up as normal and it says waiting for ipod then the ipod turns on no logo just a blank black screen but its on, after about 2/3 mins it turns off and then in itunes it says. itunes detects an ipod but cant identify it with error code (1602). it also has done the exact same thing but with a white blank screen. i have tried to hard reset by pressing the home button and the power button at the same time i have tried it while its been fully off with the white screen and with the black screen(but switched on) absolutely nothing. i have aslo tried dfu mode in all of them situations i named but still nothing. i have aslo tried to re install the driver manually by navigating to usbappl but i get the error  windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it and underneath that it says the device can not start(10) i have ran out of ideas and can not find anything else online the ipod is absolutely not jailbroken and was working perfectly fine before the update.

    Check your USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Check for outdated or modified software

  • My 4th gen ipod touch wont sync only check marked songs, how do i fix that?

          I just got a 4th gen. ipod touch.  it works fine everything is great on it but when i try to sync only check marked songs onto it from itunes it wont sync any songs at all.  I thought i solved the problem when i clicked "autofill" in the music tab under "my devices" but all that did was randomly put songs on my ipod.  i went to the settings and unchecked "choose items randomly" and tried again but it did the same thing.  i know its not my computer cuz the same thing was happening with my old ipod.  i have "sync only checked songs" marked but it just wont work.  PLEASE HELP ME!!
