IPod dead? Battery dead, will not charge...

Hi,
I've got a video iPod here, a black one, 30 GB. It's my dad's iPod and he was using it a few days ago but the battery is dead. I'm trying to charge it for him by plugging it into my Mac with his USB cable, and it doesn't power up, doesn't charge, doesn't sync... nothing! He usually charges and syncs it with USB and I've tried several cables (my iPhone cable plus another cable). Nothing seems to work.
Any idea what to try next... or is it just dead!?

Oh, I figured it out. I had to plug it in and THEN press the reset key combo. It's charging now...

  • My ipod nano (5 generation) will not charge.

    My ipod nano (5 generation) will not charge. Sometimes, if I connect it to the computer, turns on and appears on the screen a battery. Other times I connect it, and will not turn on anything. If you load it, I can use it, but if I turn off the ipod, after does not turn on. I tried to reload it with an outlet to the current, but does not turn on. Can I fix it? How much does it cost?

    You need a new battery.

  • IPod touch recognizes it is plugged in and has low battery but will not charge no matter what it is connected to! Suggestions????

    After a year of owning my iPod touch 4g it suddenly stopped charging on my computer and outlet addapter.  It still shows the two pronged plug icon that recognizes the iPod is connected to something but even as the battery level goes below twenty percent it will not charge. Still functions well and even connects to iTunes.

    If it is still under warrenty which you can find out from here or if you know it's under one year old bring it to the Apple Store.

  • Ipod, nano 4th generation, will not charge using my PC or my dock.  It's 5 years old and has charged using both methods since I got it.

    My ipod will not charge when connected to my dock or my computer.  I will play when connected to both.  I have tried both USB ports, checked the connections on my dock (power light is on) and it will just not charge. 

    Howdy Crickety22,
    Using the USB cord in different locations is a great way to help isolate this kind of issue. Since you have done that, the next step I would recommend is testing a different USB cable with the device.
    Check out this info from the article named Archived - iPod's battery doesn't charge found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ta44551
    Faulty cable
    If something is wrong with the FireWire or USB cable that came with iPod, it may not supply any power to charge the battery. Note: Only iPod models with a Click Wheel can get power from a high-powered USB port using the supplied cable (includes iPod mini, iPod (Click Wheel), iPod photo, iPod with color display, iPod nano, and Fifth Generation iPod).
    Make sure you are using the cable that came with iPod. Some third-party cables may not work properly with iPod.
    Make sure nothing is in or blocking your computer's FireWire or USB ports.
    Check the connections to make sure the cable is completely plugged in.
    Try another known-good FireWire or USB cable if available.
    If this resolves the issue your FireWire or USB cable needs to be replaced. You can arrange for replacement at theiPod Service Website.
    And this part as well:
    Faulty dock connector or FireWire port on iPod
    If something is wrong with iPod's FireWire or Dock Connector port, it may not supply power to iPod.
    Make sure nothing is in or blocking iPod's FireWire or Dock Connector port.
    Check the connection to make sure the FireWire or Dock Connector cable is completely plugged in.
    If this did not resolve the issue iPod needs to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.

  • HT1719 my ipod shuffle 4th generation will not charge or connect to the computer, I updated iTunes and I got a new charger.

    My iPod Shuffle will not charge or connect to the computer. I updated iTunes and bought a new charger. Any ideas? Thanks

    My question was, when you connect the shuffle to USB, does the light come ON?  From the way you answered, I'm not sure if you are answering that question, or saying that the light does not come ON when you move the power switch on the shuffle to the ON position.
    Also, what happens when you connect the shuffle to your computer by itself, with nothing else connected to USB?
    If you get no response (no light) from the shuffle when you connect it to USB by itself, trying both the original USB cable and a new one that is compatible with the 4th gen shuffle, try connecting something else to the USB port to confirm it is working properly.  It would be best to test the USB port with something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.  If you can confirm the USB port works properly, it is likely that the cause for this problem is on the shuffle, such as a faulty headphones jack or bad logic board.
    If the shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen will not Charge or Power On.

    I got my iPod at Christmas and it's worked fine ever since. I don't much use it, but recently I let the battery die. When I go to charge my iPod, the Low Battery Symbol will show up, then vanish. If I hit the "Sleep" button, it will pop up again. My ipod does not indicate that it's charging, nor does my computer recognize the device. I assumed it was just a bad cable, but since then I've tried 2 other lightning Cables and neither has worked.
    I use my iPod mostly to capture video, and I would like to keep my videos, but without a charge, I can't even transfer my files to my computer.

  • IPod Touch 4th gen will not charge, or sync to iTunes

    Hello, I have a 2 year old iPod 4th gen 32 gb.  About a week ago a realized that when a charged it the charging screen did not appear.  I made no big deal about it since it still charged, but then I tried to connect it to my cpu to see if anything changed, nothing did (it also cannot connect to iTunes to my cpu but can connect to the app just fine).  So I went on with it but recently it stopped charging all together.  I'd power it down at night and turn it on in the morning and didn't charge at all past 20% So I powered it down and this image came up.Yes, I have seen this image before but when I plugged it in and got the  charging screen after it died.  But now it cannot get past this screen I left it plugged in all day and it doesn't do anything else.  I can reset it after 10 minutes to wake it up but it dies again almost right away now normally i would just toss this away, since how old it is but I'm getting an iPhone soon and I want to be able to transfer everything over, to the iPhone but it keeps dying before i can do anything.  And I would like to fix it so I could sell it for some cash.

  • My ipod touch 5th gen will not charge when connected to pc. works when plugged into wall

    I just got my 5th gen ipod today, and when i plug it into my pc (and my roommate's) they make the sound as if something is connected, but my ipod does not charge. When I plug it into my wall charger, it works fine. I've tried multiple cables, and multiple PCs, but it makes no difference. The weirdest thing though, is when I restart my computer, when it is about to close windows, it starts charging for a few seconds, then turns back off. This is so confusing. Any ideas?

    Sounds like the computer's USB ports do not provide enough current to charge the iPod when the screen is on. I would connect a partially discharged iPod to the computer for a couple of hours and see it it is charged.

  • My iPod is dead, and it will not charge. Also, my lock button is stuck. What should I do to fix it?

    Earlier today, my iPod touch lock button got stuck. That wasn't a problem. Now, it wont charge. I just tired to reset it, and it went off. But now, I can't even turn it back on. What should I do??!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these:

    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    For MAC or PC

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
