Why won't my IPOD turn on?  It is stuck on the Apple logo even after I hold the Home

My IPOD with not turn on.  I've tried numerous times to turn it on and tried resetting it even more times.  It just stays on the white Apple Logo.  Do i need to get a repair done?  Or just buy a whole new one!?

I assume by a reset you mean holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear correct?  Keep in mind this may take a number of tries.
If that doesn't work, try connecting your iPod touch to your iTunes library in Restore Mode using the instructions from this Apple support document.

  • Where are my songs and why won't my iPod turn on?!

    I have two questions.
    First, my apple ID has been the same since I was in college.  HOwever, the computer I used in college that had my 2000plus songs on it has died.  Why are my songs not in my iTunes when I log in under my same ID and how can I get them?
    Second, my iPod will not turn on or even be awknowledged by iTUnes when I plug it in. It will start with the apple sign but then go to a sad robot iPod that says "apple.com/support/ipod" which I have been to and the tips didn't work.  Keep in mind I have a very old version on my iPod because before my computer died, it lost the ablility to connect to the internet.
    Please help!

    Why are my songs not in my iTunes when I log in under my same ID and how can I get them?
    Why would they be?  You didn't back them up anywhere and iTunes does automatically redownload them to new library once you have authorized it.  You can redownload most iTunes purchases again at no cost using the instructions in this article.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    As for the error message on your iPod, it sounds like it's hard drive is dying.  See this Apple support document for more information.

  • Ipod nano 4th gen stuck on apple logo even after restore

    okay, i have an ipod nano 4th gen. it gets stuck on the boot logo, (apple logo) every time it tries to restart. i have rebooted, gone into the diagnostics, put it into disk mode, and even restored from there. the computer doesnt recognize the ipod unless in disk mode and no matter how many times i restore or reboot, it does the same thing every time. stuck. please help

    Since you have the "exact" same problem, why don't you do any of the following:
    If you have AppleCare and/or still under warranty, give them a call.  If not, take your iPod to your local Apple Store or AASP.  Let them properly diagnose the problem and provide you w/a repair estimate.
    U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
    Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • Why won't my iPod charge when I connect it to the computer?

    So I have an iPod touch 4th gen and a Windows computer. It was working fine about a month ago but now whenever I plug my ipod into the computer, it doesn;t charge and just shows the battery and charger power symbol on my ipod. Sometimes, if my charger is in the right postion (bent in a weird way) then it will charge.
    I've tried to go on control pannel and then devices and then device manager to update the USB port or whatever but it doesn't show. I've also tried to put it into the recovery settings or something but it doesn't work.
    It's really annoying and any help would be great.

    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.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I suspect a bad cable (could be cable or the the connectors at the ends of the cable), dock connector on iPod or USB port

  • Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    How is the iPod connected to your car stereo?, (via earphone jack or iPod dock connector)
    By "pause" you mean that now it is playing thru your car stereo, while previously, it stopped playing thru your car stereo, when you switch off the ignition?
    Anyway, I don't think it is an iPod problem, but you can try the
    iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    refer to this Apple supprt Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    This reset wont delete any of your songs, just put all the settings back to when you first took it out of the box.

    I suspect these posts will be deleted.
    It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
    And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens.

  • Why won't my screen turn when the phone does?

    why won't my screen turn when the phone does?

    Not all apps support screen rotation. The Home screens do not rotate. But also check to make sure you have not locked screen rotation. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and check that rotation lock is not on.

Please help I got this from my friend and I don't want that person to be disappointed. T_T

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.
