My ipod is not getting charged, and its not being recognized by windows

The day before, i left my ipod in the bathroom for the whole day without doing anything to it. Yes, the battery was already drained i just didn't charge it.
Today, I connected my ipod to my computer to charge but nothign is happening. Usually it'll say say something like "please wait very low battery", but as of now its completely blank. I did the basic troubleshooting procedures, reseting, restarting pc, updating... etc. I also tried to connect to a different computer but it still doesnt' work. I always leave the cable connected to the pc sitting on my desk and i'm positive nothign happenend to it, unless it broke while sitting on a table. I've had this ipod for bout 8 months now and this has never happened.
Is there anything else i can do to fix this before sending it to apple?
Thanks

1. Battery life IS directly related to quantity of charge cycles.
2. I never heard the "400" figure. Where did you get it from?
3. Even if "400" is correct, the battery could have been defective from the start and perhaps this one can take only 100 charge cycles. For what it's worth, it does seem like it died too soon. From what I've seen here on the forums, batteries typically ast 18 to 24 months, obviously dependent on usage.
4. I could be totally wrong about the battery being shot! I just can't imagine what else it could be.
All the above notwithstanding...
I don't think that the magnet storage is a good idea but I don't think that it would cause this problem. Unfortunately, the bottom line is that you can't do any testing or try any of the basic repair sequences if you can't charge the iPod. If you're close to an Apple Store (owned and operated by Apple), take it to the "Genius Guy" or whatever he's really called. You will need an appointment. Don't tell Apple about the magnets!

I got to that page but clicking on the Subscribe Free had no effect.
Nothing showed in the Podcasts nor the iTunes U.
In fact I also subscribed to Stanford's lectures and despite actually managing to DL them there is still no subscription in iTunes U, just the Intro to Computer Science belatedly.

I'd like to attach the screen grab of the out of order and randomly DLed selection of Harvard's course, but the forum won't let me attach it even though it is only 456k. Correction, close post and retry and now it lets me. NB how intermittent the DLs are and in no particular order.

You can try the troubleshooting here. If that does not work I suggest an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store since you may have a hardwar problem like a dead battery.

My ipod shuffle will connect to itunes on computer but will not fully charge and will not play songs

My Ipod shuffle was washed in a washing machine but dried completely. Now it will connect to my itunes on my computer but will not completely charge or play songs. Can anyone tell me if this is a lost cause and I should buy a new one or is there hope that I can fix this.

Moisture will cause short circuits, so the battery is being affected. The audio output is also affected. You really can't tell if it is completely dry, on the inside. So, it's possible the current condition will improve if it is left alone to dry out for while longer. It is also possible that moisture (and short circuits) caused permanent damage.
Since it is recognized in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore (from the shuffle's Summary or Settings tab).
There is nothing else you can do (actively) to fix it, so if you want to have a usable shuffle now, you'll need to get a new one. You can leave this one alone for a month or so (in a dry well-ventilated location), and try it again. If it works, you'll have a new shuffle and a backup.

My battery wont charge and its not being recognized.

Okay, I got my MacBook yesterday (4-7-08) and I noticed that it wasn't charging. Went through all the different ways of trying to fix it and have come to the conclusion that it is a bad battery. I called customer service today and all my spec. and what not are bad....like really bad....

Now, about 20 minutes ago, I notices that it's not even recognizing the battery at all. So, now I'm trying to figure it out.
I received this laptop from school. I'm am a graphic design student and I have never really used a Mac before...I just want to know if it's just the battery or if I need a whole new one.
Please help!?!?! What do I need to do? What the hecks is wrong with it??

Try resetting the SMC.
Unplug the computer. Remove the battery. Hold down the power button for *5 seconds.* Put the battery back in. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
Unfortunately technology is not perfect and you may have received a dud. But that's a load of crap that the school won't take it back. Did you get it at your school's computer store, or is it used and they gave them away? If you got it from the store, then there's no reason why they shouldn't take it back. Ask to speak to a manager.

Verizon will not explain charges and does not reply to emails or calls

<Comment on moderator activities removed per the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service.>
Hello again,
I am a patient person, yet patience does not always pay off in getting results as evident in this example of trying to communicate with Verizon Wireless Customer Service.
It seems to me that upon losing a loyal customer to another provider, Verizon would attempt to lure that customer back with at least some type of positive interaction. Yet it appears that not only do you get slapped in the face with charges that do not make sense to the end user but you cannot get an explanation as to why these charges are occurring. Furthermore, when you are told you will be informed about it and then forgotten (with what appears to be the "ignore and customer will forget about it" scenario), that end user is just reinforced with a solid decision to never come back to Verizon and will also try to steer away anyone he knows from joining up with Verizon.
I am asking once again for someone to contact me about this issue. Today (4-4-13) I called Verizon once again and tried to get in touch with *#*#*# at ext. #*#*. You would have thought I asked the representative to explain the laws of physics as she was clueless as to how to do that. I then explained to her about the issue *#*#*# and I talked about and that I had not heard from her. She then informed me that she would get a message to her (*#*#*#) and someone would contact me.
As I stated in opening paragraph, it appears Verizon is more concerned about earning profits than customer service, which is now another reason for my leaving to another provider. However, I will continue to badger about the charges in question and will keep records of my correspondence as well as attempted correspondence until I do get a clear explanation of such.
Regards,

Subject: Overlapping Bill for *#*#*#
Hello, I was speaking with you 2 days back regarding the overlapping of bills for my former verizonwireless service. Phone number for this was ***-***-****.
I spoke with you for some time regarding this and you were going to check with your Supervisor but were unable to as they were in a meeting that could have lasted 2 hours. Nonetheless, you were going to contact me after you have spoken with them that particular day (Tuesday, April 2nd).
Perhaps you did try to return my call but may have reached a busy signal. However, I attempted to contact you today but was unsuccessful in doing so, which brings me to this email.
Please call me regarding this issue asap. I should be able to attend the phone, however, if no answer by me, please leave message on machine.
Thanks and regards,*#*#*#*#

A "loyal customer is one that stays with the provider year after year and pays their invoices on time and buys phones and accessory from that cell provider"
Then NO Verizon customers are "non loyal" as Verizon does not have the cheapest plan. Maybe the cheapest plan with the best coverage?
I have been with Verizon for several years and I always pay my invoice on time. I purchase ALL of my accessories from Verizon because I find they have the lowest prices when you add in my employer's discount. Other retailers just can't match the price. However, I don't really consider myself a "loyal" customer, just one who stays with the provider which is the best match for my needs. If another provider would do so, I would have no problem comparing them and choosing the best one.

My iPad mini Its getting overheated and its not connected to the charger, it start next to the home button, and expands a few inches.

This just started, i have like 9 months with it, it starts nexo to the home button then it expands, really hot,

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, restore the iPad > iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If that doesn't help, unless you purchased Apple Care (extended warranty), the one year limited warranty is stil in affect. Take the iPad to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider for service > Apple - Find Locations

Dropped my phone and now the back its cracked and wont turn on unless its on the charger and its not even charging . what do i do ?

I dropped my phone on the ground and the back is cracked now , so when i try to turn it on it would show the apple logo then shut off . then i tried to hold the power button and the home button and let go of the power button and continue to hold the home button it would work but once i take my finger off the home button it would shut off . then when i charger it it turns on and stays on but it doesnt charge up . what do i do ?

You've got a phone that has been pretty damaged. At this point you have two options.
1. Get a new iPhone
2. Get your current iPhone repaired.
Getting it repaired with Apple is the best route to go, but they do have Out Of Warranty repair fees.
For an iPhone 5 it's $229.
For an iPhone 4s it's $199.
For an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, Original iPhone, and an iPhone 3G it's $149.

I have got a new pc, and I want to upload the music from my ipod 4g to the pc and its not working :(

I have just bought a new computer as my old pc has broken. So I want to upload all the data from my ipod touch 4g to my new pc. I try and do this by clicking sync and nothing happens.

It would actually be easier to use the backup files from your old PC. You were backing it up to an external drive?

IPod won't turn on and isn't being recognized by my PC

Hi all, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. My iPod has worked fine. I purchased one of those iHome alarm clock players for it about 4 weeks ago. I haven't used the iPod on it's own in a while.
This morning, the alarm went off just fine. I went to plug the iPod into my PC and nothing. I couldn't get it to reset or turn on either. The computer says it doesn't recognize the player???
I think it maybe the battery, but I thought the iHome would charge it. Anyone?????

I was hoping someone would answer your question. I have 2 ipod nanos. I recently purchased an alarm clock/charger for my ipod. I love it, however now my computer will not recognize my ipod. It does recognize my daughter's ipod which is exactly the same as mine. I am using Vista. WHy WHy Why???

If not successful try the remaining items of:
- 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.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- 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.

Sounds like you need a new battery. Take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
