New ipod touch doesn't turn on when plugged in

i just bought my ipod touch yesterday. when i plugged it into my imac using the usb cable, it doesn't turn on to show that it's charging like my nano does when it's turned off. i had to turn the touch on before i could see the huge green battery icon. is there something wrong with my ipod touch? i read on other forums that it should 'turn on' to show the battery icon charging when i plug in an ipod that's turned off. i can't find any answers to my question elsewhere.
please help! thanks so much!

Try after being connected to a charging source for at least an hour:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

How do I restore my iPod Touch that only turns on when plugged into the wall?

I found my old iPod Touch 4th generation in my backpack, and my backpack went through the wash, (It shouldn't of been too bad since it was in the side pocket) but it goes dead instantly as soon as I take it out of the wall charger, and it does not turn on when I plug it into my computer. It also has a pass, (That I forget) so I need to restore it. Is it possible to restore it without connecting it to a computer?

No. You have to connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes to restore the iPod.
Did you throughly dry the iPod before you started try to use it?

- 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.

Brand new ipod touch doesn't include 3.0 ???

I just bought a brand new ipod touch 16GB. As soon as I got it hooked up it said it needed as $9.95 software update. Why don't new ipod's come with the most up-to-date software or at least offer it for free?

1G touches came with 1.x.x software installed even after 2.x.x was released so it's no surprise that the 2G touches being sold now still have 2.x.x software installed.
If and when Apple releases a '3G' touch, I'm sure it will have 3.x.x installed.
As to WHY? Nobody here has any connection with Apple and we can only report what we have observed in the past.

My new iPod Touch doesn't want to connect with iTunes.

Before, I had an iPod Nano from the second generation, so it was one of the first iPods on the market. Now I got an iPod Touch for my birthday, but when I plug him in on iTunes it says that there's something wrong with the software. I need to deinstall iTunes and that I have to install the latest version (64 bits). The thing is that I have the latest version. And I've deinstalled and installed iTunes at least 10 times now. I still get the same error.
Oh, and I have a laptop from Asus, so I work with Windows (64 bits).. Maybe that's important, I don't know.
I can't wait to finally put some music on my new iPod Touch, please help..
Thanks!

New ipod touch 5 not turning on

Hello! recently, i have bought a brand new ipod touch 5th generation. i used it for two days and it was working quite well and the next day, my sister took it to her school but it was taken away by the principal since her school is very strict and does not allow devices such as phones and ipods to be brought during a school day. its been a month since it was in school and i got it back today, it was turned off of course because the battery had died, i plugged it in and left it there and the next day i came and found it STILL charging? i pressed the home button and it just showed me that battery logo with a little red in it in the middle of the screen. is this normal or does this mean its not working? please help.

Even being off for a month it should not take a couple days to start to charge...I would take it to an Apple store genius bar for testing.

Ipod touch doesn't turn on, screen shows that it must be connected to itunes.

pod touch doesn't turn on, screen only shows that it must be connected to iTunes. After connecting it and clicking the 'restore', downloaded the software needed to update the device. After all these steps, nothing happened. then the screen suddenly showed the apple logo, then the symbol that shows it must be connected to itunes.. happens again and again.

Maybe here:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

IPod classic won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock; what's up? will it hurt to leave it on all the time?

I bought a new iPod Classic and it won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock. Is this normal and will it hurt the iPod if i leave it on all the time?

Hi there,
How old is your Classic? Often, after a couple of years, rechargable batteries begin to fail, especially after such a long period of inactivity. This happens with any gadget with this type of battery.
Try leaving it plugged in for 24 hours, and try again, to rule out that it isn't just really low on charge. If this doesn't help, it may be a good time to buy a replacement. New iPod Nanos and Touches will be released this October.
Below, I've linked to an Apple website which explains rechargable batteries, and why yours may not be working.
Apple - Batteries
I hope this helps, and I hope upgrading your device will not feel like an unnecessary expense. Let me know if you have any more questions,
Nathan

Help My Ipod touch doesn't turn on!!!

My ipod touch has been working just fine, I've had it since Christmas 2010.But when I charged it over night on a mains charger just like I do every night & this morning when I unplugged it woudn't turn on?! I tried holding down the home/power button for 10 seconds, & it doesn't work! & I haven't spilled any water on it or anything. Also I tried restoring it through itunes on the computer but it dosn't recognise it!!!!!! Does anyone know how to fix this??

After charging it for at least an hour try placing the iPod in recovery mode in order to get iTunes to see the iPod. If unsuccessful try placing it in DFU mode.
For recovery mode see:

Brand new iPod touch will not turn on. Goes straight to dead battery screen.

Hello.
I recently purchased a refurbished iPod touch to develop apps on. I have had the iPod touch for about a week and last night the iPod suddenly shut off in the middle of use. The battery was low so I figured it was simply a dead battery and I went to plug it into the charger. This morning, I tried to turn it back on after about 10 hours of charging and I got the same dead battery plug in charger screen. I then swichted it to a usb slot on my macbook and left it to charge all day for about 9 hours. Again, I turned it on and nothing, just a dead battery screen. Both usb slots on my computer are working completely fine for my other devicesbut not this. I have also tried plugging it into the wall, but I get the same results. One other possibility is that I have the iOS 8 Beta on my phone currently and I have experienced some issues with that, but not enough to brick my device...or at least I thought. I have only had this device for a few days and so far I am very disappointed that this has happened already. If anyone can help me out without having to go to an Apple store for service that would be great!
Thanks

So did you iPod 5th gen worked again? I had similar experience. This is my own iPod (not refurbished), so I know it was
in great condition (I rarely used it but only for dev). I installed iOS8 Beta, and one morning, the screen won't turn on.
I plugged in power and nothing happened. After a few min, I heard that characteristic "power beep" and thankfully,
it came back to live. What I noticed is that I have > 90% power. So whatever happened, it isnt because it's low in
battery.
I have a suspicion it is entirely due to iOS 8 beta. Such a thing never happened to my iPod till the day I installed it.
My theory is that it is doing something busy, or there's a bug in the "waking" mechanism, and become extremely
sluggish to any external input, until it is done with whatever mysterious things it was doing. I am now putting it
in air plane mode whenever i don't need it, and also turn off icloud back up. Hopefully, I don't see this anymore.

2nd generation iPod touch doesn't turn on or respond to anything I've done so far. Any suggestions ???

I have two 2nd generation iPod touch's and both just stopped turning on, they don't respond to anything. I've tried everything I know of (hard resets,soft resets,pluging them to a wall charger and computer) and still haven't made any progress. Does anyone have any more suggestions for me ??
Thanks for your help.

Seeing that your iPod has been through a lot of rough handling, there is a chance that it is at the end of its life. I recommend taking it in to an Apple Store and getting it looked at.
