Ipod stops charging after a few seconds

My 4th gen ipod stops charging after 6-8 seconds of being plugged in. Since the battery is dead, the black screen with a red battery pops up whenever it's plugged in and then disappears after 6-8 secs or being unplugged. Both the home and power buttons are broke so I'm unable to activate in any way besides plugging it in.

Not Charge
- See:    
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • "AU audio file player" stops playing after a few seconds

    Hi there,
    i use "AU audio file player" in my concert set up.
    It worked fine til yet, but now it just stops playing after a few seconds.
    The track is 3 minutes, but it stops suddenly.
    I tried to reload the tracks and tried loading the "AU audio fle player" into a new session,
    but it still stops playing in any of the sets.
    Any idea?
    Thank you very much, S

    Hi Susanna,
    I did not find a way to trigger it from the keyboard...
    So I decided the following: I made a short cut for QuicKeys which opens the AUAudioFilePlayer and starts the loop I need. A quick solution which works with just hitting one key on the computer and the loop player starts. This works pretty well with QuicKeys but not with MS, the problem: sometimes when I choose by double clicking the AUAudioFilePlayer a black window shows up and only the name is readable, nothing else. I have to close it, reopen it and then- perhaps- the AU shows up and I can push the play button. Do you now that problem?

  • My music file did  not download correctly and stops playing after a few seconds.

    My music files did not download correctly from itunes and stop playing after a few seconds.

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

  • Ipod only charges for a few seconds when connected through USB

    Hello. Thank you for reading. I recently got a replacement ipod. No problem with putting songs back on the new one. However, whenever i plug my ipod into the usb cord on my work computer to charge my ipod, the do not disconnect will come on and the ipod will charge for about 20 seconds and then stop charging and go back to the main menu on my ipod. The only way i can get it to continue to charge is to click on update my ipod on itunes, and that ain't fun. Help smarter ipod users, you are my only hope!

    Try to connect your iPod without the USB Hub
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes

    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.

    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop

  • Touchscreen stops working after a few seconds on new iPad 2

    The touch screen would stop working completely a few seconds after turning on. The iPad is still running fine -- Home/Power/Volume buttons work perfectly. But not the touch screen. I can not control the iPad except turning it on/off or turning the volume up/down.
    Tried resetting the unit by holding Home and Power buttons. Still the same issue after rebooting.
    Tried restoring the iPad completely from iTunes. With a clean iOS the touch screen still doesn't work.
    Leaving the unit untouched for a few hours, then the touch screen would start working again.... for another few seconds. Then it stops working.
    This is a replacement iPad which Apple Store gave me, but I'm out of the country now and there is no Apple Store where I am. How can I get this fixed?

    1. i connect the device to usb power
    The Stor.e Wireless Adapter should be connected to mains power and the other end to the external HDD.
    Then you could use the app to access the content wirelessly.

  • 3G stops booting after a few seconds

    My wife's 3G (3.1.3) crashed last night. I shut it down but I have not been able to get it to boot. The apple logo appears and then the screen goes black after a few seconds. It does this if I start it with the power button or if I start it by holding down the home and power buttons. I have been able to get it into restore mode by holding down the home button and plugging it in to the computer. I would like to try to save some photos on it that were taken since the last backup before I try the restore. Any suggestions?

    It seems that others are having the same issue:

  • Button stops working after a few seconds

    I created a button in Adobe Captivate, which is used to jump
    to an URL. When I run the published swf, the button correctly loads
    the URL, but after a few seconds, the button does not load
    anything, even when the browser window of the URL that was loaded
    initially is closed. In other words, the button can be clicked but
    it does not do anything. This loss of functionality occurs after
    approximately 3 seconds of running the SWF.

    Hi again
    You said you have three buttons on the slide with two of them
    configured for "No action"? Why? What is their purpose if you are
    doing nothing when they are clicked?
    You also said the buttons aren't pausing. If the buttons
    aren't pausing the slide, it is probably simply playing and ending.
    Sounds like you are expecting the slide to pause, so I'm confused
    as to why you removed the pause action from the buttons.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Macbook Air (2012) says "Not Charging" when magsafe2 first plugged in but then starts charging after a few seconds. Is that normal?

    Hi guys,
    I just purchased my first Apple notebook, the Macbook Air 13", last week and needless to say its a wonderful machine. However I've noticed that when I plug in the magsafe2 plug to charge the Air, the text next to battery icon says "Not Charging" for a few seconds (ranges from 1 to 3 seconds) before it disappears and the battery starts charging (the thunderbolt sign comes on). Seeing as this is my first Apple notebook I am unsure as to whether or not this behaviour is normal. I've searched the forums but have only been able to find one other case (w/o a solution).
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hey Guys,
    Thanks for the info so far but now the time until it starts charging has increased to around 9 - 11 seconds, is this still normal?
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • I accidently pulled the cable out when syncing. Now my ipod automatically restarts after a few seconds. What do I do?

    Please help
    I accidently pulled the cable out when syncing. Now my ipod automatically restarts. What do i do?

    OK, in that case a restore should fix things:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.

  • Song on iPod cutting off after a few seconds

    A particular song on my iPod keeps cutting off after just a few seconds. When I play the song in iTunes it plays just fine. I've tried deleting the song from my iPod and reloading it, but it still does the same thing. I have several hundred songs on my iPod and this is the only one I've had any trouble with ... please help!

    Have you updated iTunes and iPod Updater??

  • Audio stops playing after a few seconds when importing a HD clip

    I have CS4 running on Enterprise version of Windows 7 64 bit on the following hardware:
    Processor:  Intel i7-970 Hex core Gulftown
    Motherboard: Asus P6X58 Premium
    RAM: 24GB Kingston DDR3 1065
    Video card: Nvidia Geforce9800GT
    Four hard drives, system disk is stand alone and the other three are split in groups of RAID0
    When I import a HD clip from file (EXCAM EX 720p60p) the audio will play in the source window or the timeline for a few seconds and then quit.  If I edit the clip in Soundbooth, from the timeline, the waveform quits at the point that the audio stopped in the timeline.
    This behavior is very sporatic; sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.  Closing the program and restarting sometimes solves a certain clips audio problem, sometimes it doesn't. Yesterday I worked all day without it happening but today it is happening every few clips.  Some I can fix by restarting Premiere, some I can't.
    If I import the clip from Bridge to Soundbooth the audio waveform is just fine.
    I have seen this problem discussed several years ago but never resolved in that discussion.  Any ideas?

    Yes!  I imported the entire BPAV in a file on my scratch drive under the specific project folder.  From there I am using the media browser in CS4 to either preview the clip or import it into the project.  The audio drops out whether it is previewed or imported.  And as I have said, this behavior is not consistant.  I have yet to find a repeatable cure.
    Also as I have said if I import the offending clip, from the same folder, into Soundbooth using Bridge the waveform is fine.  If I import the same clip into Soundbooth from the Premiere timeline the waveform goes flat where the audio stopped in Premiere.
    Thanks for the quick replies.
    I am readingthe article that was suggested soon.

  • Video (Camera) stops working after a few seconds (Windows XP)

    On starting a video call on Skype, the person I am connecting with can see me in the video.  I cannot see them - only a still picture.  Then within a few seconds the camera stops working, and a line appears through the camera icon.   Skype suggests that there is another application using the camera - but there is no other program using the camera. The camera remains unusable until I quit Skype and restart it... but once again it will only display my video for 4 or 5 seconds. The camera is a fairly new Logitech HD webcam C525, and the computer is running Windows XP.  Skype reports that it is the latest version of the program. Any help gratefully received!

  • Audacity randomly stops recording after a few seconds

    I've been trying to record a few things with audacity, which has generally worked pretty well for me in the past.
    However, whenever I try to record a second track, it only records for a second or so after I hit the record button, and then randomly stops, although the cursor keeps on moving forwards and the meter keeps showing the input.
    I haven't been able to find any reason why it would be doing this, and it is EXTREMELY fustrating. It has also done this when I tried to record for the first time in a new project, but I switched a few settings on and off again and it worked for some reason. Can anyone offer any help?

    Is this still a problem for anyone?  I came here looking for help and found more questions, so I started randomly playing with the input settings.  I have an Ensoniq (es1371).  Choosing OSS/DSP gave me an error trying to read the device; choosing hw0:0 or 0:1 had it stop recording at just over 0.6 seconds; turning software playthrough on or off had no effect.  What finally worked was "ALSA:Default" and use alsamixer to control the recording source.
    At the risk of being branded a linux hater, I should mention that the same hardware under Windows "just works" without any changes needed in the input settings on my part.  I fired up Windows 7 in a vmware window - so not only did the Windows environment work correctly out of the box, that was with the additional layer of alsa -> vmware -> windows.
