4G iPod loses charge fast, turns on with Hold switch, when I touch it
Hello all. I've dropped my iPod more than twice. The battery performed great for years until a few months ago. It just suddenly seemed to lose all life. I replaced the battery, watched the video for the instructions, etc. This new battery is supposed to have more capacity but it loses it's charge fast. It might play a couple of hours and the battery icon shows maybe 3/4 remaining--good enough--but then the next day, it might be completely gone. I have done a restore and made sure that the alarm is not on. Another thing that happens is when I take the iPod off of hold when it's off, it turns on. And also, the backlight seems to turn on at times (though not consistently and not for the most part) when I merely touch it. Did I install the battery wrong? Has it had one too many falls?
It's performed great since I got it. Still syncs just fine, sounds great. I wonder if anyone can tell me anything I can try to restore it's battery function and fix what went wrong with the hold switch and the touch issue. Afterall, this is not an iPod touch
when I take the iPod off of hold when it's off, it turns on.
I think that is normal. My 4th gen turns on if I move the HOLD switch from ON to OFF when the iPod is off.
For the battery, when you install a new one, you should charge it full. Then you should let it run (not charge it) until it is completely discharged (iPod will not turn back on). Then charge it completely full. You may want to do that cycle one more time. If you have not let it go from full charge to zero charge by letting it play continuously, give that a try. After charging it full, use it normally.
If the battery charges and has good playtime, but it does not hold a charge overnight, it is possible that the battery (not the iPod) is defective.
the backlight seems to turn on at times (though not consistently and not for the most part) when I merely touch it.
Well, that's normal too, if you have it set so that the backlight comes on for a few seconds when you use the controls. Go to the iPod's Settings screen and check the +Backlight timer+ setting. Also, you can go to the iPod's Settings screen and select +Reset All Settings+ to initialize to the default settings.

while in email today, the computer began flashing. I had to turn off with button. When I turned it back on, I got the apple icon and the moving loading wheel. It would turn for about 60 seconds and then stop. I turned off again. I now have a black screen.

My ipod isnt charging or turning on
my ipod doesnt want to turn on or charge
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ipod 5 charger isn't working after updating to ios8
- 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.
- Try another cable. iOS 8 seem to make the iPod more sensitive to marginal cables.
- 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.

WITH HOLD problem when common_parser=yes compiler option used
Hi guys,
we are using Oracle 11g precompiler and we start using "common_parser=yes" option because of JOIN keyword, but now WITH HOLD in DECLARE CURSOR statements is not supported.
So, the statement :
EXEC SQL DECLARE cur_name CURSOR WITH HOLD FOR SELECTc1, c2 FROM t1
gives an error when "common_parser=yes" is present
PCC-S-02201, Fand das Symbol "WITH" als eines der folgenden erwartet wurde:
for,
and when is not, we can compile this statement but we get the same error for JOIN (and we dont wont to rewrite JOIN statemnts to old syntax with +).
Is this a bug and is there a workaround or solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance,
DO
PS
We also noticed the same problem for LOB statements:
EXEC SQL LOB WRITE ONE :lob FROM :buffer WITH LENGTH :bufferlen ...
Again, WITH is not recognised
Edited by: 976549 on 13.12.2012 02:20Hi,
I don't have much information I can provide but this looks like an unpublished bug: Bug 8436316 - PARSER UNIFICATION: CURSOR WITH HOLD IS NOT SUPPORTED
The best I can say at this time is if you have a support contract to open a Service Request with My Oracle Support for any alternatives.
I know that is not much help but it does seem like this is a known bug (but no workaround that I have seen).
Regards,

Trouble with Hold switch - stuck
Hi
I've just got me a nice shiny new nano.
I can't slide the hold switch; i've tried my finger, my finger nail etc, but it won't budge. (it's not on hold, i'm trying to get it on hold.
I'm not sure how much force to use, don't want to break it. Am I doing something wrong?Here's what I would do:
1. If there is an Apple Store near you, take it to them. They might be able to help.
2. If there isn't, you should send it in for service.
Check this out:

I hope this helps! -

laminaksiCheck and make sure that you don't have an alarm set that's causing it to come on and play until the battery is dead.

IPod not charging or showing up with USB
Hi,
I recently moved over from WinXP to using a Mac Pro w/ Mac OS X 10.5.2 Leopard and now I cannot connect or charge my iPod at all with it. USB hard drives and USB memory sticks show up just fine but when I plug my iPod touch (32gb) in its like nothing at all has happened? The iPod just stays on standby, it doesn't start to charge and my Mac and iTunes don't respond in anyway.
I have the latest iTunes 8.0.1 and have no idea what's going on?!
RobHey Rob,
Unlike some other iPods the iPod touch does not get formatted for Mac OS or Windows.
What version of iTunes is running on your Mac? Is there a reason you haven't updated to 10.5.5? Just click the Apple, in the top left corner> Software Update.
Make sure the iPod touch is directly connected to the Mac with the cable it came with. Try the tips in this article, to verify this is not being caused by a USB connection issue. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286

Neither the macbook nor ipod touch are new, and I'm using the cable provided with the ipod touch as normal and so was just hoping someone could explain what might be causing this? thanks!
Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions, tried all those but no luck until I tried another cable. Also found another thread on here with a similar complaint that suggested cleaning the cable/ipod connection which I've now done which seems to have done the trick-thanks again! -
