Ipod touch 5th generation not charging anymore

I got my Ipod for Christmas in 2012 and it was kept in perfect condition until one little drop that shattered the screen about 10 months ago. The drop never affected the performance of the Ipod in anyway. It worked fine until yesterday when I thought my charger started getting faulty. My friend plugged his phone in and it charged perfectly fine and that left me to think that it is either the battery that is old/ breaking or the charging port is messed up. I've cleaned it out and plugged it in but nothing is happening. I plug in the charger and no charging notification shows up.

My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all,
i upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and after that my ipod started having trouble charging, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning cable chargers and my ipod still would'nt charge, so it died. now the only thing my ipod does is when i try to turn it on it shows the apple logo and then the screen goes off and does it again for a few times and then the screen stays off and my ipod gets really hot but wont turn on for the rest of the day help!!

The hotness indicate a hardware problem.

My iPod Touch 5th Generation loses charge when the device is turned OFF!!! Help!

I bought my iPod Touch 5th Generation a couple months back and it has been working beautifully. I loved the new design, features, color choices, etc. However, just a couple days ago, my iPod has been acting up. I turned it off one night with a FULL battery (I usually turn it off when I'm not using it) and when I turned it back on in the morning, half the battery was gone. Originally, I assumed that maybe I just didn't swipe to turn it off right. WRONG. I charged it up, used it, and turned it off again for the night. When I turned it on the next day, the battery was practically gone. I tried not to panic, so I just restored the iPod to its original settings. I erased EVERYTHING. Then I charged it for a good six hours. The problem didn't go away.
This isn't a cheap device. I'm sure you guys know that. The only reason why I think this could be happening could be because of the new iOS 6.1.2 update. I updated my iPod about a week or so ago. And now I'm having this serious problem? That is the ONLY possibility I could think of. And this thing is brand new. I treat it like it is made of glass. Literally. I'm so meticulous when it comes to my things.
So can someone please help me try to fix this problem? I still have a warranty and the iPod is under a year old. To replace the battery now is ridiculous. It's brand new. I didn't pay hundreds of dollars for my iPod to croak on me after using it for a couple of months.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much!

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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod Touch (5th Generation) cannot charge?

I just recently saw an ad on craigslist of someone selling an iPod Touch (5th Generation) for extremely cheap. The catch was the battery could not charge. Considering how cheap I got it, I figured it would be a simple battery replacement or such that I could find online and I would have a like-new iPod Touch. The only issue is I cannot find any solutions to this exact problem. Basically what has happened is, no matter where I plug-in this iPod, I only get the empty battery logo with the lighting bolt underneath. I have tried changing cords, and changing where it gets charge from, (my computer, wall charger, iPad charger) and it does the same thing. I have even tried leaving it charged for over 30-min+ and it still does not charge. I do not know the history of this iPod, but it seems as though I can see 2 very small dents on the back of the iPod. I have attempted all the basic diagnostics on this iPod
The iPod is :
iPod Touch 5th Generation 32GB (Pink)
Any feed-back is much appreciated.

iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- 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.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one $149. They do not fix yours. The dents indicate abuse and thus voids the warranty.

AirPlay iOS 8 iPod Touch 5th Generation Not Available?

I have an iPod Touch 5th generation (latest generation) that was purchased just over a year ago. I am currently running iOS 8.0.2, and cannot connect to a third-party AirPlay streaming device (a Raspberry Pi Model B running OpenElec version 4.2.1 with AirPlay enabled). I have tried multiple approaches to fix this issue (uPnP on my router, enabling other connections such as SSH and Samba), but nothing I do will cause any AirPlay options to come up in the control centre. However, when I look on an iPhone 4s, the AirPlay options come up immediately in the control centre, and AirPlay works with my third-party device and the iPhone 4s. Is there a bug within the iOS 8 configuration for the iPod touch, or are my settings set incorrectly?
**Note: AirPlay worked before I updated to iOS 8

Mine works just fine and I didn't have to do anything. However, it may be worth your while to try pairing the devices again, Also, a system reset wouldn't hurt. 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.

IPod touch 4th Generation not charging.

I have had my iPod touch 4th Generation for 3 weeks, after having to buy a new one because i was refused by anyone to have my old iPod 4th Generation fixed as its screen wouldn't work
Anyway, last night my iPod was charging fine when i went to sleep, but after i went to sleep it had obviously stopped charging during the night as it had red battery
I have tried charging it in the computer, docking station and a plug in the wall but neither of them work, i have even tried changing the USB cable and nothing will work
Any ideas of how to fix this? I've seen many complaints on here about it but no one knows how its happened to their iPod because it just happens
My iPod is now completely off because it wont charge and the battery is dead so i cant get onto my iPod to do anything
Help please?

See the not charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Also look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bend or corroded contacts, foreign material and crack or broken plastic.

Why does my ipod touch 5th gen not charge when plugged into my computer? (it keeps stuttering(lightning symbol next to bettery goes on and off literally every second))

so I have my ipod touch 5th gen connect and the little lightning symbol, next to the battery on the top left, keeps flashing on and off every second. I don't know what to do and also it doesn't show up on iTunes.

Hey Ed, Try trouble shooting 101. Do you have a different cable and/or charging device? If so, try the different cable first, then a different charging device. If the problem goes away, I'd say it's the cable, replace it. If with in 1 from date of purchase, Apple will replace for free if the cable is found to be defective. If the problem continues with a different cable or a different charging device, then the problem is with your iPod. With a strong light and a magnifying glass look in the iPod's charging port. Your looking for damage in and around the port. Is the port lose? (shouldn't be). Are pieces missing or damaged? Bent or damaged contact pins can do what you describe. Foreign debris, namely pocket lint or corrosion can also cause charging issues. If you see something like lint, try to blow it out, or if you must use a non-conductive probe, I find a round wooden toothpick works well to carefully remove the lint from the bottom of the port. Just be careful to not touch, bend or damage the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Also make sure the locking pins on the short ends (looks like two silver bumps, one on each end) of the port are free to move. If you find corrosion, try plugging / unplugging about 12 times to clean the contacts off. If you must use a cotton swab cut to fit, with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, you want it damp, not wet, then plug it in and out until the swab comes out clean. You will most likely need several swabs. If you find nothing physically wrong, then try resetting your iPod. If that does not work, restore from backup, last resort, make a backup then restore to new, a full factory restore. If issue continues see your Apple store and have it evaluated for a possible hardware issue. But start with a different or new cable. Good luck, Cheers.

IPod touch 5th generation not turning on

Hello, my iPod Touch 5th gen will not turn on. When I woke up, it would not switch on from pressing the home button or holding down the top button. Last night, it was working when I put it on the charger. The only change that I had made to the iPod was that I put the newer model of headphones in and left them there overnight, but I don't think that would have caused any problems.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

Ipod Touch 5th Gen Not Charging - FIXED

I'm pretty tech savy but couldn't figure out why my 5th Gen Ipod Touch with the Lightning connector would not charge when plugged in via USB. Sometimes wiggling the connector would work but eventually it had stopped. I've tried blowing into the the connector port of the Ipod, I've even used a magnifying glass to inspect for damaged pins and what not and could not find anything wrong.
Eventually I decided to take a toothpick and scrape the internal Ipod connector hoping that it would clean any dirty contacts, doing so revealed that my connector port was loaded with lint from my pants pocket. I ended up picking out a good amount of lint that was not noticeable using the magnifying glass and not affected by blowing into the port of the Ipod Touch, after removing the obstruction the Ipod now charges normally.
NOTE: Do NOT attempt this cleaning method using a metal object such as a pin due to the risk of shorting out the unit, a wooden toothpick worked perfect for my situation.
Hope this method helps someone.

Good advice Jem24,
I would like to add when using compressed air when cleaning out any electronic device, please make sure the device is completely cooled down and not hot to the touch, Hot solid state components do not like cold compressed air and will damage the solid state chips if cooled too quickly. I found this out the hard way by blowing dust out of my desktop pc's and damaging the power supply components inside.

IPod touch 3rd generation not charging

I got the ipod about 4 years ago and now it doesnt charge any more. If I want to charge it I have to push up or down but I only did that once because I dont want to damage it any more. Also awhile ago There was a little piece that came out of the charging spot in the ipod. Could I just get it repaired or something. If someone could help me that would be great.

IPod touch 5th generation not working right since 8.3 software update.

I am having problems with my iPod 5th generation. Ever since I downloaded the new 8.3 software update when i plug it into my usb in my car my radio is reading my iPod and indexing my car radio will start playing for 23 seconds than it freezes my radio and stays at indexing and when I look at my iPod it's still playing even though the car radio is frozen at the first song it started on. I have no problems with my 4th generation one I plug it into my car and it works fine through my radio it reads that iPod and indexes it and starts playing and stays playing.

There's a couple of things you will want to look at:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of Remote
2. Check your firewall settings on your Mac (in System Preferences > Security) and set it to accept all connections.
3. Remote uses two ports through your router firewall that you may have to enable. See this article for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1741

IPod touch 4th generation not charging, not doing anything

My son lost his ipod touch 6 months ago. We found it last night, but now it seems completely dead, even when I plug it into the wall charger or computer. It was completely fine before he lost it, and was just "hiding" safely under a bookshelf for the past few months.

If a battery isn't discharged or recharged for some time, it can lose capacity. You can try this method which might help if it is just frozen: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
