Ipod touch 4g ios5 showing charged icon while the battery is half charged

i bought my ipod touch 4g a month back from naperville, IL. Since four days while charging, the battery level reaches half and the battery full icon i.e. the plug icon comes up and the ipod stops charging. Kindly help me find the solution of the problem...the ipod is running on the latest iOS5 version. I've tried charging my iPod through wall n pc... 
thankyou

I found it was album artwork being too big for the 4 gen itouch music app...
use
Sanse Mp3 Art Sizer
http://hcware.110mb.com/mp3art/
to resize the album picture files to 500 max and the problem should be solved.
You will need to run it in the Command Line to change the resize values from the default 250 pixel 80% Quality jpeg.
So...
Run this...
sansemp3artsizer /500/90
which equals 500 pixels and 90 percent quality.
Took 24 hours to get through 20,000 files but it worked and now my itouch doesn't crash.
Of course I shouldn't have had to this this as my old 3rd gen worked fine, as did my even older ipod classic worked fine....

  • My i-phone won't turn on, it went off all of a sudden even though the battery was half charged and wont turn back on, I've tried holding the home and power buttons but that hasnt worked, can anyone help?

    My i-phone wont turn on and I don't know why, it went off all of a sudden even thought the battery was half charged, I've tried holding the power and home buttons to reset it but that hasnt worked, I don't know what else to try, can anyone help?

    Charge it for 30 minutes with the wall charger, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens your phone is probably broken.

  • 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)

  • On my ipod touch it always shows cannot connect to the internet how can I get it to connect?

    On my ipod touch It shows i am connected wifi and have put in the correct password yet it says i am not connected to the internet.When i try to go on my appd or itunes it is stuck on loading. And so I reset it in my settings now all my apps are blank but when i click on them they are there but i have to sign in to itunes.

    If Restrictions are set for Safari, iTunes ect, theh apps are hidden which is not the case for the poster.

    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another 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.

  • My ipod touch fifth generation wont turn on after the battery died and my home button is broken

    i fell asleep with my ipod touch fifth generation on and when i woke up the battery had died but i tried turning it on and connecting it to the computer but nothings working

    Hi stephkayy223,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPod touch battery has been completely consumed, you may need to connect it to power for several minutes before you will see the charging screen:
    If you see this screen, it means your battery is really low. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes before using it. After that, you can use your device while it continues to charge.
    If your device has turned off, you might see a black screen for a few minutes even after you plug it in. Let it charge until it turns on, or until it's fully charged.
    From:
    Charge your iPhone and iPod touch
    If your iPod touch still does not seem to be charging, the steps in this article can help troubleshoot the device:
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • Why in the new update 5.0.1 apple don't enable multitasking gestures on iPod touch and iPhone? More why did the battery now drains so quick when using wi-fi?

    i want to be informed!

    - Only Apple know why they di not enble the NT gestures.  It is against the terms of this forum to speculate on such things.
    - I have heard that Apple will release an update to fix the battery drain issue in a few weeks.

  • Upgraded my iPod touch to iOS5. How do I get my music back?

    Using my MacBook Pro, I just upgraded my iPod Touch to iOS5 and it erased all the content on my iPod. Now how do I get the content back onto the iPod?

    Thanks for your help, but I found an easier way: Since I have about 3000 songs, a few videos and a few audiobooks, it would have taken me forever to move each item one by one. So instead, I just dragged the content categories from the iTunes library into the iPod content catgories and it worked like a charm. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

  • HT201210 My Ipod-touch was ios5 when I bought. You recommend to upgrade ios6, because set-up icon always shows me "+".  For that on facebook I can't see wall photos. So I want my ipod touch to be back as initial version ios5. How can I do? please tell me.

    Unfortunately, I don't think it solved the problem. I believed the new iPod thing solved the weird behavior problem, but after that the button stopped working.
    Do you know how to contact Genius? Because I don't think I can find a store in my area, when I tried to.

  • My Ipod Touch did not show the charging icon when it is in off position

    Hello,
    It is my new one I just got it on Sunday. I wonder if this device is something wrong? It seems not charge when I shut if off. Need advise about this problem.
    However it charges when I turn it on,obviously it shows charging icon on the screen.

    There is no reason to turn it off - ie. hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the red slider and turn it off type of off. Sleep works just fine and, it will charge and/or sync when in sleep mode.

  • I have an older iPod that no longer shows up in iTunes or appears to be charging.  When I press the Menu and Select buttons, the Apple logo appears and then an icon of a battery with an exclamation point.  Is it dead for good?

    If it is otherwise working, you can change the battery.  If you want to do it yourself, you can buy the part on eBay and other online sources.  Just make sure you know the type of iPod you have so that you get the right part.

    There are online guides, including the ones on this web site
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod
    (Note:  Most replacement batteries come with plastic/nylon tools seen in the guides.)
    You can also have a repair business do the work.
    If it is just the battery, if you do a Reset (using the Menu and Select buttons) while it is connect to your computer, I think it should still be recognized by iTunes.
