Ipod 5 on while charging?

should the ipod be on to charge?  if so, do i have to unlock the ipod?
sometimes i see the picture, showing how much it has charged, sometimes no.

My guess is that you're using a computer's USB port that does not put out enough current.  It's likely charging but extremely slowly.  Your best bet is to invest in an Apple wall-mount charger.

  • IPod Touch Overheating while charging and Using FaceTime

    Hello everybody, well I had my iPod touch 4th gen for 3 months and today while I was charging my iPod and using FaceTime my iPod became extremely hot and a screen popped out saying Temperature: iPod need to cool down before you can use it. It had a picture of a caution sign and I had to wait 2 minutes to let it cool. Does my iPod have a problem, because I done this before but nothing like this ever happened. Thanks

    Maye yes, maybe no. The only way to find out is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out.

  • IPOD MINI FROZEN WHILE CHARGING, PLUG WON'T UNPLUG

    Hi, I have an ipod mini that is frozen. I was charging it on a laptop w/out any apple ipod software installed, (does that make a difference?). When I woke up, it looked frozen and non responsive. I then hooked it up to my software installed computer, and it was not recognized. Also the plug does not disconnect from the unit. Help. Paula

    Paula,
    Let's clear up a misunderstanding here first of all.
    The iPod software is not "installed" on a computer, it's installed on the iPod. See my previous post on how to install the software to the iPod. Sure, the iPod updater is installed to the computer, but this is only a program that installs the software to the iPod.
    You can connect an iPod that has the software installed on it to any computer, the only thing that computer would need to work correctly with the iPod is to have iTunes installed on it.
    Have you tried resetting the iPod? It may take several attempts.

  • Any harm of having iPod in case while playing?

    Hi,
    Can there be any harm for the iPod if I have it in the case (which came with it) while playing music?
    Just wondering cause I read that you should not have it in the case while recharging it.
    Thanks,
    Rade

    There is no harm at all while playing it. The warning about charging it in a case is the iPod gets warm while charging and the case could make the temperature even higher.

  • My iPod went flat while installing new iOS now it wont even charge. Is there anything I can do????

    My iPod went flat while iOS6 was being installed and now it shows a white screen when charging but wont take a charge. Is there anything I can do??????

    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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one. Better off selling it yourself.

  • Is it possible to play the iPod while charging it?

    Is it possible? I am a dj and I use my iPod as a music source, but I need it to play for at least 4 hours.
    Is it possible to use a power adapter to charge, and still be able to play music while charging?
    If so, which accessories would be needed?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I do this all the time.
    You need a USB power adapter that connects an AC outlet to your USB cable and then to your iPod.
    You can get one from Apple here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB352LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTY1OTg1Nw
    Or get one from other manufacturers (I have one from Griffin, my wife has one from DLO). Check the prices.

    How are you charging it? Some people with iPads have experienced the same problem. It seems to be a problem with the wall charger. See:

  • My iPod Touch is not charging even while being plugged in.  I tried rebooting it and it's not working still

    My iPod Touch is not charging while being plugged in the computer or the wall!  It shows that it is plugged in and it goes back and forth from the Apple screen to it being plugged in, but it's been hours and it's not charging at all.  This is my first time dealing with this.  Has this happened to anyone?

    I just put it on an iPod dock to charge and it worked that way instead!  I guess it has more power charging it that way then a plug in the wall or plugging it into the computer.  THANK GOD!  I don't want to lose what I have on it!
