my ipod isnt turning on but it still makes a noise when i plug it into the charger can anyone help me?

Hey there cameronw99,
It sounds like you are unable to see your iPod Touch screen, as it stays black but it makes the connection tone when you plug in the USB cable. Use these steps to resolve the issue with the iPod from the following article:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
chttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

My iPod wont turn on but still makes noises

Dear Apple,
I have recently bought an apple iPod touch 4G. I lost it for about a month. When I found it I put it on the charger. It made the "ding" as normal when you plug it in. Later I tried to turn it on but the screen appeared black. I tried restarting (hold top button, and home button) it, resetting it with iTunes and looked up information on google. Nothing appears to work and I need the iPod beforeJuly 9th, because I have to go to Florida. Please help me with this issue as it will be highly appreciated.
Thank you for reading my email.

I tried to hold the sleep button and the center button together but it will just turn the ipod off.

Try:

IPod touch turns on but won't connect or charge

I have a 1st gen iPod touch that has suddenly stopped charging and won't connect to my iMac even though I can turn the iPod on and use it without any problems.
When plugged in via USB it won't mount or connect to iTunes. I tried this via my USB hub and also directly into the back of my iMac. Both the hub and USB port worked with other devices plus I used two different USB cables as well so the problem is with any of those.
The charging indicator also doesn't appear when I have it plugged it. I even tried it using a Firewire cable into a wall charger. I also tried connecting to my Mac using that Firewire cable and still no luck charging or connecting.
The connectors must shot on the iPod, it is a 1st gen after all. I just want to make sure I've tried everything to get it back in working order.
The other thing is that if the connection is shot how can I go about fully wiping the iPod before recycling it if I can't connect to my Mac?
Thanks.

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.

I have had my iPhone about 1 1/2 years...with no problems. About 2 days ago my battery drained within an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it heated up so hot the temperature warning popped up on the screen. The phone will not hold a charge now.

I have had my iPhone 4 for about 1 1/2 years, with no problems. A couple days ago the battery drained in about an hour, I plugged it in to charge and it was not charging. After a few hours a message popped up on the screen about the temperature being too hot...the phone was very hot when I picked it up. The battery will not hold a charge and it heats up every time I plug it in. Suggestions???

Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement is $149. It sounds like it may have gotten wet.

My ipod wont turn on. i thought it was just dead, but i left it in the charger for about 4 hours and it still wont turn on. what should i do?

That symptom is coverd here:

My iphone has a black screen and wont turn on, but still has vibrations. How can I fix it?

My iphone wont turn on but still has functions, how do I fix it?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:

Dropped my ipod down the toilet! it wont turn on but it charges...

I dropped my ipod down the toilet about a week ago, and put it in a bag of rice for a few days straight away. I put my ipod on charge when i took it out, because it turned off when it was in the toilet and my lock button doesnt work so that is the only way it would turn on. it didn't turn on, but it still charges, as i can feel it overheating. any help on how to turn it back on? Will it ever come back on? Thanks.

If not dry then dry in a sealed container of desiccant like uncooked rice and periodically change the rice.
Do not charge or use until dry. Your iPod may be permenently damaged by trying to use it when still wet.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4GS. They do not fix yours.
