Touch will not turn on

I bought the latest itouch and it is only 9 days old but will not turn on....I was reading books on it and it froze....now nothing...it shows in my itunes yet it does not turn on...I have done a restore on it...I am assuming it doesnt turn on ..maybe it is on...its just that the whole thing is black and nothing happens when i press any buttons..can any body help me ...many thanks

If it's recognizable by the computer I'm thinking that it's actually turning on, just not displaying anything on the screen. Try connecting it to your computer and resetting it, by holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together for about 10-12 seconds.

  • Ipod touch will not turn on unless plugged in

    My Ipod touch will not turn on, Ive plugged it in and it comes on it has a charge but as soon as I unplug it it goes black ... I have tried to restart it but there is just a black screen

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function.

    My Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function. When it does, once in a blue moon, after 5 minutes it freezes. I am wondering if its becuase battery was left dead for 2 weeks or problems with the iOS. Resetting does not help.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Try a Reset
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • Ipod touch will not turn on, have tried to reset any other ideas?

    My ipod touch will not turn on, I have followed the apple fault finding and it will not reset either. Any other ideas?

  • Ipod touch will not turn on and is not reading in the usb port

    ipod touch will not turn on or connect to my computer

    I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
    ***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

  • My ipod touch will not turn on, i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it wont charge. and plus its battery was already full. why wont it turn on??

    So one day is was laying next to my ipod touch and i tried to turn it on but it wouldnt. so then i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it didnt charge, the computer didnt pick up the divice. so now my ipod touch will not turn on, and i have no idea why. PLEASE HELP.

    mine did the same thing. What I did was hold the home and power button down for 10 seconds but that did not work. I figured out that I just had to hold them down for a long time like 15 to 45 seconds. Then it finally turned on. You may have to do it a couple of time. But if this does not work send it in to the apple company they fixed mine completly free they even sent me a box to send it in. I hope my answer helps you fix it.

    That's some serious Kool-Aide there... oh, and BTW, not trying to troll here, but you probably would want to know that SJ died months ago.
    Anyway, having same problem with an iPod Touch 3rd Generation 8GB. Although this device is a 1 or 2 years old, it was only used (touched?? lol) a few times, so practically in 'new' shape, but obviously with a dead battery.
    Charged overnight
    Does not respond to holding power for 10 seconds, or 30 seconds.
    Does not respond to holding power AND home for 10 seconds or 30 seconds.
    Tried other combinations I've read in these forums such as holding power and home and then releasing the power button
    Does nothing when plugging via USB to a PC (tried different PC's) with iTunes along with any of the above combinations of holding buttons. [Device does nothing, nothing shows up in iTunes, no recognition at all from PC, etc.]
    I am assuming you mean January 29, 2012 (based on the time of your posting) and not 2011, which if you say you had your device "over 18 months", then I'll see if I, too, will get a replacement device, and "IF" I do, then maybe I'll drink a little of your Kool-Aide, but otherwise I'm quite disapointed that this device is so fragile.

  • I pod touch will not turn on and will not charge - just died - did not drop or spill water on it - HELP

    I pod touch will not turn on and will now not charge - just died - did not drop or spill water on it - HELP.  When I plug it into I-Tunes it says the IPOD is in recovery mode

    Have you tried to restore the iPod via iTunes on the computer? See the restoring topic on:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
    If not successful, what happens when you try to restore the iPod?  Any error messages?

  • When charged up I touch will not turn off with on off button

    When charged up my I touch will not turn off using the on/off button,can use the home button but I touch stays on & drains the battery.

    To turn the the iPod off you have to press and hold the On/Off button until the power off slider appears (about 5 seconds). Are you doing that?

  • 2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on

    My 2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on.  I have held the lock button down for up to 30 seconds and it remains a black screen.  When I put it on the charger, the screen usually shows the battery amount, but it will not do that either.  I checked the battery about 10 minutes before it began this, and it was about 75% charged.  There is no way it could be dead.  It will not even show the apple, as if it were powering on.

    - Connect the iPod to your computer.  If iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod.
    - Next see if resetting the iPod will make the iPod visible so you can restore the iPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next see if recoverymode  will make the iPod visible.  For recovery mode see:

  • I was in the middle of the new update and it said there was a error and now my ipod touch will not turn on or off or anything it is just a picture of the apple

    I was in the middle of the new update and it said there was a error and now my ipod touch will not turn on or off or anything it is just a picture of the apple.
    thank you
    Kristy

    Error 11 is a strange one...if you search the discussions for error 11 you will get a number of hits but none with a real resolution other than getting the iPod to restore, which you have done.  And one person indicates this does not appear in the support data base...already found that out.
    If you have restored, have a backup and can restore from that, you might try the update again, or wait for the next update whenever that comes out. 
    Not a very satisfactory answer but if it is working again...

  • My ipod touch will not turn on at all.

    For some reason, my ipod touch will not turn on at all. It has no water damage, and for whatever reason, iTunes does not recognize it at all, and it will not turn on. I have even tried resetting it by holding the sleep button and home screen. How can I fix this?

  • My 4th gen iPod Touch will not turn on

    Over the last two years, I've battled with inconsistent performance from my iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. At some point, I think it got overheated, and I believe that's when the battery issues started. Here's an in-depth look at the various problems...
    1) The iPod will not turn on for weeks at a time. YES, I HAVE tried pressing the home button and wake button at the same time. Please do not suggest that I do that. When I plug it into either a USB port or my wall charger, the iPod will either A) not respond in 90% of cases or B) show the little charging symbol in the other 10%. If I unplug my iPod at this point, it shows the typical "Connect to charger" illustration. However, if I leave it connected to the wall, it will sit there, acting like it's charging, but never actually does. It never even gets to the Apple screen, and this often goes on for days. I have already tried "restore" mode in iTunes to no avail either.
    2) The iPod will charge (after weeks off of the charger), but only for about 25-30 minutes. Once I get it to turn on, it will only charge to about 20% usually, and then I have to remove and re-insert the USB plug to get it to charge further. I cannot use the iPod during this charging time, as it will deplete the battery and put it back in the state from number 1 for weeks. In connection to this problem, my laptop (primary charging source) now makes the sound effect of a USB device being inserted and removed fairly often, even when no iPod is connected, and when the iPod is connected, the USB ports will randomly charge (or not charge) my iPod.
    3) Even on full charge (that rare occasion), my battery life only lasts about an hour.
    I don't have a Genius bar anywhere near here, and this iPod is at least 3 years old, so it's not worth pouring a lot of money into to repair or replace. Any solutions?

    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Sounds like at least a bad battery
