My IPod Shuffle wont charge or turn on...do I need to get a new one?...

Hi, I recently got a Ipod Shuffle for christmas. It came in a small box, with headphones and a USB cable. I don't know what generation it is, I guess 3rd or 4th, but honestly, I dont know. But I lost it and found it again about a week later. It was turned off. But it won't turn back on. Does it need to charge or do I need a new one? x

Hey xXFaith_AwesomestXx,
Thanks for the question. Yes, you’ll definitely want to charge the iPod before troubleshooting this issue. If after charging, it still does not respond, try resetting it:

    my ipod shuffle wont charge the orange light just
    blinked (front light)
    when plugged in, for hours
    While the orange light blinks it'll NEVER turn
    green UNLESS whatever is causing the light to blink
    (access by iTunes, used as data storage drive, ...)
    stops. IF you EJECT or UNmount or "safely remove
    hardware", it might display a solid orange...

    NO light? That means it's not receiving power from
    the USB port.
    it is 2 years old, is the shuffle battery dead ?
    It may very be. What happens when you press the
    battery status button on the back? Does the LED show
    anything?
    it still shows up in itunes and transfers music
    etc.
    Yeah, but what good is it if it won't play when
    disconnected?
    first thing this morning (after a overnight rest)
    i got a red light
    when i press the back light now
    i get nothing,

    If you've tried the basic troubleshooting steps (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new), and you've tried charging from a wall socket and these all fail, then you have a hardware problem.
    If your unit is still in warranty, you will be eligible for a replacement with a refurbished unit free of charge.  If you are out of your warranty period, you will be eligible for an out of warranty exchange which will cost the equivalent of 200 US dollars.

  • I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

    I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

    If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
    Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
    Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

  • So if i had lost my ipod, and i had bought the applecare for my ipod, do you think i would be able to get a new ipod since i have the applecare on it? or to get a new one would i have to give thee device in then get a new one?

    Applecare has nothing to do with a lost or stolen device.
    You would have to buy a new ipod.

  • My iPod closes the application i am using automatically, can i perhaps get a new one with my 1-year warranty?

    For example, i may be using the Facebook app or any other app and as i'm scrolling down or just normally using it, the ipod closes the app. I believe this is a problem of the ipod, and not the user. Would I be able to go to an apple store & have them look at it and perhaps get a new one? It only happens sometimes though, but 10+ times already.

    Apps that close unexpectedly are usually due to faults within the app itself. However, sometimes it helps to reset the iPod. Hold the sleep / wake button and Home buttons simultaneously until it powers down.

  • Ipod Shuffle wont charge up

    i cant seem to charge up my son's ipod shuffle (4th gen). both of my sons have them, they are identical and the 2nd one charges no problem. it has been run down so that the battery is dead (i think) but it wont turn on and no light comes on when i plug it into either usb or mains. (the other one charges up in the same usb port no problem). if anyone has had this problem and has a quick fix i'd be grateful for suggestions. many thanks

    I may not check this thread again, but I wanted to let you know I just bought a computer that has 3.0 usb hubs and they do not charge my ipod shuffle. If I plug it in something that has the common 2.0 usb hubs, it works. You may be trying to charge yours on a 3.0 usb hub. If that isn't what the case is, the common way they don't charge, and you may know this, is if your computer goes into sleep mode or is not on (most computers), it will stop charging. If it isn't charging at all, it could be your usb. If you have a cable box, xbox 360, ps3; try those usb ports. I hope this helps!

  • My iPod touch wont charge or turn on?

    My iPod touch was not fully charged but it had some charge and then it just turned off and now it won't turn back on. I plugged my iPod touch into charge and the red battery and lightning symbol comes on but that is still there a couple of hours later. If I unplug it it, is just a black screen and no matter what I do nothing happens. I can't turn it on and I have tried several different chargers that work for other devices so it is not the charger. I am abroad so I haven't got my laptop to see if it will charge that way or be detected in iTunes. I have tried resetting it and restarting it but nothing seems to be working. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? Any suggestions would be nice. Thank you.

    Try:
    - 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.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar       
    and
    Not Charge
    - 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.

  • Ipod keeps showing 'sad ipod' and wont charge or turn on

    I have an ipod classic which has 30 gb, and when I try to turn it on it shows the apple logo, than a sad ipod icon that says 'www.apple.com/support/ipod' and than 'please wait very low battery' and then it shows the apple logo again, and it repeats forever. I've reset it, and restored it twice. I'm trying to restore it now but it won't turn on. When I charge it, it repeats the cycle, even though it's fully charged. Is there anyway I can turn it back on?

    Sounds like the charging cable might be toast.
    You can get one cheap as dirt on eBay. I bought some spare ones.
    Go to your Apple dealer and ask to try a cable plugged into something. That'll be the best way to verify unless you have another cable.
    Maybe try wiggling the cable when plugged in.

  • My Ipod Classic wont charge or turn on. Ive never had a problem with it before this.

    OK so long story short, I went to listen to my ipod this morning before school and it wouldnt turn on.
    I thought it might have died and didnt really think anything of it. When I was done with school i went to go turn it on again, still nothing.
    Now itunes doesnt register its even plugged in. I've never had a problem with it so im really frustrated it was fine less then 24 hours ago and now it wont even turn on. Its not even that old I think its two years old maybe three.
    I've tried diffrent computers and different chargers still nothing.
    PLEASE HELP!
    i love my ipod and im way bummed its not working.
    thanks!

  • My Ipod 5 broke a while ago and I just managed to get a new one. However, when I tried to do a backup to configure it, a window popped up saying it wasn't possible because this devide's iOS version is too old for this backup... what do I do??

    How can I do a backup now if I can't even access this new device to update its iOS version? And if I just select the option of configuring it as a new Ipod so I can update it, will it still be possible for me to download the previous device's backup on it later? I'd hate to lose everything.

    That error message means that your new iPod is not fully updated. Update the new iPod and then restore from the backup of your old iPod.

    my ipod 4g has the apple care for 1 year can you get a new one for it because something happen to it the mirrer broke yes or no

    AIf the iPod broke because of a defect then yes, Apple will replace the iPod if it is within the warranty period.  A broken/cracked screen is not covered.  However, sometimes if you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store they will exchange your iPod at no cost if it has a broken/cracked screen.

  • Ipod shuffle wont turn on

    My IPOD SHUFFLE wont turn on , cant find it on my devices , it doesnt charge  PLEASE HELP! i love my ipod shuffle so much!

    How long have you left it to charge?  It could take up to 30 minutes for the iPod to show any signs of life, and sometimes a hard reset of the iPod is still required to get it to boot up. Here are instructions for rebooting the iPod Shuffle.
