My ipod wont connect/charge and is stuck on the home screen while trying to update it

i tried to update it not realizing i needed to connect to itunes so it was on the screen to connect to itunes all day during school til i got home and it wouldn't update so i restored it 5 times and then it wont charge/ connect  or restore at all

If there is no passcode on the device, then try making a backup to iTunes.  Once you have the backup (or if it's passcode locked and you can't make a backup), then use iTunes to restore the device to factory settings.  You may have to use Recovery Mode to do so if there's a passcode on the device (alternatively if you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use icloud.com to remote wipe the device).
Once it's erased, see if you can set it up as new, and test the touch display.  If the touch display is still non-responsive after it's been set up as new, then your device has a hardware failure and needs to be serviced or replaced. If you are still within warranty with Apple, it should be a free replacement.  If not, then expect to pay $199 USD + tax for a replacement.

    Connect the charger and let it charge for at least 30 minutes before you try to turn it on. Then let it charge  untill full. The iPhone (or iPad) need at least a little charge before you can turn it on.

  • Why does my iPod keep crashing and get stuck on the apple screen?

    My iPod has crashed and gotten stuck on the apple screen multiple times now, I think three or four times. I take really good care of it and charge it alot. It's a generation 5 32 gig, but I have no idea how to fix it! I really want to save my pictures and contacts and whatnot so it is really annoying when it happens!!! Any help would be considered! Thankyou for any input!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    My ipod touch is stuck on the home screen, will not respond. Displays a gray background with the ipod logo, sliders are unresponsive. Bottom slider displays many different languages, none of them english. Maybe a virus or malware?? Restoring with itunes does not work, neither does holding down the home/sleep buttons to reset.

    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 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.

  • Two Macbook pros circa 2009 in our temporary household in Turkey suddenly failed to boot and got stuck on the grey screen. They were able to boot at the Apple store, but not when we brought them back to our apartment. Could this be a coincidence?   A

    THank you Ogelthorpe. When my wife's computer I went on line to the site that you sent and tried everything But nothing worked. When my son came to visit and his MacBook Pro did exactly the same thing we became suspicious - too much of a coincidence. We took both computers somewhere else, out of our apartment, and they both booted. We ran disk utility on both, but the report in both cases was that there are no issues with the hard drive.  Back in our apartment neither will boot up. My MacBook Pro is a later model with a solid state drive and it seems to work fine here.. I tried an external drive and it works fine. We think that this has something to do with some kind of magnetic interference in our apartment to which the 2009  drives are susceptible.  It is indeed a mystery!

  • I bought an ipad from a friend but he doesnt know his apple id and password and is stuck at the activation screen what do i have to do to get it unlocked

    i bought an ipad from a friend but he doesnt know his apple id and password and is stuck at the activation screen what do i have to do to get it unlocked

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. Are you sure the "friend" who sold you this iPad was the primal owner? If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to "your friend" and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • Suddenly the apps I downloaded won't work. The screen "blinks" for a second as if the app is loading, and then returns to the home screen. All the apps that came with the iPod seem to be working fine. How to get them all working again?

    Suddenly the apps I downloaded won't work. The screen "blinks" for a second as if the app is loading, and then returns to the home screen. All the apps that came with the iPod seem to be working fine. How to get them all working again?

    First try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If still no luck, try downloading another free app from the App Store.

    Lastly, try to restore the iPod from a previous backup or restoring it to factory settings.

    put the phone in DFU mode (do a search for how to do this) and restore to the latest firmware. you may have to download the firmware from apple and when selecting restore or update in itunes press the shift key and select the firmware.
    Hope this helps
