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.

    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 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

  • 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?

    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.
    - 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.

  • Could this be the battery?

    I have an 8300 Curve approximately 1 1/2 years old.  Every few days I will go to use the unit and find it completely dead.  If I take out the battery and put it back in the phone reboots and works fine... until the next time that it goes dead.  It also "dies" sometimes in the middle of a call.  I use it mostly as a PDA and do not make very many calls with it.  I'm hoping that it could be the battery but am reluctant to buy a new one to find out, as they aren't cheap.  Opinions please.
    Thanks in advance... Bob

    If you don't want to buy another one then I not really sure what else you can try. Other than borrowing a spare from someone to test it out.

  • 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!

  • 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.

Help would be appreciated.

  • 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.

  • My IPOD will no longer accept  a charge. Not sure why. It is not the charging cord--we tested onmy wife's IPOD could it be?

  • My ipod will no longer connect to itunes

    My ipod will no longer connect to itunes except for while it is restarting. However once I get to my log in password it disconnects. Also my computer does not seem to recognize my ipod yet it still manages to charge it even though it is not recognized. I have tried unistalling itunes/ installing it again. I can't seem to reset my ipod, and I have turned off my firewall and disabled my anti virus. Nothing seems to work and I am losing my patience. This just happened out of no where. Does anyone have any suggesting about what I could do?

    May somebody please help me?

  • Ipod will no longer charge on docking station or car dock
