My ipod charges but won't tell me when it is!

My ipod charges fine, but it all of a sudden just stopped telling me when it was charging, i plug it in and the screen turns itself off instead of changing to the screen that has the picture of the battery and how full it is, it also does not show up on the corner battery picture that doesnt change either. what do i do? how do i fix it?

Did you already try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new apps of software.
If this does not help, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:

  • ITunes won't recognize iPod, iPod charges but won't play

    When I connect my nano, it goes to the Do Not Disconnect screen, but my iTunes does not recognize the nano, so I can't update songs/playlists. It charges, but when I try to play - after I select a song - it goes to that song, but doesn't play and then skips to the next song and the next and the next and nothing plays. I reset the nano and reinstalled iTunes but problem still exists. Any thoughts? Thanks!

  • I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

    I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

    Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

  • Have been trying to cancel and refund my iCloud upgrade am going round in circles apple says you can cancel within 14 days but won't tell you how help!!

    Have been trying to cancel and refund my iCloud upgrade am going round in circles apple says you can cancel within 14 days but won't tell you how help!!

    You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade but only within 15 days of buying:
    Apple seem to have made this as difficult as possible. You may be able to do this using http://expresslane.apple.com - Click on 'More products and services', then 'iCloud', 'Account and setup' then 'This topic is not listed'. Explain the situation in the box provided and wait for a response - include a phone number. However you may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare.
    In that event you will need to phone them directly, using the Apple Online Store number given at the bottom of this page. The first person you speak to may tell you to do it from the iCloud website but this is not possible. Politely insist on escalating the issue to a more senior person and eventually you should be able to get through to someone who can deal with this (you may have to wait for them to call you back) - you will be asked security questions and for part of your credit card number to identify yourself.
    If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see

  • I put my iPod charging, but it wont charge. The Apple logo appears on the screen for five seconds and then it goes off again. Afterwards, it does it again and again and again. I can leave it 1 hour or day charging and it will be doing this the whole time.

    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.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                              
    and
    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My MacBook Pro has a faint blinking orange light on the charger but won't turn on, I've tried many different things to restart it but nothing works

    My MacBook Pro has a faint blinking orange light on the charger but won't turn on, I've tried many different things to restart it but nothing works

    The battery's probably drained and the power brick on the fritz. Unfortunately, if she won't start there's little we can do for software-based diagnosis. You'll have to take it in to a Store or Service Provider for assessment.

  • ITunes updates podcasts each hour but won't refresh. When I sync my iPhone, it gets yesterdays podcasts and I have to manually hit refresh to make it update. How can I make it automatically refresh?

    iTunes updates podcasts each hour but won't refresh. When I sync my iPhone, it gets yesterdays podcasts and I have to manually hit refresh to make it update. How can I make it automatically refresh?

    I think figured out what is going on here... If you have set your Windows OS time manually, Apple iTunes will not honor the time you set in Windows XP...
    In my case, I had not applied the Windows update that changes the Daylight savings rules. No big deal I thought... I can easily correct the time manually. Well... iTunes will not like it if you do that. You have to have your daylight savings rules set correctly on the PC. Microsoft has a free program called TZEdit that will let you adjust the DST boundaries.
    Once I set the rules correctly and then set my time keeping back to "Automatic" it fixed it. Hope this helps...

  • I upgraded to 4.3.3 and now my iPod touch music won't shuffle. When I press shuffle it keeps replaying the same song over and over.

    I upgraded to 4.3.3 and now my iPod touch music won't shuffle. When I press shuffle it keeps replaying the same song over and over.

    There are two arrows below the time a song is plays. One is circular (repeat) and the other has two arrows crossing each other (?). The one going circular needs to be pressed to turned it off.

  • IPod cord charges, but won't show in iTunes.

    I'm having a really weird problem with my iPod. I'm not sure if the cord is broken or the data terminal on the iPod is. When I plug my iPod into my computer it doesn't charge or show up in iTunes, but if I push at the cord upwards it'll charge, but never show in iTunes. If I push at it and hold it up it'll show in iTunes and charge as well. This happened suddenly. I never dropped the iPod nor had the cord bent at a strange angle before this. Tell me what I should do?

  • IPod battery charged but won't play

    Has anyone experienced this problem? My iPod shows as charged but as soon as it is placed in use, the battery seems to lose its charge immediately. If I place it on the charger, within seconds it shows the battery as charged again. Would this just be a bad battery or something else? Thanks.

    At first glance, that appears to be a symptom of a bad battery.

  • IPod charges, but doesn't show up as a drive, nor does it show up in iTunes or the Device Manager.

    I was given in iPod Touch 8GB (used) for my birthday on the 8th, but I still haven't been able to get any use out of it it. When I plug it into the laptop it charges, but it isn't recognized as a drive, doesn't show up in the Device Manager, and is not recognized by iTunes. I've tried plugging it into a different computer, using a different cord, re-installing drivers, re-installing iTunes - everything! It's also stuck in recovery mode, and I can't do anything to get it out. I've tried restarting it, but it goes right back into recovery mode, telling me to connect it to iTunes. It's driving me batty! If anyone can tell me how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! c:

    My ipod 5th gen won't let me adjust volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can adjust the volume on the speaker.  How do I fix this?

    Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
