HT1476 Help!!! Please!!! iPod touch 8gb w/camera (older model) won't charge :(

Have an older model iPod touch 8gb w/camera that will not charge. I know it's not the cord or the device we are using to charge it because ithas been working to charge it before and it charges all our other ipod devices.
An example of what it does.The battery will show that it needs to be charged in the upper right corner, it'll be red. So we will plug the iPod in to charge. Even if it's plugged in all night long, it doesn't charge. The green battery icon that used to be on the screen when it was plugged in, no longer shows up. Also, the battery icon in the upper right corner doesn't change from red and doesn't show it's plugged in. I have tried to holdoing down the power and home button to reset the device. I'm not sure what else to try. Are there places to take your iPod for repair or should I contact apple? HELP!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

- See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

    itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

    I was surprised too, but I guess nobody gave a cr*p. I figured it out on my own. Basically, sync, then uncheck the box for the option to open iTunes when that iPod is hooked up, sync again, then check the box, and sync one last time. A dialog box pops up that asks if it's OK to install "iTunes Helper". Say "yes". Now it works.

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation completely black and won't charge

    I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I had it connected to an aux cord, playing music, and on the charger and then it turned off. The ipod felt hot right by the charger port. The screen is completely black. I tried holding down the sleep and home buttons, charging the ipod for a very long time on my laptop in all the usb ports and in the outlet in the wall. The ipod just stays black. It doesn't say if it's charging and when I plug it into my laptop, it doesn't show up on itunes or my computer. Please help!!!

  • IPod touch stuck in a loop and won't charge

    My iPod touch was left overnight with a full battery and was down to 20% in the morning. I've since learned that this is due to my ipod being connected to the wifi all the time.
    However, when I connected my ipod to my laptop to charge it up again, it started looping the same 2 screens repeatedly and just won't charge.
    First it shows the screen illustrating that there's no battery left and the ipod needs to be charged, then the loading screen (the white Apple logo) appears for about a minute before the ipod shuts off again. This loop doesn't end no matter what combination of buttons I press, and disconnecting it from the laptop just shuts it off again. If I try turning it on, it just tells me there's no battery.
    Any thoughts on what I should do with this? Thanks in advance

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

  • My ipod touch 8gb 3rd generation keeps dropping wifi.  I hate to reset since i've downloaded all of my itunes directly to my ipod.  Help!

    My ipod touch 8gb 3rd generation keeps dropping wifi.  Doesn't matter where I am - happend ALL the time.  Almost useless now except for all of my songs!   We don't have any other problems with other computers in our house.  I have downloaded all of my songs from itunes directly to my ipod (I know, I wish I hadn't) so I hate to reset or I will lose them all.  I have never downloaded any updates (I know, I know!) so could this be my problem? How do I find downloads and what do I need?  Please help if you can!

    If I reset my ipod will the wifi dropping stop?    I don't usually connect the ipod to my computer.  I charge it from the wall.  Should I be connecting to the computer instead?  Takes so much longer.  thanks for your help!
    The reset may help with the WiFi issue, but you'll have to do the reset to be sure. It does seem to cure a wide variety of issues. At some point you should be connecting the iPod to your computer/iTunes account, otherwise you risk losing all of your music and other content if you have a problem with your iPod.

    OR use this method
    1. Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen)and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
    2. Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the"Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
    3.You may let go when you see the silver Applelogo.
    Thats all Folks!!
