Ipod will turn on but cut off saying it needs to charge

2nd generation Itouch. When plugged in will power on to charge and after a minute or two will show load screen then cut off. Repeats that whole process again! What can I do to fix it?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset
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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes.  Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up    
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store    

  • My iPod will turn on, but will not work at all. (please help)

    ok i know about ipods, and this issue is not something that i have come across. when i plug in my ipod to my pc a screen shows on my ipod saying "do nto disconnect" i dont, i want until it is loaded. then the folder with a "!" pops up, and i read on www.apple.com that i am supposed to try the 5 w's, and i have tryed all 5 w's 3 times each. nothing works, nothing. when i click start and click all programs and go to ipod then i click ipod updater i cannot restore my ipod because a message pops up saying "The attached iPod model is not supported by this application." someone please help me.

    Download and install the newest software if you have not already done so. See my post above for the links. After you have done this, try putting the iPod into disk mode and restoring.

    PS- What do you mean when you say it will not allow you to right click on it? FYI- Sometimes when there's something going on with your iPod's hard drive, it takes a really long time for the computer to respond to commands for it. So, if you're right clicking and then getting an hourglass, please be patient. You'll get there eventually.

    Try to Reset your device. 
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

  • IPod will turn on when I charge it, but then will not turn back on later on

    The only way my iPod will turn on now is if I plug it into the computer. I thought it had to do with the charge, but when I hook it up to the computer it says that it's already fully charged. Has anyone had this problem?
    Thanks!

    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.

  • My iPod will not make sounds. It says it is playing but it doesn't. What should I do?

    My iPod will not make sounds. It says it is pplaying but it dpesn't play the music. What I mean by that is the bar to tell you how far you are in the song and how much longer you have of the song is moving but no sound is coming out. What should I do?

    What kind of iPod is this?  Have you tried a different set of headphones to see if that makes any difference?
    If no luck there, work through the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting to help eliminate any possibility of a corrupted software or data on the device.

  • I restarted my phone and now I am having problems with it. It will turn on but only goes to the black screen with the droid eye before shutting off again and trying to restart, what can I do to fix that?

    I restarted my phone and now I am having problems with it. It will turn on but only goes to the black screen with the droid eye before shutting off again and trying to restart, what can I do to fix that?

        I'm sorry to learn that your phone is having problems starting up, marinema08. I'm sorry if this is incorrect, but are you using the original HTC Droid Incredible or a later Droid Incredible model? Please try placing your phone in Safe Mode to see if you are able to move past the Droid eye. http://vz.to/1kdQWVI If you are able to enable Safe Mode, please try deleting any recent applications you have added.
