Brand new Ipod touch won't charge or turn on

I recently got a brand new Ipod touch. The first thing I did was plug it in to charge it. A red battery icon showed up on the screen. I left the ipod on the charger for hours and the icon was still red. It won't turn on either. I have tried connecting it to ITunes but the red battery icon just comes up whenever I plug it into the computer and it does not show up on itunes. I am new to the ipod touch so maybe I am doing something wrong, or is there a fault in the ipod??
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

First try reset.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Brand new ipod touch not working like it should??

I have a brand new ipod touch that i got last tuesday.and every downloaded app will stop working after i have had it for about a day..like it starts to load the app then just goes back to homescreen..all pre-installed apps work fine.
but i have tryed restoring my ipod and it doesnt really fix it because all the apps stop working just like before..and i have also tryed deleting and re-installing the apps but is still doing the same thing.
Is there a way to fix this or should i get it replaced??
(i have a 2 year warrenty)

Maybe your using too much Virtual Memory. Try holding the sleep/wake button and the home button until you see the silver apple.

Help.. brand new Ipod 80gb not being recognised by Computer or itunes

Replaced a ipod mini that was stolen from my house with a brand new 80gb ipod. Plugged it into the same computer that had been used successfully with the mini and the ipod will not be seen by either the computer or itunes. It will charge through the usb post no problem but when you plug it in it originally came up with the windows new hardware wizard, as apple have for some misguided reason stopped supplying CD's, the wizard can not find the correct driver, and fails to install. When Itunes is running nothing appears. I have been through the 5 R's, or should I say 4 r's as the fifth rely's on itunes recognizing the ipod before you can restore, countless time, so please unless you are sure don't ask me to click the hold button on and off yet again.
Plugged the ipod into an old laptop with USB 1.0 ports and the ipod was recognized which would suggest it is my main comp's usb ports that are at fault, but as two previous ipod mini's worked without fault I find this hard to believe. I think if only I had the correct driver to install I could solve this problem easily. Can anyone send me the correct driver for an 80gb ipod.
It hopefully goes without saying that I have downloaded the latest itunes software and gone through all the post's on the this site. I thought I'd cracked it with the UBSSORT file post but it was not to be....to tell you the truth if it's this complicated I'd rather send it back and buy a sony mp3 or even an ipod nano. At my wits end so please help Obi one, your my only hope

Big Big thank you to Varun at Apple Service & Support e-mailed me the following article and after following the instructions, I'm up and running. Thank you ......

iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date

Brand new iPod Touch, won't charge!

Hi there,
Have posted this under another topic but hope to get some more exposure here.
Just as a disclaimer, I work for a retail store in New Zealand. Have taken a returned iPod touch home to try and fix, but am stuck! This iPod still belongs to my employer however, needs to be restored to a re-sellable condition.
Basically, the iPod touch will not charge. It is forever stuck on the 'no charge' screen with the red battery symbol and the lightning bolt at the bottom. This is when it is plugged in (have plugged it in to a PC, my Mac and wall charger). When not plugged in, same symbols appear except with a plug symbol, pointing to the lightning bolt.
When plugged in, the iPod doesn't show up in iTunes or Disk Utility, same on the HP PC laptop I also tried it on.
I put the iPod into DFU mode and restored it to the latest firmware with iTunes on my Mac. However, once the iPod has finished restoring, iTunes tells me it will show up after rebooting but once the countdown has finished, the same stupid 'no charge' symbols appear.
By the way, this iPod has been left charging on two different wall chargers overnight, I have tried restoring it several times and still to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I am totally stumped.
Cheers!

Well since it has not been charging on multiple computers i would take a look at replacing the usb cable. Something could not be connecting right or just needs to be replaced. If this has already been done it is starting to sound like a battery issue with the ipod.
Hope this helps!!

Brand new Ipod mini won't charge

HI,
Apologies if this has been covered before - I'm posting for a friend who's just bought a brand new 4Gb ipod mini, and having synced her music and having had 1 week of good tunes on the go, it now won't charge.
If you plug the usb 2.0 cable into the ipod and the pc (yes, I'm sure the usb is usb 2.0 on the pc), it brings up the charging icon, but instead of animating the bars etc, it sits still, with one bar filled in. And doesn't appear to charge, as there is no power to turn it on.
Has anyone else encountered this??
I'm sure people will say try another cable, and to this end, I have a 3rd Gen ipod, and am going to try my firewire mains plug, will this work? as my friend doesn't have a mains plug yet - though she's ordered one.
Any other ideas?
Is it just that the battery is knackered - even though it's only a week old?
Help
Cheers all
Pete

Jeff,
Thank you for the info - I apologise for cross posting I've been inactive on the discussions pages for about 6 months and had forgotten - I also wanted a quick response, which I got thanks.

Brand new iPod will not fully sync with iTunes

Howdy! My issue seems to be similar to the other thread "new 5G iPOd formatted for windows, no Movies tab????"
I purchased a new 30GB iPod yesterday and plugged it into my iTunes (7.0.2). After naming the iPod I set it to upload all my iTunes content to the iPod. Then the registration process comes up. Once I tried to complete it I got an error saying that the iTunes Store was having a problem and I should try again later. So, I waited until the upload was done and checked my iPod. None of my videos, audiobooks or any purchased content had been uploaded.
Having only owned a first generation iPod I was ignorant of what I should see in my iTunes window with this new one. I only have four tabs: Summary, Music, Podcasts and Contacts. On my Summary page the "Update" and "Restore" buttons are grayed out and the Software Version and Serial Number display as n/a. AND it was formatted for Windows (what's up with that?).
I went to the wife's computer and did a restore and a software upgrade (Version 1.2) and saw all these tabs that my iTunes didn't have! I was elated! Plug it back into my computer and I still have the same problem, nothing has changed. At least now I'm past the registration problem as I completed that on the wife's computer. When I try to manually move purchased content to the new iPod I get an error saying my software needs to be upgraded.
So, I believe that iTunes is confusing my new iPod with the old one. But, at least on the old one I was able to upload purchased content, if not video and photos. I did name them differently, so there shouldn't be any confusion there. One thing I find odd is that my old 5GB iPod has software version 1.5 where my new 30GB iPod has version 1.2. This must be the root of the problem.
Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

that sounds like the ipoddriver.kext has gone skunky on the Mac. see:

iTunes: No Photos or Videos tab in the iPod preferences pane in Mac OS X
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X

Brand new IPOD Shuffle won't charge battery!

What am I doing wrong???
I did download and install ITUNES, and added a bunch of songs that show in ITUNES,(that I put on the IPOD) and when I dock it, it blinks yellow, then goes to solid green. After I eject it, I try to turn it on, but, I get no light, and it won't play.
Any ideas?

I am having a similar problem with my iPod shuffle 2G. I read that the shuffle would not charge properly unless it was plugged into a high speed USB port (which I later discovered my computer does not have). I bought an A/C adapter in order to charge it from the wall (not from Apple). I charged it overnight until the light turned green. I disconnected the iPod and turned it on; the light stayed green for two seconds, then went off, and the iPod does not play.
I contacted Apple Support, and the only suggestion they could offer was that the A/C adapter I bought is not the correct one. I am now waiting for a second wall charger to arrive, to see if that in fact is the case. The iPod did in fact sync and load songs with no problem despite not having a high speed USB port. Anybody else experience this?

80 GiG Brand New iPod Will Not Connect- Wants Drivers

I run Windows Vista. My new 80 GiG iPod will not connect, saying it needs drivers. I guess I'm ignorant, but I'm stumped. The drivers are supposed to be in the latest download of iTunes, but they never are found. I have reset, re-installed my iPod and iTunes until I'm blue in the face. The forums offer no real help except to refer to several articles by Apple that don't give me a clue.
Help Please.

iPods use the standard Windows USB mass storage drivers.

I recently got a new iPod and I have money on my account but it won't let me use it unless I answer security questions but the questions aren't mine so how do I fix it

I cannot purchase items because it's says since it's the first time I'm purchasing items on this device so I have to answer security questions but it's not my security questions

If it is your Apple ID account you should know the answers...if you cannot remember, contact AppleCare at http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team, or the site from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

Brand New Ipod will not charge. Too low to turn on. Same icon for 2 days

I got this baby for christmas and recently it ran completely out of battery and I have had it connected to the computer for 2 days now and still no charge, Itunes does not even recognize it. If you got any help I guess just post on here or email me at [email protected]...
Thanks,

I have this problem too. My first generation Nano was revived by a Genius at the local Apple store when he connected it to an AC adapter.
Unfortunately, it seems that the Nano requires a small charge just to get it to the place where it can recharge using USB.
The solution: don't let the battery discharge completely, and/or buy an AC charger for the Nano.
I guess I should also change the settings on the iPod so it goes to sleep after a couple of hours. (I often listen to audio books while going to sleep, so the iPod plays all night, and uses all the battery power.)
Over the life of the iPod, the cost of an AC adapter is far less than the cost of buying disposable batteries, but it irks me that an adapter is necessary when the rechargeable battery runs out.

Brand new iPod touch not showing in iTunes - HELP!!!

It showed when I first got it home, then I updated to iTunes 10.1, and it wouldn't show. Called Apple, they had me put iTunes in the trash (along with some other things) and reinstall it. It showed again, and everything was fine - until I updated to iTunes 10.1.1, then it was gone again! Called Apple again, they had me check all kinds of things. Then had me reset my iPod touch. It came up with an error, and they said it was a hardware problem, to send it back to them and they would send me a new one. Got the new one today, and guess what? IT DOESN'T SHOW UP IN ITUNES!!! I'm beyond frustrated! I don't want to have to reinstall iTunes every time there is an update. I have yet another call set up with them, but if there are any other suggestions before then, I'm all ears!

(Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart)

Please can anyone tell me how to stop my 4s iPhone running down on the battery (despite fitting a brand new battery) and not holding charge for more than half a day - will the new update cure this problem?

My iPhone 4s will not hold a battery charge longer than half a day even if charged all night. I am now updating to 8.1.3 - does anyone know if this will make any difference?

Thank you for your help - I had the battery replaced in a phone shop in Bournemouth and think I need to take my phone in and ask them to check the battery but I have to have an operation on Thursday this week and may be a couple of weeks before I get chance to take the phone in - thank you for your helpful advice which I very much appreciate.

Brand new iPod Touch - not recognized by my computer or iTunes

I just purchased an iPod Touch today and it isn't showing up in My Computer or iTunes. My USB port is working because it recognizes other devises. I checked my USB port in Device Manager and it says Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller. I even uninstalled iTunes and installed it again. I'm just sick ... I have read everything I can find that might work, but nothing does.
If anyone has a suggestion for me, I would really appreciate it.
Martha

Thanks, Alex. The link you gave me says that there should be a Apple device listed with my USB's and it is not. I did find the driver USBAAPL.SYS in the Windows\System32 folder\drivers. Should it be somewhere else to work??? The Mobile Device Service is there and is started. I am completely iPod ignorant, but I did have a shuffle sometime back that worked just fine.
I appreciate your help. If you have any other advice, I would appreciate it.
