Problems after iOS 7.1.2 on Ipod Touch 5th Gen

If the reboot didn't help, then I would restore it. But just to be sure is this what you did:

Rebooting your iDevice

Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The iPad should begin to start up.

To force a restore tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings.

Be sure you backup first using iTunes rather than iCloud. Open iTunes with your phone connected to the computer. Select your phone in the iTunes sidebar. Click the radio button for backing up to the computer, then click on the Backup Now button. Then start the restore process.

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 another cable

- 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.

Then do this:

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:

Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.

If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.

Additional Information:

If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.

Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

I too have this same issue. I have a ipod touch 5th generation, 32gb, purchased August 2013. Never dropped it, was put in a case since day 1, and has protective screen. Never had water damage and never jail-broken. Up until this past weekend, it was working perfectly fine, until I updated to the 7.1.2 ios update. Now my ipod touch randomly turns off on me, or restarts/reboots. Sometimes it wont boot past the apple logo, other times it completely shuts off. When booting up, sometimes the apple logo turns into a fadish green color then the whole ipod shuts off again. Other times the apple logo wont show up at all (as if the whole ipod is nto responding). I have to try several attempts for it to boot normally...

I tried soft resets (holding the power button and home button at same time). I tried system restore using itunes for a fresh factory reset, and even then it did not solve this issue.

Already opened a case through online chat with apple support, even made appointment with genius bar at local apple store and a tech checked it out....she said its either hardware or software issue...but.they will order a replacement ipod for me...got barely 1 month left for my 1 year limited warranty. I seriously think this is a software issue with the ios 7.1.2 update. But ill take the replacement when they have it in stock....maybe it will have an older ios on it stil and i wont update to the 7.1.2.

So anyone else have this issue.....?

Then, you have to go to Genius Bar in Apple Store or your local Apple store to repair your iPod touch. If not, Apple will exchange your iPod touch for your replacement unit. And nope, my iPod touch don't have issues at all when I update to iOS 7.1.2 at all.

So I just got home from an apple store after getting a replacement unit. Luckily this ipod still has the 7.1.1 ios so I will not update to the 7.1.2 for now just in case.

DICM1004, what model is your ipod touch? is it the 5th gen? and which memory model? is it a 32gb as well?

Here's my model:

iPod touch (5th generation)

Memory: 32GB

Version running: iOS 7.1.2

No issues found on my iPod touch. Anyone have problem updating to iOS 7.1.2 on iPod touch?

To update everyone, I decided to update to the 7.1.2 with my new replacement ipod touch today. Only time will tell if its buggy. Will keep you guys posted if something else goes wrong with this replacement ipod.
