My ipod wont charge right and is telling me to charge please wait

I wonder if any of you can help me. My 160 GB ipod classics battery doesnt appear to be charging, and now it simply wont connect to the pc or itunes. When i plug it into the pc it comes up with the battery at red, a caution sign infront of the battery and it reads charging please wait. When i unplug it from the pc it says connect to power so this leads me to believe that it isnt the wire itself. I have tried charging it with a plug (with the same wire as it was needed for the plug) and again it says charging please wait. I've left it in for an hour at a time. This happened yesterday but eventually it retained some small charge and allowed me to listen to it for 3 hours. The battery was fine this week and last week. Does anyone know whether there is something i can do to try and fix this problem

My ipod wont turn on and its been on the charge for ages... Please help!!!

When i try to turn on my ipod (Ipod photo 20GB) The logo appears and then after a few seconds the unhappy ipod picture comes up and underneath it says www.apple.com/support/ipod
I went to the support pages and tried restoring and resetting but nothing is working when I place it on the charge (mains) the battery with the lightening bolt comes up but it cant possibly not have enough cahrge to load because I have had it charging for ages!!
If someone can help me out here Id be extremely grateful!!

To begin with my ipod will be on the charge and the sign of the battery with the lightening bolt at the side appears, then i try and reset which involves holding the menu and slecet button...but the logo doesnt appear the wewe battery flickers slightly then resumes as normal i.e. with the battery and the lightening bolt, that is all it does I cant get it to do anything else...

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an ipod touch (4th gen) and just bought a clock/charger/player. It says I need ios 4.3. I keep getting a message saying I can download 6.? but it will wipe out everything on my ipod. Is there a way to get the ios without wiping out my files?

There is no supported method to "downgrade" iOS on any device. If you update, you will get the latest iOS for your device, which will be iOS 6.1.3. You cannot go backwards to iOS 4.3
If you have never backed up in either iCloud or iTunes, then upgrading to iOS 6.1.3 will involve restoring your device as part of the upgrade. Without a backup to restore from, you will loose everything that is on it.
You should first connect to iTunes with your computer, sync your device without upgrading and create an up to date backup of everything. Then use the upgrade option in iTunes to update your iOS.
However, if the dock device strictly requires iOS 4.3, it will not work, as you cannot downgrade iOS. There simply is no mechanism from Apple to do that.

My ipod wont turn on and the comp. is no recognizeing it!

ok my ipod wont turn on and i tried resetting it but it wont work and the computer is no recognizeing it the little window that pops up says that the thing in the usb has a malfunction!!

You have a hardware problem and you should take it into a apple store to be looked at and fixed.

So I plugged my iPhone 4s into my computer to charge it and when it was done charging I fallowed all the steps to unplug it. However when I went into my music all my music was gone except for my purchased music and all of my ringtones were were gone too?

I have it set on manually manage music and videos. So there is no automatic syncing going on or anything like that. Yes iTunes was open and when i plugged in my phone i could see all the music and everything on my phone, everything was working like it was supposed to, I didn't have a problem until I unplugged the phone.

My ipod wont turn on but will still hold a charge and power up when pluged in to power. What is wrong?

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

My ipod wont turn on and ive alredy tried everthing

my ipod 5 wont turn on and ive tried doing everything

If you're really tried "everything," then throw it away! Otherwise...
Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

My itunes freezes/ipod wont sync/scan and fix

OK, I think I have a bunch of issues that many people are having (except my problems seems to be everything). Couple of nights ago, I hooked up my ipod as normal and then it synced but froze. I then unplugged the ipod from the itunes and then afterwards I hit the scan and fix button. Thats the story, now heres the breakdown of things I did to try to repair it/problems Im facing.
1. When I hook up my ipod, the computer (windows 7) sees it and always has the scan and fix problem box pop up.
2. I have reformatted my ipod (on another computer and even did it once on my computer) still has problems.
3. When I connect my ipod to the itunes, it freezes it and WILL NOT X out or close after ctlaltdlt. I have to turn the comp off with the power (it wont even restart if I use the restart button)
4. I have done the chkdsk thing, my ipod seems fine
5. I have done the no automatic sync, nothing happens (except my itunes freezes)
6. Ive downloaded numerous things that seemed to help other out with the ipod sync/itunes freezing issues. No solution.
7. I disable my USB ports, that didnt help.
8. While in disk mode, the scan and fix pops up. Nothing happens when I connect my ipod to the computer without it (it wont even charge)
9. Ive hooked up my ipod to another computer and it seemed to work perfectly fine
10. i have installed, uninstalled, over and over and that has not helped either
please tell me you have a solution and if not, atleast tell me if i choose to gfet another ipod, it will not cause the same problems

I have a 160gig classic that I got for christmas but I've been having the scan and fix problem for some time now maybe since March. July 22nd I updated my iTunes and when I tried to manually add an album to my ipod iTunes froze and I had to ctrlatldel to close it. The end result was me losing about 60gbs of music, movies, and podcasts. Before then I've never had any problems with iTunes freezing EVER. After that everytime I plugged my iPod in iTunes froze until finally I got the chance to restore my iPod. The only problem now is everytime I try to sync I get -50, -60 and -69 errors all on different files. I'm convinced its either the iPod or the iTunes update or both. help please before I die from no music

Ipod wont turn on and computer doesn't recognize it

I've had my ipod for two years and never had any problems until four days ago when I unplugged it from my computer after it had finished charging and syncing. I went to plug it into my speakers but noting happened when i hit play. I unplugged the ipod from the speakers to check the ipod but it wouldn't turn on. After trying holding down the power button and the home and power button to no avail, i plugged it back into my computer. The computer didnt recognize it and it didnt show up in my itunes and the ipod started getting really hot in the bottom left corner. I unplugged it to let it cool down, but four days later it still wont turn on and my computer (imac) isnt recognizing it. As if this wasnt bad enough, I borrowed my brothers old chromatic, and used that for a day but it too died when i tried plugging it into the same speakers. And it too isnt being recognized by my computer. I now have two dead ipods and im thinking its because of these killer speakers...are they done for good or can they be saved?
BTW- neither were jailbroken

After charging for at least an hour I would try to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
If still not recognized, try placing in DFU mode and restoring.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
Last is to make an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I would also not use the speakers until the problem is resolved

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:

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.

New 5th generation ipod wont install software and is now stuck in recovery mode

I just received a 32 GB iPod touch 5th generation for Christmas today. I installed the newest version of itunes, backed up my former iPod to the computer and then plugged in the new one to add the software and restore it from the back up. After the 3 hours of installing the software was almost done it said an unknown error ocurred. Now my new iPod is stuck in recovery mode and won't get past restoring the iPod. I have tried to go through it several times now. I really want to get this working, but I don't know what to do anymore.

The problem is that it stops restoring. I go throught the recovery stage to restore it and not even a quarter of the way through it comes up with the message that an unknown error has occured. Every time i connect it to iTunes it tells me that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode.

My ipod wont charge right and is telling me to charge please wait
