Ipod battery "screaming" and not recharging from wall plug.

One day I started using my ipod and I watched as the little green battery sign went to red in about 60 seconds.
When I came home and hooked it up to the USB cable it started making this horrible "fax machine"screaching sound...but it was recharging.
When I plugged it into the wall adapter it wouldnt recharge ...but the screaming stopped.
I have restored the ipod 5 times....and the same thing happens.
Am I killing it? What should I do?

Yea, I guess I have no choice. When I plug it into the computer I get the feeling it "wants to recharge"...but despite the charge light the green bar doesnt really move...

  • IPhone will not charge from wall socket only from Laptop or Computer!

    Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
    My IPhone will charge sometimes and sometime it wont:
    I mean like sometimes it will charge from the wall socket and sometimes it wont!
    It will go so far as to turn off because of no battery life! Then I plug it in to the Laptop and it starts charging!

    I have had this problem for some time. It applies to both a wall charger (the one that came with iPhone and a third-party model) and a car charger (third party). Both wall and car chargers are rated at 1000 ma which should be enough power. Yet when the battery charge goes below a certain level the phone will not charge from wall or car charger, but it will charge from a computer.
    I did some research on USB power. Per specification, a USB client (the iPhone) cannot draw more than 100 ma from the USB host (charger or computer or hub) unless it asks for and gets permission to draw more current. (This is so it does not interfere with other USB devices connected to the host.)
    Inexpensive wall chargers do not contain any computing elements. They short the D+ and D- lines together. This makes it impossible for a client to negotiate a higher current draw, so the iPhone, working per the USB standard, limits itself to 100 ma. When connected to a computing device such as a computer or USB hub, the iPhone can negotiate a higher current, up to the 500 ma currently allowed by the USB standard.
    This begs the question, why can't the iPhone charge on 100 ma when the battery is almost completely discharged? After all, when the battery has more charge, the iPhone will charge nicely from a wall charger. Perhaps someone has some insight into this aspect.
    There is evidently a new USB standard for wall chargers that will fix this issue. Both the host and client must implement in order for it to work. (I haven't read the standard, but suspect it involves the client detecting that the D+ and D- lines are shorted together.) Obviously, either the charger or my iPhone 3G don't comply with this new standard. Maybe the iPhone 3GS does? Or maybe we have to wait for another iPhone model that has the hardware that complies with the new USB wall charger standard.
    Meanwhile I have to be careful not to fully discharge my iPhone battery when I am away from a computer. I recently went on a 30-day trip and had no problem because I charged the phone every night. Of course, I did not use it much because it was an international trip and AT&T roaming rates are horribly expensive.

    Well, if you have not backed them up, they are gone.
    Next time, when you have important material in only one place, back it up.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

    My mini ipod appears off and not respond to any commands when pressed the buttons to reset, apple logo appeared and then the apple support site and it shuts down. already tried all the steps, but none worked, and when I plug it into my computer it does not appear in the iTunes bar. what do I do?

    If MacKeeper corrupted the Recovery partition then even I underestimated its potential for damage. Garbage "cleaning" apps will cause misery but I have not found that the Recovery partition to have been affected by using MacKeeper or anything like it. I doubt that it did so, but I have learned not to underestimate the potential for such things to result in system corruption.
    Before concluding your Mac has a hardware failure, try booting OS X Internet Recovery by holding command option r on startup (three fingers). That will force your iMac to bypass the Recovery partition altogether, and convey the ability to create a new one.
    An Internet connection will be required (wired or wireless).
    At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
    Assuming the HD remains usable you can then use Disk Utility to erase it. Reinstall OS X, restore your essential software and other files, and don't reinstall the junk.

    There is no built-in setting for redirecting a bookmark to a new tab.
    Is it possible that the computer which does that has an add-on such as the Tab Mix Plus extension installed? TMP has a setting for that (Events > Tab Opening).

  • HT1384 iPod Classic will not charge from wall outlet

    My iPod Classic 80G will charge from my computers and my iHome dock, but not from the wall outlet. The cord, outlet, and adapter all work. We know the regular adapter works, it's an Apple universal USB to wall adapter that charges our iPad. We tried other cords (have two), other outlets, and even my kindle 2-prong adapter. Nothing worked. Suggestions?

    Hello there, Anhaja.
    First off, great job in your isolating steps performed already. One step that wasn't mentioned is found in the following Knowledge Base article:
    How to reset iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    For your particular model:
    How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • 2 problems, iPod nano battery depleted and not recognized by Windows, help!

    Earlier this morning. At first when I connected the usb to the computer I got the screen in the nano that said "apple.com/ipod/support" or something like that, with the folder/exclamation mark icon. It was charging but I disconnected it cause I had to go. I tried to do the same at night but this time is when it's totally dead, and not recognized at all. What can I do now?
    I havent used the nano in a while and the battery is depleted, so I tried to charge it but neither windows or itunes or the updater/restore recognize it.
    I'm on a laptop, I already tried most of the stuff in the faqs but it wont work.

    i kind of have the same porblem, my klaptop does regcognize the ipod on "my computer" but the iPod dosen't shows up in iTunes, and i have tried almost everything in the faq that show how to fix the problem, but it still dosen't work....

  • I am planning to buy a iPod in America and bringing it back to Ireland and buying an Irish wall plug for the iPod, will this damage the battery because of the different voltages used?

    I am buying it in new York and brining back to Ireland

    You can even use a wall plug bought in the USA in Ireland.  The USA charger will accept eith 117 or 220V input.  All you need is an adapter to convert from the USA flat plug to an Irish style plug.
