  • Ipod touch 5th gen will not turn on- home button stopped working months ago

    Hi,
    So I have a ipod touch 5th gen and it suddenly turned off and will not turn on.
    Okay, I just want to say first I know the answer would be to hold the top button and the home button at the same time until it turns on.
    The thing is, my centre home button stopped workings months ago so I was using the assistive touch.
    What happened:
    I was using my ipod and the battery was almost full. When I tried to use it 10 minutes later it was turned off and I can't turn it on. I tried plugging it on my computer and it will not recognize it.I also tried holding only the power button on top for a while but nothing happened.
    Any ideas?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot

    - 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

    - 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 ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

    Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

    Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen. will not turn on!

    My iPod touch 4th Generation will not turn on. I've only had it since September and have barely used it. I plug it into my computer and it doesn't charge, it doesn't turn on even with a low battery symbol... my computer doesn't even recognize it as being plugged in. When I plug a 3rd generation in, it charges and is recognized by my computer, so I am almost 100% sure it's not a problem with my computer.
    I've tried holding down both the home key and the power key at the same time and nothing happens...
    Help please!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    does it charge using the adapter? If yes, charge it for at least 10min, then connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • What do you do when your iPod touch 5th generation will not turn on, and it isn't in recovery mode?

    Today, my iPod touch 5th gen wasn't turning on, but during school earlier today it was working just fine. When I got on the bus, it wouldn't turn on? I got home and I plugged it into the charger and tried to see if it would turn on that way, nope. Also, there would be no way for it to be in recovery mode, because of the fact that the home button is pushed in and wont work. I've had my iPod for 2 years, is it just old and decided to give out?

  • Ipod touch 5th gen will not play songs correctly

    So I got a new ipod touch 5th gen for christmas.  When I put songs into a playlist and play them they dont always play in the correct order, or sometimes they dont play at all.  I had no problems with it the first week I had it but then all of a sudden it didnt play the music correctly.  It will skip one song and then play another song a second time in place of it.   Then sometimes it will randomly skip the last bit of a song and go to a different one but when I go in and look at the songs being played it says its still playing the song that it decided to skip.  It also will play the songs in a different order than what I put them in along with the previous problems listed ocurring.  Please let me know if theres anything I can do to fix this or if I should send it in to apple or maybe even take it back and exchange it for a different one.  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!!!

  • IPod touch (5th Gen) will not work in my 2013 GMC when connected via USB since I upgraded to iOS 8.2

    I recently updated my iPod touch 5th Gen to iOS 8.2.  I use it to play music in my 2013 GMC via USB connection.  Now, when my vehicle's system "detects" my device, it starts playing the song and after about two seconds it just quits.  Help, please.

    Sometimes this works but sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility, Fir the latter you have to wait for an update to the iOS or the firmware for the car system

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen will not restore

    I have a brand new IPod Touch 5th Gen and I Tunes will not let me restore.  Am in an endless state of Recovery Mode.  I have the latest version of ITunes installed and the IPod Touch worked perfectly for two weeks after I got it.  Now when I try turning it on, all I see is a black screen and USB cord leading to the ITunes symbol.  I checked in Diagnostics and it says no IPod is detected, yet my IPod shows below Devices in ITunes.  I have tried 20 or so suggestions to fix the problem and nothing works, including holding down Sleep button (turn on) and Home button for many minutes.  Is there any way I can get ITunes to recognize my new IPod in the proper way?  Restoring process in ITunes just does not work.  Thank you.     I believe this Touch has the iOS 6.0.1.

    Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then try restoring.

  • Ipod Touch 5th Generation will not turn on, restore, or show up in itunes unless in DFU mode.

    So a friend gave me his Ipod Touch 5th gen because he couldn't fix it himself and he bought a new one, and while I'm stoked to have a near brand-new Ipod touch, it's also frustrating me to the point I'm ready to give up on it aswell and pass it down the line. I'm not sure what he did to it, he says it just stopped working but you never know.
    Anyways, the problem is that it simply does not turn on regardless of what I do to it. When I plug it into the computer, it gets warm; usually a sign it's charging fine. However, it doesn't show up on Itunes. I read some forum posts and searched around other places aswell, and tried putting it into DFU/Recovery(not sure which is which anymore, it's the one where you hold down the power button for 3 seconds, then home+power for 10, then home button for 20). It showed up on Itunes, and said it needed to restore. I downloaded the 1.2gb update it needed, but then it hung at the "Waiting for Ipod" progress bar. As it does this, I get maybe 3-5 Windows 'bing' sounds of a connecting/disconnecting device, ending on a disconnect sound. Itunes eventually times out the restore with an error code 4005, which I read means the Ipod has been disconnected in the middle.
    After this, it doesn't show up on Itunes and I have to repeat the process to get it to show up again. I tried it a third time just now and it's still doing the same thing.
    Any ideas? Really at the end of the line on ideas I think.
    Please and thanks,
    -Cody
    P.S. I don't know if it matters but the warmth is coming from the top/camera end fo the Ipod. Not sure where the battery is versus the CPU, but maybe that'll help the diagnosis.
    P.S.S. Also, when it shows up in Itunes in recovery mode, it doesn't show a serial number, so I don't think an Apple store would even work on it without a serial #.

    Check USB connections

    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Try on another computer.

  • Ipod Touch 5th generation will not turn back on (won't recharge, and is not recognizable on computer)

    I recently bought my new ipod touch 5th gen, and was playing it (browsing on an app) until it randomly shut down without any warning or anything. I thought maybe the battery was low, but I was sure that my battery life was half way and also that it did not give me the "20% low battery" warning. I plugged in my ipod into my recharger just to be sure, but it would not recharge, the screen did not start back up. It stayed pitch black. I tried plugging it into my laptop, still the same thing happened. Furthermore, my laptop did not even recongise it at all. I'm not sure what is wrong with it. I even left my ipod plugged in for some time now, and still it appears to have the same pitch black screen.
    Please help, thank you. I appreciate it!

    Try charging the ipod touch on a wall charger and make sure the outlet is working. And leave it there for 10 minutes.
    Or try holding the power and home until apple logo appears.
