Ipod battery needs to be recharged, won't charge, computer doesn't reconize

I got my ipod (2gb, Silver nano) just a few days ago. I charged fine the 1st and 3rd day of owning it.
This morning, the battery was low when i was using it, i had used the battery up, it said it needed to be recharged, so i plugged it into my computer, and left it plugged in. I came back about an hour later. The ipod didn't even have the charged sign on nor did itunes/my computer reconize it.
I tried plugging it in, numerous times, but it never worked. My sister tried plugging it into her wall charger, but it didn't even do anything on that.
Can someone help?

    Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.

    From that article
    "Portables with built-in batteries"
    Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

    Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
    I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

  • Why does the battery need to be recharged so often?

    My iPod is brand new and need recharging every other day.
    Why and how does this happen?

  • Three iPods... all dead and won't charge

    I need some serious help. My 30Gb iPod, 2 weeks old, won't charge. My daughter's 2 month old 2nd gen Nano won't charge. My son's 11 month old 1st gen Nano won't charge. I have become quite proficient in managing the iPods. I have had to do a few resets on my 30Gb, but that's it. However, beginning yesterday, none of them will charge.
    I have 2 AC chargers (Apple, of course) and 3 different USB cords. I have 2 Dell Dimension desktops, both relatively new and up to date on all Windows updates. The computers would recognize my son's iPod yesterday (but not my 30Gb or my daughter's Nano), but it wouldn't recharge via the USB cables.
    I alternated all 3 USB cables on each computer, as well as the AC chargers. I tried 5 different AC outlets, and tested the AC outlets by charging my cell phones on them. I also tested the USB connections on my desktops by charging a digital camera.. no problems with the camera.
    My son's 1st Gen is the only one that shows any signs of life. It will infrequently flicker and say something like, "Please wait, low battery". Yesterday, it would say it was charging, but it never charged up and it eventually ground itself down into this sad state.
    I have no clue as to what happened with mine. It was well protected in my purse, about half the battery charge left, when I last used it. I pulled it out yesterday to update via iTunes, and it was so dead the computer wouldn't recognize it.
    Daughter was listening to hers yesterday, and the battery discharged. It's been dead ever since.
    I have all the latest Windows updates, reinstalled iTunes, and tried every reset option known to man. I don't know what else to do at this point, and I REALLY hate to package up all three of them and send them to Apple.
    Any suggestions? Help!!!!!

    I had the same problem with my old original iPad 1.  I read somewhere (maybe even in this forum) to try a 12-watt charger.  I bought the Apple 12-Watt power adapter on Amazon for 19.95 (also available at Apple stores for the same price) and plugged that iPad in today and it IS charging and everything on it is accessible!!  I am amazed and thrilled!  I wasn't optimistic with this fix, but it sure worked!  You might want to try it, too.  BTW...everything is still there..no restore needed.

  • IPod will update on iTunes but won't charge or turn on properly

    Hi,
    I've just downloaded iTunes 7 and now my ipod won't charge or fully turn on. When i plug it into the computer it updates normally but as soon as I try to turn it on while it's not connected or charge it in a powerpoint it displays the folder icon with a warning sign on it and shows the ipod support website on the screen. I've tried updating the latest mini software, restoring factory settings, and re-formatting but it won't work. When I restore it it says to complete the progress I need to plug it into a powerpoint but when I do this I get the same folder with warning sign icon. Please help!!
    Thanks

  • IPod 5th Gen. froze, shutdown, and won't charge how do I fix it?

    Please help me figure out what to do to fix my iPod 5th Generation. I put it on the charger, and when I came to check on it, it froze, then shutdown, now it won't charge or nothing. I tried rebooting it an nothing happened, please help me!

    All you need to do to solve this problem is to hold down the lock and home buttons at the same time and count slowly to 15. That's called a hard reset and it should reboot the phone out of the black screen funk. Give it a try - it should work. If it doesn't, bring it to the Apple Store. Good luck!

  • Bought battery for ibook G3 but won't charge up?

    Hi, my original battery for my iBook G3 600 was almost dead so I bought a replacement. I have been using the battery only for about a week now & charged it up only a few times. Everything was fine until last night.
    I put the ibook to sleep until this evening, when I tried to boot up I got nothing? There is a slight wirr in the background but no screen?
    I decided to test the iBook with my old battery as there was still a little life left in it. The ibook then booted up no problem?? I dont understand it?
    Can anyone help me with this problem? Be much appreciated...

    The green light means the battery isn't charging. When everything is running right, this means the battery is charged but when things aren't working right, it simply means the battery isn't charging (for whatever reason).
    These are the four most common possibilities when the battery will not charge:
    (1) there is something wrong with your battery
    (2) there is something wrong with your power adapter
    (3) there is something wrong with your power input board (the part that contains the port where you plug in the adapter)
    (4) there is something wrong with your logic board
    In your case, since you've already replaced the battery, eliminating it as the problem, it is likely either a bad power adapter or a bad power input board.
    Do you know someone with a known good adapter, or could you take it in to an Apple Store to have them check it out to see if another adapter will charge the battery?
    The power input (DC-in) board (the part of the computer which houses the adapter port) may be going bad if it sometimes will charge the battery and sometimes won’t. Sometimes it will work intermittently before quitting entirely. When a DC-in board quits working, the computer will run fine from the battery, but won't run from the adapter, and the adapter will no longer charge the battery. To diagnose a bad DC-in board, you need to make sure it isn't the battery or the adapter at fault by swapping out first one and then the other, If it runs from a known good charged battery okay, but won't run from a known good adapter, then you are going to have to replace the power input board.
    Usually, if it is a logic board problem, the iBook simply will not run from the battery. This happened to mine. The battery showed up in the battery status indicator. It was recognized by the computer and charged by the adapter (as shown by the battery status indicator). However, when I unplugged the adapter from the iBook, it was just like pulling the power cord from the wall on a desktop. The iBook immediately shutdown. Dead.
    My husband’s problem was quite obviously the power input board because the adapter tip had broken off in the port. Often (and, sadly, in our case), this damages the power input board so that it no longer functions, necessitating replacement of the board as well as the broken adapter.

  • I Let my Ipods battery run out and now it wont Charge or turn on

    Well it started yesterday when i noticed my Ipods battery was running out quicker then usual so i got told to just drain the battery (Let it run out of power) so i did that and now when i try and charge it wont responde at all any ideas???
    Ive tryed reseting it wont work doesnt responde to reseting

    How long have you been charging it since you let it run all the way down (not a really good idea with a lithium ion battery, by the way)?
    It sounds as if you were already having problems with the battery. Are you sure your cable and USB ports (or AC charger) are all functioning correctly? If yes, you may need to have your iPod serviced. A 3rd gen should still be under warranty.
    Best of luck.

  • My battery decreases rapidly and iPhone won't charge.

    The battery started to drop very fast some month ago. When it is fully charged then i plug it out, and it dies in like 1 or 2 hours, when I'm only listening to music and nothing else. I turned the bluetooth and 3g off and only turned wifi.
    Actually i listen to music for 10 to 20 min at the morning and the phone is fully charged. Then it rest for 4-5hours then i listen to music for 45mins or an hour during the lunchtime. After that, it rest for about 2 hours and i listen to music for 10 to 20 mins. When i get home, the battery percentage is like 20 something or 30.
    I used it for 1 year but the battery started to decreases rapidly just few month ago. I don't know why it started very suddenly. Because many iPhone users claim that the battery decreases just a little faster than before, and it continuously happen. and for me, it just started in a night. Before that happen once, the battery percentage was always 90 or 80 percent when i get back home.
    I do not tuen my phone off during the rest time.
    I did not hacked or illegally downloaded anything and i only have 10 applications in my phone. And i have more than 10GBs of pics in album. But i don't think that is related.
    On the other hand, it refuses to charge. Both usb on the laptop and charging on the wall. When it first happened, i thought the usb cable went wrong, because i wriggled it too much. So i threw that away and bought 6 more cables then it worked. Few months later, it stopped charging and i used another cable. Now i ran out of new cables. When i plug it in, it doesn't work. So i wriggled the cable but it stops charge my phone when it gets to 3%. When i plugged it on my laptop for few minutes, the battery percent increased to 20% from 10%, without 11%,12% or anything. Then it didn't worked anymore.its so frustrating that my phone battery dies in few hours and wont charged.
    How can i fix this?

  • Battery won't charge, computer won't turn on

    My battery won't charge, even though the power adapter light is on as if charging. I've tried using other power dapaters of the same model, with the same results; no charge. Now the battery is dead and the computer won't turn on. Should I just get a new battery?

    I tried resetting the PMU, before the battery totally ran out. Now I'm sure the battery is totally dead, but not sure if it will charge once I get a new battery. Looking at other postings, it sounds like the problem could be with the logic board.

  • IPod Freezes on Startup; Won't Charge; Computer Won't Recognize

    I just got a used iPod in the mail yesterday... When I try to charge it using a USB drive or a wall charger, it appears as if nothing happens. When I have it plugged into my USB drive, my computer doesn't recognize anything...
    I've tried using the "reset" feature, and every now and then it gets the Apple logo to come up, but then seems to freeze at that point. A few times it's come up with the "Use iTunes to restore" message after the Apple logo, but then seems to freeze there as well. I'll plug it into my USB drive, but again nothing is recognized by my computer...
    I don't even know where to begin. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I should add that it's a 5th Generation 30GB Video iPod

  • IPad battery drained overnight; now it won't charge; what do I do?

    My iPad (first issue) drained overnight and now it won't charge. Totally dead.
    What shall I do?

    Hello Christie,
    With it still plugged in, try a hard reset to see if that helps.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may or may not work the first time around, so be sure to try this at least a couple of times.
