My ipod wont turn on it only ligths up and thats it

my ipod wont turn on it was working good but now only the screen its blank.

Have you tried resetting the iPod?  To do this press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may or may not work the first time around so be sure to try this more than once.  It might help to have it plugged into an external power source as well.

  • Ipod wont turn on unless I restore it and even if I do it turns off after few hours and wont turn on again unless i restore it again?

    Are you restoring the iPod from a previous back or to factory settings? If you haven't restored to factory settings yet, I would do that next.  And if the problem still continues, it's most likely hardware related, in which case you'll want to schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar to have them take a look at it.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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!

  • My ipod wont turn on also wont charge. Could this possibly be my motherboard? If so, could i get it fixed at what cost?

  • 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.
