Ipod battery charging problem not found in any posts

OK here's the problem
The battery meter on my 5g flashes that charging symbol, even when it's not plugged in the wall.
And sometimes when I use my friends griffin charger it charges and than stays on the charged symbol even after I unplug it.
Also my apple charger doesn't work at all (not just mine, I borrowed my friends and it doesnt either work).
Also when I plug into the computer it mounts but doesn't charge.
OK I'll tell you what I did so far: I read ALL of apples related battery documents. I restored. I depleted the battery and recharged it. I bought a new cable.
I used my friends computer. I used the back USB port. Nothing is helping the ipod.
By the way I know for a fact that this all started when one time i did actually use the front usb port. It sort of jinxed the whole battery meter into it's current state. Any one with this problem? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Ipod nano charging problem

I got ipod nano today.
After unpack I tried to charge 5 hours but it never charge up.
So I disconnected usb cable and tried to operate ipod even there was mark of very low charged mark on screen.
But it turned off suddenly with message of low battery.
So I had to charge again but I saw the big low battery sign with thunder mark on the center of screen with some buzzing sound and tiny bip sound when I connect ipod nano to USB port.
Are these normal?

Bought an Ipod Nano today and I GOT THE SAME PROBLEM!!
I could not start it at all, charged it for like 4 hours, nothing helped.
What I though could do, was mount it to the PC, and the PC could feel it, and I could see the drive etc.
Now to the solution, I ran the update Ipod program, and updated the program in the Ipod, and RIGHT AWAY it lighted up and now it seems like it works?
Really strange.. Try to update yours to!

Ipod Photo charging problems

HELP!!
When I charge my iPod Photo, the charging icon animates, and all seems well.
However, when I unplug the charging lead, (even after it charging overnight), the battery status indicator is lower than before the charging started, almost as if the charging process has actually UNCHARGED it!
This happens when I charge it from my PC and when I charge it from the wall adapter, but does not do it when I charge from my car kit.
Please help as soon as possible.
Many thanks - Gary

Sorry, realised I didn't explain this very well.
Basically. iPod doesn't work. At all.
Plugged it in to charge. The apple icon comes up for a while, then is dies. If I press select + menu, the apple icon comes up for a while, then dies. If I leave the iPod alone, the apple icon keeps coming up, then dying (I can hear something "switch off" when it dies too.
Thanks,

Ipod mini charging problem

My daughter's ipod mini seems to have issues. The latest is when you plug it into the computer the apple flashes and makes a clicking sound but that is it.Won't charge or turn on. It has happened before and usually after awhile it will start charging . No luck this time. Any ideas?

IPod/iHome charging problem

My iPod 5th gen will play music from my iHome iH150 but it will not charge from it. I have tried reseting my iPod by turning it on and off and reset my iPod and reset my iHome by unplugging it for 15 minutes but thats the only way to reset it since it doesnt have a reset buttom. Can someone please help me?

All you can really do is try another cable. If the dock connector on the iPod is bad, a place like
Simple and Affordable iPod Repair Services and parts from iResQ
Will replace the connector but the cost is likely not worth it for a 1G iPod

IPod Touch Charging problem

Hi all,
I have not used my iPT in a few days and today I connected it to my PC to charge it up a bit. There were a few updates for some of my apps, I downloaded these via iTunes and synced to my iPT. When I started to charge it there the battery indicator was still in the green, it has now gone to red and I get the 10% battery remaining notice on screen. It's connecting to my PC fine so I know it's not the USB port.
Any ideas why the iPT will be losing power when it's supposed to be charging?

Sorry. fist time post and couldn't figure out how to post so simply replied to this post.
I too am having "trouble" charging a 2g 16gb touch. cable works - can sync. seems to be charging - battery icon on status bar quickly alternately blinking with charge icon (picture of lightning) and cable (picture of plug) icon - but the thing can't seem to charge. The device is 2 days old.
All I seem to get is this blinking icon or the low battery image - to no avail!! anyone?

Ipod Classic - Charging Problem

I havn't used my i pod in a while, it is dead, i plugged it into a charger, and i can go on it while it's charging, but when i plug it out it goes dead and i can't turn it on? i have charged it for a bout 5 hours now and still nothing?

It sounds as though the battery has worn out and needs replacing.

Another 5th Generation Ipod not charging/sync problem.

I have two 5th generation (aka video) iPods.
One works fine but the other does not charge either by using a mains charger or through USB through the PC..
Also it is not being seen by the iTunes or Windows Explorer.
The fact that one iPod is ok should prove that my chargers cables and PC are ok but to be absolutely sure I've tried new chargers, cables and another PC and the result is the same, one iPod ok, the other one appears faulty.
Strangely the only way I can get the suspect iPod to charge is via a firewire connector connected to a Mac
Other than that the iPod plays music ok and all the other functions work ok.
So far I tried........
Confirmed the iPod is configured for Windows
Checked the dock connector pins and they seem ok.
Tried a reset. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1382
Put the ipod into Disk Mode http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
When the iPod is in Disk Mode it displays a tick and ''OK to disconect '
I then plug it into the computer but nothing happens.
I've also tried a diagnostic test
http://www.wikihow.com/Access-and-Run-Diagnostic-Tests-on-an-iPod-Video
All tests seem ok apart from the USB connection test which says No Cable Connected.
Apart from a hardware problem any ideas?

Same Ipod .
Same problem.
Same steps taken.
Anyone?

2nd dead iPod Touch 4G in 2 months? Battery/charging problems!

Hi everyone,
It seems as of tonight that I will have to return my second iPod Touch 4G in the last two months. In both cases, it was an issue where the device would no longer charge, and became very hot on the top of the back panel when the device was turned on even for a few seconds (while not being plugged in). In the first case, the device seemed to be defective from the time I opened the box, which was confirmed at an Apple Store, but they asked me to ship it to Apple Repair to be checked out. Apple took a very long time to get a replacement to me, but was good about that problem, and I was happy with the replacement for the past month when all of a sudden tonight the new one would not change and became very hot.
Is this an issue that anyone else has seen? I essentially only charged it off of my laptop or a wall charger unit, but it seems like the battery essentially is shorting out. I love this device, but actually need to use a PDA-type device enough that I am questioning whether I should get a replacement or go back to my old Palm TX.
Thanks for any thoughts/feedback on my iPod Touch 4G battery/charging problems.

Most battery complaints complain about loss of charge. The iPod is designed to lose heat through the back as the battery discharges. This is most common when using the device a lot - like playing games. If yours will no loner charge, by all means return it to Apple.
As far as being a PDA goes, it is as good as any smart phone out there. The PDA, as you once knew it, is dead and has been for 5+ years. Take your iPod to an Apple store and insist on a replacement.

Syncing and Charging Problem with 1st gen iPod nano

I purchased a 1st generation iPod nano via eBay about 3 months ago and have developed an interesting syncing and charging problem. When I plug the nano to my iMac, frequently neither the computer nor iTunes will recognize it. I have done "the five R's" with occasional success. I've tried jiggling the cable in the computer port and sometimes it works in getting iTunes to recognize the nano, sometimes it doesn't. Even when I am able to get iTunes to recognize the nano, I have frequently found that the nano hasn't charged up at all. In fact, a couple of times I found it almost totally drained of power after having been connected to my computer. Yes, I have the most recent version of iTunes installed on my iMac and my iMac, by the way, is relatively new - having been purchased in May of this year. What is interesting is that I've taken my nano to work and it has absolutely no problem charging up on my Dell (yuk!). For the record, I do not have iTunes installed on my work computer and I am not allowed to add any apps to my work computer without the consent of my supervisor. The chances of getting iTunes installed on my Dell at work are pretty much nil. Any suggestions on how I can fix the problem?

I bought a new USB dock connector and hoped, with fingers and toes crossed, that something positive would happen. Sure enough, I was able to sync and recharge my old iPod nano. I guess the original USB dock cable is on its last legs. Not totally broken, but no longer reliable. I consider my problem solved! My thanks to everyone who took the time to read and try to solve my iPod problem. I greatly appreciate it!

1st-Gen iPod charging problems

I have had a 1st-gen iPod touch since Dec 2008 and really love it. One annoying problem that I have found with it is a charging problem that I think that I have finally nailed down. I use a wall charger to charge my iPod while idle and while I use it. When I am using my iPod while charging, I have noticed that it sometimes does not charge properly. It appears that when using certain apps such as Pandora or other non-Apple apps, the battery indicator will go from the charge symbol (lightning bolt) to charged (plug) even if the battery is nearly discharged. I've tried resetting the iPod, etc. and the problem persists. I can switch apps from Pandora to the built-in music player and the batter will resume charging. Does anyone have any details on this behavior? I was unable to find anything searching the web. Thanks!

I have a 2nd gen and have not noticed that with Pandora or actually any other app. That seems pretty strange that an app would suspend charging. You should at least try to correct it with a restart, reset, restore routine. If you are not familiar with how to do these things, it's pretty simple.
Restart - hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the red slider. Turn the iPod off. Restart by holding the Sleep/Wake button down until you see the Apple logo and release it.
Reset - hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down together for approx. 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Release the buttons.
Restore - plug your iPod into iTunes and, on the Summary page, select Restore.

IPod Touch 4G Charging Problems

The third-party charger that I have been using for a year stopped working. I eventually figured out it was the charger, not my PC or iPod. So I use my old Apple charger that came with my iPod which stopped working somewhere in mid 2012 early 2013 (got iPod on Christmas 2011). When my iPod dies, I plug it in with the Apple charger. It will boot up unless I touch it, even a bit, and I have to reconnect it to charge it. Then, while I'm not there, iOS boots, as usual. But, it shows a charging battery in the corner, but the lock screen has my wallpaper, not the battery. Everyonce in a while when it's plugged in, it will go from 20% to having the full charged symbol, and it's not fully charged. Everyonce in a while it also says "Charging not support with this accessory". Also erlier today when my iPod was plugged in, it made the charging sound, one after the other, four times. And nobody was there and the charger was exactly how it was left. It is starting to get really bad and I might get a new (sorry, non-Apple) device. PLEASE HELP! Thank you.
