2005 ipod classic and it will not take charge in the wall or computer.

Hello, i have a 2005 ipod classic. It wont take charge in the wall or computer. it only works with the car charger/player and before it works it take about 15 seconds to boot. when plugged in wall or computer it only says please wait very low battery and it will sit like that for hours. I've replaced the battery once before and it worked for a month then it started doing this again. is there any way to get it working by doing it myself?

Replacing the battery is a rather delicate operation best left to the Apple techs. If you do any damage Apple will not touch it or give any help, even on a device out of warranty. It sounds like a new battery is in order.

I have an ipod touch and it will not longer charge on the dock it only plays music

I was uploading music to my ipod touch 4th generation (I only use this ipod to stay docked all the time to my speackers)
Since I updated my ipod touch to ios 6.1.6 it does not charge it only plays music but it does not charge why is this happening I think is a bug that has the ios 6.1.6 I dont have old speackers I brought them in 2012 they are the sony RDP-XF100ip, it allways worked fin and scince I updated it it does not work.
I also have an old ipod nano and I thought that the dock burned but it did charged the ipod nano
Thanks.

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Sometmes this works
- 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.
Otherwise go to the dock manufacture's support site. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for either an iOS update (very unlikely) or an update to the firmware on the dock

Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

Ipod Classic 7th generation will not sync with all movies in Itunes

I just bought an Ipod classic today, due to my iphone 5 not able to connect to my car entertainment system and car stereo. Needing a 30 pin to connect to it. So I bought it, connected it to my mac computer, and not all the movie files will sync to it. I get this message:
For some reason, some of my movies will transfer to the ipod classic, and some will not. They are all m4v files. Does anyone have a suggestion?

The files that won't copy probably have too high a data rate. From http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html

HT1386 I have a ipod classic and it is not syncing when I buy a song in itunes.

I have a new Ipod classic and when I first plugged it in to my computer, it downloaded all my songs I have had in itunes. But this is the first time I am buying songs off itunes and have bought 2 now, and they will not sync to my ipod. When I eject the ipod, it says syncronizing, but the songs do not show up. I have the download automatically box checked. ANY help greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks
Jennifer
p.s. I know I may be in the wrong area for this, but at the bottom it gives no option of ipod classic, and it is not a touch.

Is your iTunes account authorized for this computer in iTunes? - to check, open iTunes, and in the top menu bar, select "store", then "authorize this computer".
See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.

My ipod classic 80 gb will not sync contacts form Outlook in windows 7. I have tried many suggestions but none work.

My ipod classic 80 gb will not sync with contacts in outlook in windows 7. It never has synced all contacts but for a while it would sync "All Contacts" if I created a distribution group in Contacts for that purpose. Now it will not even do that. What can i do ?

Hi there,
I would recommend reviewing the process for setting up syncing in iTunes 11. Take a look at the article below for more information.

If you think the emoji is the cause of the problem, why not remove the emoji from your name?

I have an ipod touch and it will not connect to my wifi. It has in the past but now it will not even give me the option to connect?

Did you just update to BUGGY OS 4.x???
All the updates starting with OS 4.x have completely screwed up most iPod Touch', especially older models like Gen 2 and 3.
Inability to connect to any WiFi.
Fluctuating WiFi signal no matter how close you are to the AP.
Drastically shortened battery life, even when in sleep mode.
And Apple hasn't done a **** thing since irritated owners have complained about it since the middle of 2011!!
(I am one of many thousands affected!) Look at older threads by searches of "Fluctuating WiFi", Terrible Battery Life, for the Touch and iPhone.
This is why I bought an Android tablet instead of an iFad this Xmas. Non-existant Apple support!

Pages and Numbers will not take dictation in iOS 8 on my iPad 4 and iPad mini.
Very frustrating -screen goes blank where keyboard should be when I touch the microphone- no keypad & dictation does not record. I have to close the document In order to get rid of the big blank space where the keyboard should be. When is this going to be fixed?it's making recordkeeping Pages and Numbers, which I use heavily, almost impossible.
also dictation in other locations such as Mail put capitals in the middle of sentences and sometimes don't capitalize first letter in a sentence (see first letter of this sentence!) and other instances like the months of the year or the days of the week. Is anyone else having these problems?

Try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
If that doesn't work, just let the battery drain. Once you charge it back up it should work as normal.

I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 7.0.2 and iBooks will not load anything from the Store- I cannot search or even view my purchases.
Also Safari keeps crashing. I have shut down the phone and restarted it twice and that hasn't helped. Any ideas?

HT4060 I mistakenly finish the power of my Ipad 4 and since is not take charge again

I mistakenly finish the power of my Ipad 4 and since is not take charge again

Are you trying to charge it via a computer's USB port or the wall charger ? If a USB port then a lot of computers don't provide enough power to their charge the iPad at a sufficient rate (though it mat still charge the iPad if it's screen is off).
If the wall charger then you are using the iPad's own charger (and not an iPod or iPhone charger which are less powerful), and if so have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Otherwise have you got a different charger and/or cable that you could try ?

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.
