My iPodTouch wont respond to car Sserio,iHome,or computer,only charger

I recently bought songs from my ipod touch (1st gen.)but now i can't get the songs off of the ipod to put them in my library on my computer because the ipod wont respond when i plug it into the multiple USB ports on my computer.
It wont respond when i plug it into my truck sterio, _which has a plug specially for the ipod_, or even my ihome.
the wierd part is that it accepts charge from the apple charger which is the same thing as the USB for my computer, the plug for my truck, and the plug on the ihome.
What the heck is wrong with 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.
- 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.

    Hi mikemikenation,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 5s.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Take care,

  • HELP! My iMac wont respond to install disc or any commands

    I know I'm taking a trip in the "Way back" machine. But I'm pretty resourseful and haven't been able to find my problem. Either I need a Mac super genius or it’s something stupid simple that I’m overlooking.
    Specs:
    iMac G4 Serial# XXXXXXXX Sep. 2003 – July 2004
    1.25GHZ/ 256MB/ 80GB 17” Screen
    PowerPC 7445
    History: I bought this used with the computer’s monitor backlight out. I could still barely see the sign-in page when I looked at a certain angle, so that was an indicator to me that the OS was working. So I replaced the monitor. At the same time because of owner exchange I had to replace the hard drive with a fully wiped blank one (Deskstar ATA/IDE). I purchased an install disc set 10.4.8, which according to Apple this computer is compatible with 10.2.3 thru10.5.8.
    Problem: After reassembly, the replacement monitor works fine. But the system won’t respond to anything. All I get is the gray screen with the apple smiley face folder that alternates with a question mark. It won’t respond to the install disc, or any commands for that matter. Of course I double, triple, and quadruple checked my connections from reassmebling. Here’s what I’ve attempted, all ending up with the same screen display.
    During power-up
    C (…of     course to boot from the install disc. It just ejects the disc after about     30 seconds)
    CMD-OPT-SHIFT-DEL
    D (wont     respond to hardware test)
    CMD-S     (won’t go into single user mode. It just goes to the same gray screen)
    OPT (this     is the only way I get a different screen. It shows the recycle page symbol     and continue symbol. It will recycle the OPT process to stay on this     screen, but it won’t continue if I press that selection – nothing happens
    I’ve reset the PRAM
    I’ve tried different keyboards (all Apple)
    I’ve tried plugging the keyboard into different USB slots
    I’ve replaced the Hard Drive with yet another just in case. I’ve tried alternate jumper settings on the hard drive. The original wasset to “Cable”, so I set it to that. But I also tried “Master” jumper settings– no change in results. I can’t say for certain that I hear the DVD/CD drive spin up. But I figure even if I had a bad install disc or bad optical drive, I should still be able to get to the black screen single user mode, yes?  So I’m at my wits end. Can any of you Mac geniuses out there please help me? Thanks
    <edited by Host>

    Install discs are specific to the machine they came with.  You cannot use them on any other machine, so the ones you bought are useless.  Buy a retail black faced copy of either Tiger or Leopard and you should be able to boot your machine, you need to format the drive as Mac OS extended (Journaled) when you first boot from the new retail disc.
    I have also asked that your serial number be removed, it's not a good idea to post it.

  • Brand new out of box IPAd 3 middle of the screen is dead wont respond to touch

    setting up my iPad the middle of the screen wont respond havent got past password setup as I made a mistake and the continue button is in the middle of the screen and wont respond
    Had the same problem with setting the country up as it was in the middle scrolled it up or down the screen it was selectable but any other country in the middle was also unresponsive
    have powered down a few times and still the same lucky we have an Apple store nearby cant do a reset either as I cant get far enough into the setup to get connected to my pc!!

    Make sure iPad's battery is charged above 20% (we would recommend at least 50 - 60 %). If you are not sure charge you tablet for at least 40 minutes.
    Make sure your Apple tablet is in Power On state.
    Watching the shining screen of iconic tablet with apps' icons on it press and hold down the Wake/Sleep and the Home buttons simultaneously, ignore the red slide "to power off", just keep both buttons holding until the Apple logo appears. This logo is the signal that the hard reset has succeeded. Be patient, some times the hard restart of iPad may take up to 10 - 15 minutes. But such a long restart is a rare case.

  • Itunes wont respond after using Windows 7 Phone Connector

    I have a Zune and recently found that you can use that to sync the Zune with your MAC. I used it and it seemed to work at first (it synced all my itunes songs onto my Zune) but when I imported all my songs from my Zune it messed up my Itunes. Everytime I open it (even after force closing it and restarting my computer) it wont respond. It opens but the mouse turns into the loading icon and I cant click on anything. Any Ideas? I thought it may be just the amount of music I tried to import (I have about 30GB).

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)

  • I have a new 32gb ipod 4 that has a black screen and wont respond to reset.  The screen shows no response to the charger either.  How can I get it to turn on?

    I have a new 32 gb ipod 4 that has a blcak screen.  It wont respond to a hard reset, nor does it acknowledge that it is being charged.  It was not dropped or damaged in any way. We are out of the country.  Help

    First, let's make sure that what you call a "hard reset" is a true system Reset...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
