My iPod doesn't charge when I put it in the plug or even in my computer

I have a iPod 5 and when I tried to charge it today I noticed a hour later after coming back to check on it that it was a red battery! I checked to make sure my light was on to say that it was active. It was active so I took out the charger and put it back in it charges for about a minute and then stops. I take it to my computer and put the cord in to see if anything different would happen it chargers for a minute then stops I don't know what to do I don't even know what's going on if its my iPod or my cord or my plug or even my computer?
Anything that you think can help just tell me

For some reason, since last nite, my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold

my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold..any ideas?
thanks

A Reset (in link from previous post) is not a Restore. It does not erase the iPod. A Reset is THE method to "re-boot the whole system."
The reason for the Hold switch has nothing to do with turning an iPod ON or OFF. It exists because most iPods have touch-based controls. The Hold switch is there to lock the controls, in situations when the iPod is playing music and you don't want to inadvertently touch the controls while handling the iPod.
Pressing and holding the Play/Pause button turns an iPod OFF. But I hardly ever manually turn OFF my iPod (except for my iPod shuffle). I just stop playing music and leave it alone. The display backlight goes off by itself within a few seconds, and if the controls are not touched, the iPod soon goes into the same power saving mode as turning it OFF manually.

HT3819 How come my husband's ipod doesn't register when it is connected to the computer

I originally set up iTunes with my iTouch and my husband has always been able to connect his iTouch and download music and his playlists. I dont know why, but now, the computer (iTunes) doesn't even register that his iTouch is hooked up to the computer, no can I download any new music to his device. I have tried turning on Home Sharing, and it says that I am all ready to go with that, but I still can't share with my husband's itouch.

Most computers, especially older ones, don't provide enough power to their USB ports in order to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and may charge a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off. The most efficient way to charge the iPad is via its wall charger.

So i have an iphone 4,and when i charge it it only goes up to 98% when i take the plug out,but when i put it in the plug its 100%. WHATS HAPPENING TO MY IPHONE?!

PLEASE HELP!

It's only a software indication of your battery charge. Nothing to shout or panic about. Are you following the sugggestion of running the phone flat and recharging to full once a month or so? That little readout needs occasional recalibration.

I can't connect my iPod classic to iTunes, it just doesn't react when I put the USB into the PC

hey, I have an iPod classic and it can't connect to iTunes.
I put the USB into my computer trying to add music, but it doesn't seems to react.
It DOESN'T say that it can't recognize the Ipod..
- Itunes just simpely doesn't react when I put the USB-cabel into my computer.
- when i go to the task manager the "apple device mobile" and "ipod service" is acitve in the processes
- I've tried to restart my computer (windows XP)
- update iTunes
- reinstall iTunes
- restart my apple devices mobile manager
what I think is the problem (which I can't solve) is that iTunes doen't even react to the USB
plz hlp me!
- ps it really should be able to add music to my iPod without getting help from a expert.

Hello qz0rz213,
It would seem that iTunes has encountered or developed an issue in the process of trying to sync photos to your device. The best place to start would be removing the iPod Photo Cache (thus allowing for a new version to be created).
Note: Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If the issue is not resolved by removing the iPod Photo Cache, the following article goes into further steps that can both help you determine the source of this trouble and eliminate it.
Symptoms
In certain situations, iTunes may display an alert or may be unable to sync photos to an iPod or iOS device. Examples include:
After updating iOS, iTunes displays an alert that there is not enough room to sync photos
This error appears: "The iPhone/iPod touch '[device name]' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
This article outlines steps to resolve these issues.

HT1407 what happens if the light doesn't cut on when you put it on the charger?

What happens if light light doesn't come on when you put it on the charger, but it works on the computer? What does that mean?

Some basics please, what vintage is your MBP, have you plugged anything else into the wall socket to verify that it is live? which light doesn't turn on, the charger or the MBP?
Hold the power button down for 15 seconds, wait for 2 then press it normally and see te MBP it turns on

How come the iPod Touch doesn't charge when connected to an USB extension?

I have it plug it directly into the iMac, I can't plug it into an extension cable connected to the iMac. My older iPod Touch charged just fine using the USB extender, but my new one refuses to charge unless it's directly connected to the iMac. Why would Apple change how the iPod charges? Those extension cables are useful when you need to switch out USB devices, since the ports are all in the back of the unit.

I noticed the same thing happened with my iPod touch. It wouldn't charge on my iMac but when I connected it to my Macbook it started up right away. The difference being, I think, is not the computers but the usb hubs. The one on my Macbook has its own power supply where as the one on my iMac doesn't. Try that. Maybe the usb hub just needs to have its own power supply in order for the iPod touch to charge. So if that's the case then the usb extension cable probably won't work at all.

HT1476 My ipod touch only charges when im not using it, when i use it, it doesnt bring up the charging symbol

My ipod touch only charges when its not in use and doesn't come up with the charging symbol. Please help cheers

First try another charging source. Maybe the source yo are using is not putting out enough pwere when the screen is on.
Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%, and now it won't turn on.

My phone turned its self off for about 10 minutes, when it came back on it went from 84% to 18%. When I put in on the charger it shows the plug symbol as if its fully charged but the phone stays at 18%. Over time the battery dropped, but it went from 18, to 9, 3, then 1, and every time I put it on the charger it doesn't actually charge. Now my phone is off and it will not turn on.

I'd suggest taking it to apple. Warranty or no warranty.

See the not-charging topic of:

Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen.

Hi! My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery" on its screen. I tried with different chargers, still dead! What's weirder is that my sister who has iPhone 4 experienced the same today! No we don't live in the same house!! Does anyone have the same problem?

On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best."
My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

My iPod Shuffle (4th Generation) flashes red when I put it in the USB drive. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Earlier today, I tried to use my shuffle, but for some reason, not only did it not play music, it gave a tri-tone. When I put it into the USB of my computer, the light flashed red for a moment then stopped. My iPod does not show up on iTunes nor My Computer. Can someone tell me what is wrong and how to fix this?

iPads don't get enough power from some USB ports to charge. It will charge, but very very slowly. Use the adapter in a wall outlet for best performance.
