I have a 4th gen 32GB ipod touch. I was sitting on my couch and right after I sent a messege it just shut off and wouldn't turn back on! So on top of my home button being broken iTunes doesn't read it and the ipod won't charge....WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?!?
iPod touch
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode,
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- 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.
this happened to me to-my ipod wont turn on, its a ipod 5th gen- I turned off my ipod and then when I went to check it later it wont turn on this is the second time it happened, I tried to charge it its not recognizing it, I have heard that you can try to press the power button and the homebutton to make it work, when it happened the first time I did that and it worked but since my home button isn't working what can I do, can I try to fix it or do I have to go to apple and ask, can anyone help me plz
This same exact thing happened to me, my iPod 5th gen has a jammed home button. Last night, I went to bed after setting a notification and woke up in the morning. I clicked the power button (not jammed) and nothing happened. It wouldnt charge. And holding power wouldnt work either. Also, the screen is cracked. How can I fix it? (If possible)
the same thing happened to me , this is actually my 2nd time but the 1st time it happened (oh btw my home button does not work) so i just charged it and then i stopped charging it after like a day or overnight then i let it sit the whole day. in the night it turned on... so my ipod turned off this morning and i hope the same thing happens 😟 😕

Everyone, I have the same issue and i have the SOLUTION
I also have a broken home button and it never seems to turn on no matter how many times I click on the power button or charging it. For those who are reading IIIaass's answer but cannot follow his steps due to your home button please listen to me. Watch this video, it might sound crazy but it worked!! Freezing your ipod/iphone drains the battery and plugging it back in afterwards seems to bring it back to life. Spread the word!!
Exact same problem with my ipod too 😟
Help Anyone
Mine don't work Zzz
My ipod won't turn on and my home button doesn't work.
