My IPod Touch 4th gen won't charge unless its off when it's on it won't even recognize the charger or indicate it's charging please help me figure out so I can charge and use it at the same time

Help would be appreciated

The charger yo are using does not supply enough power to both charge the iPod and power a working iPod at the same times.
Not the wall you plug the wall charger into if you are using a wall charger.
Have you tried another charging source?
I would also try another cable.
Further
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

My ipod touch 4th gen does not show up in iTunes when I plug it in. It charges, but I cannot sync it or add new music. I am using iTunes on a MacBook.

IPod Touch 4th Gen screen messed up after turning off then back on (it died)

My ipod had 20% battery and I was due for a full cycle charge so I let it fully die then plugged it in to charge then when it started to turn back on the bottom (where the first two rows of numbers are for the passcode) of it was white and inverts colors then the rest of the screen doesn't show colors right it's just mostly almost white until it gets to strange pictures then it shows colors a bit better but it's still messed up (No I havent dropped it or got it wet or left it in the sun or whatever I plugged it into the wall charger I have and left it set for about an hour then went to bring it out of sleep mode and it was like that)

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.

Whenever i connect my ipod touch to my new pc with windows 8, all i can see in my computer is the internal storage or dcim( pictures). can anyone please help me figure out how i can locate or view my music folder?

Hi guys ,
I am very troubled with my ipod touch because I don't see my ipod folder showing up on my computer. i have tried all possible ways to make it viewable but somehow i end up seeing only my internal storage (dcim/pictures). Its really frustrating because bought a new laptop with windows 8 and installed a new itunes but only to find out that i cant transfer my songs right away.... I can connect my ipod touch to the itunes swiftly but to transfer my songs from my ipod to my computer is such a hassle. so please if anyone could help me figure this out... I cant buy an iphone unless i fix my problem with my ipod.....
pls pls pls pls help me

You need a third-party program. The following includes listing such programs. It also included instructions form making this computer your syncing computer

Please help me figure out if I can return

On the 5th, I bought my MacBook Pro. I really like it except that it's a 1.83 instead of 2.0 which is now the standard for MacBook Pros, and on top of that it makes the exremely annoying whining sound. I called the apple store (in Kansas City) were I purchased the MBP, and they said I could return it since it was still within 2 weeks, but I would have to pay a 10% restocking fee, which would be like $200.
Is there any way I could return mine for the new one, without paying the fee?
Thank you so much for any help

no, theres now way unless you can try to convince them to oversee the restocking fee. they have a 10day grace period for price drop refunds (which they aren't required to), 14 no restocking for returns, adn 30day to return after first 14, you pay the restocking fee. it may seem unfair for some who recently purchased a mbp 1.83..
everyone seems to be complaining about hwo apple upped the product. they did, no one can deny it. it ***** for many who have purchased 2 or so weeks ago, or even 2 days ago. however that's life - technology advances, prices drop, things get replaced. AN example would be buy a cellphone, next week it gets replaces with a newer model (ie: razr and the razr v3 when it came out). It's a simple case of 'wait and better will come'... and yes, i understand how the products are only a few months old until they were discontinued :/
however you could ask if they will repair the whineing mbp. if they agree you willend up with a 2.0 most likely as they change the logic board to a rev d.
just my 2cents.
best of luck! let us know how it goes!

Can someone please help to figure out why I can not read or burn audio cds?

IPod touch 4th gen won't restore or power on after dropping it on its back "waiting for ipod"

My iPod touch 4th gen was recently dropped on its back after playing with its case. It turned white, then powered off.
After that i tried restoring and now everytime itunes stays on the "waiting for ipod" step.
I know that all functions work because I successfully entered dfu mode many times, and the lcd powers on but the progress bar doesn't move while itunes says waiting for ipod.
Thanks for looking at my thread and sorry if i misposted (first time apple forum user)

Something has been jarred inside. Anecdotally, people have reported success smacking their device again, to maybe rejarr things back into working order. But doing that is your call since it could be defined as abuse.
If it's physically damaged inside, there may not be much of a user fix for you to try unfortunately.

Will the iPod Touch 4th Gen have Siri?

Will the iPod Touch 4th Gen have Siri? I'm curious because it would be cool if every iOS device that's capable would have Siri. would'nt it be nice if they would add Siri and other more features in the next update on iOS 5? just a thought to ponder.

You are talking about Voice Control for music. It has been a feature for a while. For the User Guide:
Voice Control
Voice Control (iPod touch 3rd generation or later) lets you control music playback using voice
commands. To use Voice Control with iPod touch 3rd generation, you need Apple Earphones with
Remote and Mic, or a compatible accessory with a microphone.

IPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my computer, charge or connect to iTunes.

Okay, here is the issue. My computer runs Windows Vista. Ever since I have updated iTunes to 11.0.2, my iPod touch hasn't been able to connect to the computer at all. I don't know if there is any correlation between the update and my issue, but I need someone to be the judge of that. Apple has suggested that you uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, etc. restart the computer and then reinstall them. So I have done that multiple times, and my iPod still won't connect to the computer. My sister's iPod touch, 4th gen just like mine won't connect to iTunes or the computer either. I have spent a lot of time looking up possible solutions, but none of them work at all. I've done everything Apple suggests in troubleshooting and such, but nothing works. I was hoping someone else might be able to give me a solution. One that hopefully does not involve uninstalling and reinstalling Apples programs, which I have done several times.
I have tried all accessable USB ports on my computer, and I have switched between the four different USB cords that we have, so this isn't the issue. My PS Vita will connect to the computer with no issue at all, so it isn't the USB ports either. I can plug my iPod Touch into my PS3 and it will charge the instant I plug either end of the cable in, the same for my sister's. I can plug it into the dock on my mother's alarm clock and it will charge just fine. I'm open to any suggestion, so please help me out here.

So you tried everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Won't charge with a enercell charger that I've used since December. It will only charge with the apple USB cord that came with it. And even the takes it about 6 sec. To realize its charging. Help me fix this?

Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.

My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't charge?

Well I've had my iPod Touch 4th Gen since it came out it will be 2 years old in October. Yesterday I charged my iPod while listening to music. I took it of when it was charged and used a little it became half dead so I put it on my charger. I realized there was no indication of it charging? I placed on all of the chargers in my house and the same problem. I haven't tried connecting it to my Mac, but I did try turning on and off but still won't charge. Does anyone know if I can fix this?

- Try connecting it to yur computer and se if it charger and it it appears in iTunes
- Try another cable
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalites like bent or corroded contacts, crackd or missing plastic pieces or foreign material.

My ipod touch 4th gen. won't charge or reset or come one at all.

Please help. I have a ipod touch 4th gen. Yesterday it died, battery ran down, and i've not been able to get it to do anything. The screen shows the battery with red, but it's really faint. I've tried to reset/restart it several times, but it still does nothing. I plugged it up to the computer, hoping to reset it via itunes... nothing. I left it plugged up to the computer for several hours hoping it would charge....nothing. Tried the docking station to charge it, nope.
The battery has run down before and i've been able to charge it with no problem. I don't know what's different this time. Is there a way to do a factory reset or something like that to just completely reset the whole thing?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

Ipod Touch 4th Gen wont turn on or charge

Ipod touch 4th GEN

It worked fine, nothing wrong with it.
I went to take a photo and the shutter screen froze so i held it the home button and lock button and then it turned of. I waited for it to turn back on but it wouldnt
ive tried charging it and nothing apears on the screen, its just black and no charge picture nothing. the only time it froze was when i went on camera app. other apps were fine, and camera was fine because I was using it on a different app.
I've tried holding home and lock button in for 30 secs, nothing worked.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
