HT201412 My device won't take a charge. What should I do?

My iPod 5th generation will not charge anymore. The black screen with the battery in need of being charged is all I see but sometimes the device will charge. When it does charge it only will charge to about 20% and then quit. I have tried using different chord, adaptors, ect. What should I do?

Go here and then under Learn More about iPod service, click the link. Select your location and it should provide you with a list of pricing.
Sorry, for some reason it did not show the first time. http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/contact/

IPhone 5 won't take a charge & won't restore from backup

My iPhone 5 stopped taking a charge. So I updated to 7.whatever & backed it up. It still would take a charge so I went through recovery mode. That seemed to complete (I've done it twice now) However, the phone still won't take a charge and it won't restore from my backup. (Since the initial run through recovery mode it has never accepted the backup. It alway errors out saying the iPhone disconnected. It never disconnected physically and I've tried mutiple cables so which worn on my other iPhone so they are not the problem. If I plug the iPhone in it will cycle between on and off and never accept a charge or allow me to get through the backup process without "disconnecting" Any suggestions?

Hello GreenLantern17,
It sounds like you are unable to charge your phone and it keeps disconnecting when you have it plugged into your computer, even though you have tried mulitple cables. If you have not already, try charging the phone with the wall adapter that came with it. If it works there, into I recommend starting with the following USB port troubleshooting for your computer:
Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
Restart your computer.
Restart your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you have not already.
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.

Howdy scrafts,
I would suggest this article named iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1277
Open Computer from the Start menu.
From the Organize menu, choose Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders," make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
Click OK.
Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
Right-click the SC Info folder shown and on the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
Restart the computer.

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 for a Mac and trying to install. I am at the point to enter the serial number but it won't take letters. What do I do and where do I go for help?

If the code you are trying to enter has letters then you are not looking at a serial number. A serial number only contains numbers - 6 sets of 4 numbers.
Find your serial number quickly
You might be dealing with a redemption code. This is especially so if you purchased it from a store or the like.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
