My iPod won't turn on, won't charge, and isn't recognized by the PC. Help please?

I got a classic not too long ago from someone else and I tried turning it on yesterday but it wouldn't come on, so I tried plugging it in the car charger, but still nothing. Today, I tried the wall charger and nothing. I tried the USB and nothing and realized the PC wasn't even noticing it was there. I have my old nano and it is recognized and charging by all the ways the Clasic isn't so I'm completely lost and need some serious help please!

Ipod Shuffle won't turn on or charge and isn't recognized by the computer

My Ipod shuffle won't charge and isn't recognized by the computer , it turned orange than stopped and won't charge or turn on since. Does anybody has a solution please ?

I have exactly the same problem with both my ipod shuffles. That suggests to me that it is a problem with the ipods rather than my PC or computer software. I'm surprised that no Apple tech has suggested a solution yet.

My ipod touch 8gb won't turn on, recognize a charge and nothing will pull on up the computer. I have only had it for about 8 months.

- 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.

Ipod NOT turning on, won't reset, won't charge and isn't recognized by PC

I've had my 120 Ipod Classic since the end of 2008. Before I went to bed Saturday, I plugged it in to the USB port to charge overnight while my computer was still on. I wake up Sunday and my ipod is completely dead. It won't charge or turn on. I've tried resetting it and still nothing. I have not seen the screen lit since Saturday night and have no idea what could have happened. Could it be the battery? My computer nor Itunes isn't even recognizing it. I also plugged it into my macbook and again, it's still not recognizing it. What in the world is going on? Four days later and I'm still stumped. PLEASE PLEASE help me.

If you upgraded to Itunes 9, there's the problem.
Itunes 9, unfortunately, corrupts any Ipod Classic that was purchased around a year ago. We haven't really found an exact manufacturing date for the Ipods that are susceptible to corruption.
Sorry, but you're probably out of luck like the other Classic owners out there.

It wouldn't hurt to take it to the nearest Apple store, though.

IPod 5th gen 30gig won't charge and isn't recognized by iTunes

I recently replaced the battery in my iPod 5th gen because I thought that was the problem. This fixed things temporaly and my iPod turned on for this first time in a long time. However, now it won't charge or hook up to the computer. I think this may have been the problem all along.
The charging port seems to be in good condition and pretty clean. I have tried resetting it and resetting it while connected to itunes. I also disconnected and reconnected the new battery. I left it plugged in for sometime but it hasn't charged.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I really have no idea what the problem is at this point.
Thanks

I suspect that you have a completely dead battery.
i got this ipod about a year ago
If you mean 11 months, a battery replacement is under warranty but $30 shipping and handling. If you mean 13 months, a battery replacement is $59 + $7 shipping.

Blackberry Z10 (SLT100-2) won't startup, no blinking red light and isn't recognized by PC

but my phone got no connection to wallcharger, pc cable even any fully charged battery.
can you guys please help me out!!!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs. If it fails, then redo it but increase the wait time in step 4 to 2 hours, and perhaps 4-5 hours.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

IPod Nano, 2nd Generation. Does Not Charge, and Is Not Recognized

I have Posted: Aug 8, 2007 3:54 PM , but no replies. Also I see a certain user (Jeff) massively repeating posts.
Please help, my friends have got me an 2GB silver Ipod Nano, it goes through the whole routine on my friend's computers, they even put music into it for me, but when I connected it to my computer, the display says its fully charged (green plug inside battery) instead of charging (thunderbolt)!
I did everything, EVERYTHING, they asked online, from resets, reboots, getting latest vs. of iTunes, restarted over 10 times, switched from USB Normal and USB 2.0 ports repeatedly, followed both the tech support automated and live, then (as they asked) searched for a few hours to find the correct drivers, and installed everything I could for my VIA chipset, and it still doesnt work.
I remember one of (the call dropped initially) the tech support guys saying something about USB spor.inm
Still can't find it.
I need to upload my music and be able to charge my iPod on my own computer! Please help!

I have the exact same problem, and nothing works. When I plug it into computer, it's recognized, it syncs, and it plays while connected. As soon as I disconnect, it's dead. I've charge it overnight, I've let it drain overnight, I've plugged it into a charger with same result, I've used it on two different computers. HELP

My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now won't turn on or even charge. Any ideas?

My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now the ipad won't turn on or even charge. I still have all the packaging and receipt as proof. Any ideas why? Purchase was over a year ago, so I can't get Apple help on the phone.

Try moving and wiggle the devise if that works the port or the tip of the charger is Brocken if the wire is an apple chatter made by Apple it should not I give your problems I've it in a forren ore different manufacturer that could be the problem apple suggest all apples devises should all ways charges and sync with an apple manufactured charger for the best proformance don't try other doggy chargers made from other manufactures.
Hope this works

My iPod touch won't turn off. I tried and the turn off slide button in stuck in the of position, but it's still not turning off. It's been a few days please help!!!!

My white 4th generation iPod touchs turn of slide button is stuck on off but my iPod won't turn off for some reason and it only shuts off when the battery dies. It's been stuck like this for some time. Please please please help!!!!

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Hello CournteyGould3,
Congratulations on your new Apple TV! I found an article with steps you can take when your remote app can't connect to the Apple TV. I recommend following the steps in the article below (you can skip any steps you have already taken):
