iPod Touch won't turn on !!

THANK YOU !!!! your a life saver ! i tried everything and ony yours worked 🙂 luckily nothing at all had been removed off my ipod all my pics and music and apps etc. were still there. THANK YOU AGAIN ! 😀

i have an ipod 3rd generation and the same problem is happeneing but i tried the DUF method and it didnt work...i have tried to restore it...but nothing. What is going on with it and what could I do?

thanks for that, i was dieing here, a day without my ipod, and apparently its called DFU Mode

This is what I did, which should work. Press the home and power button (dont hold them down)

After trying all of the mentioned suggestions about a million times I was still not able to get my Ipod touch to start up, so I went to online support to set up an appointment. I found the following fix that worked.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. It starts by saying to hold down the power and home key at the same time, but keep reading and you will find the next fix which is to unplug the usb connection from your ipod (leave it plugged into your computer) and then while holding down the home button plug the usb cord back into the ipod. If you see a low battery indicator let it charge for 10 minutes and then as in my case the phone worked fine, or if need be hold down the power and home key at the same time and then follow onscreen prompts to finish restoring the ipod. Good luck!

I was having issues even after getting it to turn on (wouldnt recognize my pass code). Ended up Resetting with power button and home button held down with usb connected to ipod and computer. I was prompted to restore through Itunes and it works fine now.

Thank you so much for this post. I had the same problem and this solution worked! You are a savior.

I was just about to make use of my 3 year warranty. Luckily, I found all info for that should I need it.

hold the home and power button until you see a white apple

for those of you that have 2nd gen touches and it wont turn on i had the same problem it normally is when you run the battery flat it sometimes automatically puts it into recovery mode so you have to restore you device this happened to my iphone 4 also it is simply fixed by ensuring the cable is connected to your laptop and touch with itunes open you will see that it wont recognise the device when i had the problem my device would only have the apple logo show and wouldnt go past that and itunes didnt pick it up so at this point hold the lock and home key in and do not let go untill itunes picks up your device saying found ipod in recovery mode you must restore to factory settings click continue this will restore it to factory and will show up as a new device in itunes now it will then ask if you want restore from the last backup of that device or start as new and say backup and it will sync everything back to the way it was before it had a mad fit hope this works for you all on here that have posted about this problem if not im sorry but your device must be dead 😟

plug it in to the wall for about 6 minutes and the hold down the power button and home button at the same time and keep holding them til the apple shows up and them you can let go. 🙂

Holding down the POWER button and HOME worked for me! You might have to hold them down together for 10 seconds or so, but the apple showed up and it's working perfectly fine! Thank you to everyone that posted these directions!

This seems to be a common problem with the latest generation...with that said, there is a quick guide that you can follow here.

my ipod touch 3rd generation 64 GB wont turn on and ive tried everything. the apple symbol wont even come up, ive only had it for a little bit over a year

listen to LiMaSu : "I just got on to see if there was a thread on this subject...mine did the same thing, and with almost full battery! and I tried plugging it in, letting it sit, holding the power button, but nothing. I didn't know so many people had this problem"

This totally works!!

holding down the home and power button worked for me too. Thanks!
