Ipod displaying Very low Battery. But no charge

well my ipod today died on me, due to running out of battery. I went home and tried to charge it, however the ipod would only display the apple logo, and would not charge. When i tried to restart it it would just say
"Please Wait. Very Low Battery"

Hi there I have an ipod classic which will not charge and keeps saying "Please Wait Very Low Battery" can anbody help me its just sad to see it go.

Normally it takes 2 to 4 hours to fully charge an iPod Battery, using a USB2.0 port or wall charger.
Even if the battery is dead, you can have it replaced at Apple Store for about US$60 or at any 3rd Party Ipod Service Center for less.

My ipod got very low battery and now won't connect with itunes?

My ipod got an extremely low battery and now it won't connect to itunes or charge when connected with the usb. I had not trouble connecting before this

Let it charge for awhile.
Does the iPod show that it is charging?
After charging for at least an hour try resetting the iPod. Also see:

Displays Sad Ipod face, but then goes away and displays very low battery.

It keeps switching between these 2, does it need repair or what?

Here is a pretty comprehensive post about the sad iPod icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

Please wait. Very Low battery warning but wont charge

I have a message with a greyed out screen saying "Please Wait. Very Low Battery" but the ipod will not charge.
Any suggestions?

You're sure the cable is working as well, are you? (I have a cable that has a torn plastic sleeve and now the inner wires are showing. It won't be long before it fails to work.)
Have you tried another cable, perhaps try someone else's cable and they try yours? Also, have you tried the reset procedure? Hold the Menu and Select (centre) buttons down for at least ten seconds to see if the iPod re-starts.

My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
Thanks

Can anyone help ?
please?

WHow long have you left it to charge? Have you tried resetting it after a short period of time to see if that can help jumpstart the charging process? To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

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.
Have a nice day!

HT1339 ipod display says please wait very low battery

what can i do to restore my ipod classic?

Really
Which model of iPod do you actually have?
An iPod Classic does not use iOS 3.1.3 (as noted in your tags) or any other iOS.
If the display says "please wait, low battery" - have you charged it up?
Why do you want to Restore your iPod, whichever model it actually is?
To Restore and iPod, connect it to iTunes, look on the iPod's Summary pane and select Restore. Note that Restore will delete everything from your iPod.
iPods can be Reset, which often sorts out minor problems. How to Reset depends which iPod you have.

Trouble starting ipod (very low battery message) and loop

Hello. I am having troble to start my ipod classic 5 generation. The message "please wait very low battery" (with an ipod with sad face) appears but the weird thing is that i just used it yesterday and i left it fully charged...but well. Then i try to charge the battery with a wall charger but it starts on a loop passing from the black screen with the apple logo, then it goes to the message "go to itunes/ipod/support" web site. and then it says again "please wait very low battery" just for a second and then it goes back to the black screen with apple logo and does this again and again. Then i tried to connect my ipod to the computer, after i do this it shows the message "please wait very low battery" and stays like this forever. I have tried ALL the suggestions, from trying to restart the ipod by clicking the middle button and the menu button at the same time (several times) and then clicking the middle button and the play button so it gows to the disk ode and nothing. I tryed witting it on the right corner and nothing. I already tested 3 usb different cables and nothing. It is not my usb port (i made tests with an ipod touch i have and works fine). Daaaaaaaaaarn!!! I really dont know waht to do now.
Any advises please!!!!?
Thanks a lot!
Rick

I have an IPOD Classic 30GB. I thought the battery was not recharging so I bought a new battery and had it installed. The device will come on and has a message on the screen "Please wait. Very low battery."

I have an IPOD Classic 30GB. It would not stay on but a few seconds so I thought the battery was not recharging and bought a new battery. I charged the new battery overnight and when I turned it on I could see the apple for only a few seconds and it would go off. I tried the trouble shooting suggestions and reset the device. The screen is frozen with the message "Please Wait. Very low battery." I also thought it might be a problem with the display but since it is on now, I'm not sure what is going on with it.

There are several types of iPods that are "30GB," 3rd gen ("dock connector"), 4th gen ("click wheel" or "photo"), and 5th gen ("video"). This documents shows the iPod models

Which one is your iPod? Do you use a Mac or Windows PC? Do you have a power adapter?

"Please wait, very low battery" display

Hi,
My iPod is displaying the message "please wait, very low battery" on the dark screen with a picture of a battery. I have tried to reset it (holding down menu and select button) but the apple logo comes up (on a very dark screen as well) and then it goes back to the low battery message. I have had it plugged into a USB for 2 hours so I don't see how it could still be very low battery to the point where the screen does not even light up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

It's likely that the battery is shot and in need of replacement. You can choose to have Apple replace it or a third party repair company at a lower cost.

Always connect the iPod to a USB2.0 port at the back of your PC.
Dont connect to low power USB ports, on the fron of the PC, dont use USB Hubs, (may cause Sync problems and coruupt filesytem)
if you are using a Mac, dont connect to the USB port on the keyboard.
