Ipod is stuck on "please wait, low battery" screen

My iPod is low battery, and when I try to charge it it says "please wait, low battery" and has a spinning wheel, but after a few minutes that sign fades away and the screen is blank. I have tried using different USB cords, different chargers/computers and I don't know what the problem is. Is my iPod dead?

Hey there,
If your iPod is no longer charging or maybe even barely hold a charge, it may be a good sign that the battery is reaching the end of its life. They are designed with only a limited number of charges. How long they last depends on how much you use your iPod and what you mainly use it for.
However, many places sell replacement batteries anywhere from $15 - 30 depending on where you purchase it from and if you want them to do the repairs for you. You may also do the repair yourself, if you feel confident enough. Websites like www.ifixit.com provides step-by-step instructions and pictures to replace the battery yourself. Best of luck.

IPhone 3G will not charge, stuck on "lightning bolt" low battery screen

Hello,
Yesterday I used my iPhone all day, like normal, until the battery got so low that it died at maybe 10pm. I plugged it into the charger that night, but this morning, all that's on the screen is a big empty battery with a sliver of red and a lightning bolt. If I unplug the charger, it shows an electrical cord + a lightning bolt for about 5 seconds, then it turns off. I've tried multiple cables and multiple power sources (charger, pc), but it will not change.
I was able to get the phone into DFU mode, and I restored it via iTunes normally, but when it rebooted and said "wait for the iphone to show up in itunes to set it up", it just went back to the battery screen and never showed up in iTunes.
Any ideas?

Tyler,
I ended up buying and installing a new battery from Amazon, and I never had the problem again. The new one charges fine.

Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on, Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on

My ipod touch was working fine until yesterday it just shut off with about half of charge left. I tried holding the power and home button but nothing. When I plug it into the charging wall outlet the low battery screen pops up and same goes for when I plug it into iTunes on my computer. I let it alone overnight to see if the battery would drain but same thing happened today. What should I do?

I have never seen this answer before but here's what worked for me and I found it accidentally.
I have an iPhone and an iPad and I only had 1 charger (my only Apple cord didn't work anymore so I had thrown it out and I thought maybe that was the problem, except my iphone charged fine with my pink cord) by my bedside, so I would just hook up the one that needed it the most before I went to bed. Well one day I woke up to find that my iPad had a low battery, with the red battery picture. When I plugged it into the charger, it just kept recycling to the Apple logo and then the spinning wheel of death, and back again.
I did some research and couldn't figure it out. People who thought it was a dead battery still had the same problem after they sent it in and got a new battery My iPad is not jail broken and half the "solutions" were over my head. I have over 1300 apps on my iPad, not to mention thousands of pictures, that I was just feeling so bereft and sad that I might have lost everything. So I just let my iPad sit, and drained the whole battery down to the nubbin. It was 2-3 days without a charger that I just let it sit.
Then I put it on the charger again and I noticed I still got the red battery symbol, but the red was a thinner slice. I went to work and left it on the charger all day. When I returned, one of my FB notifications came on and bam, there it was, my sign on screen or whatever it's called, where you slide the thingy across. And it was back!!!!!!
So I was overjoyed. I'd also had a problem syncing with a warning that it overloaded my USB port. It was a separate problem, but I was able to sync it after that, and my iPhone too, so I was ecstatic.
Then the battery thing happened again about a week later. I thought I had been diligent about keeping it charged but it went down after only a day off the charger. Realized that I had FB and mail notifications notifying me in the startup screen, so that it was constantly turning itself on and off. I have almost 5000 FB friends and 10 email accounts, so that was a lot of steady activity that I wasn't really aware of. I have now turned off all notifications to every app, since they also come on my phone AND I bought a 2nd cord, a purple one, so now I'm set and don't expect to ever have that problem again.
Hope this helps everyone who thought they had a brick.

My 4th Generation 80GB iPod is alternating between the Apple logo & the low battery screen

My 4th Generation 80GB iPod isn't opening iTunes or otherwise being recognized when I connect it to my computer. Instead, it keeps alternating between the Apple logo & the "Please wait, very low battery" screen, even though I just charged it yesterday.
Any advice would be deeply appreciated, thanks!

Shortly after this message was posted, this mysterious, annoying and quite upsetting issue occurred yet again. (The issue originally happened when I tried to plug my iPod into my Windows 7 notebook via the USB cord that came with the device.)
So I tried plugging it into the gadget for my car's cigarette lighter, therefore using a different cord. Sadly, the Apple logo and "very low battery" message reappeared and kept alternating. Same thing when I plugged in my headphones.
But I wasn't going to let that deter me from trying again. The next stop consisted of plugging it into someone else's MacBook Pro. Wouldn't you know, suddenly my iPod was functioning again! The screen lit up with that lovely "Do not disconnect" message and iTunes launched. (Maybe it needed some Apple-on-Apple love?) Furthermore, my iPod now works with my Windows notebook again — along with all the other methods mentioned in this post.
In conclusion, should you find yourself in the same predicament, try hooking it up to a Mac. I don't know how or why, but that's what worked for me.
Cheers,
echo

Help!

Are you sure the device is charging?
Try resetting the device. Hold the sleep wake button and the home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds (until you see the Apple Logo, then release).

Stuck in 'Please Wait' after few automatic Updates

As usual there were some pending updates in the LOG IN Screen of my lappy. So, I selected the "Update and Restart " button. That's it after that BOOM. I have been stuck in "Please Wait" screen ever since. Any suggestions for a quick recovery will be helpful .

You might need to go to a Verizon Wireless corporate store and have them assist you with getting the SIM cards activated and then the phones activated.

IPad 2 stuck on low battery screen

Hello my ipad 2 is stuck on low battery screen and i have tried everything and nothing works, it does not reset and doesnt even enter in DFU mode.. everytime i reset it, it gives me the red battery screen again. i charged it with a wall charger and USB charger to my laptop and nothing works. HELP please

Then this might help you, if you hold both home and power button for 10 -15 seconds.
If that doesn't work:
plug your device to you mac or pc
turn off your device
when it's completly black screen. (You have to have your device plugged in)
then hold power button for 3 seconds
without releasing the power button, hold both home and power for 30 seconds.
then you'll be in DFU mode.
restore.
Hope this will work.

Windows server 2012 stuck at 'Please Wait' screen

I did read through some of the post on a similar scenario with 2008 R2 or earlier versions stuck on "Please Wait" screen while logging in.
There were some suggestions about disabling NLA service or applying the hotfix- KB Article 983551. I'm not sure if this is applicable for Windows 2012 server.
These are virtual machines joined to the domain. After a reboot I'm able to login to the server.
I'm now starting to see this issue occuring on multiple servers on the domain. Can someone advice on this please?

Do you have all the latest patches applied to the system?
Is there any consistency in your environment as to which servers are exhibiting this behavior? For example, servers with a specific MB, BIOS level, firmware, etc.
All systems listed on www.windowsservercatalog.com?
Latest BIOS, Firmware, Drivers on all systems?
This is not typical. It is something in your environment, so you need to look for what is different about your environment.

IPhone 5 crashes on iOS 8 and goes to low battery screen

I was just using my iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.3, and it crashed and went to the low battery screen even though it was 53%. I plugged it in and powered it back on, and it was 53% (iPhone had not lost any charge).
I don't know what is causing this problem, but it has happened 4 times now.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, or is it a certain configuration or setting that causes this problem?

thank you for typing on apple community
try to reset your phone
step 1:
hold the home phone and the power button for 10 seconds
and turn it back on
step 2;
if step 1 don't work back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
step 3
go under setting
go to general
go to reset
and go to erase all content and settings
follow that step
itll erase everything but if you do step 2 itll be saved... and itll show you how to back up also

The icon, I believe is for the voicemail APP, Visual Voicemail, that carries a subscription charge - it is not the same as your *86 standard voicemail.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=55911 shows the icon (is that what you are seeing?) and http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=56168 gives details on activating Visual Voicemail. If yo uonly have standard voicemail, then : http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=55976 is how you access it.

IPhone 6 Plus low battery screen missing

Hello,
I just got my new iPhone 6 Plus Space Grey 128GB today. I used the whole day to run down my phone to 0% for first time charge. When my phone off itself when 0% battery, I tried to click on the On/Off button and the Home button, but the low battery screen wasn't appear. Previously for my old phone iPhone 4S, whenever the phone off itself and I click on the On/Off/Home button, the low battery screen will appear. The low battery screen here refer to the screen with black background with white battery icon and charger cable icon.
May I know anyone of you using iPhone 6 Plus has similar problem? I did a restore from my iPhone 4S backup before I rundown my battery to 0%. I am not sure if originally it was already behave this way or due to the phone restore.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Nicholas

facing the same issue on my new iphone 6 plus... any solution????

Low Battery Screen when battery is fully charged

My phone has started displaying the low battery screen, and refusing to do anything, after being unplugged from the charger for a few hours. The battery is fully charged, but after only 1-2 hours, the phone starts to display that warning screen and going back off. Sometimes, if you push the home key as soon as the warning screen goes off, it will come up normally. Sometimes, it won't.
I believe this all started (along with the texting issues several other people have had) after the last update, I believe it is 2.2.1.
Is anybody else having this issue? I have drained the battery and restored, I have reset the settings at least twice, I have forced a restart... any other suggestions? Thanks!

Same problem. Just sitting beside me on the table occasionally the screen light up for no reason flashing the red low battery screen. Pressing home, power, etc a few times brings the phone up and shows the true battery charge which is wherever it would normally be - from full to partial discharge depending on how much Ive used it. Seems to not really be indicating something with the battery but ore of a random phantom ghost bug in the OS somewhere that displays that screen for no reason.
