IPod has a problem charging.

OK so I found my iPod last month after having been m.i.a. for 7 months. So I plugged it into my computer and let it charge. It's been charging for over a month now and when I unplugged it and tried to listen to some music it said that the battery was completely drained. It played about 17 seconds of one song and then died and it keeps doing that every time I try to use it. The warranty is up so exchanging it is out of the question.
Can anyone help??

iPod battery should run around 18 months before it needs to replacement. However, I discover that once the iPod carrying very low battery level, if may failed to get charged by connecting with a PC via USB. Therefore, using an ac charger could be one of the solution

My iPod has a problem. I cannot fit the charger into the bottom of the device, nor can I fit it on to the docking station. It is as if the bottom mechanism has been bent out of shape. Where would I get it repaired? Would it be expensive?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. The price depends upon model and capacity

Ipod screen is blank and ipod has been fully charged??

My sons iPod has been fully charged but will not turn on and/or screen is blank like it is off.

Have you tried a hard reset to see if that can help your iPod boot up? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may take a couple of tries.

5G iPod has pixel problem

My 5G iPod has pixels that are malfunctioning. I'm not sure if they are "out" or not but, they seem to be the reverse of the color they are supposed to be. These pixels are not in a row but, in a small random pattern. Does anyone have any information on what sort of problem this could be and if it can be fixed?

Hmm... sounds like your model is technically considered a 5th generation iPod, or iPod with video, rather than an iPod classic. Since the iPod is out of warranty, take a look at this page to determine the cost of replacement, based on the capacity of your model:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/#warranty6
Bear in mind that the cost of repair listed gets you a replacement iPod (albeit refurbished, but I've had excellent luck with Apple refurbished products) that comes with 90 days of hardware coverage.
There are some third party service options if those prices seem a bit steep to you:

What do you do when you iPod has a problem backIng up while updating

Well I was trying to update to iOS 6 but my iPod (4th gen)said it had problems backing up, I have the latest iTunes and it's fine with normal syncing. Please help me I don't want to lose all my data

You pray at least something will be backed up, and hope you have a previous backup on iTunes (as you should have regularly taken anyway.)
You might also try recovering data through syncing with iTunes afterwards, but that's not quite the same...

My ipod has a problem =(

ok i have an iPod mini, and its worked perfectly for like a year, but ever since I updated windows, it hasnt been able to pic up the iPod. it charges and everything but the songs dont go into the iPod and its not recognized on my computer(the drive doesnt appear after its connected) i would appreciate it if someone could help.

OK if its charging, but not showing the "Do Not DIsconnect" then the PC is not connecting to it. It may be the USB ports/card does not have its drivers or its disabled.
Is this a laptop or Desktop? I take for granted its a HP?
Goto control panel>system>hardware tab and hit "Device Manager" double click "Universal Serial Bus" and make sure all listings do not have weird icons or a red X on them.
If they don't, disconnect the ipod from the PC, put it in "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651 then connect it to the PC and see if its then seen by iTUnes or windows

My video Ipod has stopped song playback

My four month old video ipod (60G) has stopped playing songs. It allows me to select songs and brings up the artwork as if about to start the time counter goes to 0.00 but never starts even though there is an arrow in the top of the screen indicating that it is playing.
I reset the ipod several times to no avail then reset to factory settings today loaded my full library and this hadn't worked either.
I have installed the recent software patch too.
please help me

Im not sure if the warrenty is still in effect. It is 2 Years old and the problem is that it will not update. No dont tell me about restoring my ipod, restarting computer, reinstalling itunes, and etc. I have done that plenty of times. The first 2 time my ipod has this problem those worked. But it randomly stopped working. So I restarted computer, didnt work, reinstalled itunes, didnt work, restarted ipod, didnt work, charged ipod fully, didnt work. So I decided to restore my whole ipod and now it wont even update the songs anymore. Could I take this to a apple store and see if they can fix it. Ill be going by one today.

Brand new iPod Touch, won't charge!

Hi there,
Have posted this under another topic but hope to get some more exposure here.
Just as a disclaimer, I work for a retail store in New Zealand. Have taken a returned iPod touch home to try and fix, but am stuck! This iPod still belongs to my employer however, needs to be restored to a re-sellable condition.
Basically, the iPod touch will not charge. It is forever stuck on the 'no charge' screen with the red battery symbol and the lightning bolt at the bottom. This is when it is plugged in (have plugged it in to a PC, my Mac and wall charger). When not plugged in, same symbols appear except with a plug symbol, pointing to the lightning bolt.
When plugged in, the iPod doesn't show up in iTunes or Disk Utility, same on the HP PC laptop I also tried it on.
I put the iPod into DFU mode and restored it to the latest firmware with iTunes on my Mac. However, once the iPod has finished restoring, iTunes tells me it will show up after rebooting but once the countdown has finished, the same stupid 'no charge' symbols appear.
By the way, this iPod has been left charging on two different wall chargers overnight, I have tried restoring it several times and still to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I am totally stumped.
Cheers!

Well since it has not been charging on multiple computers i would take a look at replacing the usb cable. Something could not be connecting right or just needs to be replaced. If this has already been done it is starting to sound like a battery issue with the ipod.
Hope this helps!!

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.

I have an ipod touch 4th gen, 32gb, brought around july-august 2011. recently i have found if i leave my ipod sitting some where, i come back and the home button doesn't turn the screen on. firstly i plugged it into the computer and fully restored it as iTunes said it went into 'recovery mode', recently i have just used the sleep button to turn it back on. I have noticed that the ipod seems to turn it self off, as in it acts like i have held down the sleep button and turned the ipod fully off, but i haven't so i don't know what is going on. my ipod has been fully charged every time this has occured. so firstly i would like to know what is going on and why it keeps happening, and then a permanent solution, help please? this is really stressing me out.

Can I use my travel charger from older iPod on my new iPod touch? 110 charger it fits okay.

Can I safety use a travel charger (110) from an older iPod, for my new iPod touch?

Older iPods, i think up to the 4G iPods and iPod Mini allow Firewire & USB syncing and charging. (Except probably for the first generation iPod Classic"
The iPhone 2G (and probably iPod Touch 1G and iPod Classic 5G) will allow Firewire charging (Not Syncing).
Any iPhone from the iPhone 3G and newer (and also i guess iPod touch) will not charge from Firewire as far as i know.
So if your older iPod has a USB charger (Nearly all iPods have USB to Dock port chargers/cables) then yes you can use it to charge any iPod touch or iPhone.

My ipod has a music symbol with itunes written under it with the charger cord in it and i have tried charging it and restore it again but it still wont change from that. So, does anyone know whats going on with it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
