IPod shows battery icon with Explanation point

My iPod displays a battery icon with explanation point; however, it won't hold a connection to my Powerbook NOR the wall plug. What can I do to fix this problem? Email me: [email protected]

Mine is doing exactly the same thing! Had wiped the libery yesterday as the memory on it was full and needed to clear some space. Then re-installed the music I wanted on it and as soon I ejected it the power went.
Tried tuning it on and it'll either turn on for a few seconds or just give me a second or two of the silver apple logo before switching to a very faint screen stating: "Please wait. Very low battery"
Have left it on charge over night on a seperate charger as its now not even registering on my Mac. Its worked for a few seconds before crashing again!
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Battery icon with exclimation point

my nano seems to have charging problems, it has been charging all night and all day, and when i unplug it from the charger, it won't turn on as if it hasnt been charged, but the full charge icon doesn't show, the charging one does, so after i unplug it, and plug it back in, the battery icon with an exclamation point flashes on and off with the apple icon, does anyoen know what is wrong, or what i can do to make it work, resetting wont work because it wont even turn on, my last nano had a battery problem, and this is a brand new nano, but still seems to have problems

nope, my last one broke, so that warranty covered a free one, so this is my free one, but its still 1st generation nano

IPod Mini Battery Icon with Lightning--PLEASE HELP!!

When I turn off my iPod, the battery symbol shows up on the screen with the lightning bolt on the left of it--even though it's fully charged. When I leave like that for a period of time and come back to it--the screen is blank but the iPod won't turn on again until I plug it in and charge it again. I think that symbol showing up is running down the battery or something.
This all started when I plugged my iPod into a different computer and I guess it got "confused" and shut down and I couldn't get it to come back on. However, I plugged it into my car charger and reset and it seemed to work fine except the battery icon in the corner had that lightning bolt.
It works fine otherwise it just seems like I will have to have it constantly charging instead of letting it sleep?!
Any advice?

IPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point after discon

Since I always ignore instruction booklets with new devices, I failed to notice the warnings with regard to configuring my iPod mini on a Windows PC. I did not install the included software first and I tried to sync with iTunes (my girlfriend already has an iPod mini so iTunes was already installed). As a result I ended up with folder exclamation point icon.
I tried the folowing already:
1) Reformatting the disk through windows explorer
2) Reset:
The folder icon with exclamtion point appears after reset
3) Running Updater 2004-04-28:
After plugging in the iPod at the prompt, the message "iPod updater can;t install firmware on connected iPod. The iPods hardware and the updater firmware are not compatible." I got the same message when doing the same thing in 'disk mode'.
4) Running the software on the disc that came with it:
When prompted I connected the iPod to the PC. I get a message "Your iPod has been connected. Please wait while the system recognises the device". And then nothing happens.
Please can anyone advise me how to fix this problem?

Ok guys!! I did it!! I fixed my iPod! I want to thanks Apple for the great help they gave me (I'm being sarcastic)!
I remember that I downloaded iTunes 4.9 and the iPod updater from 2 two weeks ago on my neighbor's computer.
As this problem (IPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point when I turn it on) only happened since I upgraded iTunes to 5.0 version and iPod updater, and after one and a half day calling Apple, reading the entire web site looking for an answer, discussing with a lot of people about this problem and nothing happened, I wanted to give the last try and went to may neighbor's computer!!
I turned on the iPod updater.
When it said i had to connect my iPod I did it
Then I pressed RESTORE
After that I plug it in the A/C adapter
It worked
I connected the iPod to the computer again
iTunes worked and my iPod is working as a new one!!

My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it but the only icon is the charging icon with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me?

My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it because the only icon is the charging icon, the one with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me and give me solutions before I go to an apple service center?

Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode. This will be similer to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
First connect you iOS device to you computer.
Open iTunes if not already open
Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button. For another 10 seconds.
Your iOS device should now be on DFU. Click on restore and iTunes will download the lastest iOS for your device.
Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a sevice centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)

Battery icon with an exclamation point on it

My battery life on my 4g ipod was still pretty descent, but just recently, if i don't charge it every other day, i get a battery icon with a exclamation point over it. Did the battery life just drop that quickly, and if so, how do i fix? Send in for a battery replacement, or can i do that myself?

I just plugged it into an outlet, and it started to work, if you the have the charger that you can plug into an electrical outlet it should work.

Battery icon with red line

I have a curve that only displays the battery icon with the red line thru it.
I have tried 3 different batteries in it and have also tried reloading the OS thru DM but no luck. I have a second Curve that works just fine with all the batteries I have for it.
Is there anyother way to reload the OS without using DM to do it? or any other cure for the battery problem

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Try doing the application load with the battery out. It will error out and give a message similar to "unable to connect to device during a multi-stage load operation". Once you get the error, put the battery back in and try the application load again.
You may have to try this four or five times, but if you can "spark" it for the second it looks for the PIN and gets connected you can finish the load.
Make sense?
