- 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 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.

Please help me. ipod touch not turning on and not syncing with itunes!!!!

ok. so i tried to turn on my ipod touch and when i pressed the button on the top and the little square one on the bottom it didnt work. it was just a black screen. i tried holding down each button (seperatly and together) but it still didnt work. so i thought maybe plugging my ipod into itunes would work. but when i plugged it into itunes the ipod didnt even come up in the side bar thing, like it usually does. and the screen was still black.
please please please please please help me

try putting your ipod touch into dfu mode by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 10 seconds, then let go of the sleep/wake button (make sure it is connected to your computer) and continue to hold the home button for 10 to 15 seconds or until itunes reads it as an ipod touch in recovery mode that needs to be restored, if you need more help on this just go to youtube and type in dfu mode in the search field

Ipod touch not turning on or charging! HELP PLEASE!

I have an ipod touch and when I go to turn it on it gives me the dead battery sign and the sign to charge it. When I plug it in to charge, it gives the dead battery with the lightening bolt. It then goes to turn on with the little apple and then stays like that and then blacks out and does it again. I dont know what the problem could be and what to do. Any ideas? Suggestions? Or answers? Thank you.

Ipod touch, not turning on or charging

I have a 16gb touch 4th Generation, I haven't used it in about 2-3 months since I got an iphone but decided to go back to it so i don't waste my battery while I'm outside working. it will not do anything. it will not turn on, it will not charge, it will not be noticed by any computer, it is a brick. it hasn't been damaged at all or anything, it was sitting in my work vehicle in a little pelican case in my work bag. i have tried charging it for hours with the wall and 3 different computers, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT tell me to just hold the buttons down to reset it, I've tried it numerous times for several amounts of time, even up to 5 mins at one point. Can anyone help me or has this just become a brick?

IPod touch not turning on or restarting=FROZEN!

hello, my iPod touch 2nd generation is not doing anything!it is just a black screen that is not responding to anything...if i plug it to my computer the bottom becomes worm which is what happens when i recharge it...i had it working last night before i sleep,i put some music and then i fall asleep. In the morning i woke up and it was turned off so i though that the battery is empty so i plugged it to the computer to recharge it but nothing happened!
At night i was downloading an app and i was listening to music the battery was at 40-50%...its 2 years old and has iOs 4.0.
*Help Me PLEASE*

I seem to be having the same problem too and have not seen any resolutions. Mine will not charge at all. The apple screen keeps flashing on and off but does not charge, not recognized. Tried holding down power and home button which reset it but it is now just flashing (slowly) on and off. It sometimes shows the battery but has been doing this for the past day. Usually makes a tone when plugging in to charge via USB on my Mac but not now. It just seems to be in a loop and will not be recognized. If I have overlooked the resolution to this would someone Please point me to the link. I would appreciate it as I have all my passwords and other information needed - the local store in Indy is over an hour drive so I was hoping to find an Apple genius here to help.
Thanks group.

IPod Touch Not Turning on and IS NOT Detected by iTunes!!!!

Hello, recently I bought the new iPod Touch 4g! It was all fine and working for about 12 days, but then it started getting really hot and the battery lasted less than an hour while listening to music. I took my iPod Touch in, and a genius told me it was a software problem and I had to do a clean restore (as a new iPod.) Since the clean restore, my iPod has been working fine... until this morning. I had it syncing with my Mac overnight, but when I came to turn it on... I got a black screen... nothing. I unplugged the iPod and tried to turn it on again, but I got no response! I tried plugging the iPod into my wall charger, but nothing happened! I finally gave up and plugged the iPod back into my Mac, but iTunes didn't do anything! HELP!!!!!

Since it does not charge anymore, there's no way that iTunes will recognize your device when the battery is empty. You're still under warranty, make an appointment at your next Apple Store and bring it in again.

Please help ipod touch error

hi
the other night whilst listening to a podcast my touch just switched off. when i turned it back on all my songs podcasts and videos were missing. i went plugged my touch into the computer and again there were no songs present within my touch. however the itunes software said 11.53GB had been taken up by "other" and were only 3GB free, it also said this on ipod. i tries resetting from ipod but with no success, i then tried to restore on the computer but after downloadinbg the software the computer said there was a firmware error with my ipod. my ipod is on firmware 1.1.1
any help would be appreciated
thanks
dave

Hi addvi,
The "Other" category, normally should represent the Upgrades and firmwares you've installed, notes, calender informations...
However, sometimes your iPod's memory can become corrupted, probably as the result of an interrupted sync.
The unique way to get around this is to Restore the iPod Touch. Sorry for any inconvenient, this may cause you!
Once, you can't restore the iPod, try doing it on another computer.
Hope this helps!

Ipod touch not turning on anymore.

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Ipod touch 8GB.I have it for 7/8 years now, and it was working fantastic till yesterday morning...
I left it in my bag all day, and when I came back home, the Ipod was messing up, the tactile screen wasn't working, I was trying to press with my fingers and I couldn't use it. The lighting of the screen was going a bit wrong, so I did nothing a part from assuming it was probably the fact that the battery was low, so I put it on charge on my laptop hoping my Ipod would recover.
This morning, I tried to use it and it won't even turn ON! So I tried to connect it with the white cable to Itunes hoping this would turn the Ipod ON.
Nothing... not even itunes detects the Ipod. I really don't understand what happened to it seriously, it was working fantastic yesterday and suddenly out of nowhere it stops working for no reasons (how can the Ipod gets damaged in a bag seriously?)
Any advice to give me ? I really cherish my Ipod, I have all the music on it, and I can't afford to get a new Ipod
Thank you !
Alexia

Please help. ipod will not show up and i have tried everything

i got my ipod two days ago. ipod nano 4gb.
when i plug it into my computer it comes up with 'do not disconnect' and occasionally a small circle icon in the top left-hand corner. the computer recognises that there is a 'mass storage device' connected, but the ipod doesnt appear in itunes or my computer.
when i unplug the ipod it displays the apple symbol and then goes to the language selection menu. after i disconnect it i also get a message saying that the file could not be saved to the drive because it was interrupeted or something like that and i should try storing it somewhere else.
so thinking that maybe this was it being updated, i let it plugged in all day while i was at school because surely that would be plenty of time for anything to load onto it. But when i got home today it did the same thing.
I have two computers and the same thing happens on both.
I have tried it using my sisters usb cable, still nothing works.
Any ideas? Oh on one of my computers it doesnt let me uninstall itunes as well.
And when I try to open the updater to restore the ipod it freezes the application and i have to do controlaltdelete and close it.
I am SO angry about it right now.
Since i only bought it a few days ago do you think i could get a repleacement from the store where i got it or will i have to go all the way through apple.
I havnt been able to use it once and it is making me very frustrated, please help me if you have any ideas.

Sally,
OK since you using 2 computers, we will first focus on the one that will not uninstall iTunes, afterwareds we will get the ipod working on one PC first.
On the PC that will not uninstall iTUnes, goto control panel>add and remove and try if you can to uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime. Then go here and roll down to "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Once done disable any antivirus or security programs, then goto apple.com to download and install the latest iTUnes.
Also on BOTH pcs make sure you have "ipod updater 06-28-2006" you can download and install it here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Once iTunes is properly installed on this PC, you need to only connect your nano to the main PC you use for now so we can get it working, then we'll focus on the other PC if needed

Ipod touch not turning on or connecting to computer

Recently tried to update my Ipod Touch 2g, and during the update process, it went to restart, but my itunes got an error and had to close the process on the computer, and my ipod ended in a black screen. Now it will not turn on or connect to my computer.
What can i do to fix this?

My ipod died last night and I plugged it into my computer and it won't recognize it at all. I've put it in different USB ports, unplugged the ipod and obviously the cord. I've tried resetting the ipod and doing everything I can to get the computer to recognize it. What do I do?

Ipod touch not turning on. I just bought it.

Did I get a defective one? I am pressing the on/off button at the top for a few seconds.
