Ipod does not turn off and apple logo remains on screen
My daughter turned her Ipod touch off one evening and the next day when she attempted to turn it on the apple logo came up and staid on. Her Ipod will not turn on and the apple logo remains on the screen. I have tried holding both the restart and home button down. I have tried to update/restore in iTunes. I receive an ITunes message during extraction that the Ipod cannot be found although it shows her name for the device. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am not able to locate the serial number to contact apple as I am not able to turn the device on to see the serial number and cannot locate it in iTunes. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
iPod touch, 5th generation
