My ipod wont turn on and ive alredy tried everthing
my ipod 5 wont turn on and ive tried doing everything
If you're really tried "everything," then throw it away! Otherwise...
Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
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 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. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen 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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software. -
Ipod wont turn on and computer doesn't recognize it
I've had my ipod for two years and never had any problems until four days ago when I unplugged it from my computer after it had finished charging and syncing. I went to plug it into my speakers but noting happened when i hit play. I unplugged the ipod from the speakers to check the ipod but it wouldn't turn on. After trying holding down the power button and the home and power button to no avail, i plugged it back into my computer. The computer didnt recognize it and it didnt show up in my itunes and the ipod started getting really hot in the bottom left corner. I unplugged it to let it cool down, but four days later it still wont turn on and my computer (imac) isnt recognizing it. As if this wasnt bad enough, I borrowed my brothers old chromatic, and used that for a day but it too died when i tried plugging it into the same speakers. And it too isnt being recognized by my computer. I now have two dead ipods and im thinking its because of these killer speakers...are they done for good or can they be saved?
BTW- neither were jailbrokenAfter charging for at least an hour I would try to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
If still not recognized, try placing in DFU mode and restoring.

Last is to make an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I would also not use the speakers until the problem is resolved -

My ipod wont turn on and nothing works! help!!!
My ipod just out of no were just stopped working and I don't know why. I have tried everything including the 5 Rs from the support site and nothing has worked. Everytime I plug my ipod into my computer, the battery symbol will show up and when I hold down the select and menu buttons the apple logo appears after like 6 seconds but then it goes to the sad ipod logo and after that it just turns off. I have repeatedly tried to reset and it just does the same thing over and over again. It goes apple logo to sad ipod logo and then off. I need help on what to do to fix it.
This exact thing happend to my iPod. I was listening to it one day, with a full battery, and it just turned off, and never worked again. I bought the Apple Protection Plan online because mine was out of warrenty. Then I sent it in to get it fixed. This is what I would suggest doing. But make sure there really is something wrong with it... they will charge you if you send it in and only the battery is dead or something. To send it in, go to support, and click on iPod + iTunes support, and on that page, in the first paragraph, there is a link to 'get service'. press that, and then request iPod service online. In a few days they will send you an empty box, and you send your iPod back to them in that same box.

Iphone 4 wont turn on and ive tried everything
So for about two days my phone kept bugging out(apps randoly crashing and then the volume kept going up to max no matter how many times i turned it down) so I tried turning it off and on but it wouldn't turn on. I looked online for help and i have done everything it suggested; charging it, holing the power and home button down to reset it, plugging it into my computer to manually reset it(my computer wouldnt even recognize it), I even called apple support! i just told them that it wouldnt turn on and instead of further questions or tips they said theyd fix it for $130 dollars. but for that price id rather buy a brand new phone (thats not an iphone!) any other things i could try before I buy a new phone?

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit -

Ipod wont turn on and and will not sync to my computer
I was on my Ipod like normal, playing on my games etc. When all of a sudden the screen turned white. I turned my Ipod off and back on and it came up with the page which comes up when you have the Ipod from new (USB connecter pointing towards a disk which say iTunes underneath) . I have tried to sync the device up on iTunes but it comes up with an error message. On iTunes it is also coming up that i need to restore my device. When I click this it comes up saying it needs an update. I try to do the update and when it finishes another error message comes up. Is there anything I can do to stop this happening?
What are the specific error messages? The following **** the common error messages and their resolution:
