IPod Video 80GB shows "Low Battery, Please Wait" but when plugged into wall, works fine.

I have an iPod Video 80GB and it worked perfectly fine until now....when it is plugged into my computer (all ports attempted), it shows "Low Battery, Please Wait" and then when I plug it into the wall, it reboots, shows the normal silver apple, and everything is all fine. The iPod is dependent off of a power source, as it cannot function right now without one.

That's usually a good indication that the iPod's battery is shot an in need of a replacement especially considering it's from an iPod Video, which have been out for a number of years now.  You can pay Apple to have it replaced or you can send it in to a third party repair center for a bit less.

  • Ipod Video 80gb with click wheel has sound, but no audio

    My ipod video 80gb with click wheel has sound, but no audio.  I can hear the clicking of the wheel and selections made through the headphones, but I cannot get music, video, etc. to play audio.  I did the 5 R's and installed a new headphone jack prior to posting here.  I am all out of ideas and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you connect it to an iPod Dock Stereo to check if there is music, coming out, if not the Hard Reset would solve your problem or else the Audio chip has called it a day.
    I know you mentioned doing the 5Rs, but did you see the Apple Logo and the language prompt? Sorry, most of the users here, doesn't do the Hard Reset correctly.
    Try the iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then release the button
    Select your preferred language.
    This wont delete or erase any song/data on your iPod Classic.
    See this Apple Support Article on 5Rs

    Good Luck!

    It sounds very very much like the battery. You will need to have it replaced. If you put the failing one in yourself you will need to pay as your Warranty is now void.

  • How to recover music? iPod only works when plugged into wall outlet

    My iPod is probably 5 years old or so. It's been acting up for a while and I stupidly, did not back it up.
    The battery was replaced this weekend so it works when plugged into the wall. It will not power on or do anything when not plugged into the wall. When plugged into the wall charger, it can turn on and says it is charging. It can be used then but as soon as it is unplugged, it's dead.
    When it is plugged into the computer, it says "Charging. Please wait...". There isn't enough power from my laptop to power the iPod, so my computer doesn't even recognize it. It does not show up in iTunes.
    On the brightside, I have a new iPod classic waiting to be used. However, I would VERY much like to get my 90gb+ off of my old iPod first. Is there a way to do this? 
    I'm at a loss. Some of the files are on there are not anywhere else. I have a few songs by a friend who lost them on their own computer.
    Any help would be very appreciated!

    Bump. Is there no way to solve this?

  • Tethering drains battery to empty even when plugged into the wall socket

    Twice yesterday when tethering for a few hours my phone shut down with a flat battery even though it was plugged into a wall socket and the charging indicator was on. Can tethering use more power than the charger can supply? After shutting down the laptop, the phone charged normally.

    Yes, tethering (especially via Bluetooth) can use more power than the charger can provide. That's also true of GPS navigation when connected to a car charger. In both cases, having the iPhone plugged in certainly helps, but those activities will use more power than the 5 Watts provided by the power adapter (2.5 Watts if connected to the computer's USB port), and thus drain the battery despite being connected to a power source.

  • HT1483 my iPod is not responding. It is giving a message low battery, please wait and is displaying the apple support link

    my ipod is not responding. It is giving a message pleases wait low battery and showing me a link to apple support 

    Hey,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Well leave it for few minutes then try plugging it to the charger, if that does not work. Try restoring it from revious backup. This will change the software and hopefully earase the error. If that did not fix it i guess you need to take it to the Store for a check.
    I really hope this helps you. Let me know if it does. If not feel free to give me a shout. Best of luck.

  • Very Low Battery Please Wait

    This shows up after a while on the iPod and then it dies.This happens while it is charging on my computer. Why is this how can it be fixed?Thanks.

    Which computer do you use? Mac, Windows, laptop, desktop?
    And where is the port you are plugging into located? Main USB port on the computer itself, USB hub, keyboard port, etc.?

  • I have an itouch 4th gen and its stuck on the low battery screen. I charged for the entire night and it still displays the low battery image. I tried plugging into my computer and restore it but it says error. Also, my computer cant even recognize it

    So it's stuck in the low battery screen and it cant turn on.
    My computer cant recognize my device and restoring couldnt work.
    Tried holding the home button and the turn on/off button, didnt work.

    Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.  If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.
    Suggest that you take full advantage of the above.

  • My iphone 5 won't turn on but when plugged into power source it keeps showing apple logo?

    My iPhone 5 won't turn on at all and then when I plug it into a power source either into a plug socket or into my laptop with the USB cable it keeps showing start up screen with apple logo over and over again on a loop.
    I have tried holding the top and front button together, this didn't work. I have also tried connecting to my laptop and following the reboot steps that I found on another discussion forum. Neither worked for me. The phone just won't reboot and it keeps continuing to loop the apple logo screen over and over without me touching anything.
    The iPhone won't even connect to itunes and so itunes seems to not recognise my phone because its not even turning on (just continually apple logo screen appears for 5 seconds, goes to black screen and then repeats).
    I don't know what is happening to it! Can anyone help? Is it a fault with the hardware or have I dont something to it? The next appointment at the genius bar for me is monday so I'm going to keep looking for any more recent ones until then but I really need to get it sorted before then so if anyone can help that would be great!
    Thanks

    Try a reset when your iPhone is plugged into the charger as you say it does not respond when not plugged in...
    Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release.  This may take up to 10 seconds.  This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
    See if it will charge after this.

  • My ipod touch 5th gen will not charge when connected to pc. works when plugged into wall

    I just got my 5th gen ipod today, and when i plug it into my pc (and my roommate's) they make the sound as if something is connected, but my ipod does not charge. When I plug it into my wall charger, it works fine. I've tried multiple cables, and multiple PCs, but it makes no difference. The weirdest thing though, is when I restart my computer, when it is about to close windows, it starts charging for a few seconds, then turns back off. This is so confusing. Any ideas?

    Sounds like the computer's USB ports do not provide enough current to charge the iPod when the screen is on. I would connect a partially discharged iPod to the computer for a couple of hours and see it it is charged.

  • Upgraded my iPad with the iOS 8.3 software.  This morning, the iPad has low battery, even though it was plugged into the power source.  It's now plugged in, but I don't think it's charging. I have a black screen and nothing else! Any thoughts? Thanks

    My iPad was upgraded to iOS 8.3 software while plugged in.  This morning, the battery is almost dead, and I have a black screen.  Not sure the iPad is even charging! Any thoughts on what to do? Thanks.

    The update is iOS 8.1.3 not iOS 8.3.
    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • ITouch has a black screen as if it's off but when plugged into the computer it says it's on. I have to wait until the battery dies to charge it and turn it back on.

    I've tried restarting it. When the battery finally dies and I get to turn it back on, it works for a while until it freezes, then I click the power button to put it on standby and then the screen won't turn back on but the computer says it's still on. However, the computer won't detect the device.

    When this happens hold the HOME and SLEEP button at the same time for about 10 seconds until an Apple logo appears. If that works we still need to find out why it is locking up.

  • Ipod says needs to be restored, but when plugged into pc, goes straight to disk mode

    so this is my friend's ipod classic [[used to be mine]] and it dropped and hit the ground from like a few inches, apparently. when it's not plugged in and i turn it on, it gives the ipod needs to be restored screen. I plug it into my computer and it goes straight into disk mode. i can 'eject' the 'disk' and then it shows up in itunes, and i go through the motions to restore the device. only, once it starts restoring, i get error 1439 and it boots out. If I reset the ipof [[menu and center buttons]] it just goes back to disk mode.... help! i really wanna fix it....
    i've tried: reseting ipod, plugging ipod into a different usb port, updating itunes....

    I think that impact has jarred your Hardisk.
    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix you problem, but help in troubleshooting.

  • IPod Touch not recognized by iTunes and not charging when plugged into computer

    I plugged in my iPod touch to my Mac computer. My iPod doesn't charge and iTunes isn't recognizing it. I have turned my iPod on/off, I have reset it, I have the newest version of iTunes, and I restarted my computer. Nothing has helped. What do I do?

    Did it sync to the computer before?
    What model iPod do you have and what iOS is installed?
    Your post states that your have OSX 10.4.11. If you updated the iOS on your iPod on another computer your computer may not recognize the iPod.  The newer iOS require 10.5.8 or higher.
