Battery charge not recognized

My ipod's battery will be fully charged and then 40 minutes later it will shut off and when I try to turn it back on it says low battery.
Sometimes if I wait a while, I can turn the ipod back on and the battery will show a full charge and work just fine for another hour or so.
I've reset, updated and restored.
I think the battery is holding the charge because when I plug in the ipod to recharge, it only takes a few minutes to get to full power... It seems like the ipod just doesn't know that it has battery power.
Is anyone else having this problem?

yes, i do have the same problem. With different time intervals though.
I think our batteries are broken. The only solution would be a battery replacement, which is free if you bought your iPod less than a year ago.

My battery is not recognized
If the battery in your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro is fully drained of power, the battery will put itself into a low power state to preserve its ability to charge in the future. Connect your Mac Notebook to AC power and allow it to charge for at least five minutes. If the connect to power screen persists after charging for five minutes, reset the SMC.

My E3-111 laptops battery is not recognized from the very first startup,, please help me

hi frnds i just bought a brand new acer e3-111 laptop but from its first statup the battery is not recognized and mot charging,, i have tried removing and re plugging the battery...i f any one know what to do please help me,,,

In all honesty, your best bet is to scour the Apple web site and find an older version of iTunes, download it, do a full erase/uninstall of your current version (even get rid of the preferences file), and install the newly-downloaded version of iTunes. The only drawback is that you can't even use your old iTunes Library file, so you have re-establish EVERYTHING.
But at least then you'll be using an older, better version of iTunes.

IPhone 5 getting really hot and battery charge not lasting very long at all??

iPhone 5 getting really hot and battery charge not lasting very long at all??

Try some of these to save battery time:
Settings>Notifications>[Turn off any notifications you don't need]
Settings>General>Software Update (Make sure you're up to date)
Settings>Brightness & Wallpaper> Auto-Brightness on (And that your brightness is not to the max)
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>Turn off/Stop apps from using it
Settings>Bluetooth>Off
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Manually
Settings>Wi-Fi> Off (When you don't need internet when you're out and about)
To stop overheating, note these:
Operating Temperatures: 0° to 35° C (32° to 95° F)
Non-Operating Temperatures: -20° to 45° C (-4° to 113° F)
Hope this helps!

Battery is not recognized properly on Satellite L500

Hi all.
Ive Toshiba Satellite L500 with Windows7. Two days ago a red cross appeared over battery indicator and notice: 30% available, plugged in, not charging. Consider replacing your battery.
And when I plug off AC laptop shuts down. I replaced the battery but the same action when plug out AC the computer shuts down. Run some antivirus programs no results. I installed a battery tester who told me that battery is not installed. Run SCF program not bad files.
Tried with power manager no results.
My battery works well on other similar laptop.
Pls help !!!

Hi mate
Are you using the latest BIOS?
Please check this!
You can access the BIOS pressing F2 at the beginning.
There you will find the BIOS version.
Compare this with the available BIOS on Toshiba page and update it if necessary.
I cannot say for sure that this would solve you problem but its definitely worth a try.

IPod shuffle 4th generation is not charging, not recognized by my computer and laptop (Windows 7) and does not show up in iTunes

I have done all the troubleshoots and reset functions but my iPod shuffle is still not working. Every time I plugged my iPod it only shows red light that lasts for about 3 seconds and will disappear after some time. I've been using the same computer and laptop back then, and it stopped working since the last week of October.

Nokia c3-01 charger not recognized message

Bought nokia c3 -01 in Malaysia when i plug in charger here in australia get message charger not recognised? have done update and tried different chargers but still have problem.how can i fix this?

wondershade:
Does your charger plug into an electrical socket or does it plug into a computer via USB cord?
If your charger plugs into an electrical socket, then you may need a power plug adapter.
If your charger plugs into a computer via USB cord, try plugging the USB cord to a different USB ports. If that doesn't work, plug your phone into different computers.
Kudos if this helps.

IPod not charging, not recognized by computer

Hi, all—
160 GB iPod classic, about a year and a half or two years old, trying to connect to the black Macbook, also about a year and a half or two years old, running Snow Leopard and the most recent version of iTunes.
Never had problems with it before, but turned on the iPod one day to see that it had completely run out of charge at random. Connected it to the computer to try to get it to charge, but after two hours, nothing had changed and was still on the "Charging, Please Wait..." screen. I've tried several times to restart it while it's been attached to the AC adaptor, but that's only resulted in losing any charge it's had. Finally tried to connect it to the computer to restore it this morning, but still on the "Charging, Please Wait..." screen after four or five days straight of being attached to devices to charge it, and isn't recognized by the computer when it finally has enough charge to go to the normal "Connected" screen.
Is there a solution to this, or is it a case where I need to send it back to have its battery replaced?

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like you have already attempted a number of troubleshooting techniques to resolve this issue, but here is the Apple support document related to this issue with a few more techniques to try before opting to have your iPod's battery replaced.
[iPod's battery doesn't charge|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44551]
To be honest, it's sort of odd that it just died suddenly out of nowhere one day. Maybe just give it a few days of rest and then try plugging it again to charge. Many users who have experienced this similar issue have reported that their iPod would come back to life after a couple of days of not charging or anything.
Otherwise, yes, you will need to replace the battery in order to gain full functionality of your iPod again.

IPod touch won't charge, not recognized by iTunes or Finder

Hi -
My iPod 4th gen - version 6.1.2 stopped charging midway, now not recognzed by iTunes or Finder. Battery won't charge. I have been through the diagnostics, reset, rebooted, etc. USB ports are OK...
Bad cable seems unlikely - it worked before...
I saw the advice about updating software, but if the device is not connected, so how could I do that?
Thanks,
David

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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
and/or
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

IPhone not charging, not recognized by computer

Last night I plugged my iPhone in via its USB cable and the AC adapter and nothing happened... I tried my iPod's cable and AC adapter and it started charging, but when I got up this morning, the battery was still about 25% and not charging. I don't know when it stopped working.
I tried the iPhone dock with the iPhone's cables and AC adapter, the dock with all the USBs on my computer, the USBs without the dock, and nothing. When I plug it in to the computer, a notification pops up that a USB device is found, and then one a few seconds later saying something has malfunctioned with the USB device and that windows does not recognize it. iTunes never opens.
I've restarted the phone and reset it. I have not updated to 2.0.
The phone plays through the inMotion speakers I have (connected via the dock and the "line out" cable), so I think the connector on the phone itself is ok since it's sending music through.... is the cable bad? I'm a little nervous since my battery is so low and I have no way of charging it. There isn't an Apple store anywhere around me so going there is out.
Please help

Had the same problem with my 2G. I fell asleep and left it playing the ipod all night, the next morning my phone was completly dead. That day I charged it for 10 hours, the battery indacator only showed 10%. I thought the battery was a goner. So I turned it off for 2 to 3 hours and when I turned it back on the battery was fully charged. Dont know if this helps you are not but you can try it.
Now I have a question. How can I uninstall an APP?

IPod won't charge, not recognized by iTunes

Hello, I'm having a few things going wrong with my iPod classic right now. At first, when I plugged it in to charge the low battery, it would say it was fully charged but as soon as I disconnected it it would show that the battery was still fairly low. And when I tried to sync it, it first gave me an error message that "the appropriate folder can't be found" and then, later, "an unknown error has occurred." Now when I plug it in it doesn't show up in iTunes at all--it shows the "connected" screen for just a minute but almost immediately goes to "ok to disconnect," and it isn't charging at all. Thanks in advance for any help.

Presario C700 Battery Charged/Not working

I used the HP test utility on my battery: Working and charging 100%. When I unplug the AC adapter the laptop shuts down. I tried to restart without the AC Adapter, but nothing. Nada. No power, even though the test says OK @!#!@#$#@$!@
Any suggestions please. Could this be a battery Jack problem INSIDE the laptop?

Battery Charge not Lasting

I recharge my battery as per the instructions, and then when it is unplugged from my computer, the yellow warning sign flashes "connect to Power" this also can happen even when my Ipod is switched off. Does any one have the same problem, I have thought it maybe a manufacturing problem and I need to return the I Pod?

Hey Claire,
Are you charging the iPod from a PC or from some other accessory, like a sound dock?
Make sure the iPod is directly connected to a powered USB port and not plugged into a keyboard, monitor, or hub.
