Ipod classic won't hold charge

My apple ipod classic which is just a yr or two old won't hold a charge.  The battery icon has a lightning bolt in it so it says its charging but it won't hold a charge.  Any ideas?

It sounds your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.  You can have Apple service it at a flat rate or you can find a third party repair site who can do it for much less.

  • My iPod classic won't hold charge and has a lot of static when i play music

    My iPod classic 80GB won't hold a charge and has a lot of static when i try to play music...fixable problem or do i need to invest in a new one?

    Hi Candyfornia,
    I think you must restore your iPod (with iTunes) to solve your problem...

  • IPod Nano won't hold charge, play or sync

    Hi all,
    been having issues with my 6th gen iPod Nano recently.
    When charging, it will hold charge for a small amount of time but no more than an hour even after being left overnight.
    When clicking on the radio app it doesn't recognise headphones are plugged in.
    When trying to play a song, it says it is playing but there is no sound and the scrubbing bar remains at 0 seconds. If you scrub to later in the track it says it is playing but does not advance.
    When connecting to a computer it freezes and rarely pops up in iTunes.
    I have tried restoring it, charging from full and accessing the menu by pressing the volume + & - buttons, but now all this does is bring up a white screen which says 'ok to disconnect'.
    I'm out of ideas, but would love to hear anyone elses suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    It depends on how you are using the Nano.  Otherwise, no.  If you feel as though this is an issue, schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and explain the situation to them.

  • HT1384 iPod touch won't hold charge

    iPod touch, 1yr old, doesn't hold charge when not in use for couple days.  Is it possible that something is running in the background and
    If so how would I check?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order
    To extend battery life see:
    Apple - Batteries - iPod
    It is not unusual for the an iPod left in sleep mode with wifi on to discharge fully in a day or so.

  • IPod classic 30gb not holding charge

    As stated above I have an iPod classic 30gb. After a few mins of removing from charger the iPod dies. Is there any way the battery can be replaced.?

    You can hope that when it dries out that it will work. You shouldn't have turned it on yet....so let it sit for a few days and then see if it works. Other than that there isn't much you can do.

  • My ipod mini won't hold charge

    I've had my pod mini for only two months. I charged the battery overnight but after just 10 minutes of use the battery was empty. Why is it not holding charge? What should I do? I am disappointed that this is happening because I really love my it.

    I would not send it back. I would do what this guy says. Mine is finally working right after numerous resets with it plugged into charger and by doing many of the things this says:

    iPod touch 2nd G won't hold charge. Restore does not help. Removed all apps and it still discharges even if not turned on and used for anythig. What gives?

    If it is warranty, bring it back to the Genius bar and insist on a replacement.  If out of warranty, you can get a replacement iPod with a new battery for $79 at the genius bar.

  • My ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

    my ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

    Likely that the battery is dead.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for this price:

    There are third-party places which may be less expensive.  Here is one. Google for more.

  • IPod Classic won't charge with iPad charger

    I have a 120GB iPod Classic and tried to charge it using the charger from my iPad 2. No luck - the indicator doesn't show that it's charging. The iPad 2 charger works fine on my iPhone 4 and I read that it should work with the iPod as well. Shouldn't it? Any thoughts? My goal is to be able to travel with just one charger. Thanks

    It should work.  See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3044169?start=0&tstart=0

  • IPod Classic won't charge with iPad AC charger

    I want to charge my iPod classic with my iPad's AC USB charger (model number A1357) but it doesn't seem to work.  With the AC charger is plugged into a wall outlet and the iPod classic connected to the charger with a USB sync cable, the iPod doesn't charge.  The same charger and sync cable charge my iPad without any problem.  Also, using the same cable, I am able to charge the iPod Classic through the USB port on my wired Apple keyboard.
    Any ideas what is wrong here?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

  • Ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2

    ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2.
    I updated to itunes 11.0.2 today, after delaying it for a looong time (I have it @ work and don't like the new layout).
    Since then, none of my ipods will mount/show up/update. I've tried all USB ports, 3 ipods, 3 cords. Wondering if you know of any issues. I've restarted the mac about 15-20 times today since as soon as I hook up an ipod, itunes immediately spins the beach ball and won't let me click out of it.
    I've restarted the ipods 10+ times each.
    All of the ipods DO show up on my desktop though. Just not in itunes anywhere with 11.0.2.
    One more thing: It's not the cables or the ipods: they both mount fine when connected to my laptop (running old *** 10.4.11 and itunes 9.)
    Machine is a Mac Pro running 10.6.8.

    Finding this Post took some time but I thought it was me talking when I read it. I was having the exact same issue. I have a G3 I've been upgrading like mad, including a Sonnet G4-500 CPU a Maxtor 60gb & 80gb HDs 1gb of RAM a new LaCie Firewire800 PCI card Graphics card etc. the latest was installing Panther 10.3.9 on the new 80gb HD and also swapping out the old CD-ROM and replacing with the (Apple standard) Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D combo drive in it's place. got everything up and booted and poof! no burning. Toast worked read/write no problem. iTunes could read and import no problem, but wouldn't burn a CD.
    Downloaded "PatchBurn 3.1.3" installed, re-booted and all is OK in burner land again :>)
    I wanted to just post my additional thanks to the lead to Patchburner, and I'm going to donate to the cause. It's worth a $20 donation just for my joy of not throwing this computer out the window!!

  • IPod Classic won't connect - need to restore. What do I do?

    I installed the latest iTunes onto my laptop (Windows 8), and now my iPod Classic won't connect to my laptop or iTunes. It's also telling me I need to connect to iTunes to restore it. I can't connect it to iTunes.
    When I plug in the USB cord, It starts the iPod in Disk Mode -  still no connection. What do I do?!

    Hi DanielleGuise!
    It sounds like your iTunes installation is not recognizing that your iPod is plugged in, so you will need to address that issue before you can restore the iPod. Here is an article that will help you do this:

  • Ipod classic won't update

    the past few times I've connected my ipod to to itunes, it doesn't update. there's also no "update ipod" option under any menus. ***? anyone know why?

    I have a different issue but my ipod classic won't update either, figure I'd post in the same topic.
    I can download the software but once it extracts, an error message pops up saying my ipod can't be updated and a code (1462) is at the end of the message.
    I have 1.1 and no previous issues with updating or with the ipod. I've tried rebooting it and no difference.
    Any ideas why or what to do?
    Thanks in advance.
