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.

    When you connect the iPod to the adapter or PC, you should see either of these signs on the iPod Screen .
    If you just get
    It may mean that your Adapter is not giving enough juice, because
    the adapter or the cable  is defective or
    your bottom dock connector is dirty with lint or dirt.

    hi gary
    have you tried to sync your ipod ,when you click on the side where it shows your ipod?
    Click on where it shows your ipod name for example garys ipod,when it opens up the summary page click the sync box,bottom right,and see if that helps.

  • My ipod classic charges but cannot connect?!

    Whenever i connect my ipod classic to the comp it charges but it immediately says "ejecting" and then "ok to disconnect" i have tried many usb ports on my usb hub and none of them works. What do i do?

    Hello awks888,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I don't have very many suggestions for you, but the ones I do have are worth a shot. Have you tried manually forcing the iPod into *Disk Mode* while connected to your computer. This may help your iPod stay mounted long enough for you to Restore it via iTunes.
    [Putting iPod into Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363]
    If that doesn't do any good, try connecting and restoring the iPod on a different computer if at all possible. This will also help you determine if the problem lies with your iPod or with your computer itself.

  • IPod classic charges but cannot be read on the mac.

    I have an iPod Classic. It currently can recharge if connected to a Mac, but can't be seen on the desktop or in iTunes for more than a few seconds. When connected, the connected window comes on for a few secondds, followed by 'OK to Disconnect' and then it disconnects...if not charged the battery icon comes on.
    The iPod works fine as far as playing what's already on it goes. I've used different leads and 3 different Macs. I've resetted it, switched it to drive mode and back (same situation in drive mode as in normal mode).

    It seems like the issue likes with the iPod's dock connector port, since you have ruled out the possibility of a bad USB cable, faulty USB port, or configuration on any of your Macs.  Have you looked at the port to check for any broken, bent, or corroded pins?  If there is any lodged debris, take a can of compressed air to the iPod to see if that does any good.
    Otherwise, try to connect the iPod to one of your Macs in Disk Mode and see if that helps it stay mounted on your Mac long enough for you to perform a restore operation.

  • IPod classic charger with iPhone 3g ???

    I will be receiving a 3g phone tomorrow. I have a question concerning chargers. Will the charger I have for my iPod Classic video 30GB work with the iPhone 3g??

    Even though the connectors might be the same, they probably charge differently and use different levels of voltages. You can try it out and see if it will work, it shouldn't damage the device or anything, it will probably say it won't work if anything.
    Not true. ALL USB ports and chargers provide 5 volts nominal (actually 4.5 to 5.5). Wall chargers provide 1 amp; computers are only required to provide 0.5 amp, but most newer ones provide 1 amp. The only difference is that 0.5 amp will take twice as long to charge the phone.
    Firewire is different; there was a range of voltages that Firewire chargers would provide, so they were not interchangeable. But the iPhone doesn't work at all with Firewire so it's not an issue.

  • Applie iPod Classic Connection Problems

    Hi there, me and my dad just bought 2 new iPod classics... Mines is working without any problems so far (although trying to figure out how to convert videos is ******* me off) but anyway his was working this morning before I left for work and I left it to update and download the newest artwork... Upon arriving home however his is unable to open up in iTunes and Windows Vista simply keeps trying to install drivers for the iPod everytime I connect it and ultimately fails everytime... Anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated

    Hey there Joeyleo,
    It sounds like you are unable to use any USB accessories with your iPod Classic. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article:
    iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    Here is step one to get you started, but there is additional troubleshooting within if needed:
    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 10 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.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • 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

  • New Ipod Classic syncing problems, restoring problems

    Hello,
    Just got my 80gb Ipod Classic yesterday, and have had syncing problems, and now Itunes does not recognize it at all.
    I'm using the latest version of Itunes (7.6.2.9)
    Ipod Firmware 1.1.2 (or whatever the newest is)
    Windows XP Pro
    I'm a long-time user of a 5g 30gb Ipod and never have had issues like this. I am syncing to the same Itunes library as my old Ipod. Connecting my new Ipod Classic, I updated the firmware, and tried to sync. Halfway through the sync, I got an error. I disconnected the ipod and reset it. I tried syncing again, and again it would hang at some point, had to disconnect, and then it said my ipod had no music, but with 60gb free only. So obviously a database problem on the ipod and some mp3 files that my new ipod classic didn't like (though my old 5g ipod has no problem with this library).
    Next, I connected and did a Restore.
    I removed the culprit mp3 files from Itunes Library, attempted to sync again. Again, it would freeze at some point during sync. Had to disconnect Ipod while Itunes was frozen. Again, Ipod says has no music but with only about 60gb free.
    So Ipod is corrupted again. The problem is when I connect it to my PC, Itunes no longer recognizes it, so I can't do a Restore. What do I do?

    Just wanted to post my results, for future users benefit:
    Putting my Ipod into Disk Mode, connected to computer, Itunes recognized it, performed a Restore.
    Still had syncing/freezing issues.
    Decided that my Itunes library database was corrupted. Went into My Documents > My Music, and deleted the Itunes Folder, except for the containing Artwork Folder.
    Have been rebuilding my Library from scratch since, and have had no syncing problems yet again.
    Only problem is that in the outermost Podcast menu, it is always empty. The only conveninent way to access my Podcasts is to make a playlist and put them all in it.

  • ITunes Match and iPod Classic sync problems

    Hi all,
    I've recently signed up to iTunes Match and use iTunes on my Windows PC (at home) and MacBook Pro (at work). I also use an iPod Classic which I sync with the Windows PC.
    I've had an issue which has happened a few times when I sync. I think the problem occurs when iTunes is open on both the PC and the Mac, but I'm not sure.
    When I sync my iPod, it increments play count, and updates the recently played playlist as normal, but every now and then, I am asked to sign back into iTunes Match, and when I do that, all play counts from the ipod sync disappear. The Recently Played playlist also no longer has songs played on the iPod included. However, on the "last played" field, the correct date and time of when the song was played in populated.
    The iPod is where I listen to music most often, and I would really like to keep the play counts up to date, but I can't figure out what is happening.
    Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas if I can resolve this?
    Thanks.

    The same thing happened to my iPod. It shows that it has no songs, but when i checked the iPod's memory, it was using the same amount of space as before (i had 52 gb of music, now it's just 52 gb of... nothing).

  • IPod Classic sync problems

    I'm using an iPod Classic. It's 160GB and it's the newest (ish) generation of it. I haven't had any problems syncing it in the past until recently after the latest iTunes update.
    My computer recognises my iPod when it's connected and so does iTunes. I've run diagnostics on iPod connectivity, it passes iPod connectivity, but not the device sync test, even though iTunes clearly recognises the iPod is syncing. Beforehand, I had reset my iPod thinking the sync issue was something with my iPod'a hard drive but i had done a check using diagnostic mode and my retracts and reallocs were both at 0 which I assume is very good for an iPod I've had for 3 or 4 years.
    The battery is fine and the hard drive seems to be fine. I've even tried both USB ports on my laptop (Toshiba with Windows 7 Home Edition).
    I even went and uninstalled iTunes itself (but none of the add-ons) and I'm still having issues.
    At the moment it's showing I have 7GB of music when there's only 234 songs on it.
    I've also done a reset several times by holding down the menu and center button but it's still not syncing my music properly, still saying I've got 7GB of music when there clearly isn't
    if it helps my iPod Classic is using the latest version, 2.0.4  and my computer's software is up to date as well.
    I'm also going to try to format the hard drive on it to see if that does something but I doubt it'll help.
    if anyone has any advice on how to fix this that'd be great

    Hhhmmm!
    Not actually sure what your question is.
    That said, it appears to centre on the fact that you have 234 songs taking up 7GB of storage. Is that correct? If so, there are two possibilities.
    How do you arrive at the figure of 7GB? Is it only the music, or is it all of the storage being used on the iPod? With the iPod connected to your iTunes Library, check to see how much storage is being used by each type of media. In particular, how much "Other" is being used? Hold your mouse over each section so that the info balloon appears and read off how much storage is being used by each type. The crucial section is the Other (as indicated in the screenshot below).
    Perhaps most, if not all of your music is encoded at a very high Bit Rate. What format are you using to import from your CDs? Check several songs and make a note of the Kind, Size and Bit Rate. Then post back with that information.

  • TS1369 iPod Classic Connection Problem

    My iPod Classic is not being recognized by Windows or iTunes. I spent hours going through all the troubleshooting scenarios today, swapping cables, iPod's, etc. I can't seem to locate an iPod USB driver in Device Manager, and there doesn't seem to be any troubleshooting steps to deal with this situation. Any suggestions?

  • ITunes 11 and iPod Classic Playlists - Problem?

    I have an iPod Classic dedicated to use in my car [lives in the glove compartment]. A couple of days ago I decided to completely refresh the content, so plugged it in to my Mac Mini and set to work. First step was a factory reset, then a check for updates [none - it was running the latest OS] and then I loaded up about 156Gb of music data [all Apple Lossless].
    Returning this to my car, I have discovered that it now plays music as before, but that it no longer recognises playlists. So for example, in my iTunes client, I have a PlayList folder called "_Compilations" [the underscore, _, brings it to the top of the list], in which I store about 8 or 9 playlists I have dedicated for use in my car. I can no longer access any of those playlists from my in-car stereo.
    ***Nothing*** has changed in this configuration, except the fact that I have upgraded to iTunes 11. There have been no changes to the configuration or firmware of the Pioneer in-car system, which is an AVIC-920BT
    http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/GPS-Navigation/AVIC-X920BT
    and the factory reset of the iPod did not result in any firmware or other updates. I have re-loaded the iPod with the exact same load-out as I had before, but this makes no difference. I have tried a variety of different things, but for some reason, within the "_Compilations" folder [which the Pioneer can see and let me navigate to] the Pioneer can only see a huge collection of individual songs.
    I bought the Pioneer new with the car in May 2011 and it has given me no trouble since then.
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest if anything has changed, in iTunes 11, with respect to playlist management, or if they can think of any other reason why I would suddenly see this unusual [and wrong] behavior. Oh, for what it's worth, if I remove the iPod from the car and use it with earbuds, all my playlists are present and correct and work perfectly via the wheel controller. This looks very much like some form of config change...
    Any feedback or suggestion would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks!
