Ipod Touch 2G charging

Why will my 32Gb Ipod Touch 2G charge when synced with the computer or from a mains adaptor with an output of 5V 1A but not from any number of emergency battery packs I have tried with a similar output? What's the difference that I am missing? Surely if there was a problem with my Touch then it would not charge at all.

Getting a little warm is normal. Getting shocked is not. Are you sure you have the cable plugged in fully at both ends? If you have access to a different cable, try charging with that and see if the same thing happens. Are you charing using a USB port or are you using an AC adapter? Try a different port or outlet. Are all of your outlets grounded? If none of those changes make a difference, it may be the Touch itself in which case, you'd want to think about repairs.
Best of luck.

  • My iPod touch wont charge or turn on?

    My iPod touch was not fully charged but it had some charge and then it just turned off and now it won't turn back on. I plugged my iPod touch into charge and the red battery and lightning symbol comes on but that is still there a couple of hours later. If I unplug it it, is just a black screen and no matter what I do nothing happens. I can't turn it on and I have tried several different chargers that work for other devices so it is not the charger. I am abroad so I haven't got my laptop to see if it will charge that way or be detected in iTunes. I have tried resetting it and restarting it but nothing seems to be working. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? Any suggestions would be nice. Thank you.

    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 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.

  • Why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77%  78% help me please

    why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77%  78% help me please

    All batteries recover a bit when they sit for a little while.  Also most iPod battery apps register only in 5% increments, because it is hard to really be accurate to the single percent.  Just because yours shows in 1% increments does not mean it is actually accurate to that level.

    To recover from a loss screen passcode, connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on the computer.  If iTunes asks for the unknown passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • HT1476 My ipod touch only charges when im not using it, when i use it, it doesnt bring up the charging symbol

    My ipod touch only charges when its not in use and doesn't come up with the charging symbol. Please help cheers

    First try another charging source. Maybe the source yo are using is not putting out enough pwere when the screen is on.
    Next try:
    - 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:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
