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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

  • 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?

  • My iPod won't turn on and it makes an eerie beeping noise

    I took it to a Genius Bar yesterday and the iPod was working and today it went to its original state as the day i took it there and they said that it needed to be restored which it did and it was also to be charged for 5 hours, which it did, and they deleted everything in it. A lady blanked it out so it would work and now it doesnt.
    when i put it in a charger(wall & Pc) it wont turn on and go to the pic with the apple on it. I tried reseting it and i cant restore it only at APPLE and I cant do it here on my PC.
    Its not my Pc its on every charger in the apple store and all my friends house.

    - See:

    - 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.

  • My iPod won't turn on and i've done everything

    I was driving and my iPod fell of the dash board and onto the floor, and now it won't turn on. I got an iHome for Christmas and have been using it so I know my iPod is fully charged. I tried connecting it with the USB so I can use it on iTunes and charge it just in case and my computer says it doesn't recognize it. It doesn't appear under devices so I'm unable to restore it.
    I've only had it for alittle over a year, what the heck is wrong?

  • Ipod won't turn back on

    Hi there,
    I have a 30 GB Ipod Movie. I believe it sustained some water damage when i had left it outside in the rain but I am not too certain. I am able to use my ipod normally but whenever i turn it off, it stays off. Well, to be precise, my only option of re-powering it is by restarting it (holding the menu and center button simultaneously). Does anyone know of a way to fix this issue, or must I send it in for repairs?
    Thanks,
    Yariv B

  • IPod  won't turn on and makes funny noises...

    My iPod won't turn on. When I try turning it on it starts making a funny noise, almost like when a cd player tries to read the cd and can't but keeps trying to. Then the apple picture shows up and after a few seconds it goes blank. It is out of warranty and this is a replacement for another one I had that the hard drive crashed on. Sometimes it goes to the "Do not disconnect" screen or the folder and exclamation point screen. How can I get this fixed or is it not worth it? Will Apple replace this one too?
    -Caitlin
    Gateway Notebook   Windows XP  

    It is pretty easy.I called the customers service for the questions.An officer asked me:"Have you ever put some songs into your Ipod?" "Have you ever safely remove youe Ipod form your computer?" I suddenly realized I sometimes did not remove it safely.
    I think you may meet the same problem.What you can do now is to push both the "Wheel" and "Menu",and keep pushing for 6-8 seconds.It will restart,and you will see an apple in the middle of the screen.
    If you have any question,you can e-mail me:[email protected]

  • 1st Generation iPod Won't Turn On

    I have a original 1st generation iPod.  Yes, the one with the scroll wheel and 5gb (wow!) drive.  It doesn't turn on though.  Originally, I suspected a loose connection from the battery to the logic board, but testing with my multimeter shows me the connection is fine.  The iPod doesn't turn on at all.  I tried plugging it into my computer's firewire port and pressing the menu and play/pause button to no avail.
    I have a picture in this post of the iPod - all dead like a brick.  Do any of you have any suggestions?  I am at a brick wall right now and need to find some solution.  Or if any of you know where I can get the iPod repaired or get a cheap logic board replacement?  I can't spend too much though.
    Thanks.
