My ipod is fully charged but it dies anyway

Recently in the last week or two after fully charging my iPod on a power source (not my computer), I'll go out to use it and within 5 minutes it will say, "Low battery source. Please plug iPod into power source." I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if so what they did to fix it? I haven't even had this iPod for a year yet and so I'm wondering if this is a battery problem or something else. This happened RIGHT after I used the most recent iPod updater. Thanks for any help.

  • 80gb classic screen flashes n wont connect to computer but can play threw a docking radio. says fully charged but it dies when disconected.

    bought ipod used and screen flashes and wont lync to computer or car stereo threw cable. older classic does just fine with cable. i have a rigid work radio that has controls for ipod and the ipod plays, says its charged and i have all functions untill i disconect it from radio. then dead. i would like to save the music thats on it if possable.

    Yes, once I 'safely remove from drive' the ipod works normally I can listen to my media, change settings and even reset it by pressing MENU+center button. During resetting it goes straight onto the screen showing the Apple logo and then retuns back to automatically synchronizing with the computer (since its still plugged in to the usb port) and i can go into itunes and play my media via laptop. What type of servicing are you referring to? Should I try buying a new battery or sending it to apple so they can figure it out?
    Two things which happened yesterday which were sorta demoralizing:
    1 After unplugging my ipod from USBport the screen would automatically go black, right after I would hit the PLAY button and would get the "Connect To Power" Warning screen but under very Low Backlight before shutting itself down again. You could hardly see it, but now it doesn't pop up at all or give me any type of warning just a BLACK screen, so the only way of getting the unit to do anything is via usb connection.
    2. Also the day before I had fooled my ipod into being connected to the usb even though I was pulling the usb cable very slowly from underneath its adapter; sorta letting it touch the adapter but not really hooked up to it. Well I managed to get the cable off and my Ipod to work for less than 10 seconds but I was able to scroll down the Main and Playlist menus without any lag or lack of Backlight before it went out. I tried it once more and it didn't work plus I don;t see what the benefits of doing so would be @ this point. But having said that does anyone think it could be a simple battery issue or is this harddrive related? Again the Ipod only work swhen connected to my usb & tells me its fully charged, but once unplugged it goes completely blank...

  • Ipod nano 5th gen - works fine when plugged in either to wall or computer and appears to be fully charged but as soon as it is unplugged screen goes blank and will not start - is the battery shot?

    Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement.  Not much else for troubleshooting here.  Sorry.

    My iPod touch fully charge sign is indicated in my iPod touch but in green light it is just 3/4, what happen in my gadget?

    - 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.

    Hi, Primmy1. 
    Thank you for the question.  Below, I have attached a couple troubleshooting articles that will help resolve the device not being recognized by iTunes.

  • Make sure your iPod is fully charged before updating!!!

    For all of you out there contemplating the 7.0 update- make sure the iPod is fully charged before you do the update. You'll save a lot of headaches. The Genius Bar at the Apple store suggested that our install was corrupted because perhaps the iPod wasn't fully charged, and wasn't getting enough power during the update. We ended up with a corrupt install and a frozen iPod, but fortunately the genius fixed it. I couldn't even do a reset, it just was stuck. The genius plugged it in using both USB and firewire, which allowed enough power to get to the iPod so that it could be reset, and then restored, which fixed it.

    We are lucky to have an Apple store near us, so we went to the Genius Bar at the Apple store, and the person there fixed it.
    Have you tried sticking the iPod on a wall charger and letting it charge up? If not, you might try getting it fully charged, and then see if it will let you reset the iPod. You may end up having to restore, which would unfortunately wipe off your songs.

  • 4 days old MBP 13". First boot up showed charge of 100%, next boot up showed battery fully charged but the percentage read 98% in the subsequent boot ups the battery is fully charged but percentage reads 96%. Whats wrong??

    I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. On my first boot up, the battery charged to 100%. I didn't operate this thing on the battery. The next time I booted this thing up, the battery was charged but the meter read 98%. In the subequent boot ups of this machine, and I still having not used the battery, my battery is fully charged but the meter now reads 96%. IS there some problem with the hardware or the software? Help is appreciated!!
    Thanks.

    hey thank you for the info. Based on what happened, the battery has gone up to 100% just once when I booted this machine for the first time. On subsequent occasions the Battery Charged symbol has appreard at below 100% charging. I have been using my MacBook Pro for the whole day with outlet power and never did the battery go back to 100%. I hope I don't have to calibrate the battery on this model?

  • If my computer is not fully charged but i'm shutting it down for the night, is it better to leave it plugged in or to unplug it?

    If my computer is not fully charged but i'm shutting it down for the night, is it better to leave it plugged in or to unplug it?

    Your computer will not overcharge, even when off. If the battery is sufficiently low, it will top off the battery and stop charging. By morning, the light will be green because it is done charging.
    There is no need to disconnect the power when you shut it off. The SMC microcontroller will continue to supervise charging the battery, even when the main processor is shut down.

    simply try doing a back up and restore
    when going thru the activation screen, select SET UP AS NEW and then test your device. if it is not shutting down then it could be 1 or more apps tht have been downloaded wch could be affecting the device
    you will then need to follow the process of eleimnation, meaning add 2 apps and then monitor your phone, if nothing happes then add another couple of them and then check
    good luck !!
