My Ipod keeps turning on and shutting back off when trying to recharge.

My 4th Generation 30gb ipod powers on and turns itself back off before it loads the menu screen when I try recharging it. It does repeatedly and I can't access the menu or anything because the battery is low. Can someone identify this problem? I hope my ipod hasn't failed me because I have taken good care of it.

You might want to try to force it into disk mode so your computer will recognize it to do a restore.

    Hi there Jackie Silver,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • My iPod keeps flashing white and making a noise when I press the button?

    Whenever I press the button, my iPod makes a strange clicking sound and the screen turns white for a few moments. It will not allow me access to the home menu or do anything else that requires the use of the button. I don't know what might have caused it, if it is repairable, or even what is causing the problem. Help??

    My ipod does the same thing. The white flashing is the ipod taking a picture of the screen you're on. I haven't found a permanent fix for it, but what I do when it happens is hold the home button down until it turns off then turn it back on.

  • Gzzz. if i would have know this jetpack uses so much data,, even if i am not on anything and shut it off when i don't use it, i wouldn't have bought this,, already used 1.5gb of data and only on twice for less than 2 hours this month,, whats up with that,

    jet pack sucks.... used already 1.5 gb data and only used less than 2 hrs time,, and don't download anything.  even buying tn gb, sounds like thats a rip off, i been with verizon many years and wish i would have checked this before i purchased this jetpack.  sounds suspicious to me, guess verizon wnats to loose all its  jet pack users,, no help, no stopping the usge, may be worth paying to stop the contract at this point, this is rediculous..  anybody gotten any help withis resolving this issue,,

    I Am still baffled why anyone would think 15 GBS a month is enough to run a computer.
    it will certainly not run multiple devices.  Watching one hour of video will add up to 1-3 GBS of data alone.
    try a data meter.  Keep Tabs On How Much Data Your PC Downloads and Uploads
    How much data do you use on your computer a month?
    Our 3 person household with Cable internet guzzles close to 300 GBS a month at home and have a 30 GB cellular data pool. (Which we don't make much of a dent in)
