My iPod 5th generation charges way too fast.
I bought my iPod Touch 5th generation about a year ago. And I updated to iOS 7 when it came out. I am currently on iOS 7.1.1. Earlier my iPod was at 4%. I plugged it in and checked ten minutes later. It was already at 100%. The iPod drains battery at a normal speed. I'm not complaining or anything. I just want to know why this is like this.
Some other uesers have reported the same. iOS 7 does charge the battery faster.

There is green mold/corrosion on my iPod 5th Generation charger.
There is green mold/corrosion on my iPod 5th Generation charger, how can I remove this safely ?
Hey Nikki, An iPod classic with iOS 8?!? OK, When you say "Charger" are you talking about the cable or the device that converts the 120 volt power from the wall to something that your iPod can handle? If you mean the cable, replace it, the green gunk is copper oxidation, corrosion. Moisture has gotten in the cable and is causing the cable to fail, replacement is the only thing that will work for certain. If within one year of purchase may be covered under warranty, you could get a free replacement from Apple. If it is just the tip of the cable wipe it off with a tissue and some alcohol. If your talking about the charging port on your iPod or the USB port on the other end, There are cleaning kits, you can purchase, which come with little brushes and pads and a cleaner solution to remove the corrosion. Just follow the instructions to the letter! Otherwise you can try this get bottle of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) 91% and several cotton swabs. You may need to cut / trim the swabs to fit the port openings. Turn your iPod and/or the charging device off. Apply 1 maybe 2 drops of alcohol to the swab, you want it damp, NOT wet! If you get it too wet use a tissue to dry the excess alcohol off the swab. Then insert the swab in and out as if you were plugging it in and out, do not sweep side to side, you risk damaging the contact pins inside the port. Bend or break one and you'll have a real and expensive mess. after 4 or 5 in / out motions, varying the position of the swab from right to left, change swabs, dampen a fresh swab and continue until the swab come out clean. Or take it to Apple or an electronics service shop and let them clean it. When done allow the port to dry a few minutes before turning your iPod on. Good luck, Cheers.

My ipod 5th generation charges when connected to my PC but not recognised in itunes with windows 8.1
Why is my ipod 5th generation not recognised in itunes in windows 8.1?Connection to my PC only charges the battery.
Did this iPod previously work with this computer (running Windows 8.1), and does not now for some reason? Or is this the first time (or the first time with Windows 8.1)?
The fact that only the battery charging symbol appears on the iPod screen seems to indicate that the iPod does not recognize a data connection. It's like you are connecting the iPod to USB (wall) power adapter. It is likely that the Windows system also does not see the iPod as a connected device; you should confirm by looking at Device Manager.
You should rule out a faulty USB docking cable. The dock connector has separate connection points for power and data, so it is possible for it to connect to charge the battery but not connect for data. So, if possible, try another docking cable, or try the cable you have with another Apple device.
You should rule out a problem on the USB port. If you connect something else to the same port, does it work properly? Preferably, you should use something similar, like a USB flash drive or port-powered external drive, and try copying over some large files.
If the USB port and docking cable are OK, the cause is more likely to be on the iPod (such as a dock connector that is worn out from use). -
My iPod 5th generation, The charger doesn't work but it says it's charging. When I use another person's charger, the iPod charges fine. Has anyone had this problem?
Yes, the Lightning cables do fail sometimes. They are covered by the same one-year warranty as the iPod

My iPod 5th Generation charger just stopped working??
Both my mother and I have iPod 5's and we've only had them maybe 6 months. I've never had any problems with the charger I have which is the white regular one that came with the iPod when I bought it. Today, when I got home from school, I tried to charge my iPod, but it simply wouldn't charge with the wall adapter. I then tried to plug it in to the computer and it still wouldn't work. I then thought it was the charger, so I tried my spare charger, yet it refused to work as well. I also tried it on my mothers iPod and it would not work either. The cables are not broken, I have just used them today. Also we thought it could have been the wall adapter and we used the standard white one by Apple, yet when we plugged it into the wall it said it was not compatible. I don't understand why they would just stop working out of nowhere, when nothing has been done to render them from working.

Ipod 5th Generation charge icon not displaying when in hi-speed usb port
Interesting dilema. Charge icon displays when Ipod first connected, when updating, but as soon as it has finished does not show battery charge icon (lightning bolt)? Therefore I can only assume it is not. This is with battery showing 1/2 full. USB is hi-speed according to PC manufacturers info. Can anyone help?
I am having the same problem. I just purchased an 80GB ipod. I only get the lightening bolt when my ipod is syncing with iTunes. My battery indicator shows half full. How do You know if the battery is charging?

IPod 5th generation recognized in iTunes but won't charge
Hello Apple Support Community,
I'm writing this on behalf of my girlfriend, who is having problems with her iPod, I tried searching google and the forums here but I couldn't find a satisfactory answer.
Basically what happens is this:
iPod gets plugged in and shows the "do not disconnect" screen and starts charging (what comes next kind of happens simultaneously) not long after that, I'd say a minute at most, the normal menu screen comes up and the lightning symbol on the battery disappears, iTunes recognizes the device and allows you to browse the files and it gives the option to sync but we haven't done that yet (the laptop we're trying to charge it off is new and has an empty iTunes library) and we don't want to lose the data on the iPod. It works fine on other computers, i.e. she can charge it with no problem from her desktop PC and as far as i know any other PC/laptop available to us
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong and how to solve it?
Technical details:
iPod 5th generation, 60gb
Laptop brand: Samsung
OS: Windows 8
USB status: Ports all work and from what I can tell they're all 500mA
Tried:
Switching USB ports, none seem to make it charge
Resetting iPod
We don't have extra cables so we can't try switching them and we haven't tried restoring the iPod yet since we don't want to lose data.
If you need more info, let me know
Thank you very much for your time!Hello,
The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
<a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
Have you checked this link out?:
<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
If not...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!

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

- 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.

Ipod 5th generation started loosing its battery really fast and now it wont even turn on.
My iPod 5th generation is just over a year old and its screen is a bit cracked. a couple of months ago it started to keep its battery less and less and it would go to 100% battery after a couple of minutes and then when unplugged it would die just as quickly. For the past week or so I've had to use it plugged in as it was barely keeping any charge (1 minute) at the most.Last night I was using it and i unplugged it and put it on the shelf i presumed it would be okay through the night as i wasn't using it. But when i woke up it wasn't turning on at all and so i plugged it into the charger. The apple symbol came up for about a minute and then the screen went blank. I thought I'd leave it plugged in to see what would happen but it kept repeating the symbol to blankscreen process. If anyone knows whats wrong with it or how to fix it please tell me. as it took me a long time to save up for it and its a big loss of money for me.

I suspect that the event that caused the screen problem as progressed and is causing the other problems. -
whenever i charge my ipod 5th generation,i find myself moving the charger around for about 5minutes,the first few months the charger has worked fine now it is playing up,turning on and off charge?
I would make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. The warranty covers manufacturer's defects. Unfortuantely, if you inadvertantly cause some damage in your wiggling, it could be determined that you broke the port - regardless if it was malfunctioning before or not. Have them look at it and see what they say.

my ipod 5th generation won't turn on or charge and i can't hold in both the button to charge it because the hoe button is broken, what can i do to fix it?
You are going to have to take it to the Apple Store to see if they can do anything for you. The Home button is critical for using your device. You need to get it fixed.
Cheers,
