My ipod won't turn on and my home button doesn't work.

I have a 4th gen 32GB ipod touch. I was sitting on my couch and right after I sent a messege it just shut off and wouldn't turn back on! So on top of my home button being broken iTunes doesn't read it and the ipod won't charge....WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?!?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in 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 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.

  • My iPod (4th generation 64GB) won't turn on and my home button doesn't work.

    I left my phone for a minute or two and when I came back it wouldn't turn on. I know it's fully charged from this morning and my friend told me to turn it on by using the home button and the power button but my home button was already broken from a long time ago.I try plugging it to iTunes and i was able to connect to it. But It still doesn't turn on. What do i do?

  • My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

    Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

    Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

  • My iPod (5th Gen) won't turn on and my home button isn't working?

    Hello! For the past two weeks my home button hasn't been working and since I'm too lazy to go to an apple store I just started using assistive touch instead. But ever since yesterday my iPod won't turn on which I know is a normal problem with as easy fix, to restart the device, but that requires a working home button, which is something I don't have. I've tried using rubbing alcohol to fix the home button but it won't work, if anyone has any other solutions I will be forever grateful!

  • IPod touch 4g won't turn on and my home button is broken

    My iPod touch that I just got last March won't turn on after putting it to "sleep" while I was in class today. My Home Button does not respond that well so I used SBSettings as an alternative. I've encountered this situation before but my Home Button was 100% working back then. I resolved it by holding the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time. Now that my Home Button is broken, I can't fix it anymore. Does anyone know any alternatives on how to fix this?
