My 2 year old 32 GB Ipod 5th gen is frozen on a black screen. When i plug it in to a charger, i hear the charging noise but the screen is still black. I should also inform you that the home button is broken so i cant reset. I tried to restore from itunes but it says "Find my ipod must be turned off from the ipod to restore". I obviosly cant turn it off if my screen is frozen. I dont know what to do 😟... Btw my warrenty is already used.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and 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
or

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- 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.
I will try all the above... Wish me luck!!!
Thanks llaass, itworked and your a life saver!!!
