5th gen wont hold charge!

I have a 30gb 5th gen, its around 3 years old (so, out of warranty), and for the last week it has been refusing to charge. When i put it on my Logitech speakers it is fully functional and the battery symbol says it is charging, but no matter how long i leave it on there it dies the second i take it off! my laptop has also stopped recognising it when i plug in to the usb. I have read lots of posts from people with the same problem but have still not found a definitive answer.Is there a solution or is my ipod officially dead?

Time for a new battery.

    - 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.

    my ipod nano 5th gen. wont turn on and is not being recognized on my mac or itunes

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?  After leaving the Nano to sit and charge for at least 30 minutes, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. You'll want to make sure the Hold Switch is not in the On position as well.

  • My iPod 5th gen won't charge:'(

    As stated in the tittle my iPod won't charge. I have looked at a lot of the similar posts but none of them are helpful. I can NOT get into DFU mode, I HAVE read both iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting and iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery pages, I HAVE tried another cable and another wall charger, I HAVE checked all connections/sockets on the iPod, cord, and wallcharger for debree, rust, or other forign materials, and I HAVE tried plugging it into my computer.
    Just for clarification, my sister has an iPod 5th gen with the iOS 7.0.4 and her iPod charges on both mine and her cable/wallcharger/computer BUT my iPod does not charge on any combination of those. The nearest apple store is 1hr 29mins from me (I checked!)
    Usually computers and tech do not elude my deductive skills but this has me stumped! Please help! Any of such is greatly appriecated!

    Mine had been fading for a while before the warranty was up, and then became mostly unchargeable in the eleventh month.
    I took it to a Genius bar where they were able to test it and swap it for a new iPod touch.
    Just make sure you have done a very careful backup before you go, I have had weird sync problems after the swap, getting my stuff back.
    I suggest the simplest method is to clear off just about everything you can, especially the photos. Less to chase when things go pear shaped.

  • My ipod touch 5th gen will not charge when connected to pc. works when plugged into wall

    I just got my 5th gen ipod today, and when i plug it into my pc (and my roommate's) they make the sound as if something is connected, but my ipod does not charge. When I plug it into my wall charger, it works fine. I've tried multiple cables, and multiple PCs, but it makes no difference. The weirdest thing though, is when I restart my computer, when it is about to close windows, it starts charging for a few seconds, then turns back off. This is so confusing. Any ideas?

    Sounds like the computer's USB ports do not provide enough current to charge the iPod when the screen is on. I would connect a partially discharged iPod to the computer for a couple of hours and see it it is charged.

    when I connect my ipod touch 5th gen to my computer, it wont show up in I-tunes for me to load download or sync. 1 time out of ten it might come up in i tunes. but even when it does, on the summary screen in i tunes it still says ' please connect your device to computer in order to check for updates. so it there but its not! ive tried a new cable, and clearing all my settings on the ipod. un installing and re installing i tunes on my computer. i cant get it to work properly. only started doing this in last couple weeks. before that it was fine! i have windows 8.1 on my computer

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Try the remaining items of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Not clear you removed and reinstall ALL Apple software.
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
