IPod touch 4G keeps flashing battery in lock screen

I plugged my iPod 4G into my new windows 8.1 laptop and I keep getting the battery/charging symbol flash on my lock screen when plugged in.
My iPod worked completely fine in my windows 7 laptop, there is nothing wrong with the iPod or the USB as far as im aware as it worked in windows 7 laptop and im assuming its something to do with my new laptop but have no idea...
If anyone has any idea to what is wrong please tell me... Im confused and don't understand whats going on.
Thanks in advance,
Stephanie.

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

    - 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. The appointment is free.

  • My sons iPod touch 5 keeps flashing with the apple logo, how do I sort it?

    My sons iPod touch 5 keeps flashing the apple logo, he was playing on it and then that happened?

    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?  Has it EVER been dropped?  Did it EVER get excessively wet?  Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
    If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Ipod Touch ios 5 camera button on lock screen wont open camera

    I recently upgraded my Ipod Touch Gen4 to ios 5.1.  All went well, except when I push the camera button on the lock screen, it tries to open the camera but then changes back to the lock screen.
    Its like the lock screen moves upward to show the camera app underneath, but then closes.
    Ive done a reset and restore but no luck. 
    Any help please??

    No problem.  Glad to have helped.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • If you bought the iPod touch from somebody and then you locked yourself out of it what should I do because the guy didn't give me his iTunes password?

    If you bought the iPod touch from somebody and then you locked yourself out of it what should I do because the guy didn't give me his iTunes password?

    Sounds like the Activation Lock (iOS 7) is working as designed. It determs theft since y have to know the APple ID's passward to use/restore the iPod foro use. Unless you can get the password you have a nice but thin brick. Likely the iPod was stolen

  • My daughter's ipod touch was hacked.  She is locked out of it.  It says try again in about 22 million minutes.

    How do you unlock an ipod touch that has been hacked and locked?

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • My iPod Touch 3Gen keeps saying I need to restore it. I have 7 times, and everytime it dies I have to do it again. Help!

    My iPod Touch 3Gen keeps saying I need to restore it. I have 7 times, and everytime it dies, I have to do it again. Also, last time I restored it, it wouldn't connect to my house's wifi, I reset it and it only worked for a minute. It worked fine before, then all of a sudden this stuff happened. It is a "refreshed" one. I broke my old one, but since I had a warranty I got a "refreshed" one. In the box they gave me a number to call if anything happened, but my brother threw it away. Do you think I could conact them, and if I can, does anyone know if the number on the card is the # here on the website?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
