My ipod touch has melted its charger?

I have had my 4th gen ipod touch for about 6 months and have never had a problem with it. It was working as normal yesterday, and I plugged it in to charge overnight but when I woke up the plastic around the cable and the end of the charger had melted, and there are points on the metal that look almost burnt? Also the contact on the ipod smells like leaky batteries and it will no longer charge but other than that the ipod is functioning as normal. Does anyone have any ideas why this might have happened or what I can do? Thanks x

-  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Bring the iPod, cable and charger.

  • IPod Touch lost all its charge in standby over 2 days please help!

    Ok, how in the heck could this have happened? It was at roughly 80% charge when I left it on my table on Friday evening, now its Sunday evening, I turn it on and it's got like 1% battery, its not even funny, it was a VERY thin red line (the battery)
    so how the HECK could this have happened? Could I have accidentally left it playing music? I mean, when I was walking home maybe a snowflake or two got on the screen but that couldn't have caused it. Please help, I am very worried, should I contact apple before my 90 days expire?
    By the way, this has NEVER happened before
    EDIT: I will fully charge it and leave it in standby overnight, if it loses like 50% battery, then I'll know to return it
    QUESTION: is the battery life really gonna suck now because I let the battery drain so much? I mean, it can't be good for the battery to go to 0%, anyways, I really hope not...
    EDIT AGAIN: I just came to realization...it was like -3 degrees Celsius (26.5 F) and the ipod was in my jean pocket....maybe that's the reason? but it couldn't be, because the ipod would have time to warm up again inside my house, anyways, just a thought.
    EDIT AGAIN: crap...I hope I didn't get condensation on it...

    mine discharges quickly when it is at home too. I suspect it is because of the WiFi.
    When at home it connects to my home network and downloads mail etc... therefore it's not sat doing nothing.
    If I leave it in the boot of the car (where it can't connect to WiFi) the battery doesn't lose its charge.
    Therefore, I suggest, you turn off the WiFi and give it a go.

  • Ipod Touch 5g shows its charging, but isn't

    Hi
    My Ipod Touch 5G is 18 months old and showing the it's charging when connected but dosn't gain any charge.
    I've tried other chargers and checked for dust in the Lightning socket.
    Please Help !!!!!!!!!!!!

    If you "charge" overnight how long does the iPod last?
    Not Charge

  • My ipod touch has died. i tried charging but nothing. any sugestions?

    my ipod touch has died. i trued charging but noyhing any sugestions?

    If the cause is a flat battery, then leave the charger in, it takes some time to charge the battery to have enough to display the empty battery symbol, then some more time to be able to start the ipod.
    If the battery died that's another problem, how old is the ipod?

  • My iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. HELP!

    My 4th generation iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. I tried buying a new cable and USB charging socket (and I bought one made by Apple), but that did not fix the problem. I restored it from iTunes, hoping that would work as well, but that failed. I am at my wit's end. Can anybody here help me? I've bought new equipment, tried rebooting, restoring, etc. but nothing so far has proven successful. If anyone's got a solution, please help!
    Thanks!

    All I can suggest is the standared fixes. It seems very strange
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Bring the cable and Apple wall charger too.

  • Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs.

When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs. I don't want this to happen I want the I pod songs to sync with iTunes. What do I do?

    That really does not work since music is not included in the backup.  See:

    Try here:
