Monochrome non-animated version of the battery icon?

So, basically my nano is experiencing this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302420
but it says about 30 mins, and I've had mine charging for a couple hours now. I still cant turn it on, and I've reset it already, and saw the apple sign.
Advise Anyone? I cant find anything else on the website. Much thanks to anyone who knows what's up.

Try these.

Ipod displaying a monochrome non-animated version of the battery icon...

I think my ipod's battery is depleted and when i connect it to the USB port in my computer, it shows a monochrome non-animated version of the battery icon...the troubleshooter says that the ipod will turn on in abt 30 minutes...however i have waited for abt 3 hours and still the battery icon is there...and also after sumtime the apple logo appears on the screen for and then the ipod switches off...the logo appears for abt 5 times before displayin the monochrome non-animated version of the battery icon again...and it keeps repeating and the ipod wont turn on...can any 1 pls help?

I encountered this problem several times, too. The b/w logo appears because the battery is deeply discharged. In my cause, it is replaced by the normal screen after some minutes (after the battery was charged a bit).
Did you connect your iPod to "high-powered" USB?

The charging signal is flashing on the battery icon !

I have an HP pavilion ,windows 7 ultimate . At the lowest of the screen on the battery icon the charger icon is coming and hiding ,coming and hiding fast. It is flashing. I am using a new charger about 3 months ago . And the battery is changed about 4 months ago.
P.S: my laptop is lagging and freezing ,it needs a format . Can this have any relation to this problem ??? Please help

Are you by any chance using iTunes 7.0.2 and firmware version 1.2?
If you are then I would surmise that you are the victim of a bug in the firmware (if you look at the forum there are thousands of people with the same issue)
Unfortunately for us users Apple appear to be burying their head in the sand on this one because there has been no official recognition of the problem, meanwhile people are continuing to download the firmware, oblivious to the fact that this will render their precious and much loved iPods completely useless.
This is clearly a completely cynical policy by Apple because they know that publicly admitting the problem would seriously harm their sales in the busy Christmas period.......POOR SHOW APPLE!!! THIS WILL HARM YOU MUCH MORE IN THE LONG TERM.
Fear not though, they will not be able to hide it for long because I know that the BBC are investigating this.

My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this?

My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this? I have restarted my computer multiple times, **** it down, and ran a diagnostic test to tell me nothing is wrong and my computer is not running any applications. There is no reason for the fan to be on full blast! when I try to set the option to show my battery icon in the menu bar, it will automatically uncheck. How do I fix all of this?

Have you tried SMC and PRAM resets?

How do i change the battery icon to a percentage icon

how do i change the battery icon to a percentage icon

Settings -> General -> Usage -> Battery Percentage (ON)

I got a replacement battery but I'm seeing an 'x' in the battery icon...

I got the battery from Laptop Battery One b/c my last battery was lasting 8-10 minutes. I charged the battery and made sure to try to get it charged up and used down through many cycles to help the battery get up to full speed. Today, I unplugged the power cord and the battery icon is not showing % or time left, it simply is transparent with an 'x' in it. And the laptop is still working although if I step away and the battery goes into energy saving mode, it won't wake up until I plug the cord back in and tap it.
what does that x mean and what should I do? I can't imagine this is normal.
Thanks!
Bernice

I looked at Laptop Battery One's website, and it looks like they make their own batteries, rather than selling Apple-brand batteries. Is this correct?
Also, with modern batteries, you should not cycle the power like that. It is not neccessary to fully charge and fully discharge the battery, and this will probably do more harm than any percieved good. Ideal battery use is something like you take your laptop to work and discharge some power each day, and then charge it back up at night. Basically, just keep the power moving. Don't leave it plugged in all the time (any Mac should automatically discharge about 5% and then recharge to help stay healthy when plugged in for long periods). NEVER fully discharge it if you can avoid it.
SO ANYWAY.... resetting the SMC may help:
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

I just bought a new battery for my MacBook but when I click on the battery icon it is says no battery available. Why?

I bought a new battery for my MacBook today. I put it into my computer, but when I click on my battery icon it says no battery availble. I would like to know why?

Hi....
Try restarting your Mac ...
"Keep in mind that once the new battery is inserted, you will need to press the power button to start up the computer."
From here > MacBook Pro: How to remove or install the battery
If it restarts ok the battery icon should be available from the status menu bar.

penny41,
Thanks, glad it helped you to check your battery status.
Something else to look at would be the cycle count, as you mention that your computer is "ancient". If you have a high number of cycles, it may also be a sign that the battery is tired and possibly nearing it's life span, and may possibly need to be replaced soon. If you see that again you may try a SMC reset to see if that helps, but if it continues you may need a new battery at some point. The battery icon will usually say needs service, or something to that effect. For the later MBP's Apple claims a life span of up to 1000 cycles, of this also will be dependent on who the battery is used, on the older ones I'm not quite sure what the claims were, and I don't know how old "ancient" in your case actually means.
I provide this for your info, so that you understand what may possibly be occurring.
I wish you the best.
SMC reset:
Follow directions for what applies to your machine, a battery you can remove, or a battery you should not remove yourself.

X in the battery ICON of my battery.

I am having a problem where instead of the charge indicator appearing in the right hand corner of the battery icon, an X is being shown...Also, my battery is not fully charging and will only last on its' own for about 30 min...I know something is wrong...Does anyone know what the X represents and if there is way to solve this problem manually or if I need to take my MacBook into a service center for the 3rd time in the last 6 months...I thought that Macs were supposed to be more reliable...Glad I bought the 3 year warranty I guess...I can't believe that Mac would allow such a faulty product to be released into the public, especially in College campuses where I use this piece of machinery to take notes with day in and day out.

The X indicates that connection to the battery has been lost. Could be either a bad battery, bad connector or even a problem with the logic board.
Sometimes resetting the SMC will fix this:

When will the color of the battery icon in the top bar will become red?

What is the percentage of battery life at which the color of the battery icon in the top bar will become red? 20% or 10%?

it is not a good idea to drain you macbook all the way down to see when it turns red. if it ever does - i've never seen mine red when it's down to 10%.
if you follow some of the threads here - some people who drained their battery all the way down to 0% can't turn their macbook back on.
From Apple's website:
Standard Maintenance
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time. An ideal use would be a commuter who uses her notebook on the train, then plugs it in at the office to charge. This keeps the battery juices flowing. If on the other hand, you use a desktop computer at work, and save a notebook for infrequent travel, Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month. Need a reminder? Add an event to your desktop’s iCal. When your battery no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs, you may choose to replace it. If your notebook came with a built-in battery, you should have the battery replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

TS1382 My I-Pod will not accept a charge. The battery icon I normally see while charging is not visible on the screen. The cord works fine to charge my I-Pad.

My I-Pod will not accept a charge. The battery icon I normally see while charging is not visible. The cord works when charging my I-Pad. Any ideas?

Please find "System Information" in this folder path---Applications > Utilities---and launch it. When it opens, find "Power" in the left-hand contents pane and click it to get something like this in teh main pane:
Copy everything in the "Battery Information" and copy/paste it here. The number values in that report may help us diagnose what is happening.
Also, did you buy this battery directly from Apple or from another source. There are an increasing number of reports showing up that suggests some counterfeit batteries being sold.
