IPod only works when connected to computer?

When I plug in the iPod Nano to charge, then "eject the disk", I am able to use the Nano. The screen works and shows that it is fully charged. When I removed the USB cord from the Nano, the screen gets dim then after 2 or 3 seconds, fades to black and does not work. How do I fix this? I tried holding the 'select' key with the Menu key to do a restart and nothing happened at all. I have looked on these forums and read variations of this question, but no one has ever answered it!
If the battery is dead and needs to be replaced, I will be VERY upset because this iPod has only been used twice ever.
ALSO if the battery is dead, can I take it back to the store and will they replace it for FREE? I got this as a gift (in the package and everything) so I know that it has not been used before but obviously I do not have a receipt or anything like that. And I do not even know where an Apple store is in my area since they only seem to be in wealthy places.

If this is a 2nd Generation Nano, and it has only been charged twice, I can guarantee that the battery is bad. Lithium ion batteries need "exercise" and should have at least 1 charge cycle monthly. You can be upset all you want but the lack of use is what did in the battery.
You can send it to Apple and pay them to put in a new battery or try a 3rd party site, such as http://www.ipodjuice.com

My iPod only works when plugged into a wall socket!

Anyone know why my iPOD only works when plugged into a wall outlet? I tried it on the Bose docking station and also my MacBook and it won't work!
Any ideas??

Sounds like a dead battery. You can have Apple swap out the battery for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party service center to have them do the same for job a little less.

"my ipod only works when its charged."
Then it sounds like a battery problem.
Try these.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod has no power and appears frozen.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
If none of the above help, then it may be an issue that requires service.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

IPod only charges when connect to the Mac

My iPod will only charge when connected to the Mac. It will not charge on any other cable or docking station. And, yes, I have tested the various cables and docking stations with other devices and the issue is clearly only with this one device. I am note sure what generation the device is, but it is old enough that it cannot run iOS 7. It is on iOS 6.1.5.
Thanks

Then it seems that the other sources do not work satisfactorily. Do the other charging sources charge other devices?

Does Siri only work when connected to WiFi

Does Siri only work when you are connected to a Wifi? Mine does not seem to work through the 4G cell network.

It works over WiFi or cellular.
If you are using 4G cell network, are you using something like a Verizon MiFi 4510L to create a hotspot that your iPhone 4S is using?
There are other issues with Siri that are going on - perhaps that is what you are seeing?

DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain() only works when connected to DB as sys

Database Version: 10.2.0.4.0
Hello,
I have a problem with DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain where the Chain to be run references an external Program.
The Chain runs correctly when run via SQLPLUS when you are connected to the database as SYS but fails to run when you are connected to the Database as the User who owns the Chain.
The complete steps to recreate the problem are below. Any thoughts or suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks,
Andy
STEP 1: Login with sys as sysdba and create a new user
CREATE USER chaintest IDENTIFIED BY password PROFILE DEFAULT ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
GRANT MGMT_USER TO chaintest;
GRANT CONNECT TO chaintest;
GRANT IMP_FULL_DATABASE TO chaintest;
GRANT SCHEDULER_ADMIN TO chaintest;
GRANT MANAGE SCHEDULER TO chaintest;
GRANT EXECUTE ANY CLASS TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE ANY DIRECTORY TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE ANY JOB TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE TABLE TO chaintest;
GRANT EXECUTE ANY PROGRAM TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE JOB TO chaintest;
GRANT CREATE EXTERNAL JOB TO chaintest;
STEP 2: Create a very simple batch file
Create a folder called c:\chaintest and create a text file in there whose entire contents
is "notepad.exe" followed by a carriage return. The idea is that if this batch file is
called a notepad Window will be opened so we can clearly see if the batch file has run.
STEP 3: Create a DBMS_SCHEDULER Program
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM (
program_name => 'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
program_action => 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CMD.EXE /q /c c:\chaintest\chaintest.bat',
number_of_arguments => 3,
enabled => false);
DBMS_SCHEDULER.define_program_argument(
program_name =>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
argument_position => 1,
argument_type => 'VARCHAR2',
default_value => '/q');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.define_program_argument(
program_name =>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
argument_position => 2,
argument_type => 'VARCHAR2',
default_value => '/c');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.define_program_argument(
program_name =>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM',
argument_position => 3,
argument_type => 'VARCHAR2',
default_value => 'c:\chaintest\chaintest.bat');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM');
END;
STEP 4: Create a chain
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_CHAIN (chain_name => 'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN');
END;
STEP 5: Create the only Chain Step
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DEFINE_CHAIN_STEP(chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, step_name=>'STEPA'
, program_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_PROGRAM');
END;
STEP 6: Create Chain Rules
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DEFINE_CHAIN_RULE(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, condition=>'TRUE'
, action=>'START STEPA');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.DEFINE_CHAIN_RULE(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, condition=>'STEPA COMPLETED'
, action=>'END');
END;
STEP 7: Enable the Chain
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN');
END;
STEP 8: Run the Chain whilst still connected as sys and observe that a Notepad window opens
confirming that the Batch file ran successfully.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, start_steps=>NULL);
END;
STEP 9: Connect to the database as the CHAINTEST user and run the same command as in STEP 8 above.
Observe that even though you receive the message "PL/SQL procedure successfully completed." and do
not see any error messages that no Notepad Window is opened indicating that the Batch file was NOT run.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_chain(
chain_name=>'CHAINTEST.CHAINTEST_CHAIN'
, start_steps=>NULL);
END;

>
The Chain runs correctly when run via SQLPLUS when you are connected to the database as SYS but fails to run when you are connected to the Database as the User who owns the Chain.
>
Not true based on what you posted. The chain DOES RUN connected as SYS and when connected as the User who owns the chain.
You posted steps that show that SYS is the user that owns the program and thus the chain.
>
STEP 1: Login with sys as sysdba and create a new user
STEP 8: Run the Chain whilst still connected as sys and observe that a Notepad window opens
confirming that the Batch file ran successfully.
>
I don't see where you made any EXECUTE grant to user 'chaintest' that would allow that user to execute the program.
See the Usage Notes in the CREATE PROGRAM section of DBMS_SCHEDULER in the Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_sched.htm#CIHEHDHA
>
For other users to use your programs, they must have EXECUTE privileges, therefore once a program has been created, you have to grant EXECUTE privileges on it.
>
Grant the EXECUTE privilege to user 'chaintest' and try it.

My ipod only works when plugged in.

I always keep my ipod plugged into my doc and it plays fine on there and when it comes off the battery life is great. But when its off the doc the click wheel wont work and it goes idle. I tried plugging it into the wall and the pad works fine. It will oddly enough work when it has a cord plugged into the ipod but also unplugged from the all, like it has to have something in the bottom weather it's charging or no. Why wont the buttons work when something isnt plugged into the bottom of it? It's a 4th generation nano, 8g if that helps.

You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's clickwheel, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less. Google "iPod clickwheel repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

How to recover music? iPod only works when plugged into wall outlet

My iPod is probably 5 years old or so. It's been acting up for a while and I stupidly, did not back it up.
The battery was replaced this weekend so it works when plugged into the wall. It will not power on or do anything when not plugged into the wall. When plugged into the wall charger, it can turn on and says it is charging. It can be used then but as soon as it is unplugged, it's dead.
When it is plugged into the computer, it says "Charging. Please wait...". There isn't enough power from my laptop to power the iPod, so my computer doesn't even recognize it. It does not show up in iTunes.
On the brightside, I have a new iPod classic waiting to be used. However, I would VERY much like to get my 90gb+ off of my old iPod first. Is there a way to do this?
I'm at a loss. Some of the files are on there are not anywhere else. I have a few songs by a friend who lost them on their own computer.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Bump. Is there no way to solve this?

My ipod only works when its docked

I can't even reset it. It is only playing music when its on a docking system. It is also showing a full battery....

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod nano only works when connected to charger

i have a 5th gen nano and when i disconnect it from charger it won't stay on. I tried the 5 steps on trouble shooting and reset also still won't come on without charger connected

Make sure the HOLD switch is in the off position. See Chapter 1, page 8, Disabling iPod nano Controls - iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual (direct PDF download)
Also try restoring your iPod. Directions for doing so is also in the manual.

My iPod only works when its plugged in, as soon as I take it off charge it turns off. Is this unfixable?

Ive looked up ways to reset th ipod and nothing has worked, for it only turns on when plugged in and wont turn on when it isnt.

Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced. Apple can do it or other authorized service centers as well.

Time caspule only works when connected through my dLink router first

I have a dlink router that was always my network router in my home. I hooked up a time capusle from the lan output of the dlink into the internet input port on the time capsule and it works fine. The time capsule and dlink are both wifi hostpots. When I connect my time capsule from my modem direct without the dlink the LED will not turn green. WHy is this and how do I remedy this.
Thanks
Colin

The easiest way is to "hard reset" the Time Capsule and reconfigure it using AirPort Utility.
Make sure it is connected to the modem first. Remember to power down the modem before changing its connections.
To "hard reset" the TC: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.
This will not affect your backups. You might need to re-select the TC's backup disk in Time Machine's Preferences, but your existing backups will not be lost.

My iPod only works when....

I have a 30GB iPod Classic (Late 2006) which works fine (after taking a few "warm-up" minutes to turn on) once I plug it into my wall adaptor. However, it no longer turns on by itself. Is there any way that I can get it to work again without having to replace the battery? Thanks!

No. You'll need to have the iPod's battery replaced, either by Apple or a third party service center. The battery no longer has the ability to build or maintain any sort of charge. This happens to all batteries.

APE only works when connected via ethernet

I have a new AirPort Extreme that I am trying to add to my existing network (an older APE base station and 2 Express) and no matter how I try to configure it, I can't get it to work without being connected with an ethernet cable (either to my MacBook Pro or to the other APE base station).
I also tried setting it up on its own with a new network and that wouldn't work either.
If it isn't plugged in, and I try to change the configuration, i get this error:
"AIRPORT UTILITY WAS UNABLE TO FIND YOUR BASE STATION AFTER RESTARTING.
The settings for this base station have been successfully updated, but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the base station. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again."
The amber light flashes, and it never shows up again. It doesn't matter if i unplug the APE, turn AirPort off and on, restart the utility, restart my mac... it won't ever show up unless I connect via ethernet, but as soon as i connect the ethernet cable, everything works fine.
Does this mean that there is something wrong with the APE, or is there something I'm doing wrong with my setup (I've tried the assisted setup and manual setup following the instructions in the "Designing Air Port Extreme 802.11n Networks" pdf)?

Yes. It's just the one APE that is a problem. The rest of the network is fine.
If I connect the new APE to the older APE with an ethernet cable, I can see it in AirPort utility and use AirPort Disks connected to it, too; but as soon as I unplug the ethernet cable, it can't get back on to the network and it no longer shows up in AirPort utility.
