Ipod touch 5th generation battery screen with lightning bolt locked cannot charge or restart. ive tried everything from new cables attempting to shut down but stays at screen for a few seconds then black screen again over and over
screen locked up and shows the battery with low red and ligtning bolt and cannot hard shut down or reset just stays there for a few seconds then black screen. hooked up to computer and itunes doesnt recognize it or even shows that it is pluged in. looked and made sure nothing is broken or metal in ligting port or on cable which would prevent it from accepting a charge. ipod is only a month old and seems like a waste of money if its so hard to try to get an explanation of why this is ive been tryning to get an answer from apple for a week now.
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 on another computer
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod touch 5th generation battery indicator does not update when being charged (Updated to iOS 8)
Note that the iPod touch 5th generation was updated to iOS 8. When I connect my charger to my iPod touch, for the first time, the battery indicator does not update when connected to a power source. Instead of being charged, it says that the battery is being depleted. Please fix this issue. Thank you!
Not Charge

I just bought the new MacBook Air a few days ago and my Internet connection is so slow. My iPhone's connection works fine when connected to the wifi but the MacBook connects for a few seconds then drops completely. What do I do? I tried connecting it to my phone's hotspot and it works perfectly. I'm a new Mac user so I have no idea what to do. I have Comcast xfinity cable and Internet. Thanks for the help.

When I open itunes it freezes for a few seconds then says iTunes stopped working and closes down. I have tried downloading the latest version, both repair and remove and it still keeps happening
Tried the un-install and getting the same problem although it takes a bit longer before it crashes this time. Checked the problem report and it looks the same as the previous reports.

IPod touch 5th generation battery drained and restored after app is closed
I got my iPod Touch 5th generation about a year ago. I noticed it has since had an issue on the battery life that I thought was common so I did not do anything about it.
The issue my iPod has is that whenever I use an app that requires immense energy to function, the battery drains real quick. But after I closed the app, the battery life fills up again like it has only used a little. Video recording especially drains the battery the most where after 10 minutes of recording, it pops up saying 20% battery left from fully charged and at one point it even shuts down itself. But when it was turned on, the battery life is still around 75%. Before it runs on iOS 8, the issue is more apparent although it still exist now with the latest update.
I did not know until just recently that I found out it is a big issue where I could not have a video recording that can last longer than 10 minutes or so. Is there anything I could do to solve this? Are there anyone else out there that has this sort of issue?Hey Leowjowee-
I'm really sorry if I'm about to state the obvious, but have you tried fully resetting the iPod touch and setting it up like it's brand new?
It's a crappy answer, but sometimes these are device specific issues, and other times, it can happen just because the kinks haven't been worked out of a new upgrade. I work in consumer IT, and the first thing I would suggest to a client with this issue (especially after an upgrade from one version of the operating system to another), would be to restore (reset the iPod to factory specs) the iPod touch, set it up like the day I bought it, only with the upgraded operating system, and see if there's still an issue. Sometimes, doing an upgrade like you probably did to get from iOS 7 to iOS 8, where it keeps all your previous settings from the last operating system, can cause bugs in the new code.
Here's instructions for a reset: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
Keep in mind that this will completely erase any content you have on the iPod touch, so be careful to make sure you have a backup of the device before you do anything. You can back up your device to iCloud or your computer with these instructions: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
iOS 8 is brand new, and I'm sure Apple is working out the bugs - but these things happen... -
I can't remeber my iPod touch 5th generation's pass code. I know the four numbers included, just not the sequence. It disabled yesterday at 6pm, and it's now 11am and still disabled. Also, when I first got my iPod, my friend synced it with her iTunes, so I can't plug it into mine.
I have a lot of pictures and songs that I really don't want to lose, by just restoring it, if I can even do that.
So, my question is either,
1. Up to how many hours can my iPod be disabled for? (The new iOS won't tell us!) And how long will it disabled after each try??
2. Is there any way to get the pass code off my iPod touch without losing all my apps, music, pictures, ect.?
Thank you!!If it says "iPad is disabled" it is never going to time out. At that point, your only option is to restore it in iTunes.
If you have a backup in place now (in iCloud or iTunes) once restored, you can restore from backup, but the only way to un-disable the device is to restore it.

My iPod Touch 5th generation battery drains extremely fast.
I have a iPod Touch 5th generation, with iOS 8.0.2 and the battery life goes down in less than 15 minutes. I have experienced this since I first bought it, which was 10 months ago. My brother and sister just bought the same iPod as me but in different colors. My brother used his iPod Touch for 1 and a half hours, and it looked like the battery was barely used. I am not sure if this is a problem with my device, because this happened with my dad's iPhone 5 as well. Maybe it is the older models. Does anyone have a solution to this, or ways to save my battery?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod Touch 5th generation battery on ios 7
I have a iPod touch 5th generation (space grey it came with ios 7) and I was just wondering what the average battery life is. Mine seems to be setting the trend of 4-4 1/2 hours (playing games), and about 7 hours using music, streaming, and browsing. Is this about the average?
Sounds about right. What I have seen is this... on standby the battery will go for days, provided you never use the fool thing, just leave it on. Listening to music from you library with the screen mostly off and wifi and Bluetooth turned off, easily 20 plus hours. BUT, start streaming, gaming (gaming really ***** the power), browsing, anything that keeps the screen on and in motion or keeps your iPod looking for a signal... a few hours between charges is all you get! I always have a charger nearby. Good luck.

Iphone stops working for a few seconds then starts working again
ok so i have an Iphone 3gs. the digitizer was messed up so i switched it from another iphone i have. they are both 3gs. after a while my 3gs started to lagg completely. the screen freezes and i cant do anything for a couple seconds then it starts working fine again. this has started to happen a lot. when im playing music it suddenly stops playing for a couple seconds and continues. i tried rebooting it and it didnt work. could it be the software? or the hardware? i doubt that it could be the changing of the lcd screen since the iphone completely stops working. should i try a restore?
have you done a reset, hold down the home/poer button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. see if that helps.

I downloaded your update sent about 10 minutes ago. Ever since I did so, my computer started freezing up for a few seconds, and then it starts going again. This is annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do something to fix this. It started happening with your update.
Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. -
Ipod Touch 5th Generation ios7 problem with Genre sorting
Hi. I upgraded my 5th gen ipod touch to ios7. But I can no longer sort my music by genre. For example, I have Bruce Springsteen divided up into Rock and 80's. But when I go to "80s" genre and click "Bruce Springsteen" it shows ALL songs by Bruce Springsteen. The ones I have labeled as 80s AND the ones labeled as Rock. And vice versa. If I go to Rock and Bruce Springsteen, I get the Rock songs and the 80s songs as well.
Basically, if I go to ANY genre and pick an artist that has songs in multiple genres, it will list ALL songs and albums by that artist and not just the songs in that particular genre. So it makes sorting by genre completely useless.
I've seen this on every device with ios7 installed. I didn't have this problem with ios6 and I prefer to sort my music by genre. I've spent a lot of time organizing it that way because that's how I want it.
Does anybody know any way around this? Thanks!You say you have iOS 7. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

Why does my IPod touch 5th generation battery drain quickly? Is this a defect?
My battery seems to drain in about 3 hrs or less when I play a game, listen to music, etc( when it's fully charged too) and I'm not even using the Internet . Please help me, if this is a defect then I'll return it to apple and get another one.
Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use an Apple wall-mount charger and charge overnight. Do NOT use a computer USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). I don't play games but I expect that you'll get six to eight hours. An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge. -
