The screen of my Ipod touch is black and won't respond, how can I reset it?

I have an Ipod Touch 5th Gen. I still have one of the older IOS updates, but I'm not exactly sure which one. I went to go turn my Ipod on because the screen was completely black, and nothing happened. So I then plugged it in thinking it was dead. So a while later I tried to turn it on again and still nothing. Is there anyway I can reset it to get back into it? Please help!!
Thanks ahead of time!

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.

hey i broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th Gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says I need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can I do.

You can't backup the iPod t iTunes then. You will have to use an existing iTunes backup.
If iCloud backup is turned on and the iPod is still working (not disabled), the iPod will automatically backup daily if an internet connection is available and the iPod is connected to a charging source.

I have the newest version of the iPad and can not see it under devices in my iTunes account on my PC. I can however see my iPod touch under devices and sync it. How can I get my iPad to show under devices and sync as well?

Back it up and restore it in iTunes on the last computer it was synced with, as explained at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

My ipod touch got wet and won't turn on can it be repaired

My iPod touch was out in the rain and now it won't turn on. Can it be repaired?

yeah it should be able to get fixed one is an costly way
and one free which you can do on your on which will on cost you a few pounds
ok first the colstly way ipod/ifone repair web sites will fix wet ipod/ifones but they can charge anything from £39.99 to £79.99 to fix some with have an free post and pack service with royal mail and some will have u pay for this this will cost u £19.95
ok the free way you will need two soft dry cloths and some where warm first lay one of the cloths down put the ipod/ifone face up lcd faceing up, now but the 2nd cloth over the top of it and leave it alone for 3-5 days after this try powering up ipod via its power button if it powers up and and buttons work it should be able to charge up
now its the same with the ifone but you need to take the back off and take out both battery and sim leave the back off and cover leave for the same time 3-5 days

The screen of my ipod touch cracked. Is there a way I can get it fixed without buying a whole new iPod?

I have seen websites and tools where you can replace it. Does the apple company do this as well? Can I take it into a store to get it fixed? Where can I get this done the cheepest? I don't want to do it myself because I don't want to damage it at all.

You can have out of warranty replacement in an Apple Store for a fee, contact them and make an appointment. They don't repair only replace. An official store is recommended since you will have warranty.

Make sure each track is checked in iTunes (next to track name), and also that each track or album or playlist is checked in the iTunes sync selection window. Only checked tracks are synced.

Apple really does not repair your iPod except for battery replacments.They exchange your iPod for a refurbished on of the same model. For a 4G, the price is $99, $149, or $199 depending upon the capacity.

The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I turned it off and back and its still stuck zoomed in. I also tried to reset it and that didn't work either. Please help.

The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I don't know how it happened I just looked down and it was like that. I have turned it off and back and even reset it but it still keeps zooming back in each time I turn it on. I can't unlock it because I can't see the numbers and it won't let me move around the screen. Please help.

This is asked and answered often. The foru search bar is on the right side of this page.
It is also covered in the manual - zoom feature:

Double tap with three fingers.

The screen on my Ipod touch came away from the back.

The screen on my ipod touch came away from the back and then stuck back down a couple of days later. The battery seems to be weak now but everything else is OK. What could have caused this? Over chargibg in the car cradle?, Heat? Being held too tightly in the cradle?, Getting water inside?
Has this happend to any of you.

If you have successfully restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4623 THE SCREEN ON MY IPOD TOUCH SHOWS THE iTUNES SYMBOL AND THE CONNECTION CORD. IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING IT IS FROZEN LIKE THAT. WHAT TO DO?

The screen on my ipod touch is frozen with the iTunes symbol and the connection cord. I don't know how to get past this. Has been like this for over a week. Need help PLEASE.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
