While using my ipod it suddenly went black and now wont answer any of the buttons or be recognized on my computer. what happened?

problem solved. press the home button and the off button together for 10 seconds and it will reboot the system

Try a reset; it's important you see the Apple Logo.
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

    Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

    I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
    My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.

  • HT201263 My phone jammed while opening an app, the screen went black, and now wont turn on. I've tried forcing a restore with no luck, what do I do now?

    My phone has been fine, then yesterday I tried to open an app, a phone call came through at the same time, and the screen went blank and now is unresponsive. I have tried holding the lock and home button, I have tried holding the home button while connecting to my laptop but sadly to no avail. What do I do now?

    This was the third Restore I've attempted today.... 'm not sure what all I did including unplugging and plugging it back in, and messing with tryign to select my phone vs. my husbands but it starting moving again.  It's now attempting to "back up" from ICloud... we'll see. Thanks

    This exact same thing happened to me too yesterday and trying what you said has just fixed it right now! Lucky I happened to come across this discussion while looking for a solution and has saved me a trip to Genius Bar tonight.
    Thanks very much for the solution!
    This problem has never happened before and I have just updated to iOS 7.0.3 about 2 weeks ago, so wondering if it may be an iOS 7 issue...

  • My iMac screen went black and now I can't get it to turn back on

    I turned my computer on this morning and everything was fine, but then my screen suddenly went black. Naturally, I looked over all the forums I could but realised mine was a unique case... Upon pressing the start up button, I heard no noise (my computer wasn't on mute) and shining a light on the black screen did not show me anything on the screen was still there.
    I think it might be dead for good, but in case it isn't I would be open to hearing what anyone has to say!

    Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

    Hi alicia243,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone wont power on, I recommend going through these steps first:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy

    If it never worked after the screen replacement then it would appear that you have a hardware problem either caused by the repair or the problem that lead to the screen replacement.

  • My ipod has suddenly 'zoomed in' and it won't zoom out. the touch screen does not move properly, and i do not know how to zoom it out

    My ipod has suddenly 'zoomed in' and it wont zoom out. the touch screen is not moving properly and I have looked in settings but there is no where to 'zoom it out'
    does anyone know how to fix this?

    It is three fingers, not two.  From the Users Guide:
    Zoom in or out:  Double-tap the screen with three fingers.

  • My ipod nano 7th gen has suddenly gone black and it wont turn on or connect to a power source.

    I was listening to my ipod nano 7th gen when it went black and the music stopped playing.  It wont turn on when i press the power button and when i connect it up to charge the screen doesn't turn on.  Can anyone tell me how to turn it on again or give me suggestions. 
    Much appriciated,

    Hey MissC@t,
    Although the following article says 6th generation, most of the troubleshooting steps should still apply to your 7th generation nano. I'd go through the troubleshooting steps and see if that resolves the issue:
