IPod stopped and will not come back on How do I fix?

My IPod Model A2178 stopped while working out. Nothing appears. I cannot shut it off, turn it on, re-charge it.

Ipod just stopped working My old iPod touch generation 6 just stopped working for no reason. How do I fix it? I tried the twenty second power and home button but it doesn’t help. I went to the Apple store and that wasn’t any help either.

(New) iPod Nano 7th Gen - Recently Fresh Unboxed - Turns Off After Unplugging Device Hi, long time Apple products user here. Looking into starting running again here soon, so I bought a brand new iPod Nano 7th gen. I bought it 3rd party obviously and nothing gives any negative impressions of the device. Everything was still wrapped as if the product was back from 2014-2015 (2022 now). I'm having similar problems as other users had back in the day regarding the device turning off and not powering back on as soon as I unplug the device. The exact same problem that I am having is also from this post: my ipod nano 7th gen only turns on when p… - Apple Community While plugged in, everything is flawless. Battery claims it is fully charged, buttons, movements, and sound quality is perfect. Connects to iTunes just fine, synced music and am currently listening. I have let and left charging for about 10-20 minutes now and the moment I go to unplug the device, it instantly turns off. As soon as I plug it back in, it returns to the language setting like the device has never been used before. Noting that the music and everything else is still on the device. I've already tried resetting the device and the problem still persists. Been looking around at other forums and questions and even hard resetting the iPod doesn't bring up the logo unless it's plugged in, however the device will still turn off if I unplug it. Is there any other suggestions anyone can give me, or do I need to stop troubleshooting it and take it an an Apple Store? Regards, Avizzo/Drew

Hi Trek2120,

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like your iPod touch (7th generation) isn't powering on, correct? If so, we would love to help see if we can get the issue resolved for you. It looks like you came to us from a resource that does address this. Does the iPod give any indication that it is charging when connected to a power source? If not, have you tried a different power source and charger?

If your iPhone or iPod touch won't charge

Please let us know how it goes. We're always happy to help.

Cheers!
