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

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

  • My iPhone has just turned off and I knew it had about 50% charge. Now it won't charge, turn on or do anything when I plug it into my mac. Can anyone help?

    Would be very grateful if someone can help me out ?

    @JamesStacey - Paulcb is right.  You should try to to a reset as he suggested. I had this problem with my new iPhone 4S a couple weeks ago. It just shut down without warning and I couldn't get it to start again.  I tried repeatedly to do a reset and I kept releasing the sleep and home buttons after about 15 seconds and nothing was happening. 
    I finally decided to see what would happen if I held the buttons down longer.  I held them for over a minute, possibly over 90 seconds, I wasn't counting but I know it was definitely over a minute, and finally the apple logo appeared, my phone reset and it was fine. 
    I'm not sure if this is a glitch with the OS, the hardware, a combination of the two or possibley even a combination of the OS, hardware and one or more of the apps I have on my phone.
    But just to let you know this only happened once and there was no loss of data, files, apps, photos, music etc.

    If it never worked after the screen replacement then it would appear that you have a hardware problem either caused by the repair or the problem that lead to the screen replacement.

    I've tried that. It doesn't work. The only thing that happens is the apple comes up. I've tried holding the home as I'm plugging it in and keeping it held for a few minutes, but nothing happens. My iTunes doesn't even read that it's connected.

  • I dropped my iPhone 5c and it wont turn on but its constantly vibrating. I have tried holding the home and lock screen for a long time but nothing has happened. How can I fix this?

    I dropped my iPhone 5c and it wont turn on but its constantly vibrating. I have tried holding the home and lock screen for a long time but nothing has happened. How can I fix this?

    You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get it serviced/replaced. You broke it. If you can't even force a reboot, there's nothing much more you can do.

  • I accidentally put my itouch 4th generation in the washer, so i took my itouch apart and dried it but now the screen is black but my itouch still makes a sound when i plug it in. what should i do?

    so i accidentally washed my itouch and i took it apart and dried it but now the screen is black, i restored it but it still doesn't work but it makes a sound when i plug it in like it normally would. please help me

    Yu can try the suggestions here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Was the restore successful?
    If so I conclude thay the washing damaged something and servie is required. Ormaybe you damaged something when you took it apart/put it back together.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

    I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

    I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
    Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
    Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
    Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
    I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
    Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
    Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
    The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
    Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
    Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want.
