Warning very low battery

Ok well my friend's Video Ipod just spazzed out on her. When she plugs it into her computer it says "Warning very low battery". Then she plugged it into her wall charger and it charges and works like a charm. Then she charged it, took it off and it DOESNT WORK!! So she plugged it into her computer and it still comes up with the same message. I did the 5 r's (which really never work) and then I noticed a lot of people are having problems with their ipods after downloading Itunes 7. Could the two be related? please help??

I have determined that the firmware 1.2.1 is the causing this issue. I tried restoring my ipod using the 1.2.1 firmware, but the same thing was happening (no charge via usb). After reading the speculation here and exhausting my all my options I went to the apple store and discussed this behavior. Of course they had never heard of this issue before. I mentioned that I this started happening only after the 1.2.1 update. So what we did was downgraded the firmware to 1.2. This can be done be deleting the newer firmware downloads from this location:
/users/[home]/library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
After the 1.2.1 files have been deleted (don't delete the 1.2 files) it should be possible to install the 1.2 firmware. After doing so....guess what...MY IPOD STARTED CHARGING VIA USB. This problem doesn't seem to be effecting everyone. If anyone else is having this issue, point out this post to the people at the genius bar. Apple should be made aware this is an issue.

  • Please wait. Very Low battery warning but wont charge

    I have a message with a greyed out screen saying "Please Wait. Very Low Battery" but the ipod will not charge.
    Any suggestions? 

    You're sure the cable is working as well, are you? (I have a cable that has a torn plastic sleeve and now the inner wires are showing. It won't be long before it fails to work.)
    Have you tried another cable, perhaps try someone else's cable and they try yours? Also, have you tried the reset procedure? Hold the Menu and Select (centre) buttons down for at least ten seconds to see if the iPod re-starts.

  • Please wait.  Very low battery..Help

    I just bought an 80gb iPod and I was able to charge it and transfer music to it and now it won't charge at my computer at all. It does charge fully on our car adapter, but as soon as I take it out of the dock it has the very low battery warning.

    That sounds like a bad battery - it won't hold a charge. Take the iPod back to the retailer.

  • Ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s   very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

    ios 7.1 = no Wifi on iPhone 4s + very low battery runtime... HELP!!!

    Welcome, sorry to hear your news, there are numerous threads on this issue. Try the trouble shooting on the other threads, I do not recommend sticking it in the freezer or heating with a hair dryer though,
    If it's within warranty and trouble shooting doesn't work, get it. Ack to apple ASAP and get it replaced.
    Many others are in the same position, who also have a 4s
    Good luck

    My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
    BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
    Thanks

    Can you reset the device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
    If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iOS: Unable to restore

  • Trouble starting ipod (very low battery message) and loop

    Hello. I am having troble to start my ipod classic 5 generation. The message "please wait very low battery" (with an ipod with sad face) appears but the weird thing is that i just used it yesterday and i left it fully charged...but well. Then i try to charge the battery with a wall charger but it starts on a loop passing from the black screen with the apple logo, then it goes to the message "go to itunes/ipod/support" web site. and then it says again "please wait very low battery" just for a second and then it goes back to the black screen with apple logo and does this again and again. Then i tried to connect my ipod to the computer, after i do this it shows the message "please wait very low battery" and stays like this forever. I have tried ALL the suggestions, from trying to restart the ipod by clicking the middle button and the menu button at the same time (several times) and then clicking the middle button and the play button so it gows to the disk ode and nothing. I tryed witting it on the right corner and nothing. I already tested 3 usb different cables and nothing. It is not my usb port (i made tests with an ipod touch i have and works fine). Daaaaaaaaaarn!!! I really dont know waht to do now.
    Any advises please!!!!?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Very Low Battery

    When i connect my ipod to the computer it comes up please wait very low battery even when its fully charged and nothing happens

    Have you tried resetting your iPod?
    Press and hold the Menu and Select (middle of clickwheel) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
    You might need to try this several times, but if you reset your iPod while it is connected to your computer, you might get it past this screen, and show an acurate report of the iPod's battery, and connection status.

  • Message: very low battery

    the ipod classic has been plugged into a power source for about 45 minutes but still has the message very low battery. The Apple icon comes on, then a clicking sound and the screen returns back to very low battery.
    The ipod has not been used in over a year and seems like the battery won't take a charge. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have a look at this support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1384.  You may need to leave your iPod charge for 2-3 hours.

    Here's what I did today and so far so good.
    I charged the ipod using a firewire cable, which seems to work for charging as does my other auxiliary chargers, car etc. When on these powered chargers the ipod works fine, but no ability to sync.
    Did many resets while on the charger.
    I put the hold button on and very quickly swapped from the firewire to the USB, low and behold it boots, syncs and charges.
    I did a full restore and disabled disk use.
    It's syncing now, I'll let you know if it messes up again.

  • HELP!!! Very Low Battery

    Whenever I plug my iPod into a computer or charger it says very low battery. But I can keep it in overnight and it will either shut down or still say very low battery. Whats going on?

    I took mine to the apple store in Chandler, AZ and they said it's a USB charging issue. The dude had a double cable that he hooked my ipod into. One side was USB the other was Firewire. He got it to work via firewire, but not usb. He said that firewire is soley for charging, not transfering data. It worked for a while. I dropped it off at home before I went to work, once I came back home it did the same thing. I have a friend who has an old firewire cable for his older ipod. I'm going to try that.
    So, we have learned that the problem is caused by the battery draining all the way, right?
    Apple must know about this since it's a pretty common problem. Why aren't they doing anything about it? If it's a common defect, then why no recall or anything?

  • "Please wait, very low battery" display

    Hi,
    My iPod is displaying the message "please wait, very low battery" on the dark screen with a picture of a battery.  I have tried to reset it (holding down menu and select button) but the apple logo comes up (on a very dark screen as well) and then it goes back to the low battery message.  I have had it plugged into a USB for 2 hours so I don't see how it could still be very low battery to the point where the screen does not even light up.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    It's likely that the battery is shot and in need of replacement.  You can choose to have Apple replace it or a third party repair company at a lower cost.
