Ipod touch usb charging problem when battery is low

I have a fairly new sony vaio laptop with usb 2.0. I've had a 16g touch for about two weeks now and it appeared to charge fine till today. Today was the first day I used it enough to get its battery below 20% (you get a warning) and when I plug it in to my laptop it syncs as usual and the battery charging icon even shows up but after 4-5 hours, the battery graphic is still red -it doesnt seem to have charged very much. I've tried rebooting (both the touch and my laptop) as well as charging my other ipod (a second gen nano) to prove that the ports are fine but that doesnt seem to have fixed this issue. I'd like to know if
1) This is a genuine battery issue/bug and I need to get the ipod replaced
2) I need to get an ac charger
3) Anyone has any other creative fixes...
Thanks,
Shishir

You know I had my Nano do that a couple of time now that you mention it. It would sync with iTunes and everything was great (at least I thought). I use my Nano with the Nike+ thing and I belong to a few running challenges so I sync almost daily just to upload the running data. Well one day it went dead and I thought "there's no way" because it would get synced and I'd usually leave it on for a while. Well I check and sure enough it wouldn't charge. I tried all the ports and nothing. Tried my daughters' Nano and it wouldn't charge. Ended up charging my dead Nano on the PS2.
For whatever reason it just started charging again.

IPod Touch 4G Charging Problems

The third-party charger that I have been using for a year stopped working. I eventually figured out it was the charger, not my PC or iPod. So I use my old Apple charger that came with my iPod which stopped working somewhere in mid 2012 early 2013 (got iPod on Christmas 2011). When my iPod dies, I plug it in with the Apple charger. It will boot up unless I touch it, even a bit, and I have to reconnect it to charge it. Then, while I'm not there, iOS boots, as usual. But, it shows a charging battery in the corner, but the lock screen has my wallpaper, not the battery. Everyonce in a while when it's plugged in, it will go from 20% to having the full charged symbol, and it's not fully charged. Everyonce in a while it also says "Charging not support with this accessory". Also erlier today when my iPod was plugged in, it made the charging sound, one after the other, four times. And nobody was there and the charger was exactly how it was left. It is starting to get really bad and I might get a new (sorry, non-Apple) device. PLEASE HELP! Thank you.

IPod Touch USB Charging

Hi,
I could not find an answer in a quick search of the site sorry if I missed it.
The iPod will not charge using a standard AC to USB adapter. The support site seems to be saying this will work. I have tried a couple of adapters on my cell and the adapters work fine.
Is there something I am missing?
Bryan

It really depends on when the charger was made. Newer chargers should not be a problem. I've got two AC chargers (Belkin and Apple) that work without a hitch. However, none of my 12V chargers worked with my Touch.
Take your touch to the store with you and insist that any AC charger you want to purchase works with your touch. (you can also check the packaging - just make sure it is 2G touch or iPhone compatible).

IPod touch 4 charging problems.

Is there something weong with y iPod touch? lately, i have bought a new wall charger. And now, weird things are happening to my iPod while using this charger. The battery bar on the top right side shows that it is full when in fact, it is still not. Why is this so?

- Try resetting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
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
- Who made thewall charger? What ist he output. Is is written on the charger. It should be like 5 volts and 1 amp (1000 ma). Dos it say it is good for an iPod?
- Does it charge OK with computer?

Why does my iPod Touch stop recording videos when it says low battery

OK I would record a long video, about 20 minutes to be approximate. In the middle of my recording, my iPod tells me my battery is low - I have 20% of battery left. But when the message shows up, it stops recording my video and shows a closed lens on the camera!!!
Then I have to force close the app then restart it. Then I have to make a second video. Is there anyway to tell the iPod Touch low battery warning to shut the f**k up and stop interrupting and stopping my recordings? It is VERY annoying. Please reply soon.

Not that I know of. The 20% warning is like the low fuel light on your car's gas tank, it doesn't know when you'll run out of gas only that it's soon. The reason it stops what your doing is to protect the battery. Completely discharging the battery is very bad for the battery and shortens the life of the battery. Hope this helps, Good luck.

Try the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
It could be that the battery is dead.

i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
iPods need less power to charge them (their wall charger is half the power of the iPad's, 5W as opposed to 10W), so are more likely to charge via USB

Hi there fCdawg123!
I have an article here that can address this issue for you and give you some further troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
As you may note, this article was written for the iPhone, but the steps for troubleshooting will be the same for your iPod touch. This is the section that I believe will help you the most with this issue:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Why is my iPod touch 4G charging and syncing more than just once even though I'm not unplugging the USB?

Yesterday, I connected my iPod touch to my PC with the USB cable charger for my iPod touch 4th Generation. When I connect it, it will sync and back-up my iPod. Then it would say something like this "Sync Complete OK to disconnect." I didn't disconnect the USB or ANYTHING. After like 3 or 5 minutes, it would just sync and back-up my iPod again.. Then it would keep on doing that and after 4 or 5 times, it would finally stop. But, while I'm using my iPod and it's still charging through my PC, it keeps on making that noise when you connect your iPod to your PC/MAC to charge and when you disconnect your USB charger from your PC/MAC. It just makes that noise constantly.. Then, it will stop after a couple of minutes. This is really frustrating me. If someone could help, I would be glad and it will brighten my day. THANKS.

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.
- Restore from backup. See:

- 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.

I recently bought an iPod Touch from the US, when I was living there. I am now in India, and my iPod seems to be frozen -- the slider won't slide. So far, I've updated my iTunes and reset and restored the Touch. Problem: no Genius bar in India. Theories?

Try the following to rule out a software problem.:

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 that short of life ake an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

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.
