So i was updating my ipod touch (4g) to ios 6 and i needed to stop it in the middle of updating. so i held the home button and the lock button. it turned white and i tried charging it when it died but it went back to usual please help!

so i was updating my ipod touch (4g) to ios 6 and i needed to stop it in the middle of updating. so i held the home button and the lock button at the same time for it to restart. It started turning on with the apple symbol and then the screen went white. I kept trying to do the same thing but it wouldnt work. Eace time i did that the screen was a different color. I was yellow/white at one point, blue at another time and sometimes the color behind the apple symbol. It got really HOT and i just let it die. When it was dead i put it on a charger. once it got charged up it started turning on with the apple symbol. then it turned white again and then restarted without me touching anything. When it restarted it turned the blue again. i took it off the charger immediantly because i didnt want it getting as hot as it was before. ive tried every way i know how to fix it but not putting it in the computer because i dont want it to ruin the computer. Please help because i really dont want to get a new ipod. Ive read a lot about how to fix it here on apple but there all the same answer and it still doesnt work. Please respond ASAP! thank you! i could really use your help right now!

First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
Next try DFU mode and restore.

If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You are not alone with this problem.

  • I updated my iPod touch 4g to ios 5, i kept all of my apps but lost my progress on them. How do i get my progress back?

    I updated my iPod touch 4g to ios 5, i kept all of my apps but lost my progress on them. How can i, if possible, get my progress back?

    You need to restore from backup. The backup contains app data like game progress.  Make sure that autosyncing is turned off otherwise whe yu connect iTunes will make a back that does not contain the data.  To to that go to iTunes>Preferneces>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPods....syncing. 
    Yu can alsolook at the date/time of the backup on that screen and see if it might contain the data.

    - 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

  • HT201412 i updated my ipod touch 4g to IOS 5.1.1 and it wont turn on!

    So i updated my ipod touch 4g to iod 5.1.1 and i restored it to the last back up i did so i didnt lose anything and now it wont turn on!
    its stuck at the apple logo (like when you turn it on) with a bar under it and nothing is happening. i just got this ipod and i would very much like it fixed.

    Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If not successful and you can't completely turn the iPod off, let the battery fully drain. That can awhile. After charging for at least an hour try again.
    If stil not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I updated my ipod touch 4g to ios 6 and I lost all my photos and apps

    I'm very worried because I updated my ipod touch 4g and I lost all my apps and photos, what can I do to recover my apps and photos?.

    A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
    First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
    Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
    I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
    From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
    There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
    Hope this helps.
