- 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.

Ipod wont turn on any more than the apple symbol

I have had my ipod for about 4 1/2 months. My music began to shut off randomly. I would be playing music and i would just stop and go to my home screen. I then proceeded to turn off my ipod. I figured that if i turned it off then back on it would maybe start to work. I turned it off and went to turn it back on and it went to the apple symbol screen and was stuck. The ipod turns it self off after about 1 minute after i attempt to tun it on. I have tried charging it and having it plugged in but nothing seems to work. Please Help.

Have you tried reset?

If itunes recognizes it, then you can try a restore.

Ipod wont turn off

Was very happy with the Ipod Touch until a recent problem occurred. Appreciate any assistance. The Ipod Touch will not turn off - If I leave it for the designated 1 min till sleep occurs it continuously attempts to turn itself back on displaying the start up apple logo. If turned off completely the Ipod touch still attempts to turn itself back on. The issue then is you cannot re-start the Ipod without connecting to a computer. The system all functions normally then until again sleep (or attempted sleep) comes about. Have tried restoring settings - no luck. Remove all content and restore settings - no luck. tried restoring via I tunes hard core style - still no luck. Have latest software installed as well. Appreciate any advice anyone can offer.
Thanks

Took the Ipod Touch to the Apple Genius (????) If a genius is required what does that say about their software and products. Anyway - end result was the Ipod Touch does'nt turn off b/c of faulty off button. Genius!
So replacement model is forth coming.
Thanks for the tips and advice. Hopefully next version wont have issues.

How can i get my contacts from textfree app if ipod wont turn on

Can i get my contacts from textfree app on my pc if ipod wont turn on?

If iTunes does not see the iPod then:
- See if you can extrac themn from an existing backup
iPhone Backup Extractor for Windows and Mac
- Restore an iPod 2G or later, iPhone 3G or later or an iPod from existing biPod backup. The apps have to be in the iTunes library in order to have a place for the app data to go.

IPod wont turn on or update after iTunes 7, please help

It's a 2004, 20gb iPod with click-wheel. A friend gave it to me, if I can try to repair it. Apparently it died after installing iTunes 7. The iPod wont turn on or respond to anything. The only time it does is when its connected to a computer. At first iTunes reported that the iPod is corrupted and needs to be restarted. And when it turns on, theres an icon with an exclamation mark and an URL pointing me to Apple's support. At first i tried with various older firmware files and I got the messega that there was an error formatting the ipod. iTunes 7 gave a 1418 or 1429 error at the end of the updating process.
I tried with resetting it, putting it in the disk mode and then erasing and/or partitioning it with Disk utility and it was always the same. I tried unplugging all the other devices when updating, just like recommended. Again nothing worked.
Here comes the peculiar part:
Then I did a complete erase, writting zeros over the whole disk in Disk utility. It took ages and then finally stopped with an error just before finishing. After that I can update my iPod just fine with iTunes 7, I can even name it again and start adding songs(it takes forever for just one song). Even older updaters say its fine. But after unplugging it from the computer its still dead and it still displays the error icon. All that got me so confused.
I find it hard to believe that a hardware error suddenly appeared just after installing iTunes 7 and I am really hoping for any help I could get because I dont want to give up on it just yet. Thanks.

IPod wont turn on or give any light signal

I started using my iPod yesterday and it was working fine... Now my ipod wont turn on, it doesnt give any light signal even if its connected to the PC , and unlocked... But its not my PC's problem, cause my friend's ipod works very nice in my PC... So... What's wrong? :S

If this doesn't work and your still under warranty I would suggest sending it in
for replacement.
You said all your music disappeared before connecting to your computer so I don't think the problem is there. The fact that it doesn't turn on at all may just be a symptom of a depleted battery or your iPod simply died.
Good luck!

Plz Help... My iPod wont turn on...

ok heres the problem... today I wake up all happy and stuff but when I go to pick up my iPod to listen to music it wont turn on. it just shows the sad iPod icon and a link to support. I already tried the 5 steps and trying to startup in diskmode. it just shows the low battery sign. i have tried everything apple tells me to do so do u people have any suggestions?

Hello,
This is definetely an issue with your iPod's hard drive. It may need to be replaced. but before that, try these links:
iPod won't turn on
iPod displays a sad iPod icon
iPod displays a folder icon with an exclamation point
Exclamation point and folder/The Sad iPod icon (post)
iPod's battery will not charge
iPod battery frequently asked questions
If these things didn't solve the issue, it may very well be that you will need to get your iPod's hard drive replaced.
I hope this helps!

Ipod wont turn on all i see is the apple sign then my ipod shuts off again, how to fix it?

ipod wont turn on all i see is the apple sign then my ipod shuts off again, how to fix it?

Connect it to itunes, and see if itunes recoginizes it.
If not, then hold home and the power button to do a soft reset.
If not, then you will need to go into recovery mode.
To get into recovery mode you need to Hold Power + Home at the same time. After it goes blank, continue holding the home button while releasing your finger from the Power Button.
You should be able to do it. Otherwise, you may need to send your Ipod in for repair.
NOTE - Using recovery on your Ipod will erase all data and reset all settings.
