My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it but the only icon is the charging icon with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me?

My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it because the only icon is the charging icon, the one with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me and give me solutions before I go to an apple service center?

Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode.  This will be similer to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
First connect you iOS device to you computer.
Open iTunes if not already open
Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button.  For another 10 seconds.
Your iOS device should now be on DFU.  Click on restore and iTunes will download the lastest iOS for your device.
Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a sevice centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)

    I've found an easier way, just go to settings>general>usage>music. Then swipe it and press delete, i think this deletes the database described above, then re-sync, this worked for me anyway. Good luck, you need it with Apple software.
    I don't have a large library of music on my iPhone 4s since I've only had it since Oct 2012, but since the update to iTunes 11 in early December, my album artwork has been all messed up.  Everytime I would try to add new music, it would assign the wrong album artwork to anything new coming in.  And in addition to that, it would also mess up album artwork of music already on my phone.  Everything looked correct in iTunes, but on my phone, not so much.  After trying to unsynch, then synching again, my frustration level was at an all-time high. This problem seems to be everywhere online, but no concrete solution for everyone. 
    I finally came across your simple solution (at least for me because of my small inventory of music) of just deleting all the music through the settings, and then re-synching to add back my music.  Now all of the album artwork is correct again.  I'm almost afraid to add new music for fear the artwork will get mixed up all over again! I still think my issue is somehow connected to the iTunes 11 update because up until then I had no issues whatsoever. Anyway, thanks for an easy solution that worked for me.

    If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer.  Do this to Reset your shuffle

    Start up computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle.
    If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

  • My new ipod is showing that it is full but I have only loaded about 3gb

    My new ipod is showing that it is full but I have only loaded about 3gb

    Thanks Carolyn. I understand that my usable capacity may be less than 8gb for all those reasons.
    But here is my problem.
    I did a restore. The free capacity was then shown as 6.3gb,  then I added 75mb on mb4 files. The free capacity showing was then 5.3gb. I know that these files are approximately 75mb because I have them on my older 3G iPod touch and they are working quite fine and don't take up more than the expected room.

    Have you attempted to reset the SMC? That would be the first step. Hold the left control, option, shift key and the power button for about 5 seconds and release. Then try to reboot. Might as well reset the PRAM as well. Hold command, option, P, R on start up until the machine restarts. If that doesnt' have any affect we'll have to dig deeper into a potential hardware failure.
    If this method doesn't work, check the webcam that will tell the problem is on the iSight & WiFi cable. If your webcam is ok, then it'll be the WiFi card problem. Hope it can help ;-)

  • Why is my ipod touch showing that I dont have the software?

    Okay...well I know the question is kind of vague but here it is...My iPod Touch was working fine until I tried to update the software...now it's showing the screen when you first turn your iPod Touch on when you first get it and turn it on (if that makes any sense). My iPod is not even showing that it is connected to my computer!! I have checked my CPU and the only things plugged into USB ports is my keyboard, mouse, and my iPod Touch.I tried restarting my computer and everything but it did no good. What am I supposed to do??

    You do not need any app.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing

  • My ipod touch shows that it is sync'ing but as i look into the music folder of my ipod4 it shows no update. help anyone?

  • My ipod touch 5 has a black screen but the volume works and messages show up???

    I turned on my ipod 5 and the screen turned light black  and wont turn off. The volume works and i can screenshot but nothing shows up! Messages also pop up at the top of the screen too. I plugged it into the charger and the noise went off but nothing happened! Pleassee help!

    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.

    Without knowing exactly what troubleshooting you've tried, if you are using a Windows based computer, try iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • I just stepped up from my trusty 4gig generation ipod to an 8gb ipod touch. I have many questions but the most important is how can I get my music from the old one to the new ipod since it took me over a week to download all my CDs onto my last computer

    is anyone here?

    Are these tracks that are on your old iPod still in your iTunes library? If so, just configure them to sync to your iPod Touch.
    Otherwise you'll need to copy everything from the old iPod to your PC and into iTunes first. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
