Help ! ipod just going dead

I've had my ipod mini about 18 months now & just recently it's started playing up. It has started turning itself off completely. Initially I'd get the file warning icon so I downloaded the latest software & restored the ipod. The file warining has now stopped but it is still suddenly turning itself off , even when fully charged. Any help would be very gratefully received. Thanks

Yeah, I have this problem too with my 2nd generation (6GB) mini, started after I'd had it for about a year. Even if I charge my ipod over night or for several hours longer than the 4 hours it is supposed to take it rarely shows full charge in the meter once it's disconnected, and I can only use it for about half an hour before it goes dead. If you reset it, it will sometimes display half a battery and work for a lil while longer. Looked at a replacement battery but they're £77!!
I found that this problem was improved if charging the battery using an AC adaptor rather than charging by USB. This was good while it lasted but unfortunately the mains adaptor was borrowed from a friend so now it's back to it's old tricks!! Am currently in the process of restoring it to its factory settings, and hopefully this'll work.
If not, I quite fancy the red nano!!

  • Ipod just went dead....

    So - here's the deal. I charged my ipod last night - went to the gym, had about 38mins in on my run and out of no where my ipod just stopped working! I turned it back on and an image of an ipod with a 'sick face' and a warning triangle came up with "www.apple.com/support"
    This afternoon - I plugged in my ipod to the computer to try some of the trouble shooting suggestions and my computer will not recongnize that it's plugged in. And now it wont come on at all.
    I've tried entering in the serial number and it's coming up as invalid...I've had it since like 02 or something so really it's time to move on but still. I'm seeing that this seems to be a consistant problem with apple products so I am very discouraged to buy a ipod again.
    Is it trash or can it be saved?

    Hello thuffman.
    If you can manage to get it back on, can you force the iPod into DFU, or Disk mode? If it will not come back on, it is most likely a hardware failiure. Here is more info:

    Good Luck!

  • Battery will not power iPod. Goes dead as soon as AC is disconnected.

    I pod nano goes dead as soon as unplugged from AC. Probably needs new battery. Where can this be repaired?

    Either through a 3rd party site such as http://www.ipodjuice.com or http://www.iresq.com or you can do it through Apple.

  • AT&T just goes dead.

    I have had a few calls lately that just go silent. I am still connected, but the other end is dead silent.
    I'm in Western, MA...anyone else have this problem.

    I have had that problem off & on with at&t. I believe it is due to the half rate codex they employ. When the towers are overloaded you will get one way volume. It is quite annoying but fortunately does not happen too often.

  • My daughter's ipod just went dead and will not come back on

    My daughter was listening to her ipod touch (purchased last Fall) when it suddenly went dead.  Any attempts to try and charge it or connect it to itunes has been unsuccessful.  Any ideas what we could do, other than purchase a new one?
    Thanks!

    Hello Evasic
    Try different power sources, like a wall adapter or another computer and make sure that the computer is not asleep. Check out the article below for additional troubleshooting options to get it powered back on.

  • My iPhone just goes dead. It's not low on battery and this is the second one I have had do it. I have a 4s less than 4 months old. Anyone else?

    This is the second iphonev4s I have had to just turn off and can't get it to cone back on. I charge them to make sure it's not battery but they still won't come on. The first one did it within 30 days so they replaced it. My current one I have had less than 4 months. Anyone else?

    Unless you have another USB cable, and if that fails another computer to test the connection with, then I'd suggest you take the phone into an Apple store.

  • I have the ipad3,and I plug my charger in to charge my ipad and it comes up with the charging battery sign charges for a few minuets and then the white apple sign loads up into the screen then my ipad goes dead again,I hope someone can help:)

    I have an ipad 3, when I plug my charger in the ipad comes up with the sign to say it is charging and then the apple sign loads up as if the ipad is about to come on,but then the ipad just goes dead again,I've tried holding both buttons down and I have also tried charging it over night but still nothing is working.
    I hope someone could help:)

    When you say you tried holding both buttons, did you mean you held both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appeared, ignoring the red slider if that appears?  If so, exactly what happens?
    You may need to take the iPad and charger to an Apple store genius bar to be tested by the techicians.

  • Ipod goes dead

    can someone tell me why my ipod nano goes dead while not in use i tun it off put it on hold so it wont go on and when i try to turn it on its dead plz help me

    There are a few posibilities. First, you could have a bad battery in the nano; Apple can replace that. The next is that you might not be charging it enough. Could you give us some more info on the charge of your iPod when it goes dead?

  • Love airport express for music throughout the house but it goes dead from time to time

    Airport Express for music just goes dead
    is there a quick fix to this

    You don't really want 2 wireless networks. After you get the Linksys set up, you will want to configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network created by the Linksys base station. You will then have one wireless network that provides Internet and wireless music streaming.
    Use the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode to configure the AX.

    You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

    I have the same problem.. apps won't download and won't open. I have a 1st Gen ipod touch and recently upgraded my MacBook Pro (2012) and as soon as I upgraded the iPod Touch to 4.2.1, this happened. I restored to factory defaults and still cannot dl and open apps. Any way to diagnose this problem? Apple tech charges $29.99 for out of warranty products and if I am reluctant to pay with them telling me its simply a hardware problem.
