IPod not holding a charge

My fourth generation iPod touch does not register when I plug it in to charge or when I try to sync it to iTunes. I haven't dropped it, and it has not been damaged in any way, and it isn't even a year old. Could there be a manufacturing problem? Will apple fix it for no charge since I haven't done anything to damage it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

Not Charge

IPod not holding its charge

I have had my iPod colour 60gb model for just over a month now and all of a sudden the battery is not holding its charge. It is literally going from full to empty in minutes. Anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar problem with a mini, (no not the car, the ipod!) and did a reset and then it held the charge next time.

7th Gen NANO ipod not holding a charge

My Nano will hold a partial charge lasting 2hrs play time. This occurs even with wall charger or USB connection. I have tried resetting to factory defaults. Anyone one have any idea(s)?

Hello there DOC045,
It sounds to me like you've done all the troubleshooting you can for this issue where your iPod doesn't hold a charge. I would next have to recommend you have your iPod nano serviced:

Anyone else's ipod not holding a charge??

My ipod seems to die on me after about an hour... anyone else having similar problems?

I connect ipod to an outlet but i've also tried connecting it to the computer. I've only had it for a few days.

MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge. I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time. I drains to the red line in less than 2 days. My husband's nano will last a week this way.

I drains to the red line in less than 2 days. My husband's nano will last a week this way. I thought it drained because of looking at photos, so I quit looking at them and it made no difference. Am I doing something incorrectly to cause this short battery life?

You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new." Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

After being dropped in water my Ipod will only work when hooked up to the computer or docking station. It will not hold a charge. What do I need to do?

My son dropped his Ipod in some water, we put in a bag of rice overnight and it works fine when connected to the computer or docking statioon but it will not hold its charge once it is off the cable & not hooked up, so he cannot listen to it unhooked.. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!!

Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.

Why does my nano not hold a charge?

I have a 1st generation Nano and it will not hold a charge. can anyone help me?

Todd,
Considering that the Nano is a 1G Nano, meaning it's quite a few years old, it's likely that the battery is shot and in need of replacement. You can choose to have Apple repair it, a third party company, or you can even choose to replace the battery yourself.
However, another thing to consider is whether or not the repair would be worth the cost giving the iPod's age.

The battery in the iPod is not user-replaceable. Take your iPod to an Apple Store or contact Apple Support and they can arrange replacement.
