IPOD Hot to touch, no battery, no connection, any insight?

Hello
I got a new IPod 5th Gen 30 GB Black for Christmas, shortly thereafter(within a week) I used it until the battery went dead, i tried charging it by plugging it in to my USB port i left it there for the reccomended half hour and then some with no luck, no lights, no bells, no whistles nothing... but it did get warm.
So i figured hey, I'm using a labtop, maybe its not working right, so I went out and bought a brand new AC adaptor not only that but I got a new USB connector too just in case I messed up the wire, plugged it in and for a few seconds got charging screen, I left it plugged in for awhile but the screen again went dead and the Ipod became HOT to the touch, hot to the point in which one should not touch it.
Now I called into Apple and they are sending me a repair box...
Did anyone have this problem, and am I going to get charged, if so I don't know what I'm going to do, it would really be terrible customer service if they somehow blame it on me, I mean there are a few scratches on the outer case because of the shiny material but nothing that could internally damage the Ipod...
Can anyone help?

Sounds like you received an iPod with a defective battery or something else is defective but Apple will make that determination with tests they perform.
If the tests confirm there is a manufacturing defect, the iPod will be repaired or you will be sent a replacement under warranty.
If the tests conclude the damage was caused by something else that is not covered under warranty, you shouldn't be charged anything and the iPod will be returned to you as it was received.

The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on... What is wrong? Can photos and data be retrieved?

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

IPod Touch still stuck on connect to iTunes screen after the restore. iTunes went blank.

Hi, I'm having problems with my iPod Touch. My iPod went off because the battery was empty. And when I tried connecting it to my laptop to recharge, the "connect to iTunes" screen suddenly appeared. According to iTunes I need to RESTORE it for it to work. And that's exactly what I did. However, after the restore and all, the screen is still stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen.
By the way, it's a 2nd generation iPod Touch. And it's an MC model.
And to make things worse, my iTunes screen is totally empty. The RESTORE option is gone and I really don't know what to do anymore.
Hope you guys can help me out! I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

I really don't know what happened but my iPod Touch is working now!!! Thank you so much! I'm not really sure if it went to DFU mode or not but all of a sudden I can access iTunes App Store already!!! WOOOOAAAAHHHH! And it asked me to type in a new name for my iPod! So everything's good! Thank you so much! Thank you! You have no idea how happy I am right now!
For my iTunes:
Thank you!
P.S: Grrrrrrrr! My bad! I'm new here and I kind of messed up the Correct Answer and Helpful Answer buttons. Sorry. Dunno how to change them.

Lost iPod Touch: Will it auto-connect to open wifi?

My daughter received a brand new iPod Touch for Christmas. Not a week later and she lost it at a friend's house.
Fortunately, I had set it up to work with my iCloud subscription and enabled the "Track My iPhone" feature. But of course it is not connected to my daughter's friend's WiFi.
So I was thinking that I could ask that they temporarily open up their wifi network (i.e., not require a password) in hopes that the iPod Touch will automatically scan and connect to the open access point. If it does, then I should be able to both locate it on a map and also trigger it to play a high-volume sound, all through iCloud.
Question is:
Assuming the iPod Touch's battery is not already drained....does the iPod Touch automatically/consistently scan for open wifi networks and, if it senses one, does it automatically connect? Or is it like a laptop, where you have to manually connect?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

It depends upon what setting you have on the iPod. The following os from the User Guide (sorry about the formatting):
Set iPod touch to ask if you want
to join a new network
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn “Ask to Join Networks” on or off.
If “Ask to Join Networks” is turned off, you must manually join a network to
connect to the Internet when a previously used network isn’t available.

My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Its not even in the device manager

My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Not to charge or connect to itunes. My usb ports work fine with everything else. I went and bought a new wall charger that came with a synce cord and it works fine, as a wall charger with wont work with my computer. Ive done the whole rebooting, re downloading itunes, redownloading apple software, the whole 9 yards.
What exactly happens when I plug my ipod touch 4g up if it turns on like it suppose to but instead of going to the home screeen with the little lighting bult in the battery is just acts like its not even plugged in. It just goes to connect to itunes screen.
I sent it to apple and they told me that whatever was wrong with it wasnt under warrenty but didnt tell me what it was. Ugh! It doesnt have water damage, I checked the indicators. So what do I do now? I would rather not go and get it fixed and spend 100 dollars. I would rather try and figure it out myself. Help please!

From what Apple said it appears you have a hardware problem. I would either pay to get it fixed or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and discus it with them.

''Well When i plug in my ipod touch the battery life is low..i let it sit a wyhle.And it starts up to the apple logo and it stay there some time then it restartsback over to the very low battery and repeat(Over&Over)

Can you reset the device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iOS: Unable to restore

My iPod Touch 5g Battery would drop while charging

My iPod Touch 5g 32GB's Battery (which I got last year, March 2014) would drop lately whenever I attempt to charge. I have been observing it closely for two days: It would be charging, it would be connected - but the battery percentage would be dropping (i.e. at one point it will be 95% in a few more minutes it would drop to 93%)
These are the things to take in consideration:
I use the Battery Doctor app
The battery drop would often occur when the cable somewhat disconnects and reconnects
iTunes would reveal a message that the "iPhone couldn't be recognized"
I would "soft-reset" the device (pressing down the power and home button till it shuts down and powers up again with the Apple logo) and I would notice that the Battery Doctor app's charging indicator would have a significant change: Let's say, when I shut the device down it was at 90%, when I open it up again it would be at 95%, In two cases (yesterday and today), the charging would go smoothly till it hits 100% after the "soft-reset".
I couldn't tell if the iPod Touch's battery has the problem or its just the cable.
Hoping anyone could give me suggestions.
Thanks!

As your device is about to leave the one year warranty period, get your device checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store.
You can also contact Appel Support, they can check the battery life online.

And you really don't need 3rd party apps to keep your battery in good shape. Just follow the advice from Apple:

TS4062 my ipod touch shows it is connected to internet, but says it can't connect to the server. Help!

My ipod touch shows it's connected to the internet, but says it can't connect to the server. How can I fix?

The machine is booting up so I wouldn't worry about the PRAM battery. I set my time off of the internet, since my pram battery is dead & I do not feel like changing it. click on time to get this panel.
The imac I have has 1.25GHz and I am assuming has an airport card because the Internet worked on it when I tested it out before I bought it.
To sort things out, I'd connect the machine via an ethernet cable to you router. Thus, if it works well via a cable you will have narrowed the problem down to the wifi card.
My wireless is on WPA/WPA2. How do I get the Internet to start working?
You sure the machine is connecting to your router not a neighbors? Set router to now encryption & see how things work. Just for testing.

Battery Life is short and when i do charge the power supply gets to hot to touch?

Hi! I'm not sure whats Wrong with my MacBook Pro 15" - Mid 2010, i7, 4gb RAM, 512mb Graphics.
When i charge my MB it has a really short life (50 - 60 min) without using high demanding programs. I've had a look in system information and i found this; Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4858
im not sure what it should be but does it sound like a healthy battery?
My second question, the power supply is hot to touch is this a contributing factor? I took it in to apple and they suggested to buy a new charger, so £65 later and i still have the overheating of the power supply and the short battery life problems, HELP!

That is not a good sign. Check the connection on the MBP to see if there is any foreign matter or discoloration evident.
Open System Information>Power and post this from your MBP:
(make certain that the charger is attached)
Also run an Apple Hardware Test. You may use the appropriate original install disk for this which has the AHT instructions printed on it.
Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.
Ciao.
