my shuffle won't charge. Will the reset correct this, or is it dead?

Hello loisflmom,
I love my iPod shuffle, and I would be concerned too if it wasn't charging. I found an article that addresses issues with charging the iPod shuffle more specifically. I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "iPod shuffle doesn't respond or won't turn on" in the following article:
iPod shuffle troubleshooting and service FAQ

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially died?

my ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially die?

maybe you can control the room temperature.... i try to charge iPod shuffle beside the mini fan, so heat from shuffle can blown away... or maybe, you can charge the iPod in Air Conditioned room....
i think this device have a mechanism to cut off the charging process if device temperature too hot. such a safety system so this ipod won't burn out when overcharging.
i hope it can help you...
and trust me IT WORKS....

I have a 4th gen Shuffle and when I try to charge it, a red light turns on and the Shuffle won't charge. How do I fix this?

So I haven't used my Shuffle in months and I don't remember how much battery was left when I stopped using it. When I connect my ipod to my laptop, a red light glows and my computer, nor my laptop will recogonize the ipod. It won't charge either. I've left it connected to an outlet and my laptop for hours but the red light won't go away. Help, please!

If you connected it to both your computer's USB port and a USB power adapter on a wall outlet, I think you've ruled out a problem with the power source. Since you at least get the red light, the USB docking cable is probably OK.
So, if it's not the USB port or the docking cable, the cause is likely to be on the shuffle. It may be the battery or a problem on the logic board. If it was just the battery, I think it would still appear in iTunes on the computer (or at least be recognized by the system).
(If this shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.)

Shuffle won't charge from car

I bought a shuffle for my wife's car which has a USB connection. It won't charge from it and it also has an extremely low volume which can't be adjusted because the volume adjustment is built into the earphone cord. Is there any solution to this before I get rid of this shuffle? My nano works in there perfectly.

Copied from my previous post in this thread.
I know if the iPhone's internal temperature if over a designated temp, you can't charge the battery until the internal temp has been reduced. This is protection for the battery and internal components since charging increases the internal temp.
When this occurs, the charging indicator will switch to showing as being fully charged.
Are you using a case?
Charging increases the internal temp of the iPhone, and using GPS will also increase the internal temp of the iPhone. Combined must have increased the internal temp of your iPhone past the designated temp when charging stops. Using a case can prevent heat from being dissipated properly.

Shuffle won't charge or show up in i

My 4th generation shuffle will not charge, there's no light indicator and it won't show up on Itunes....(I have a PC). It was working fine and is now useless. Is this fixable?

My old generation Ipod after two and 1/2 years went belly up. Never had any prior problems. Gloria still has her old Ipod working just fine after two plus years. I purchased my first new generation shuffle July 21st. After two weeks it started to static then went dead. PC then wouldn't recognize it. Apple support then sent a replacement late July. Aug 20th, it did same as first Ipod. Again contacted Apple and went through the process of replacement. In the mean time I got antsy, went down to same store and bought another new I pod. The first time using it, (true story, I swear) It quit working and is not recognized by PC or ITunes. Beginning process to have replacement sent. The good news is the second replacement is still working after one week.
What I believe is happening is they have made these new generation Ipods 3/8" shorter, so when replaying a song, I sometimes accidently hit the pause button simultaneously, or vice versa.

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?

Droid Incredible 2 won't turn on or charge, had this problem before...

I have had this problem one or two other times, and it progressively got worse. First it froze with nothing on the screen, but the back-light was still on. I removed the battery and replaced it, and it worked fine. A few months later, it did this same thing, but the battery trick wasn't working, so i tried cleaning off the terminals, which did the trick but i still ended up doing a factory reset. This time, it doesn't seem to respond to anything. I cleaned the terminals, let it sit overnight just incase some weird demon got into it =P, and it still wont respond to either charging or the power button. My brother has the same phone, and I tried his battery and it didn't make a difference. I have never dropped the phone, got it wet, severely thrown it across a football feild, etc. It has been in an Otterbox case that has not even seen the likes of a floor. What else can I do? If i do take it back to Verizon will i be eligible for a replacement? (I do think this is some sort of manufacturor's defect, unless i contracted some strange virus from an app or something of that nature) Any help is appreciated!

I had the same type problem - except I woke up to a completely dead phone, no damage, nothing, ever, I am really good at taking care of my cell phones, I guard them with my life because of their being so fragile. I had the phone charging on my nightstand overnight as usual, and it will do nothing, took it to Verizon, they examined it, saw no signs of damage, just would not come on, it's just dead. Never had any kind of problems like that with a phone before. Plus they won't let me get the phone I want without paying full price for it. I've been a Verizon customer since before it became Verizon! My phone has my life in it, I can do nothing, had to go back to a flip phone that I had with no date, and it's a dinosaur, an old razor~! I'm very dissapointed in Verizon not allowing me to upgrade before January 2013 - I am shopping around for another carrier and possibly even a no contract service - I've had it with trying to stick by companies and being loyal. The first time I really needed them to help me out, they dropped me in the grease like a bad habit! There seems to be no other way to get around this. The HTC Incr 2, just died for no reason at all. I really am upset about this, I have to have a cell phone for work, I can never be without one! I'm very worried about even purchasing a phone for fear that it could happen again and then I would be really stuck, again with no phone and in a contract that won't let me upgrade without paying $600 to $700 for a smartphone that might do the same thing that this phone did!

My 2nd generation iPod Shuffle won't charge or sync in iTunes.

As the title says, my second generation iPod shuffle will not charge when connected to itunes. I ventured to the apple store to seek another connection cable after my first one was lost, but alas, this has no effect. When plugged in, my shuffle stays dormant; it is not regognized in iTunes, and the LED light stays gray. Any Help to this Problem?

Shuffle won't charge...nada...nothing

Hello,
My son has a Shuffle. He manages it with an older iMac Graphite updated with OSX. Since it won't charge on the iMac's USB ports, we charge it with my Windows laptop. All of sudden, it won't charge on the laptop. I've tried to restore it to factory settings on the iMac, but no luck...it doesn't even see the iPod is connected to the iMac. I think the battery might be too dead but maybe I'm wrong? How do I get it to charge on the laptop again? It's like it's not even connected and the computer doesn't "see" it at all. I have two laptops, and it does the same on both.
TIA,
Christy

Hi,
I bought an iPod USB Power Adapter today, and plugged in the Shuffle. No light is coming on to indicate that it is charging at all. Does this mean the battery is shot? I did purchase an extended warranty on it from Best Buy and I'm thinking it may be time to take it back.

HP Pavilion dv6-2190us Notebook PC Battery Won't Charge & Will Now Only Run on AC Power

OS: Win7 (64-bit)
Serial #: [Personal Information Removed]
First off, I will say that the main battery I am using is not an HP OEM battery, however, it has been verfied to work and charge correctly in another family member's dv6 notebook. Furthermore, I have access to an HP OEM battery, from a family member's dv6, with which I have confirmed the same issue. FYI: I replaced my OEM battery about a year ago with an aftermarket battery when my OEM battery stopped holding a charge. This happened after before my laptop was 2 years old.
So, here's a description of the problem. About a month ago, even though my laptop was plugged in to the AC adapter, the battery stopped charging. The laptop continued to work until the battery completely ran out of charge. Once that happened, the laptop shut down, DESPITE still being connected to the AC adapter. At this point, as long as the battery was installed in my laptop, with the AC adapter still connected, it would not power up. The only way I could get it to power up was to remove the battery. Then, it would boot up just fine, but of course, I was now tethered via the AC cord, turning my laptop into a "thin and light desktop". If I attempted to put the battery back while the computer was on, connected to the AC adapter, it would shut down IMMEDIATELY. I took the battery and plugged it into my family member's dv6, at which point it charged just fine and worked normally. I then took the charged battery and put it back into my laptop only to have the same sequence of events repeat, i.e. laptop ran off of the battery despite the AC adapter being plugged in until it ran out of charge...had to remove battery to get laptop to start back up. I have also confirmed the exact same behavior with the HP OEM battery out of my family member's dv6. So, in a nutshell, it would appear as though my laptop has lost the ability to charge batteries and cannot resolve the fact that the AC adapter is plugged in when a dead battery is installed.
It should be noted that despite the normal operation of my family member's dv6 with my battery and the normal operation of my laptop with just the AC adapter plugged in, I did verify (via a multimeter) that the voltage of the batteries were within normal operating range and that the voltage and current flow of the AC adapter was within normal operating range.
Is there a separate charging circuit inside the dv6 for charging the battery? Is it separate from the motherboard and possible to replace? I've done quite a bit of research on this issue (or very similar issues) and despite some suggestions RE: BIOS issues, I just can't see how that could be the culprit. Nor can I see how "re-calibrating" my battery would address this problem. Note: battery does register at 100% when charged in the other dv6 and put back into my dv6.
Ok, I hope that clearly explains the issue. Please let me know if I can provide any further details to help troubleshoot it.
Thanks,
Eric

Okay, so the type of battery you have is designed to last approximately 1 year (see link below) it has lots of links to other useful docs too.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00596784&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4121239&tmp...
HP & other companies do sell Long life batteries but they cost more.
We would ask you to put the unit in our unit and run Battery check which is inside HP Support Assistant, make sure you have the latest version, same for your BIOS Version.
You will see there are bunch of tips on how to make your battery last longer, but you really need to start doing them from the start, if your battery is already 1 year old there is a good chance it is low enough on it's capacity to require you buying a new one.
You should check out our site, they often have sales, and Batteries would be under accessories.
Check out other sites too, compare.
Good luck.

My Iphone 5 isn't holding it's charge is this problem going to get fixed should I change my phone?

My I phone 5 isn't holding it's charge, have tried resetting it to factory settings as read on one forum.
Has Apple acknowledged there is a problem? is there a fix to this problem?
I have it constently on charge just to be able to leave the house with it.

Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the iPhone in to an Apple retail store or service provider.
Best of luck.

Why won't Apple fix this problem of iTunes Cutting off songs?

I've owned seven different ipods and three iPhones. On EVERY ONE OF THEM iTunes cuts off many songs after two or three seconds of playing. We're talking here about songs either uploaded from commercially purchased DVDs or the iTunes store. I have no bootleg music, I don't customize anything related to iTunes. I just buy music and download it into iTunes from MacBook Pro laptops that are similarly as standard as one can get. Yet when I listen to the albums of songs I've just purchased, random songs play for two seconds and then change to another song. When I've researched this issue across the Web I've found detailed complaints going back as early as 2004 and I can't believe that EVERY Apple iTunes system and device I've purchased over many years has behaved in this exact manner. What are these "Apple Support Communities" FOR is Apple fails to either correct the problems they report or, worse, even acknowledge problems that are documented by thousands of users of a wide variety of iTunes related products? I don't want to have to use a work-around or a reload or some of the other Rube Goldberg-like solutions others have suggested in these and other forums. I'm spending thousands of dollars on Apple equipment and software and I simply want the Apple iTunes devices and music that I buy to WORK AS ADVERTISED, which they don't. I just want my music to play as it is supposed to play. Why can't Apple make that happen?

That's happing to me, any solution ?

My shuffle won't charge

I just purchased a 2nd gen shuffle, and it wont charge. I plug it in, the orange light flashes a bit, and then the green light comes on and stays on. No matter how long I leave it in for, once I disconnect it and turn it on the light goes red, plays for about ten minutes, and dies. Anyone know what is causing this?

You can try the Restore button in iTunes, or the iPod Reset Utility
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
for a lower level reset. But that sounds like a defective iPod shuffle (bad battery). Since it's new, you should get it replaced.

Shuffle won't charge - on my computer only

I have a new (2nd gen) shuffle, and am having problems charging it. When I plug it into my computer (About 2 years old - I don't have USB 2.0 - Asus Pundit II, running Windows 2000) itunes recognizes the ipod. The light flashes orange for as long as it takes for itunes to "update the Ipod", which is essentially accessing it and recognizing what's on it. After this, there is no light. It does not charge. I have ran my ipod battery all the way down, and it will still do this on my computer, even though the battery holds no charge. I can at any time change the songs - the light flashes orange while it updates. But once that is done, the light stops and there is no further action.
I have been able to charge the ipod on about 5 other computers (at work, and friends) without any problems whatsoever.
I have already done the "5 R's" suggested. I have also tried all 4 USB ports - 2 on the front, 2 on the back.
I do not know if there is a problem with my computer - I have heard that some USB ports are not powered, although this does not make sense if it can still update when I have run down the battery all the way.
Any suggestions?
