IPod will not work unless plugged into USB iPod 4th Generation

I have just bought my first iPod and I cannot get it to work unless it is plugged into the computer. The battery says that it's charged but as soon as I unplug it from the computer I can't get it to turn on. Has anyone else had this problem. I am using plugs that I got when I purchased the iPod.

I had a similar issue. When I got my 16GB 4th Gen Nano, unless it was plugged into the USB port of my Mac, it would continually reboot. I might be able to get 2-3 clicks in while navigating the menua, but it would always reboot. If it was plugged in, worked great. I returned it and the new seems to be fine (other than Coverflow issues).

Nano will not work unless plugged in

Hello.
I have searched through the help section and through the forums, but I can not seem to crack this problem.
My inlaws told me there iPod nano would not work anymore. They simply told me that they could not get it to come on. I thought I could fix it rather easy. Turns out that it isn't that easy.
The nano will only work when I have it plugged up. It says it is fully charged. When I unplug the nano, the screen dims out for a second and then goes to gray as if it were off. I can not get it to come back on however. When it is plugged in, I can navigate through the nano as if there are no problems. As soon as it is unplugged however it acts dead.
Any suggestions? I've tried resetting. Doesn't work unless plugged in...and didn't solve the problem. I've done the five r's. No problems with the hold button...
I am lost on this one guys.

I would say that it's a dud battery.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

When i have my ipod pluged into my computer, so it can charge it will come on like it is suposed to. But when i unplug it or eject it i can't get it to turn back on, none of the buttons work. Can anyone help me out

If you cannot find a solution in the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual or Apple's Knowledge Base - http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search, it's time to call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)

My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
If that doesn't work...
Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

You do not have insurance.
You do have a one year warranty on workmanship and materials.
Call Apple and set up an appointment to have them look at it.
They should fix it ot replace it for you.

MBP shutsdown, 80% batt life. Will not restart unless plugged in.

My 13" MBP shuts down without warning. Battery is good charge remaining 4615 mAh, full charge at 5317 mAh.
Once laptop shuts down it will not restart unless plugged into charger. Once restarted it can be removed from charger and operated normally for some time.

MacBook 2009 symptoms:
MacBook switches off with no warning when the power adapter was removed.
MacBook switches off with no warning when booting up with power adapter removed.
After dealing with the problem for almost two years and searching the internet from time to time for several days I still found no solution.
Tried resetting SMC, PRAM, and many things more…
coconutBattery showed my battery in good health, now running fine for about an hour without shutting down, no power adapter connected.
Load Cycles: 84 (I almost never used the MacBook without power adapter and thought it could be the reason for the shutdowns, I never calibrated the battery)
Battery Status : Good
My solution found by accident today fiddling around with the Energy Saver Preferences Pane/Battery settings. I don't know, if all the changes I made are necessary, or just one changed setting. What I did:
1. Set Computer sleep to "Never"
2. Set Display sleep to "Never" (ignoring the warning for shorter display life)
3. Unchecked "Put hard disk to sleep when possible"
4. Unchecked "Slightly dim the display while on battery power"
Maybe someone tries all changes separately and finds the real culprit…

My Ipod will not work anymore its just the apple showing could you please help me restart?

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 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.

Older ipod will not work under itunes11

My older ipods will not work under itunes 11, Who can help?

i think at this point we are unsure if the problem is that apple has once again decided to leave something older in the dust (as they've been doing a LOT lately) or that you've found a bug in itunes 11 that will be addressed at a later date. just how old are these ipods? if they were mine and i had to choose between itunes 11 and my ipods i would choose my ipods. right now i would look around the itunes forums and see if anyone else has this problem.

Macbook air not working unless plugged in?

I have a mid 2011 macbook air and it has had an issue of not working unless it was plugged in but mainly only working for a short about of time and then turning off suddenly and not turning back on unless pluged in or decreasing in power extremely and abnormally quickly. It happend a few times last year and twice i took it to a specialist specified by apple and twice i took it home with them having done nothing to it. They stated that there was nothing that the diognostics could see that was wrong with it. Eventually it fixed the problem itself and worked fine. just as long as i never ran it flat it worked fine. untill the other month i did that and now it will not work at all without being pluged into a power source. it has been plugged in all day whilst i have been using it and has not reach 100 per cent of power, it will not pass 98%. If the power cord accidentally falls out it turns of straight away, doesnt shut down just abruptly powers off. Never before has it been this bad. I have noticed it has also in this time it hasnt been working again its also been running noticably slower than usual. But that may just be me being parnoid. Im sick of taking it to get fixed only for them to tell me there is nothing wrong, because evidently there is. What options do i have? i just seriously need it fixed.

Your charger might be bad. If you have access to another charger, then try that one. If you dont have access, either find someone who does, or go to the Apple Store and purchase a new one. If the computer is still under warranty, take the computer AND the adapter and have them looked at.

Ipod will not work off charger

My ipod works fine while on the charger but when off it just will not work, I have to let it sit 2 days for it to work again on the charger so what is it

I just got help from the Apple Support on this. This just happened to me and thought I would share the solution. Hope you have saved all your iPod data because you have to restore all data.
Step 1: Toggle the on/off hold switch and then restart (center and menu together) until the screen goes blank.
Step 2: Immediately, while the screen is blank, hold the center and pause/play. That turns the iPod in disk mode.
Step 3: Plug in your iPod into your computer to restore it.
Problem solved...

IPod will not work with docking stations

My 5th gen iPod works fine except it will not work with docking stations. I can sync it with my computer and it plays fine, just won't work with docking stations and other accessories like the Belkin FM radio converter. I bought a iMode boom box and it does not work properly with my iPod.
Any ideas??

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

I started working for ChaCha, and now firefox will not work unless I manually close it in the process tree every time I want to use it. I also cannot open more than 1 page at a time.

I started working for ChaCha 11/26/2010, I had to download a program to take incoming questions.
Ever since then, Firefox will not work correctly, even if I am totally logged out of ChaCha, and the page is closed, if I try to open my browser using Firefox, it will not open, I have to go into the processor tree and manually end Firefox, then it will work, but it will only let me open 1 page at a time. For example I have Firefox open now, but if I go and click on the icon to open it in a new browser, it will not open, I either have to close this, or use IE-I HATE IE lol.
I cannot use the ChaCha add on you have because it is not for the new version of Firefox, please help, I love Firefox, but not being able to open more than one window/page at a time does not cut it, nor does having to manually stop it from processing. I have tried re-installing it too.
Thank you, Melinda

I should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.
