My ipod won't turn on, it's completely dead. So i charged it and it still will not turn on. I've even pluged it into my computer it still will not charge.

How do I get my iPod 5th generation to turn back on? It's completely dead, I've left it on the charger for more than 5 hours that didn't work. So I tried the lock button and home button trick that didn't work either, I've even plugged it into my laptop and my laptop says "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." it also says "Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognize it, your device may not be working properly" and I reconnected my iPod and it still won't turn on PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- 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.

HELP! Ipod won't turn on, isn't showing up in iTunes or computer!

I finally got iTunes 8 to install today (yeah!) and bought some stuff for my new iPod Nano 8GB (previously had a 2GB 2nd Gen) Some games and music videos. Worked beautifully. When I hooked it up to my computer to add one more game before I left (last minute purchase lol) iTunes said a newer version was available for my iPod, did I want it to install. I said yes, and now it won't work. At all. It won't turn on at all, hooked up to my computer or not, it isn't recognized anywhere on my computer. If I uninstall iTunes to re-install, will I lose my library? Will that even help? I can't do the five R's, cuz the thing won't turn on! What happened??? I need help

brand new ipod less than 2 months old, occasionally it will crash and the apple logo would come up or the songs would skip but as soon as i turned it off and on it would be fine. today i tried to use it but it wouldnt turn on so i assumed it was flat, plugged it in to my speaker dock, nothing, plugged it into 2 computers and nothing, what can i possibly do to fix it?

IPod Touch lost all its charge in standby over 2 days please help!

Ok, how in the heck could this have happened? It was at roughly 80% charge when I left it on my table on Friday evening, now its Sunday evening, I turn it on and it's got like 1% battery, its not even funny, it was a VERY thin red line (the battery)
so how the HECK could this have happened? Could I have accidentally left it playing music? I mean, when I was walking home maybe a snowflake or two got on the screen but that couldn't have caused it. Please help, I am very worried, should I contact apple before my 90 days expire?
By the way, this has NEVER happened before
EDIT: I will fully charge it and leave it in standby overnight, if it loses like 50% battery, then I'll know to return it
QUESTION: is the battery life really gonna suck now because I let the battery drain so much? I mean, it can't be good for the battery to go to 0%, anyways, I really hope not...
EDIT AGAIN: I just came to realization...it was like -3 degrees Celsius (26.5 F) and the ipod was in my jean pocket....maybe that's the reason? but it couldn't be, because the ipod would have time to warm up again inside my house, anyways, just a thought.
EDIT AGAIN: crap...I hope I didn't get condensation on it...

mine discharges quickly when it is at home too. I suspect it is because of the WiFi.
When at home it connects to my home network and downloads mail etc... therefore it's not sat doing nothing.
If I leave it in the boot of the car (where it can't connect to WiFi) the battery doesn't lose its charge.
Therefore, I suggest, you turn off the WiFi and give it a go.

My iPod will not turn on after interrupted iOS 6 update. Please Help!

I need help with my iPod Touch 4th Generation! It was in the morning and I was getting ready for school, and I saw my iPod needed the iOS 6 update. So I updated it, and when it was installing (showing that bar) I accidently was late, and took my iPod with me. I left the Wifi Area and now when it turns on the apple logo darkens and then it goes to a greyish blueish screen. Sometimes when it turns on the apple logo darkens and then goes to the same screen with a bunch of lines across it. What happened, and how do I fix it? If I turn it off it turns on by itself and then does the same as above. Please help me!

Try doing a DFU restore in iTunes: http://appletoolbox.com/2010/07/using-dfu-restore-to-solve-iphone-problems/

Should I return my iPod touch? And If I do return mi iPod Touch, will I get charged for getting a new one? The problem is that my iPod won't turn on, it only shows the apple icon, then immediately shuts off. I have a 1 year guarantee, a

My Year Guarantee Ends In Early April, and my iPod is in great physical condition.
I have not dropped it or anything!

IPod won't turn on/charge after being inside my cold car

i left my ipod in my car and it was a cold day, about 41-45 degrees Fahrenheit outside. when i came back (it was about 4 and a half hours because i was at work), it wouldnt turn on. i thought i left my ipod on and it died from low battery. so i take it back home and plug in the charger...no response. i sit on it for awhile to warm it up and then plug it back in but no response. is my ipod actually dead? what can i do to replace/exchange it if it is dead?

I've left my iPod in my car before in below freezing overnight and it usually does take a while to warm up. You might have gotten water in it from condensation. Leave it alone and unplugged for a day or two then try resetting it with the center and menu button. Mine will occasionally crap out in the cold and that's what I have to do. If it happens again you might want to wrap your ipod in the outside of your coat so it warms slower. Drastic temp changes can warp metal.

My iPod touch 5th Gen iOS 8.1 won't turn on, charge and CONNECT TO iTUNES. Maybe this is because of the new release ios 8.1 where after the update it went recovery mode then i didn't restore, i set up a new ipod. What's wrong? Is ths bcoz of ios 8.1?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Mini Ipod won't turn on! Reset not working! Help!

I had not charged my ipod since I was away from home. Got home and plugged the USB into the Ipod. Next morning, noticed the Ipod blinking the apple sign and it would not turn on. I let the Ipod drain for 2 days. Now it's no longer blinking the Apple sign when I plug in the USB, but now it will show any sign of life at all. When USB plugged, I hear a soft beeping noise from the Ipod. Tried resetting Ipod holding Menu and Select for 6-10 seconds several times, no luck. Tried updating the Ipod, but it's not recognizing Ipod when it's plugged in (It says to plug in Ipod, when it already is plugged in). I restarted PC 2x and plugged USB into all three different ports. USB ports working since I can transfer pictures from my digital camera using the USB ports. HELP! What else can I try before I take into an Apple store? I didn't pruchase it at Apple, rather, I purchased it at Circuit City less than 6 months ago. I can't go through the service on line since it's not recognizing my serial number.

thanks!! i tried that this past weekend and i thought it worked. i didn't get home yet so i couldn't update my ipod. so i attempted to use it. it worked for awhile and then during some songs it will say the battery is dead and die on me. i tried resetting it but it didn't work. it was fully charged, and now it won't turn on. this time, no blinking apple sign, but when i plug it in to my usb, it makes that same sound. i don't have an ac charger and used my sisters. so now, i guess i have to try again? any other ideas? they are greatly appreciated!

IPod won't turn on, won't appear in windos or itunes. What's broken?

Pacient: 30gb video ipod
Age: 1 year
Symthoms: kinda dead...out of the blue! This ipod never moved in the last 1 year. it stayed in one fixed place, connected to the charger 27/7 and one day, it just stopped!
I tried as many of the R's as i could. I drained the battery (or i think i did), i charged it over night (if it charges)...nothing!
Won't restart (even though i hear/feel the hard drive spinning), won't be detected by my computer, or by my other computer, or by my friend's mac...
I changed the USB wire, ports, updated windows, iTunes...everything that cand be updated.
Few times i got the message "restore using iTunes" but i can't restore cause i don't see it in iTunes...
Where i live there's no Apple officil store, is out of the guaranty and i don't know what part to change if i decide to fix it myself.
Can anyone help?
Anyone with the same problem?
Thank you
