IPod Touch 5 not charging properly

I have an iPod touch 5 which i have had for just over a year. in the last few days it hasn't been charging past 20% no matter how long i leave it. Today i managed to get it to charge to about 30% but it wont go any further. There is a little dust in the dock but i have tried getting it out but its not working. Its not the cable as its working fine with my phone. Someone please help.

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

Why is my 4th generation ipod touch not charge? I plug it into the computer and the wall and with 2 different usb cables and its not charging. When its plugged in it shows the icon for charging but the battery never increases and it dies once i disconnect

I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
I have not idea what has happened ....
Please help
THanks!

- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

1st generation ipod touch not charging/syncing to my Mac.

My ipod touch 1st generation is not syncing or charging to my mac. In fact I have 2 - of the same ipods and both suddenly quit syncing/charging. Although I have used the same docking port on my mac for months ... I tried a different port and still nothing. The ipod lights up with the apple screen and then goes to the home screen - but nothing happens after that. ITunes shows no devices as well. The ipod just eventually goes to sleep.
Thanks in advance for your help.

IPod Touch Not Working Properly After Front Screen and Housing Replacement

So my son left his iPod Touch 4th Gen on my back bumper and it fell off out in our dirt/gravel driveway. I finally found it, 7 days later, run over multiple times. Front screen and back housing were demolished as you can see, but it still worked fine (except rear facing camera was done). Ordered the rear camera, front screen and back housing assemblies off eBay from reputable sellers. Took it all apart and reassembled it. Bada bing! Everything was working fine: camera, speakers, touch screen, wi-fi, all of it, for about 2 days . It went from working perfectly, to being kinda glitchy (had to hold home and power to restart), to not turning on at all. I read somewhere that if you don't clean all metal to metal contacts, it may interfere and not work properly, so I just took it (almost) all apart again, cleaned the contacts, and it turned on and was working, but this time only for about half an hour. I've held down the home and power buttons for long periods of time, which sometimes got it to work, but now is not working at all. Any ideas on what might be going on??? Is the screen bad? Did I maybe miss a metal to metal contact (e.g. the power button, ribbon cable)? Any really important ones that you can tell me about? I really don't want to take it into the Apple store, but if I do, any ideas on a ruff guesstimate on what it's gonna cost me? Thanks for any help! I really appreciate it, I'd love to get this thing working for my 7 year old so I can have my d*** phone back!

Ipod Touch Not Working Properly

Ok My Ipod Touch 2nd gen was working fine till it just randomly turned off. The Ipod now turns turns itself off everytime i enter apps. When it turns itself off it will not turn back on, The apple simble comes up with different coloured backgrounds such as red or blue. These colours are often striped. It will normally take at least 10 minutes to turn back on. sometimes it also freezes.
When it is charging it also turns off.
I have also tried restoring it and updating it, this takes a fair bit off time because it'll turn off a number off times when it is snycing, I will then have to start all over again
Does anyone know what is wrong with it?

did you already try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If this does not work, try to delete the ipod software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged.

1st Gen iPod touch not charge and not recognized by iTunes

I bought 1st gen iPod touch without cable. It won't charge or be recognized by iTunes. Purchased a new 1st gen cable, but still doesn't work. Do I still have the wrong cable, or is there another problem?

Did the sell say it was working?
Per the Apple store, the current dock-to-USB cable can be used with all iPod Touches.

IPod Touch not charging in dock

I have a Sony dock but my iPod won't charge in the dock
Running iOS 5 ,iPod 4, the dock model # is CMT-BX20i
Thanks in advance Logan0916

Ive dug around in both my ipod slot and the docking slot and got a tiny bit of dust out of there but that didn't make any difference. I then tried it back on the dock in my tv which worked fine, and then tried it on a friends ipod dock, where it also worked.
Also, earlier, it worked for about 10 minutes before displaying the message about my ipod not working on this accessory. Is it more likely to be a problem with the ipod dock? And that i should try and get a replacement dock?

IPod Touch not charging in any external power sources?

About a year and a half ago, I had an issue with syncing/charging my iPod touch (2nd gen I think? There's no camera on it) in my computer (Dell Studio 1700 PC). It charged everywhere else, the wall, my alarm clock dock...
I was told to update my device drivers and that resolved the problem. I was able to charge/sync in my computer again. But since I updated the drivers, it stopped charging in the wall/dock. There was no software upgrade during this time, although there has been in the months following.
Any way I can get it to charge everywhere again? I've seen suggestions that newer models don't fit old connections, but none of my accessories were incompatible at the time of purchase.

I upgraded my software to what iTunes said was the most recent version in an attempt to troubleshoot as well, but there was no change.

My ipod touch not charging. what should i do ?

ive tried charging my ipod touch for the last few days but for some reason wont. what should i do ?

A reset may help. Push and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds. Ignore the slide to turn off indicator and release buttons when the Apple logo reappears.

Ipod touch not working properly. need help on wether or not to replace battery or something else.

My iPod touch 4th generation 8g is acting up. when i touch an app, it loads like normal but then goes black for about 2 seconds then returns to the normal screen where all the apps are. my music won't play for a long amont of time either (for example about 5 to 10 min.) without going black and freezing for about 2 seconds and returning to the regular scree. my 90 day warrenty has been up for a while and i was wondering if it could possibly be the battery and maybe i should just get the battery replaced, or if any of you have suggestions, i am all ears! Help! and the Apple service company was no help and said i had to buy a package plan in order to get phone service!

The warranty is for one year unless you purchased AppleCare which extends it for a total of two years. The 90 days is for free phone support.
Try in order:
- Reset the iPod, Nothing will be lost,
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes onthe computer
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod, also via iTunes
If you still have a problem then you likely have a hardware problem and make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective, you should walk out with a refurbished iPod.
For how to restore, see the restoring topic of:

2nd gen ipod touch not charging

When i plug my ipod into charge it says its charging and it gives it a little juice but it wont charge past 10%. The ipod will do weird things like randomly going to the unlock page when i havnt even touched it. It only acts weird when the charger is on it. ive tried multiple cords and wall chargers. is it the charging port or the battery? or both?

Sounds like the battery. But better make sure before you send it in. Sorry.

IPod Touch (2nd Gen) not charging properly and apps won't update

Hi, I'm not really sure if or how these problems can be linked, but I thought I'd put them together just in case...
My first problem is that my apps aren't updating properly. When I try to apply the updates, I get the "waiting" come up but then it just resets having done nothing, sometimes needing me to switch my iPod right off and on again before I can use the app again. I tried connecting my iPod up to my computer to apply the updates through iTunes and it seemed to work, but none of them actually updated.
Having connected to iTunes and tried to sync everything, I also got an error message saying that the apps couldn't be synched due to not being able to determine what apps were on my iPod. However, they were all sitting there looking like they had synched.
The second part of the problem is that my iPod doesn't seem to be charging properly anymore. The battery doesn't seem to be lasting as long as it should and I've noticed that sometimes when I'm charging it, I get the symbol come up that means it's running from the mains, when it should actually still be the symbol to show it's currenty charging, so I'm wondering if the problem is that it's not charging properly some of the time rather than the charge isn't lasting long enough.
If anyone's got any ideas how to resolve any of this I'd really appreciate it
Thank you

My ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop. The ipod touch starts charging then stops. This keeps continuing. Please help.

my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
