Ipod says it's charged when it isn't

When I put my new Ipod Touch onto my Soundmaster Dock to charge the little battery in the right hand corner says that it's fully charged, however on the slide to unlock screen it shows that the battery is only 30% full. When I put the Ipod on my friends dock it starts charging immediatley, same with on my computer. Is something wrong with my Ipod? Can it be fixed? Or is it just my dock? Thanks for any help you can offer.

If the iPod charges OK on the computer and your friends dock then your dock is faulty.

  • Why does my Ipod say its charging when it isn't reseaving any power?

    I read every article on the support part of the apple website and nothing could help me. My Ipod touch is a 3rd generation and has 32 gigs, if thats relavent at all. So, my Ipod has a picture of a dead battery with a lightning bolt on it, and it only shows when its charging. The apple support said that picture means that the Ipod is charging, but is so dead that it cannot function, and to let it charge for 30 minutes and it should be better. It sat on a wall charger (a usb outlet that is plugged into the wall) for 3 days now and theres been no progress. So why does my Ipod say its charging when it isn't reseaving any power?
    I've tried 2 wall chargers, and tried connenting it to all three of my computers, and tried about 4 differant charger cords. On all of them the Ipod says its charging, but it isn't getting any charge. So I don't believe its a severed power cord. I have also reset it a few times, and it won't show the apple sign, only the same battery/lightning picture.

    It could also be the charging circuit in the iPod. The Genius Bar is free. You could try to replace the battery yourself but that may not fix it.
    This site provides instructions and where to get parts.

  • TA44551 Just recently my ipod nano's battery seemed to stop working? I plug it into a charger, the ipod says it's charged, but when I take it off the charger, the screen goes black. What's going on? How can I fix it?

    Just recently my ipod nano 4th generation's battery seems to be messed up? I plug it into the charger and the ipod says it's charged, but when I take it off the charger, the screen goes black. What is going on and how can I fix it? I'm really sad because it happened so suddenly.

    Yes.  The battery appears to be shot and in need of a replacement.  This can either be done by Apple or a third party repair company.

    You can Google "iPod battery replacement" for third party service centers.

  • Ipod says no music but when connected to computer shows music

    ipod says no music, but when hooked to mac shows music and playlists

    In the Mac iTunes, you may be looking at the iTunes library, click the iPod iCon in the device pane, and look at the summary page, it will tell you what is shown in the iPod.
    The Capacity  section will report Audio, and Other (which in your case may contain your music) due to filesystem coruuption.

  • Battery reporting it is fully charged when it isn't

    Hello,
    Read through some of the forum posts last night and this morning to see if my question was answered but didn't really see anything. Here is the issue:
    Problem:
    Macbook Pro's Battery is reporting that it is fully charged when it isn't. This is displayed on both the Energy Settings under System Prefs and on the On Board Battery Meter. Issue started yesterday afternoon. If I unplug my machine from the charger, it'll last for all of a minute before it turns itself off.
    I have tried multiple reboots, system updates and have even gone as far as clearing the SMC, none of these "fixes" worked. I do let the battery cycle all the way down till I get the "Low Power" notification before switching over to the power adapter on a daily basis. I believe that this is a hardware issue on the battery end since it itself is reporting a full charge.
    Bought the unit back in February 2008, so I am well within my warranty, but thought I would get some ideas before I head into the store today.
    Here is the Power Section from my System Profiler:

    Welcome to the Forums!
    Thanks for looking for the answer first - it's tough without the search function (which has been temporarily disabled).
    Definitely take it in for service, as a brody suggests.
    One side note (and the reason for this post) - you state +"I do let the battery cycle all the way down till I get the "Low Power" notification before switching over to the power adapter on a daily basis."+ This is actually quite bad for lithium-based batteries like the one in your MBP. Nickel-based batteries (NiCd, NiMH) have a 'memory' and need to be used like that. Li-based batteries have no 'memory', and full discharges are actually bad for them. Frequent, light usage is best.
    Hope this helps (with your next battery!)...

  • I have a iPod touch and it charges when it dies  but....

    I have a iPod touch and it charges when it dies and when it turns back on it does not charge what do i do

    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. I suspect a hardware problem.

  • WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD??

    WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD ???

    How are you trying to charge it, via a computer or the wall plug ? If a computer, then a lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.
    If the wall charger then have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If that doesn't work then have you tried a different charger and/or cable ? Do you know anybody else with an iPad so that you can try their charger and cable and they can try yours ?

  • My ipod touch suddenly stopped charging when connected to my iHome audio system.

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped charging when connected to my iHome audio.  I downloaded the newest update to iTunes and then when I plugged my iTouch into my iHome a message popped up that said the iPod touch was unable to charge on the device.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Contact iHome. Maybe there is a firmware update for the dock. Sometimes an iOS update breks compatibility. However, sometimes the following works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Plz help! my ipod no longer gets charged when connected to my computer

    as the topic suggests, my ipod with video(5.5G) always shows that its fully charged when connected to my computer. but it wasn't like this a period of time ago, i wonder why. plz help me. i now dare not to transport more than 1g files to my ipod in case it would run out of battery and sth worse may follow...
    since my computer is old with a celeronA 533(overclocked to 760, not a big difference), i closed lots of the system services which i think are useless, maybe that's the problem? but which service should i start? ipodservice.exe is always running when i connect my ipod with my pc
    btw, i must say sorry with my poor english, hope you understand what i mean

    If you mean that when plugged in it shows the iPod being fully charged but when you disconnect the battery is actually dead, then you probably have a defective battery.

  • Ipod touch will only charge when I press up on the charger

    My ipod isn't recognizing the USB wire properly, and will only charge when I press it in a certain way (where the wire connects to the ipod)
    please help!

    Have you tried another cable?
    Do you have a wall charger? If so, have you used it and tried other outlets?

  • Ipod says very low charge but then doesnt charge

    cheers

    Have a look at these. They may help.
    iPod battery doesn't charge.
    iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
    Only the Apple logo appears when turned on.
    Sometimes if the battery gets completely discharged, simply connecting to a USB port on the computer doesn't supply enough power to "kick start" the charging process. In theory it should do, but yours seems to be a common problem.
    Do you have access to a wall charger?

  • How come my Ipod Touch will only charge when plugged into a computer and not a docking station or wall socket?

    My IPhone works with both the charging USB cable as well as the wall socket and docking station.  Additionally, my IPod used to charge using both the wall socket plug in and the docking station.  My IPod will stay play music when plugged into the docking station, but won't charge.  Further, when I plug my IPod into my computer all it will do is charge and is not recognized by ITunes.  I have done both a soft and hard reset.

    If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • My original Ipod 30gb will not charge when plugged in (suspect battery completely dead...). Help

    My orignal 30gb ipod will not charge when plugged in to a power socket. I think the battery has completely run down. Any thoughts?

    Which model is this iPod.  The "original" iPod was 5GB or 10GB, so this must be a 3rd gen iPod, at the earliest.  This document shows all the iPod models.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1353
    If it's a 3rd gen iPod, it has a dock connector, but it needs to be connected to a FireWire port to charge.  It does not charge from a USB port.
