My 60gb ipod (video) dispalys a "plug in" icon.

After my 60GB ipod locked up, I decided to do a total erase and reset.  Now it displays the "plug me in" icon.  When I plug it in -- using a current iphone charger, or charge it in my Sony alarm clock dock, or try charging it in the car, I still get the same "plug me in" icon -- even after days of trying to charge it.
Any advice?  Thanks in advance.

Considering the age of the device and its battery, it's like that its battery is completely shot and in need of a replacement.

  • 60GB iPod video battery issue?

    My 60GB iPod video has an issue where as soon as I remove it from its charger (plugged into an outlet), it says it does not have enough power to keep running and it shuts down. It gives off a very faint smell like something was burning from the inside, but I wouldn't have noticed it if it I hadn't lifted it up and looked at it very closely. I've been charging it for about four days now, and occasionally I would pull it out to see if it was still having the same issue. Sure enough it was, and strangely, when I plugged it back in, all of the settings would be reset (namely the time would refer back to 12:00AM). All of my files are still there, but when I plugged it into the computer, it would give the little loading circle and say "Please wait. Very low batter." The computer reads the device but not even as a hard drive (which I set it too).
    Maybe the battery needs to be replaced? How do I know I can salvage my iPod?
    *Note: I haven't had the iPod for a while. It was a gift from a friend and it seems like it was pretty used to begin with. I'd give it about two to three years since it was bought. The warranty is WAY over by the way

    Yeah, an iPod is basically a small computer, with a locked down OS. If you want, my company www.dr-pod.com can replace this for you quite cheaply.

  • Help - I have two faulty 60GB iPod Videos

    Hopefully someone here can offer some guidance. I have two 60GB iPod Videos (mine and the wife's) which are both two or three years old. Both of them are playing up. Mine freezes and crashes constantly. It starts with random blocks and dots, artifacts and graphical gliches appearing on screen as I navigate (everytime the week clicks the "pattern" changes) and then it will freeze and crash. I then have to do a reboot and then when it comes back on it is okay for a while, it may even play a whole album. Then I start it out of hibernation the next day and it happens again. Apart from that it is okay and it charges, connects to iTunes, etc. I am okay with opening it up to check it out. Anyone know what I have to replace to repair it?
    My wife's iPod is something else. It had been missing for a month or so and then we found it at the back of a drawer. It was dead so I charged it, however, once it got passed the "the battery is extremely low" message and booted up proper it then froze my PC and stopped charging. My PC screen froze and only started working again when I disconnected it. I tried charging it on my laptop and the same thing happened - it froze the screen on the laptop. Finally I tried charging it through a wall plug adaptor and again it would not charge it past the low battery message. It works, but literally only for a few songs before the small charge on the battery runs out. Again, anyone know what is required to repair this problem?
    I was thinking of either buying a faulty ipod off ebay and try to salvage parts to repair one or both of the above, or just using one to repair the other.
    Any ideas?

    Have you tried restoring them to factory settings through itunes? Sounds like from your psot that you've reset them, but not restored them.
    Good luck!

  • JBL Sound Stage (I) and 60GB iPod Video

    Bought the original JBL Sound Stage to use with my iPod 3G. Now have a 60GB iPod Video. Can't seem to order an adaptor for this new iPod from JBL (their website order form replies, "You don't need an additional adaptor, use one provided in the box.")
    My new iPod is .55 thick. I do have several other adaptors for the JBL - - I believe one of the adaptors is for the 20GB 'color' iPod and the 20 GB 4G iPod, both .57 thick (just a bit thicker.) Would this adaptor be OK to use?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Will answer my own question, here (is that the ultimate in hubris, or what?!) - - got in touch with JBL, and they do recommend using the 20GB / 40GB 'color' adaptor for the new iPod 60GB 'video.'
    If you have a 30GB video iPod, however, contact JBL and they will send you an adaptor / instructions for same. . . .

  • Is 60gb iPod Video compatible with the Klipsch iFi Speaker system?

    I just got a new 60gb iPod Video and I have the Klipsch iFi system on backorder.
    Now I am a bit cconcerned that it may not be compatible.
    Anyone out there have this combination?
    How is the system working out?

    I sent an e-mail yesterday through the Klipsch Support link asking that same question.On their website it did mention that it didn't fit the smaller iPods...Nano, etc. but did support the older 'larger' iPods...20G, 40G and so on. I'm thinking it's like the universal dock situation, we may need an adapter or just be careful when we attach it, as it won't be fully supported within the cradle, but still connect..I'll keep you posted.....gary

  • 60GB iPod Video menu disappeared after update

    I just received my 60GB iPod yesterday. I downloaded the new software update from Apple and updated it. After I did that the Video option on my menu disappeared. I still have the video in itunes but it is not on my ipod anymore.
    HELP! New user and this was a main purchase reason. Thanks for any assistance.

    I have new ipod video and had issues so I used the updater that was included, dated 6/05, I now have a ipod video with software version 1.2 and it thinks it is an older ipod photo only. Now that it is installed in the ipod the updater assumes it is an older ipod and restore doesn't work (except to restore it to version 1.2) I am so frustrated I could scream. Apparently the new updater 10-05 is ok, as it would have restored to the correct software but now, it's too late! any ideas? What I need is a restore function that puts back in the version 1.0 software for the ipod video, but there is no such thing.

  • 60GB ipod video problems

    Hi All,
    I just boughts my 60gb ipod this weekend. yay! I seem to have the 60gb ipod 1.1 update video hanging/freezing, then comes back with no audio after several seconds problem that everyone is posting all over the web about. It is happening on most any large video file I put on it.
    The fix seems to be to backdate the ipod software version to 1.0, but I can't find it on my software CD. Does anyone know where to get it from, or another solution?

    I have not confirmed if that download link works (from that message). If it does, you can follow the rest of those instructions or simply restore the iPod using that updater...
    Restore the iPod
    And then reload all the songs.

  • 60GB iPod Video locks up

    Anyone else having this problem?... it has happened to me on at least 4 different occasions since purchasing my new iPod a couple of weeks ago.
    There are times when I go to start up my iPod... and none of the buttons work at all.. yes... it's UNLOCKED... but none of the buttons work... forcing me to reboot the iPod. On other occasions, I hit play... and it shows the play triangle icon in the upper left corner, but no music plays nor does the time advance. On top of this... I can still navigate all of the menus without nary a hiccup. The only other element not working when this happens is the 'chirping' sound that typically is made while scrolling through menus and such.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I tried all of these options as well. I had a black 60GB iPod up until about an hour ago. I returned it to BestBuy for a full refund. I am waiting for a new shipment to come in to buy again.. definately got a defective one. If it still locks up after you fix it you've got major problem...go back to the retailer or Apple before time runs out.

  • 60GB iPod Video Having Issues

    Im not sure if this is the right board for iPod Video but if it is not, please excuse my mistake.
    But anyway I tried using my iPod Video this morning and when i turned it on it showed a big black checkmark and the phrase "OK to Disconnect" under it. Which is weird because I haven't connected it to the computer in a few weeks. Also where the checkmark is there is this little black line going through it, kinda looks like the static you would see on a TV but just a tiny line of it.
    Sorry if this is confusing, if you need me to elaborate more I will try to describe it better. But does anyone know how I can get this off my iPod Video so I can access my music again?
    Thanks in advance for any responses.

    So it now works, except for this line across the screen?
    You may want to try using the Restore button in iTunes to erase the iPod and initialize its software. Then you can set it up and re-sync it as desired. If the line is still there after that, it is probably a hardware fault.

  • Ipod video not charging- plugged in all night, screen blinks 3 symbols

    Hi,
    My video iPod is plugged in to my computer (has been all night)and the screen keeps switching eratically. The symbols it switches between are a low battery charge, a small battery with an exclamation, and the apple start up screen. I can also hear it making noises somethimes during the apple screen like it is trying to turn on and dies. What is the problem?

    Either your adapter, your cable, or your phone is defective. or there is dirt in the connector sufficient to prevent charging. Or it was plugged into an outlet that was not energized.

  • Can't get videos to 60GB iPod Video

    So a few days ago, I updated to iTunes 7.0 and Firmware 1.2. All my videos are in an MPEG-4 format, and now I can't get them to my iPod. They all used to play, but I restored it and now they won't even go on to the iPod. I've also got got it set to manage music and videos manually. I tried to use iTunes to convert it to see if that would help, but when it converts, the new file doesn't appear. And I've been looking back on other topics and it has mentioned the converter called Videora, so I checked that out, but it says it only supports Windows. So how do I get my videos to my iPod?
    Thanks in advance.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • 60GB iPod Video FROZE

    Hi,
    I've had my iPod for a few month now with recently over 3,000 songs and today I clicked to my next song on the iPod but then froze. My iPod is currently still on but stuck/froze on the same song. Does anyone have a idea of what I should do? I bought this Video iPod directly from this site. The iPod is in very good condition with no scratches. I keep it in a clear agent18 plastic cover.
    Thanks for the time.

    See this.
    How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
    It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
    If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.

  • 5G 60gb ipod video charge time

    So, my ipod charges FULLY in about 2 hours. And when I use it, it lasts MAXIMUM 16-17 hours. This sound right to everyone else out there? I previously had a 4G 20gb ipod photo and that lasted 15-16 hours easy, and took the standard 4 hours to charge all the way. Help anyone???

    usually with the usb cord to my computer, but also sometimes with the power adapter and a power adapter I use in my car. But they all seemed to work pretty standard with my old ipod.
    Plus, my ipod just started a new glitch yesterday now- it doesn't shut off when I unplug headphone or the power supply. Does it just sound like this thing's messed up or what?

  • 60GB Ipod Video, computer is very slow at transfering pictures

    Hello
    I recently purchase a new sony laptop with Vista OS. Itunes takes a long time just to transfer 6 pictures (20 min) and then the computer will eventually crash. Even if i need to copy a picture into album artwork, the computer freezes for a minute and then is back to working. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?
    I have the newest itunes version.
    Thank you

    I suggest that you also post this on a windows vista forum.
