I have a G1 IPod and it will not charge. Is this normal?

I need help.

My 2nd gen iPod Classic battery died years ago but still works when connected to a power source. If yours lasted this long, that's amazing.
As planb77 mentions... time for a new battery.
You can get an iPod nano for as little as $49. That's probably less then a new battery for the G1 iPod.

  • How do I reset my computer password?  I have it written down and it will not work.  This is different than my apple ID

    How do I reset my computer password so I can download software to my computer?  This is different than my apple ID, 
    I wrote it down but it is not working.  Need help

    You have encountered the Activation Lock. If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a "certain" (your word not mine) Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must enter the certain" Apple ID and password to use the device. If you cannot do this you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes

    I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes, I have tried pressing the power button and home botton together and nothing happened.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Also:
    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

  • My ipod (4th generation) will not charge.I have tryed a wall cherger and charging on different computers.Nothing! what should i do?

    help me my ipod 4th generation will not charge. i have tryed a wall ataptor an other computers.What should i do? Should i get a new ipod or should i try and get a new charger and see if that helps.It has not been changing for two weeks straight now .Help Please.

    Either your USB cable for the charger has been damaged or the part of the iPod where you insert the USB cable is damaged. This usually happens due to water damage or carelessly removing the USB plug off from the iPod. Hope this clears some doubts
    You might also wanna try and check with the Genius Bar at Apple, they usually know whats wrong.

  • So I have an I Pad that will not charge. This is the second time that this situation has occurred the first time it was covered under warranty (But not this time). So they offered me a new old one for $250.00 and 90 day warranty. Seems like the life if th

    Any thoughts about my second go around with an I pad that will not charge. This is second go around and I'm wondering if I should repalce or opt out and go different route ???? Can not imagin that Apple could give the type of support  I'm recieving and continue?? The first one was under warranty not so lucky this time.

    Go to the Apple Store and try a different charger & cable.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export?

    I have Adobe Premiere Elements and it will not let me export? It also will not let me login. It says  photoshop.com is temporarily unaivalable and to check my network settings. Error 400. Can anyone help me? I need to export this video as soon as possible.

    You don't say which version of Premiere Elements you're using, but Photoshop.com was discontinued last year, so you won't be able to log into it.
    As for exporting -- it's hard to give you specific information without knowing which version of the software you're using and on what operating system but -- which Share or Publish & Share option are you using and what is happening when you use it?

    You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your MBP.  Personally, I would not waste my time "troubleshooting" if the normal solutions do not work.
    Return the MBP for one that works before your 14 days are up and/or call AppleCare ASAP!!!
    Good luck!

  • I have an IPhone 3G and it will not restore...

    I have an IPhone 3G and it will not restore. Unfortunatley, I have to make it restore because I cannot use it at all. I have tried to restore it a total of 4 times but each time a message comes up saying that an error has occured. I need to restore the IPhone in order to use it in my daily life. Can someone help me?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If this does not work, try to delete the iphone software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged.
