My iPod will no longer turn on after I fully charged it. HELP!

I knew I should have never trusted Apple with personal files. I put all of my pictures from my digital camera (1,800 of them) on the ipod for "safe" keeping. Now my ipod will no longer turn on. I fully charged the ipod until the "charged" icon appeared. Then I disconnected it. A couple hours later I tried to turn it on and it no longer turns on. I've had this iPod for about 6 months and I'm pretty sure it's not a dead battery. It's been very good with me. The hold switch is NOT activated. I went through all of the common sense troubleshooting steps. I tried to reset the ipod. I tried recharging it on AC power. I tried reconnecting it via USB on computer. I tried the updater, which doesn't work b/c ipod won't turn on. I've also tried hitting it...jk. I also have 10,330 songs on here. This is my life on my ipod. I can't afford to lose this info. 60GB gone. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

  • My iPod will no longer turn on after attempting to update my iTunes to the newest version.

    Pretty self-explanatory for the most part. I was attempting to update iTunes to the newest version because I have been putting it off forever. It's not currently the newest version..however when it was updating, my iPod went into recovery mode (the screen flashed to the iTunes symbol & the USB symbol) & then after a few minutes of trying to restart it (pushing the home & the lock button) it went completely black & will not turn on whatsoever. My iTunes STILL will not recognize it & I have done everything to try to turn it on/get it to work, but nothing happens.
    Additional details that just happened: When I try to get it out of the black screen of death by holding the home & the lock button now, the Apple icon flashes for a few seconds, but won't fully turn on, which I don't understand why? Now it's back to the recvovery mode screen.
    Any suggestions? It's fully charged, I know that for sure.
    I would really appreciate the help though! I walk 20 minutes to class every day & always have it with me. It's a 4th Generation iPod Touch.
    Thank you all!

    Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
    If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

  • My Ipod will no longer turn on could this be the battery

    my ipod has quit and it has been on the charger could this be the battery? I have had it for over 6 years

    More than likely, especially given the lengthy age of the device.  Batteries only have so many charge cycles they are good for.  After that, only time will tell and if your case, it sounds like it's totally shot in terms of being able to hold any sort of charge.
    You can opt to have Apple swap out the battery for a flat fee or you can also choose to send it a third party service center who can do the same job for a little less.  A quick Google search for "iPod battery replacement" should give you quite a few results to work with in terms of finding the best deal.
    Lastly, if you feel like you are handy with repairing small electronics, you can choose to purchase a new battery and swap it out yourself.  There are excellent guides over at iFixit that can walk you through the process step-by-step.

  • IPod will no longer turn on or even charge.  (5th Gen iPod)

    One night I was using my iPod like I normally do. It was half way out of battery. I left my iPod on my bed and went to the kitchen. I got back in around 3 minutes. I went to grab my iPod and pushed the power button and it didn't turn on. I then pressed the home screen button and wouldn't turn on either. My iPod now does not want to turn on at all. I put it to charge and it won't turn on that way either. What should I do?

    - 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 another cable                     
    - 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 won't turn on after trying to charge after the battery ran out

    I was about to charge my ipod because it was below 10% but before I could it ran out. Now, when I plug it in to the computer or my Ipod wall charger, it won't come up in itunes and my wall charger says it is charging (red light) but 30 minutes later, my ipod won't turn on. I can't figure out why my ipod will not turn on and can't restore it in itunes otherwise I would have tried that. I can't reset it either since it won't even turn on. Do I just need to charge even longer? Or is it something else?

    Thx alot for this thread, plus the solution. i was frekin out. i didn't do anything to the ipod for it to do what it it. have you or can any one tell me why it did this, or what could be the reasons for this to happen. i think that knowing that would also be very usefull. thx in adv.

  • Ipod Will No Longer Turn On

    I'm having a issue with my Ipod Classic. It has worked fine since I purchased it but all of a sudden it simply won't turn on at all. I've tried all the methods of rebooting it and charging it but it simply will not do anything. It was not dropped or mishandled in any way and was used this morning on the way to work in perfect working fashion. Tried it after work and it simply will not turn on at all. Help would be appreciated.

  • Palm T/X will still not turn on after replacing bad battery! Help!

       Have had this Palm T/X since December '07 and when it was working I had absolutely no problems or issues.  One day at work, I noticed that it felt unusually hot in my pocket and found that it had been switched on accidently and who knows how long it had been running.  I had to hit reset to get it to respond and turn off.   Got home to recharge it and it has never turned on since.  That was about 8 months ago. 
       I took it in to a reputable dealer and had the battery changed.  The tech related to me that the old battery was shorted out and non functional.  Unfortunetly even with the new battery and sitting on the charger for hours it is not responding to the power switch nor to any attempt at a hard or soft reset.  What can cause this?  Is my T/X dead forever?  Now this was a gift so I'm not afraid to invest in some replacement parts, I just need to appeal to those more knowledgable to brainstorm some other potential injuries!  Thank you in advance for your time and suggestions!
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    I would suggest you talk with the reputable dealer about the problem - it sounds like the problem lay deeper than just the battery!
    From this side of the computer screen, we have no way of telling what went wrong!
    Water damage, physical damage from being dropped/flexed, plugged into a higher voltage than recommended, we just can't guess, sorry!

  • My daughter's ipod touch got hot while charging and will no longer turn on.

    My daugther's ipod touch got hot and will no longer turn on.  Is there a solution to this problem or is the ipod fried?

    I'm not sure if it's fried or not, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds or so. Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.

    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)

    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTunes and plug (very important)
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
