Charging problem leads to ipod touch 4g non working.

Ok, so one day i used my ipod for an entire day. I decided to charge it at night (A routine that i always do). When i started to charge it, for maybe the first ten minutes, it was stuck in the red level of charging. It was charging. I checked on it seemed like it was charging normally but it seemed to be charging, then not charging, then charging again. It kept on doing this for a bit. So I went on the Apple Forums. I found the thing that i was hoping to see! Another person with the same problem as me. It said that one day it just did this stop charging and going chargin thing. So i scrolled down. I saw the first suggestion there and decided to do it. It said to turn off the ipod, I did it. Then it said to press the home and standby button for not that long until the apple logo dissapeared. I did this. I pressed the two buttons. The logo screen with the apple, stating that the ipod was turning on, appeard for about two seconds, then dissapeared. And that is the last time i have been able to use my ipod in the past 4 days. I didn't take it to seriously at first, but now that it is at the fourth day, its kind of scaring me. I mean, I paid about 340 or something for the 32 gigabyte version, and expect it to last atleast 3 years. Its only lasted 2. Now, im not to scared about this. I mean, I did what the person in the forum asked. I guess i didn't see some secret way of turning it back on. Oh, and i also think that my cord might have had something to do with it. When i got to school, i asked a friend to plug there ipod into my charger, and it didnt charge there ipod. So i dont know if my ipod is toast, if i gotta take it in to the apple customer service thing or what. All i know is that i did the thing that the guy in the forum asked. Now, i know that u might be thinking for me is to go back to the forum and relocate the forum thing, but i cant Ive tried and searched and searched. Ive looked through my history and cant find it. So if anyone has an answer, or has a link to a helpfull forum, or the same forum, please PLEASE HELPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely, kanertazer

Lol. Sorry, not to scare you, but I had to get it replaced from apple Ya turns out that even if it's their problem(which it definitly is), I had to pay 110 dollars to get a replacement unit. They just give you an Ipod. No chord or headphones. Not even in a box.
To do this, go to your closest apple store, make an appointment and they will have to get an exact copy of your ipod back from the factory. In your case, if it doesnt work, it might suck a bit to pay apple more money for another ipd considering its quite new and that the battery is still alright. Atleast for me, my battery was kindy bad at that point so ya. It wasn't to to bad. But to be honest, TWO years ain't what these things are to last for.
My friend has a 2nd gen ipod and has had it for almost five years. The battery's crap, but he just listents to music anyway.
Anyway, hope ur ipod gets better

Is there a charge for texting from ipod touch to non apple phones?

My kids have ipod touches and a couple of their friends have cell phones they are texting to. Is there a charge for this? They do have Textie, but I don't think all of the kids have that on their phones.

It depends what application you are using. The standard Messenger application that comes with iPod 5.0 Software can only messenge iPod to iPod. A third party application, such as textPlus, (which I use) can text to phones for free, with internet connection. The incoming text dosn't charge the recipient. So it is, as it says, free texting.

If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem. I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

Lots of problems with my iPod touch 4th generation

I am having a few problems with my iPod touch 4th Generation. I have been having them for a while and I would really like to get them fixed.
My first and main problem would be that my iPod touch is not being recognized by my computer (windows) and it will not sync to iTunes. I am certain it is not my USB cables fault because I have tried it with three different USB cables and all of them have had the same result. It has seemed to be completly fine until I updated to ios 6. I would restore my ipod to ios 5 but I can't get my ipod to be recognized by iTunes and restore it.
My next problem is that my ipod is charging but it does not show that it is charging. The thing is though that it will only charge when it is hooked up to a very high powered source like my computer. My ipod dock works but it says it uses 160 watts of output power. It will not be charged from another wall charger and it will not charge in the car with a car charger.
I would love some help with this. I have been having these problems for a while and it is starting to annoy me a little.
Thanks in advance.

Type "ios device not recognized" into the search bar at the top of this page and read the resulting help article.

I have a problem with my ipod touch jack. When I listen to music (using non aple headphones and the headphones it came with)it doesn't sound as good as my mp4 player so I purchased an adapter and it still doesn't work what can I do?

The phono input is for a phonograph. The iPod does headphne output is not that same as a phongraph output. Does th stero have an AUX input? That should be compatible.

101 Problems with my iPod Touch and iTunes...Almost

It really feels like I have 101 problems with my iPod touch and iTunes.
For some time now my iPod Touch have been using alot of batterypower and the battery is often discharged very fast. It discharges alot faster now than when I brought the Touch.
Also when I plug the iPod Touch to my computer it doesn't charge, it does the oposite of that, it's disharges and it does that ALOT faster than normal
There is also a problem regarding connecting the iPod Touch to iTunes. It doesn't connect to iTunes directly after I have plugged it in. It feels really random and it lives it own life it seems like.
If I accomplish to connect ut to iTunes it doesn't sync every single time. The computer / iPod Touch hangs and nothing happens. Soemtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, like I said before - It feels really random!
Now to a BBIIGG problem. A week ago my girlfriend changed my password on my iPod Touch. When she typed the password into the login screen, it failed, she had forgotten the password / she thought that she picked that password when she changed it. Anywho, I didn't panic becuase I knew that I could lock it up by iTunes.
But, iTunes gives me a error while trying to restore the iPod Touch saying that there is no update avaiable and after that nothing happens. I tried to do the Sleep / Power + Home trick to set the iPod Touch into a recovery mode but iTunes gave me a unknown error.
I tried to update iTunes from my version to the new 8.0 version but when I do so it gives me a error saying that iTunes.msi can not be found and it can't uninstall the previous version :S
So, now I have a unusable iPod Touch, I can't do nothing with it.
Like I said, It's really feels like I have 101 problems ;D.
Lucky I have my old iPod so I can listen to Music :P

Are you running windows xp or vista? I know the solution for vista but not for xp. My mate had the same problem but he has a vista.
Let me know what you are running.

Problema con l'Ipod Touch 4g

ho provato a scaricare alcune applicazioni, ma dice che è impossibile connettersi a Itunes store. Ma io sono connessa alla rete wifi, perchè mi dice cosi?Non l'ha mai fatto fin'ora! cosa devo fare?

Hello! I have a big problem with my ipod touch 3G, because when you turn it on, it only gets to the apple, then turns off, turns back on and keep it up .. Then I try to restore and gives me the error (9) is supposed to do with the cables, usb ports, but I tried with 3 different cables with and without dock, I need someone to give me an answer please.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
Did you try another computer and disable security software?

Problems syncing the iPod touch

My iPod Touch synced fine at first, but now all I get is an error message
"The iPod (xxx)cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." What am I doing wrong? I have tried resetting it, restarting it. Now tempted to 'relocate' it into the garbage .... Help!

I am having a similar problem with my iPod Touch. I have a fairly full iPod with 16Gb. capacity. I sync calendars, contacts music video and podcasts. For some reason when I include my selection of photos I get "This iPod cannot be synced. Unknown error -50."
If I leave the photos out it seems to work. Also, I have tried a restore, and now I have lost my notes ( I have the January software update)
Any ideas what is going wrong?

I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT...

I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT54G router. I am so frustrated right now because after following the various steps mentioned in one of these threads, following Earthlink's prompts, and speaking with Apple, my iPod touch will still not work. It is connected to the internet but will not download the pages. It is quite frustrating. I have changed from WPA to WEP, I switched the 4th Generated key to the 1st. I've disabled this, enabled that. I've done just about everything. I updated the firmware. I made the switch from a partial bridge to a full bridge. Still nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any other suggestions? The one thing I have not done is enter the Apple code into the iPod which searches for website...-- I cannot access the internet with my iPod so this web address does not work. If anyone has been successful, will you please give me step by step instructions? Yesterday I was on the phone with Linksys for about an hour. Before that with Apple for about an hour and before that with Earthlink. How it is that I can walk into a Bread Co. or Apple Store and immediately connect to the internet with my iPod but I can't in my own house?? Everyone seems to think it is someone else's problem so I've gone around and around. Not one of the Linksys support personnel suggested I look here on this community forum. I had to pay the $9 fee to have advanced Linksys help but still my iPod does not work and when I called back, the man I spoke with seemed to think the case was closed because my PC, Laptop, and iPod are connected to the internet -- the iPod just won't download the webpages or get mail. My iPod's IP address begins with 192. I would appreciate any help on this matter

I had the same issues with my iPod touch & iPhone. It's a known issue with the touch & Linksys G routers. Go into settings on the touch & do the following.
1. Settings - wifi - linksys
2. Erase your DNS settings & input same numbers as in router
Settings.
3. Http proxy should be
in off position.
4. Close out & open safari you should now have a wireless
connection.
