My Ipod wont turn on no matter what i try!

My ipod is a 1st generation iPod touch. I've tried everything! (Holding the wake button & The Home button, charging it, etc.) Nothing will help! Please send me suggestions!

Try:

If not successful, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My ipad wont backup. No matter what I try, it simply wont backup. Keeps rebooting.

I already deleted the mobilesync folder, deleted some of my apps to make free space (11gb of free space now), restarted the ipad, my macbook, and attempted many of the so called "solutions" and still got nothing. My device is not jailbroken, is running 4.2.1 and my itunes is 10.2.2. Cant seem to backup no matter what.
Any (other) ideas how to fix this?
Thank you

Then I assume that you read the link that Carolyn posted and tried to log in on the Mac with a different user account and that didn't work. I've Googled this over and over for some time tonight and I'm sure you have as well and can come up with nothing else.
Did you try Settings>Reset>Reset All Settings? Not sure that would help at all but that sticks out from my reading tonight somewhere. If you do that - reboot your iPad before you try to backup again.
I wish I had another idea for you but I am down to thinking try Express Lane Support. I would hesitate to restore because you have no backup to restore from and you would have to go back to factory settings. Express Lane couldn't hurt but I'm not sure they would help either. If you've had the iPad for less than 90 days you can get free phone support from Apple. If you are close to an Apple Store an appointment at the Genius Bar might be a good idea as well.
Quick Edit - the other poster solved his issue by reading that link in the thread that I gave you. I know you said you read the thread but did you go to the link, read the article and try those steps?

IPad will not turn on no matter what I try

I have an older iPad first generation, which I bought used a little while ago, and it has always worked fine up until today. I had just used it yesterday, battery was nearly full when I put it away on my desk, then when I picked it back up off my desk to use it today it was dead. The thing is completely unresponsive no matter what I do to it. I have tried plugging it into the wall charger, plugging it into the computer, using the on/off button and menu button simultaneously to hard start it, and I tried plugging it into iTunes with the menu button held down to do the restore thing...nothing. It's all of a sudden completely dead. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on what to do next?

Take it to your local Apple retailer.

IPod won't turn on no matter what I try!!

Maybe a couple days ago, I noticed that my iPod wouldn't turn on, even if I toggled the hold switch or held down menu. I know it should be charged, since I have a home iPod dock where I keep it charged. I then plugged it into my computer with the USB cord, but my computer didn't even acknowledge that the iPod was connected. I have used two different USB ports, and still nothing. Please, ANY IDEAS?!

Firstly, sorry for my poor English, but I would like to share with you my experience, and hope that it may helps you.
Since the release and update of iTunes 7, I have not faced any problem, but I heard a lot of articles from this forum about the errors 1417, 1418, 1428 and 50 etc. I could not make any suggestion and find a solution about it, all I could do is to copy some threads from some successful cases mentioned on this forum.
Until yesterday, I finally received a 4th Gen 20GB iPod (around 2 years old)from a friend and asked me whether I could fix it for him, which has been left untouched as a paper-weight for almost 2 months.
I tried to turn it on, and the screen was completed blank and the device looked dead. Before doing anything I prepared the following:-
1. A window based PC
2. A Mac computer
3. An USB iPod cable
4. A Firewire iPod cable
5. An iPod AC charger
As the iPod was previously formatted on a PC, therefore I tried to plug it with a PC via USB cable, it did not response and not able to get recognized by the PC. I ejected the iPod and connected with an AC charger, after a few minutes, I did a Reset for the iPod
How to reset iPod
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
The iPod showed an Apple sign, it stuck there for almost a minute, the screen then showed a battery with an exclamation mark sign, and after a minute, the iPod turned off itself. I was sure that the iPod carried very low battery, and could not be charged by connecting it with any computer (both Mac and PC).
I decided to let it have a charge with an AC charger for a bit longer, after 10 minute I did the Reset again, this time a sign of folder with exclamation mark showed up after the Apple sign, and again could not get recognized by a computer.
I changed my mind, and put the iPod into disk mode
Putting iPod into disk mode
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Instead of connecting with a PC, I plug it with my Mac using a Firewire cable, it did not response, so I switched the cable to an USB, interestingly, the iPod got recognized and a window pop up indicating that the iPod needed to do a Restore. Therefore I clicked ìRestoreî, after a few seconds, an Error message pop-up with Error Message 1417, the sign that I have been waiting for quite sometime.
I ejected the iPod and the screen immediately showed a folder exclamation mark (a sign indicating a corrupted or a failure iPod OS). I am forced to put the iPod into disk mode again, connected with the Mac computer and open the Disk Utility
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab ìPartitionî, click either ìDeleteî or ìPartitionî, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab ìEraseî , choose Volume Format as ìMAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the ìSecurity Options....î and choose ìZero Out Dataî before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click ìRestoreî
It managed to complete the Restore process, and started to sync with the iTunes. However, it got stuck at the song no.238 from the total of 2000. I left it for an hour, but with no process, instead the iPod became ìHotî and the iTunes showed an Error message of 1428. I ejected the iPod from my Mac computer, the iPodís screen turn to show the famous killer icon;ìThe Sad iPodì.
This time it was totally dead, even failed to put it into Disk Mode and non of the computer could recognize it. Sigh, I hated to do it but I knew that I must did the following:-
Holding the iPod in my Palm, and hitting it on a surface of a Sofa with 5 attempts.
Did not surprise me, the iPod turned on and it showed the Language Menu on the screen. So, I put it into Disk Mode and connected with my window PC.
The PC showed a sign and indicated that an USB device had been connected with it. I opened the iTunes and did a Restore there.
However, an Error Message 50 showed up, but I were not worried about it, connected it back with my Mac computer with it in Disk Mode. As expected the iTunes opened and allowed me to do a Restore there.
This time it managed to complete the process and a window of register pop up. After the completed the process, the iPod started to sync with the iTunes again, which finally managed to complete the process.
I left it connecting with the AC charger overnight. In the next morning, I switched it on and have a play with it, I am so glad as it is working like a charm.
From the above experience, I would like to share it with the user the following:-
1. It always better to charge with an ac charger instead of the computer, as when an iPod carrying with very low battery, it may not able to get charge from a computer
2. Try to connect the iPod with a computer, switching between USB and Firewire
3. Try to format an iPod with HD problem, with a different kind of computer e.g. Mac or PC, as the formats are totally different, the way it formats may able to solve the bad sectors on the HD
4. It may get better chance to get your iPod recognized, if you put it in Disk Mode
I hope the following works in your case as I did.

Chances are, the phone is still alive, but your LCD has been destroyed. This is kind of like what happened to me, I dropped my iPod Touch from a very high height and then only half of the screen worked. The other half what completely weird like it was like a whole bunch of weird different color lines. It costs a lot to get repairs, but it's worth it. Good luck

IMac shut down and will not turn on no matter what I try...help!

I am hoping that someone can help me. I have a 20", 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac that was purchased late 2007. A few days ago, it shut down on it's own during normal computer use and it won't turn back on since.
I have searched through the boards and most people recommend resetting the SMC, SMU and pulling out/placing back in the memory. I have tried all of those as well as using a brand new power cord but none have worked. I have also seen recommendations to reset the PRAM but since the computer has to be on to do that, unfortunately, I can't try it.
Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

Hi and welcome.....
I have also seen recommendations to reset the PRAM but since the computer has to be on to do that
Not sure where you found that information but that is not the case. The Mac must be shut down in order to reset the PRAM. Follow the instructions here...

Screen does nothing. D: I have tried removing the battery.Hard resetTaking out the battery but leaving in the AC adapter Please help, I do everything on this laptop. I have a TouchSmart (HP) Notebook - 15-r137wmHere is a screenshot

Hi , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP TouchSmart Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset.
When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
Here is a link to computer won't start for Windows 8. Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

My ipod mini wont turn on at all no matter what i try

I've tried toggling the hold button while holding down the menu and select buttons, and i've tried a few other things that i have been told to in the situation that my ipod wont turn on, but none of them will work. right now it's hooked up to the usb cable on my computer, and it has been for the last couple days. i think all this might be because ive been too lazy to click eject before i unhook it a couple of times before, but i dont know.

I've tried toggling the hold button while holding down the menu and select buttons
It seems you are not performing the reset correctly. Don't worry about the hold switch...just press and hold menu and select simultaneously for about 6 seconds until you see the Apple logo appear. If you have an AC adapter, plug the iPod into the wall socket using this and then try the reset.
i think all this might be because ive been too lazy to click eject before i unhook it
Bad idea! You should always eject it properly or you risk corrupting the hard drive...it would be a shame to have to fork out for another iPod just because of laziness!

My iPod Touch won't start no matter what I try. For a while it wasn't being used and when I tried it wouldn't turn on. I tried charging it thinking it just might be dead but nothing still. Plugging it into the computer doesn't help neither. Also when Iplug it in iTunes does not open up like if it's responding to a device. I've tried the holding down the home botton and power down for seconds but again nothing.
