Charging icon problem...
When I plug in my 8110 to charge, it is not showing the plug symbol. I think it may actually be still charging, but the little icon is not showing up. Anyone know what's going on??? Thanks...

ok, is this a new BB or has this worked before on the device... any details?
If it is older, the USB charging port on the BB could have broken somehow, such as a pin might have broken.
Still, the USB cable you are using could be bad... any details you can provide would help troubleshoot this.

Ok, so I plug in my touch 3rd gen and I can't tell if it is really charging. It doesn't seem like it is. I can only see the charging icon sometimes, and then after the icon goes away, the ipod won't respond! I'm not sure what to do. Than I thought the USB port was messed up because it doesn't always work, but I plugged it into a diferent port and it said on the ipod, charging isn't supported with this accessory.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
My Ipod touch isn't charging or showing the charging icon!!
My ipod touch isn't charging at all. It is not recognized by itunes. It isn't showing charging icon both in the screen and at the top. I tried different chargers, usb cables and all. What do I do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Since you did not say how long the battery lasts I am nut sure the battery is the problem. -

Charging Icon shows full while charging when iPhone isn't fully charged
The battery/charging icon in the top right of my iPhone 3G will change to the "fully charged" icon while the phone is charging. However, the phone is not truly fully charged. Why is the icon showing up if the phone isnt even close to being fully charged??
I've had the same problem with 2 iPhones now, first one I had wouldn't charge and then just went completely dead. I had it replaced and guess what, same bloody thing. My phone hasn't been charging since last night and I'm honestly getting sick of it. I'm having this one replaced, my third iPhone in the past 4 months. This is the last one, if anything happens to is I want my money back and to **** with it.

My iPod displays black & white battery charge icon and sad iPod face. help!
I plugged my iPod into an older iMac; it froze and had to be restarted.
I restarted it and started listening on shuffle.
It would skip through all of my songs without me pressing any buttons.
I restarted again and it worked fine.
I came home and plugged it into my 10.3.9 iMac and the tracks started skiping and barely playing on iTunes.
I tried to eject it, but it wouldn't...so I unplugged it.
I then restarted it, but after the silver-on-black iMac icon came up, the sad iPod face showed.
So I pluged it back into the computer. It spontaniously restarted when I tried all of the steps of restarting and reinstalling.
Then it just displays a black& white old battery charge icon with a thunder bolt that flickers on the screen now and then.
And continues to restart itself with first the apple icon turning into the sad ipod face and then into the battery charge icon.
I really do not want to restore my iPod. I am hoping to keep my files but at this point, my future is bleak.
This happened last night. They said it might just be my battery so I kept it plugged in for about 10 hours. Nothing.
What can I do?
Please, please help.Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.
2. Do a search on Google and some topics on this discussion forum about “Sad iPod”
What should I do with my iPod? Send it or keep it?

Ipod 5th Generation charge icon not displaying when in hi-speed usb port
Interesting dilema. Charge icon displays when Ipod first connected, when updating, but as soon as it has finished does not show battery charge icon (lightning bolt)? Therefore I can only assume it is not. This is with battery showing 1/2 full. USB is hi-speed according to PC manufacturers info. Can anyone help?
I am having the same problem. I just purchased an 80GB ipod. I only get the lightening bolt when my ipod is syncing with iTunes. My battery indicator shows half full. How do You know if the battery is charging?

IPad will not appear in iTunes, nor show "charging" icon
While on a recent road trip, my iPad mysteriously stopped charging when connected to a wall plug. Or so I thought, as the "charging" icon never appeared. However, if left plugged in long enough, the iPad would slowly (very slowly) recharge. The same iPad will no longer appear in iTunes for synching. As I have multiple cables, I don't think my problem is with the cable, which works fine for my iPhone. Suggestions? Ideas?
Im having exactly the same issue with the syncing, but I can plug into the charger in an outlet and the IPAD charges fairly quickly. If I am plugged into my book pro then the IPAD is not detected at all.
I wiped mine thinking it had corrupted but now I only have the icon of the cable and ITUNES logo similar to when first purchased and starting up. Even though plugged in it will not detect. I have 3 cables, all of which work with my iphone 4 when plugged into my book pro. -
Ipod displays charging icon when not plugged in
Hey, i have had a 30GB ipod video for almost a month now but recently it has had this problem. When i unplug my ipod from the computer, the charging icons do not turn into the default battery icon. It still says its charging. As far as i know it does successfully charge when plugged in, however i cant check the battery life becuase it always displays the charging icon.
Also when i shut it down, by holding the play button, the charging screen is displayed. Im sure this is using battery life so id like to get the problem fixed.
Ive tried reseting and restoring, nothing has worked.
PS. I use the USB cable to charge, i dont have an AC adapter.
Thank youThanks, i wouldnt mind as much if i was able to see the battery life and be able to shut it down.
Any idea what would cause this? Even after reseting and restoring?
EDIT: Ok my ipod just now told me its out of battery life, after being plugged in all day.
Now it is stuck looping from the apple logo to 'no battery life..', then reseting and repeating. -
"Charged" icon comes on after turning off and stays on til batt. is dead.i
Sometimes after I turn my iPod off, the charged icon will come on. If left this way it will drain the battery. Also, most times my PC does not recognize my iPod and I have to reset the iPod for iTunes to recognize my Pod is plugged in. It seems to be freezing alot lately, skipping etc. causing me to have to do a reset where sometimes the problems are solved, but always temporarily. Ideas???
Do you mean the "restore" under summary when you plug in your iPod? If so, I have tried this and it usually does fix my problems, but always temporarily. Thanks for your help and/or any more ideas.

Every time i try to charge my Ipod5, the charge icon pop on and on every half second, but no charging actually occur.
I tried with all kind of charger, everywhere in the house and the result is always the same.
So as you can see its a pretty big problem as now that my battery is dead, i can't use my ipod anymore.
The ipod is 2 months old.
Thank you!I do not know what you mean by charger. Cable? Charging source?
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- 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 Genius Bar of an Apple store.

"Charged" icon does not go away when 5th gen Ipod is disconnected
When I unplug my Ipod from either the wall charger or computer USB cable, the Charged icon does not go away. After sitting idle, when it would normally go into sleep mode, the big green Charged icon displays on the center of the screen.
This obviously prevents the battery meter from reading correctly, and I think it's causing the battery to die prematurely.
I've tried restarting and updating the Ipod software. Any suggestions short of restoring??
5th gen. Ipod Windows XP
Windows XPI am having the same problem!
I had my ipod 5th gen docked to a iHome alarm clock, and after pressing the button on my remote to shut off the alarm the charged screen popped up a few seconds later (this is normal) however, the screen never went off, it is currently still showing the large charged battery symbol in the middle of the screen while being backlit.
I have tried the 5R's and this does not help. Do i need to bring it in to be serviced? Did you resolve your issue? -
IPod Nano 6th charging icon disappears while still plugged in
My iPod's charging icon disappears while it's still plugged in to my PC, as soon as I "eject" the iPod from Windows. So, to be as clear as I can (sorry for the repitition if you got it the first time - I just like to be sure): even though I have selected (either from iTunes or just via Windows itself) to "eject" a.k.a. "safely remove" my iPod from my computer, it is still plugged in to the USB port. The "Connected" screen is replaced with the menu, which is normal, but what I'm asking about is this: the battery icon in the top-right corner appears as though I have unplugged the device completely; the "charging/fully charged" indicator that I usually see when it's physically connected is missing.
So, my question is, is this normal? Could it be a bug in the iPod, or perhaps a bug in Windows 7? More impiortantly (to me), does the absence of a charging indicator mean that the iPod is actually no longer charging, even though it's still plugged into a powered USB port it was charging from only a minute before? I know my iPod never used to do this...

iPod: 6th-generation Nano (1.2 PC)

yeah i noticed that although it shows 'charged', it restores a tiny bit of residual charge to the battery, maybe 5-10% after being plugged in for 3+ hours. mine happens always however.
i've sent it back to apple and am awaiting a replacement (6-7 working days apparently) under warranty. hopefully the new one wont have this problem.
