My iPod thinks is connected and full charged after reset

Hi, I don't know if any of you have had this problem, I searched already through google and this site and couldn't find anything.
My iPod (silver G2 mini with 4 GB) shows full charged and connected (the full battery with the lighting) after every reset. It becomes a problem because you can't then know how much battery you really have and if you turn it off the screen won't turn off because it shows the charged icon. Also you can't avoid the reset because if the iPod runs out of battery it will reset itself.
It will only go away if I connect it to a computer, reset it and then eject it, it doesn't however work if I connect it to a normal wall or car charger, only the computer.
Any suggestions?, I've already resetted it in any possible way, even restored it with Updater.
Thanks.

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

  • IPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update

    iPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update. Pls help me. I have tested my charger. Its working in another device. But my iPad 2 is not charging with other adapters too. What to do??

    Hello, 92.romil. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would make sure you are using an Apple branded cable with your iPad.  If you are, the troubleshooting steps in the article below may help.  The steps listed below for the iPhone and iPod still apply to your iPad. 
    Resolving issues
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

  • IPod not recognized (for sync OR charging) after OS 4 upgrade

    I upgraded to OS4 on Saturday July 10th with no problems. On Sunday (July 11) I used my iPod quite a bit. I was at a friend's house and the battery was getting low so he charged it through his computer. It charged completely and we continued using it the rest of the day. I plugged it in to my PC to charge it Sunday night and it was not recognized at all (for charging OR for syncing) through any of the USB hubs. I asked my friend the method he used to charge it that day and he confirmed it was via computer. Monday night I tried charging it through a friend's iMac. It charged halfway, though it still wasn't recognized. Tuesday morning I tried to charge it on the same computer and I got the "too much power drawn from the USB hub - HUB deactivated" message on ANY of the HUBs. It still doesn't work on my own home computer (though it HAD been working Friday night and Saturday morning pre-OS4 installation).
    I'm personally running Ubuntu 10.04 but obviously only was able to charge the iPod on that system. Anytime I want to sync or download music I restart to Windows Vista (and iTunes).
    I do also have apps installed, but nothing new from the previous OS - (I know that blaming third party apps is a common cop-out answer for apple techs).
    I hope this wasn't too confusing. My real problem is simply described by my subject line: iPod not recognized (for sync OR charging) after OS 4 upgrade. What follows is simply everything I've done to troubleshoot. The only thing I haven't tried is restore...because my iPod isn't even recognized by iTunes.
    I would greatly appreciate any help or stories related stories/situations. Strength (and hopefully solutions) in numbers!
    Best,
    Dan

    Assuming you haven't got the cords mixed up with another, older iPod, it sounds like you have a couple of problems:
    1. Your computer's USB ports have quit working. Reboot your computer and see if they reactivate.
    2. Your friend's iMac generated that message because you tried to charge the device from the low power keyboard USB port. iPods need to be charged off one of the main USB ports or a powered hub.
    3. iPods not being recognized by iTunes can be caused by 1) wrong cable; 2) non-functioning USB ports; 3) iTunes not being the correct version for the iPod OS; and finally 4) Apple Mobile Device Services driver is either stopped, missing, or disabled.

  • Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
    First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
    The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
    Good luck

  • IPod Classic not syncing or connecting, and full of orange "other".

    I have a 120GB black classic iPod, and I received it as a Christmas present nearly 2 years ago.
    I recently restored it, since I was already having troubles, and updated to iTunes 10. When I connect it to my computer, it will occasionally show up in "My Computer" as "Removable Disk L:" (I set it to L, since I named my iPod Levi. Laugh if you want).
    However, when I click on it, Windows Explorer freezes up. I'm unable to reformat it through CMD, or through Disk Management. Disk Management freezes up, and CMD just can't find the drive itself.
    When my iPod isn't connected, I go to the settings, and it says that 111GB are used, and it's full of the orange "Other"!
    I have reset it, I have tried a different chord, computer, and USB port, I have restarted my computer, I have reinstalled iTunes (at least 4 times) and I've been trying to restore it. I've gotten errors saying my iPod needs to be reformatted to work with Windows... Don't you hate redundancy?
    I have had this problem in the past, but that was only because of a corrupted music file.
    I'm looking for help as to how to fix this problem, restore my iPod, and sync everything on to it again, only without having to fork out money for someone to do it, or tell me it can't be fixed.

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    A few ideas for you to consider...
    "Other" is the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos. This includes the iPod's library and artwork plus any files you may have copied to your iPod in disk mode. The overhead for the library & artwork data is typically 1-2% of the size of the media, e.g. for 100Gb of Audio & Video expect to have around 1.5Gb of "Other". This information is needed for the iPod's operation and cannot be removed.
    If you have significantly larger amounts of "Other", not related to files you've intentionally placed on the iPod, then these are probably disconnected copies of your media files or iPod libraries left over from failed sync operations. The only way to recover the space is to do a full restore.
    If you have copies of all your media in your iTunes library this isn't a problem, but if you've been manually managing the content then I guess you'll want to try to recover the files from it first. See this post by Zevoneer on transferring files from the iPod to your computer. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library which yours obviously doesn't however the manual method mentioned towards the end of the post would work.
    <hr>
    *Diagnostics Mode*
    It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for *Manual Test*, then select *IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData* to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine for my 2 year old 6th Generation Classic:
    Retracts: 889
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2202
    Start/Stops: 894
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 10c
    Temp: Max 50c
    Take a note of your results. When finished press *SELECT & MENU* for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
    With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
    Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
    *Reallocated Sectors Count*
    Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
    *Pending sector count*
    Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
    Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.
    <hr>
    If the drive is essentially OK but iTunes isn't restoring it try Erase your iPod - The Super Fix for most iPod Problems. Basically a low level format of the iPod’s hard drive to try to get around whatever problems are stopping iTunes from restoring it properly.
    <hr>
    Once you've restored your iPod don't rush to dump all the data back exactly as it was before. I have found that lots of large or complex smart playlists can sometimes trigger constant reboots or dumping of the iPod's library. In addition, larger transfers can fail leaving data in an inconsistent state. Try this technique for populating the iPod in stages.
    *Break up large transfers*
    In iTunes select the menu item *File... New Smart Playlist*. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music. Tick against *Limit to*, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule ( *File... Edit playlist* ) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos, playlists etc.

  • I've never had my ipod die while connected to the charger

    I've been having problems with my iPod since I've updated it to iOS 8. My battery isn't charging and it's actually died on me three times WHILE connected to the charger. My apps also keep crashing. It's beyond frustrating.
    Is there any way I can fix my problem about it not charging?

  • Ipod wont stay connected and icon disappears from finder

    I have a new 80g video ipod, have had it for about three weeks. Up until today all was fine, but now it won't stay connected to itunes after updating files. It connects, shows up on the desk top for a few seconds, updates any new files and then just drops out. It keeps the do not disconnect screen for a few seconds, then the red warning logo disappears and after that i can not do anything with the ipod in itunes. The ipod music list is greyed out and I can't add any new photos or change anything. The only thing I have done differently since it was last working ok was I connected my camera using the camera connector and uploaded some pictures from that.
    I have done a reset and now a restore but that hasn't helped.
    is the problem with the ipod or itunes? What can I do?

    Sorry, this may be a case of "always read the manual first"!
    I think that what I thought was a fault with the ipod was in fact due to the default preference for auto syncing being enabled. As I had my previous ipod set to manual update I was used to being able to make changes to the ipods lists whilst connected, but as my new ipod is still set to automatically sync I now realise that this is why the ipods list was greyed out. In this mode it appears that it is usual that as soon as you connect, itunes updates any changes and then disconnects and the red "do not disconnect" screen on the ipod goes. If there were no new additions or changes to playlists made since the last time you connected, the sync will only take a few seconds and then the ipod screen goes back to the menu list. Also, because in auto sync the ipod will be updated with a copy of your itunes contents, the ipod's list is greyed out due to the fact that you are not able to make changes independently from your itunes list. (i.e. you have to make the changes in itunes in order for these to be replicated on the ipod).
    In order to keep connected and be able to alter things on the ipod list you have to have the preference set to manually update. Then the ipods contents are not greyed out and you can add, delete and change playlists without doing this in your main itunes on the computer.
    So I think I have answered my own question, unless I am still misunderstanding something here, and the moral is, download and read the manual properly before worrying that there is something wrong with the machine!
    I still think its a bit weird that the ipod icon disappears from he desktop though as I thought it would be at least recognised as being attached even if not in disc mode. Should it still show in the finder anyway?

    The cable carries the same warranty as the device with which it came.  Bring it to Apple.  If  a hardware defect is noted (and not misuse) then the cable will be replaced.

  • My ipod is completely dead and wont charge. What should I do?

    Ipod completely dead and wont charge. I've had it plugged in for days to multiple things. never happened before. please help!

    Try:

    - 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.

  • IPod mini serial number and battery charging

    This is a weird question that I hope someone can help me with. I purchased a refurbished mini (silver) on eBay for my daughter, because I love my mini, but I couldn't by a new one. I'm having battery charging issues (it won't hold a charge even after being on the charger (USB to Mac iBook) overnight. I wanted to see if there was still warranty available on it, but when I typed the serial number on the back of the iPod into the "check warranty" box on the Apple support home page it said it wasn't a correct serial number.
    The back of the iPod (from top to bottom) has the apple logo, an HP logo (I wonder if it was originally packaged with an HP computer?), a weird holographic sticker of some kind, the size (4 MB), then the serial number. The serial number does look significantly different than the one on my blue mini.
    Could it be that apple handed the warranty support on this iPod to HP?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iPod mini (blue)

    Kyle,
    Thanks for your help. I will check the Hp website for warranty information for her iPod.
    I keep my iBook set to never go to sleep when it's on the power adapter (I regularly charge my iPod overnight on it, and always use the power adapter when charging).
    I reset her iPod and it seems to have solved the charging problem. It may have been an indicator problem — I saw some posts about that. I am having my daughter listen to her iPod all day today and see how long the battery lasts.
    Your post was very helpful!

  • Ipod screen says 'connected' and wont change.

    I connected my ipod to my computer and then pulled it out without ejecting it. Now the screen wont change from the 'connected' screen. I cant turn it off and pressing any buttons wont help.
    i've restarted my computer but whenever i connect it again it says USB Device Not Recognised.
    what do i do?

    Hello Chudo,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you tried a simple reset of the iPod? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off a few times, then press and hold the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. You may want to try this a couple of times if no luck on the first.
    Another possibility is to try and force the iPod into Disk Mode and see if that helps.

  • Ipod stuck on Connected and hold even when not plugged in

    I've only had my ipod around 2 months, so i don't see why this is happening, but it seems even though i've tried to disconnect and eject my ipod many times (won't even appear as connected on itunes now) it's stuck on connected and on hold.
    The light also won't turn off.
    Tried holding the menu and play buttons at the same time to reset it. Nothing seems to work.
    Do i just wait for the battery to run out by itself and then hope the best?
    Any advice is highly appreciated.

    Mine just did the same thing,try holding the center and the menu buttons at the same time it worked for mine.

  • Skype drops connection and cannot reconnect after network change

    Whenever I switch between wifi and cable or if I enable my VPN, the skype connection drops and does not reconnect. The problem is not the VPN though because when on VPN I can Quit Skype, and reopen it and then it will connect. The same applies when switching between wifi and cable. Having to quit and restart skype everytime I switch really sucks, its supposed to be more "rugged" i would think.

    Guys tell you that when they quit Skype and start it again, it connects well! It means nothing to do with local IT configuration. The problem started few months ago. There is a proxy configuration for VPN defined in Skype settings and it always worked fine, switching connection accordingly to the network. Now it loses connection when we switch between VPN and regular network and vice versa. The Skype restart is required each time to restore connection and it is REALY annoying.
    If you claimed it worked differently before what changed on your end?  Does it behave differently in an older version of Skype (harder to test since they're discontinuing older versions)?  Most people who connect to a VPN use a VPN client to do so like the Windows  PPTP VPN, Cisco VPN client, etc..   People use varying VPN servers and VPN client versions and they can behave differently.   If users have a Proxy server they define that in the Proxy configuration.  I've personally never attempted authenticating to a VPN server using the Skype's proxy configuration in connection settings.   Split-tunneling is one setting that affects how traffic is handled and can produce a different result.  I wish I could tell you there is one solution to your problem.  If  you determine the process differed in a earlier release, it would be helpful to post the last release it behaved in the fashion you are accustomed to. A contact of mine uses a VPN connection and toggles it on and off especially when we have bandwidth related issue.  That does disrupt his Skype connection momentarily but he hasn't had to ever completely exit Skype.  However he relies on the VPN client and does not place that authentication information in the proxy configuration.

  • Slow wi-Fi internet connections and drop outs after MBP wakes up

    Hello,
    I have the new MBP 17 and recurring issues with the Aiport/Internet connections with my TC 500 Dual Band:
    After the MBP wakes from sleep mode, I have recurring drop outs with regard to my internet connection. Airport connection shows me the full 4 bars and tells me I am connected, but Safari loads internet pages to no avail. I then usually deactivate my airport for 5 seconds, then reactivate it. The connection usually is better after that, but I do still have drop out issues every so often.
    Anyone experiencing the same problem?
    Would resetting SMC have any effect on this?
    Thanks

    I've had a similar problem at home - it's been exasperating.
    It appears to be not just one thing but a collection of things causing the problems. The recent firmware update combined with driver updates in 10.5.6+ is one thing, but also there are some keychain issues, waking from sleep issues and interference issues.
    When the MBP firmware was updated (10.5.6 / 10.5.7) I can't be sure exactly I noticed that my wi-fi signal was effected much more by interference. I'm using b/g as I have iPhones on the same network as my MBP at home. I ruled out router issues by testing with various other machines (Macs and PC's) - and on different wi-fi networks (my office).
    The other machines didn't suffer the same problems at home and my machine did suffer the same problem at work,
    I have a feeling that the driver / firmware update combined with several Airport Passwords (for the same network) appearing in your keychain conspired together to create the issue. When the Airport Signal dropped below a certain strength (by sleeping or by moving to another room) and there is a lot of interference from other wi-fi networks - your machine fails to reconnect correctly to your wi-fi network.
    Often your network doesn't even show up in the available network lists. When it does - the keychain issue appears to cause a network timeout when re-connecting and therefore the connection fails and you get stuck in an annoying loop.
    Moving my MBP close to the wi-fi router causes is to re-connect - which is why I believe it is related to signal strength. Also using a n only network rather than b/g helps considerably (n suffers from less interference). This however is not a fix as I have an iphone (which requires b/g) and I like to use my MBP more than 3 meters away from my wi-fi router.
    Also on identical machines in my office (10.5.6 and 10.5.7) I didn't have the problem. The only real difference was those machines didn't sync with .mac and share the same keychain. Further more testing some of those machines on my home network they had no problems.
    I tried loads and loads of things to fix this. In the end it wasn't one thing that did it, but a whole series of them.
    1 - Delete all your Airport Passwords from your keychain.
    2 - Ensure that if you are using .mac syncing you replace the .mac keychain from your current machine.
    3 - Trash all your network preferences (including network interfaces and remembered networks)
    4 - Zap your PRAM
    5 - Resent your SMC
    6 - Re-connect to your wi-fi network
    And that appears to have worked for me. So far anyway.
