What do I do if my ipod touch wont turn on

My ipod touch wont turn on...my daughter was using it and it just went black.  It has been needing to be charged more frequently lately...

Do you see it charging? If it does then what does the screen show? Or try holding the power button for a few seconds, what shows on the screen?
Else just press and hold the Power and Home buttons together until you see the apple logo.

  • What do you do when your ipod touch wont turn on?

    I forgot my ipod touch's passcode ad tried resetting it. While intending to reset it it turned off and wont turn back on.

    - 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.

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 1st Gen. iPod touch wont turn on. Home button doesn't work. Can't reset.

    Hi there.  My 1st generation iPod touch wont turn on.  The battery has drained completely, and the few times this happened in the past, I could just reset it by holding the home and top buttons, the iPod would turn on, I could plug it in, and then it would charge--no problems.  However, now the home button does not work, so I cannot reset it. When I plug it in to the charger, the Apple logo appears for about 20 seconds, then disappears.  Also, if I hold the top button for about 2 seconds, the same thing happens (Apple logo appears for about 20 seconds, then disappears).  So, it doesn't turn on, wont reset due to the home button not working, and can't connect to the computer or iTunes.  However, it still has some life in it because the Apple logo always appears when it's plugged in or when I hold the top button.  Can anybody help?  Thanks.

    If the iPod still has its original battery, it could be that the battery finally bit the dust.

    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  You may have to place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • My ipod touch wont turn on at all even when i connect it to my computer

    So my ipod touch wont turn on at all even when i connect it to my computer! it was working fine then outta no where it wouldnt wanna turn back on. i tryed resetting but it doesn't do anything. Also when i put it on the charger it seems to get pretty hot...is the normal? help please...

    There are two different causes of this, either it has been overheated, or the iPod just crashed.  If it crashed, there is one simple step to fixing it.  Letting the battery die.  Do not connect to a charger port, or the device may get overheated, and need to be replaced.  Once it dies, it normally will show the icon, that is needs to be charged. Once you charge it back up, it should go back to normal.  If this doesn't help, then contact apple to the nearest store about getting a replacement.

  • Hi, so my ipod touch wont turn on at all, ive tried chargining it, restarting, cant my home button doesnt work, even restoring it to the computer but it will not come up. what do i do? - stephanie

    Hello< so i posted this question because my ipod touch thats about a year to 2 years old has stopped turning on randomly. I was using it not even 5 mins before this happened and all it was doing was sitting on my lap while i was texting some quickly before i was going to go back on. when i tried to it would not turn on i tried holding the power button iot did not work, so i left it pluged in for the night in hoping it wold turn back on. when i woke up this morning it did not, so i tried pluging it in to my computer to see if it would show something so i could at least reset it but it did not. so now i am stuck.
    If anyone could help me out that would be wonderful!
    Thanks
    Stephanie
    *As well my home button does not work so the actually restarting on the device would not work*
