IPod Nano 6th charging icon disappears while still plugged in

My iPod's charging icon disappears while it's still plugged in to my PC, as soon as I "eject" the iPod from Windows. So, to be as clear as I can (sorry for the repitition if you got it the first time - I just like to be sure): even though I have selected (either from iTunes or just via Windows itself) to "eject" a.k.a. "safely remove" my iPod from my computer, it is still plugged in to the USB port. The "Connected" screen is replaced with the menu, which is normal, but what I'm asking about is this: the battery icon in the top-right corner appears as though I have unplugged the device completely; the "charging/fully charged" indicator that I usually see when it's physically connected is missing.
So, my question is, is this normal? Could it be a bug in the iPod, or perhaps a bug in Windows 7? More impiortantly (to me), does the absence of a charging indicator mean that the iPod is actually no longer charging, even though it's still plugged into a powered USB port it was charging from only a minute before? I know my iPod never used to do this...

hi thanks for the reply.
yeah i noticed that although it shows 'charged', it restores a tiny bit of residual charge to the battery, maybe 5-10% after being plugged in for 3+ hours. mine happens always however.
i've sent it back to apple and am awaiting a replacement (6-7 working days apparently) under warranty. hopefully the new one wont have this problem.
cheers,

  • My Ipod nano's charging icon doesn't appear

    since i got my ipod nano 4gb, 4 days ago i have noticed that when I plug in my it into my computer to charge, I don't see the green battery icon, instead I get the DO NOT DISCONNECT red circle. No matter how long its plugged in, that icon doesn't go away. Why?
    Thanks

    If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
    You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject. With a Mac, drag the iPod into the trash.
    If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes version 7 or later, connect the iPod and when you see the summary screen, uncheck the box marked "enable disk use".
    If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, right click on the iPod in the source list, select options and uncheck the same box.
    In future your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

  • Ipod nano 6th generation hot

    My ipod nano 6th genration gets very hot when plugged via USB and remains black screen. Any help? THX

    Thanks, I have to call back 800 692-7752 - the hours are 6AM - 6PM Pacific Time. The recorded message reccommends the site https://expresslane.apple.com  - you need your device serial number for this.  It's a shame Apple placed this number under the tiny clip on the 6th Generation Nano.  (!!!)  
    Looks like I'll be waiting for the help line to open  :/

  • IPod Nano 6th Generation Not Charging/Holding Charge

    Hi.
    My iPod Nano 6th generation will not charge or hold a charge. I plug it in and it will turn on for about 30 seconds or less and then die. It will then continue to turn on and die unless I unplug it in which case it will die and not turn on. Any advice/suggestions and/or help finding what is wrong would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    hold down the enter button for 5 secs then plug into wall while still holding it down.

  • New iPod Nano 6th Gen just got it going today and it won't stay on. It starts playing a song and pauses (shuts down?) after a few seconds. It's fully charged what do i do? Help please!!

    New iPod Nano 6th generation just got it going today. It is fully charged but shuts off a few seconds into a song, what do I do?

    I received mine yesterday as replacement for 1st generation and yes I had exactly the same problem.
    I don't think it is anything to do with headphone plug [jack].
    I played around with the settings and have just managed to listen to three hours without problem.
    Music settings; shake to shuttle off, sound check off, double click - play/pause, audio cross fade and group compilation on. Can't be all these but trial and error as to which one - unfortunately it came without instructions.
    The only other thing was that I had it in pocket while i was moving whereas yesterday I was sat at desk with nano at rest.

  • New iPod nano 6th generation won't charge.

    I just bought a new ipod nano 6th generation multi-touch. I opened it and it had no charge and a black screen, no surprise I assumed it just has no juice in it. I plugged it into my macbook pro via the USB cord included and after leaving it attached for over 3 hours it still has yet to charge or offer me more than a black screen. Is there any way to remedy this? Am I doing something wrong? Is it just simply dead and I need to return it for another? I have a half marathon to run in a week and I'd like to know soon so I can have it for the race x.x

    If it does not get enough juice from the USB port, it will not charge.
    You should NOT connect it to a USB hub. Connect it directly to the computer. If you use a desktop computer, use one of the ports on the back, not one on the front, which tend to be lower power.
    You say you are using a macbook, which tend to be better about power. Make sure you don't have any settings that turn off power to the usb ports when the computer goes to sleep. Check your power settings in the settings screen.

  • How to turn on 6th gen iPod Nano after charging?

    Hello, could anyone help me with this issue:
    My iPod Nano was completely drain out of battery so I was charging it this morning, I want to ask is it normal when your iPod doesn't turn on quickly after charging after completely out of battery? is it different from iPhone (in iPhone it will show charging sign)?
    What should I do to check if my iPod is charged correctly? or this is a sign that my iPod was broken? please help, thanks
    I left my iPod at home and still charging it for the next two hours.hoping it will turn on again.

    Hello greenmous,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If the iPod's battery had fully drained, it could take up to at least half an hour before your iPod begins to show any signs of life, depending on whether you have it plugged into a USB port on your computer or connected to an external power adapter.
    For now I would let it be. If still no signs of life after a while, try resetting the iPod.
    To reset iPod nano:
    First, make sure iPod nano is charged. Then press the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    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 another cable       
    - 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.
