my new ipod 2 is not charging battery, why?

Please provide some more information. What charger are you using? Are you connected to a wall outlet or to a computer or hub? If you're connected to a computer, is it a high powered hub? Are you using your iPad while charging?
There's a good iPad charging FAQ at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060

New iPod nano not charging

My brand new iPod is not taking a charge. I have run down the initial charge it came with about half way. When I connect it to the computer, or to a car charger, or to a wall outlet with adapter, the charging icon appears. However, even after several hours, the battery icon shows only 1/2 full. I have reset it several times. Is there more I can do, or do I need to send it in for repair?

After disconnecting the iPod from a power source, does the battery indicator return to a full charge after a few minutes?
It's not very accurate and sometimes takes a while.

My new iPod is not charging !!

Just bought this iPod about 3 weeks ago,
After the 1st use it turn out to no be able to charge itself, I plugged it into the USB port that charges my brother's iPod shuffle and it still doesn't charge. The iPod becomes hot but doesn't turn on. doesn't reset either.
on the web it says that... "Fifth Generation iPod can charge via USB or FireWire, but they require USB to sync with iTunes" but itune doesn't recognise the iPod since it's not charged.

This is probably because its not connecting to the computer. Open itunes and plug your ipod in, once this is done unlock your ipod and play around with whatever you've got on there untill the computer picks it up. If not unplug and replug your ipod in. if not you may need to update the itunes software.

Brand New Ipod will not charge. Too low to turn on. Same icon for 2 days

I got this baby for christmas and recently it ran completely out of battery and I have had it connected to the computer for 2 days now and still no charge, Itunes does not even recognize it. If you got any help I guess just post on here or email me at [email protected]...
Thanks,

I have this problem too. My first generation Nano was revived by a Genius at the local Apple store when he connected it to an AC adapter.
Unfortunately, it seems that the Nano requires a small charge just to get it to the place where it can recharge using USB.
The solution: don't let the battery discharge completely, and/or buy an AC charger for the Nano.
I guess I should also change the settings on the iPod so it goes to sleep after a couple of hours. (I often listen to audio books while going to sleep, so the iPod plays all night, and uses all the battery power.)
Over the life of the iPod, the cost of an AC adapter is far less than the cost of buying disposable batteries, but it irks me that an adapter is necessary when the rechargeable battery runs out.

My new T410 will not charge battery! Bizarre

Hello, Today I recieved a T410 laptop I purchased from ebay. (perhaps a mistake)
The laptop appears to work fine while plugged into ac, however the battery will not take a charge. Lenovo power manager says the batter is at 15% capacity and "charging", however this never increases and the laptop dies instantly when the power cable is removed. It does not turn on without ac power. When it is plugged in and closed, the battery charging LED is illuminated, however it blinks (i'm not sure if it is supposed to do this?). It is solid orange for 4 second and then one quick blink.
I have updated the bios, completely removed the power manager software and driver and reinstalled it. This has not helped my issue.
One concern I have is that I purchaed this laptop refurbished from the states. I am located in canada. I hope I am eligible for warranty service.

Sounds like the battery is defective. You should be able to get it replaced if the laptop is still within the first year of warranty. Whether or not Lenovo will acknowledge your request depends on where the warranty applies.

HT1476 Hi why iPod touch not bring battery percentage

I need to know why iPod touch not has battery percentage so iPad,iphone3gs4,4s has battery percentage less iPod touch.please in the next software update ios 6 put battery percentage in the iPod touch 4generation

Apple has made no announcement as to why the battery percentage is not present on the iPod Touch.

Why iPad does not charge battery when is connected to my laptop?

why ipad does not charge battery ehen is connected/sync to my laptop?

Because most USB ports do not put out enough power to meet the iPad's minimum requirements. An iPad is best charged plugged into the wall with the supplied charger.

IPod will not charge or show up in iTunes

My iPod will not charge when I connect it to my computer through the USB cable. It does not show up on iTunes. Nothing comes up on the iPod screen at all. The iPod is completely dead. I have tried pressing the menu and center button at the same time. I have tried toggling the hold button. I have tried every combination. It is an old iPod (3 or 4 years at least) 80gb video. I have tried charging on another computer. It seems to only stop working like this if the battery dies completely.
Is there another solution to this besides the menu/center button solution?
Thanks!!

This is the exact same problem I have. The only thing that works for me is to charge it on an old ihome alarm clock. I bought the alarm clock at the same time as the ipod, and I haven't tried it on a newer ihome device. Once my ipod is totally dead, thats the only thing that will work. I even took it to the apple store and they told me all they could do was give me 10% off a new ipod and "recycle" mine. Before you do that, I would really recommend trying to charge it on an ihome or similar device. Here is a link to the ihome I used to charge mine: http://www.uberreview.com/2005/06/ihome-ih5-ipod-alarm-clock.htm
I hope this works for you!

My brand new PB will not charge when in standby or when on

I played with a number of PB's so far and finally have my own but... My brand new PB will not charge when in standby or when on; as soon as I plug the charger into the USB port it detects it and brings the screen up (if in standby) showing the lighting bolt on the battery but it does not charge; the lighting bolt stays but the % charge does not change (or hopefully increase) at all; it will actually decrease (??); the only way I can charge it is when I attach the charger and the PB is powered off… the PB brings the red (or green can't remember) LED on and starts to flash it on off and charges; tried the hard reset with no change; I am running the latest OS release 1.0.8.6067. Has anyone seen this? Is it h/w or f/w? Any Fix?

Here's a final update on this... the units goes back to its maker or the store sometimes tomorrow... Why? First I tried to understand if this was s/w or h/w related or maybe both before calling support which in the end I did; so I did try a different charger, hard resetting the unit, discharging and recharging etc; nothing helped or fixed the charging in standby; the unit continued to charge only after being turned off and then plugged into the charger. Here's what I learned:
1. Going through the initial setup and OS update it is quite possible for the unit to NOT load the OS image correctly i.e. it appears that it loaded the OS and displays the OS version as if it loaded properly when in fact it did not and the image loaded is corrupt. I found this out during a live session with support when they were looking at my PC screen while the PB was connected to the PC only to point out that the Desktop Manager was showing a s/w update being available (1.0.8 bundle 6067) while the unit was reporting 1.0.0 bundle 0. Strange, I thought I already had 1.0.8.6067... after accepting the update, which takes a bit to load, I started more testing, charging, discharging, hard reset (i.e. Volume Up + Power) etc with no positive results to report. This also proved that the USB port is working, both data (PC to PB communication alright) and power (PB displays the plug over the battery bar when the power contact work)
2. The charger I have works and it is the correct one: P/N PSM09A-050RIM; make sure it is not one of the incorrectly rated chargers some received.
3. In order to reduce the amount of current the unit consumes when on, you have to run the Video Chat app at least once and acknowledge the (c) page; otherwise this remains as a background app that take more CPU cycles on the battery. After doing this I did notice a slight improvement in the sense that PB did charge some instead of discharging. The problem is that it only charged to about 60% and did not move higher no matter how long I waited (yes I did reset just to make sure it is not the s/w acting up and deciding to not update the power bar)
4. The way the RIM RMA works is like this: they start the process for you to return the unit back for repair which I understand may take 10 days; you may get a unit to use for this time if so desired, it will be charged to your CC; your unit may get repaired if possible; if not possible to repair, your new unit will be replaced with a refurbished unit; once you get some unit back you need to send the “10 day replacement unit” to RIM to get your CC charge cleared. I find that this program is good for when you can not return the unit to the place you purchased it from. Otherwise it is not good as I do not like getting a refurb for something I consider brand new (not to mention that you may get a unit with a few bright or dark pixels)
5. Throughout this process I looked at three (3) Playbooks: 2 had bright pixels and were returned immediately; this last one does not charge correctly. No win for me!
6. The battery lasts approx 4 hours with the unit playing a video clip in a loop and WiFi on with a WEB pulled stop watch running as well (had to allow multi tasking in setup/general).
Finally, my theory about this problem is that it is h/w related and that it is caused by the noise the board or the display is making when the unit is either on or in standby; a component not soldered properly (cold joint) or out of spec may be the culprit; for example a resistor in resistor divider monitoring the battery voltage or a decoupling capacitor missing or not soldered...

Palm Pre crazy symptoms: "phone offline", will not charge battery, will not start, error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved"

This is a long description of a series of problems with my new Palm Pre. You may wish to search the text to find your specific issue(s). There is no solution in my post. Look for possible answers in the responses to come.
I bought my Palm Pre 4 days ago and it arrived 2 days ago. Phone worked great. Last night I plugged in the phone and updated the OS. After completion, I selected "Done" and went to bed.
- First Series of Issues: "Phone Offline", will not charge battery -
In upper lefthand corner of the phone there is the message "phone offline". Although the phone has been charging all night it reads "26% battery". I called the general Sprint tech support number and we tried the following things:
1) Restart phone (press and hold power button, then select "turn off". after power down, press and hold power button to power on.)
2) Reset the phone (several different ways - call tech support so that you do this correctly)
The individual at Sprint then sent me to another tech support person, presumably 2nd tier.
- Second Series of Issues: Error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" -
Sprint tech support person #2 also had me restart and reset the phone in a number of ways. In her words "we've tried every palm pre trick I know" and each time the phone was unresponsive. Often we received the error message "phone is offline". We did a full erase and after that the phone would no longer restart. At this point the error message came up saying "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" which referred me to www.palm.com for assistance. I think it's important to note here that this was not the typical error message (black screen with white letters) but rather the blue sky background with a semitransparent box over it with white text.
Sprint tech support person #2 then connected me with Palm support and the dance continued. Again we tried a whole bunch of resetting and restarting and erasing options. Palm support instructed me to go to: www.palm.com/rom to download WebOS Doctor, which I did. I downloaded the file. While that was happening he had me hold the "volume up" button and plug the phone into the charger. This caused a USB symbol to appear on the phone. When the file was complete I received an error message that the file couldn't run. Palm tech support person seemed surprised. I mentioned that I was on a Mac and he said he couldn't help me. He then transferred me to another Palm support person who works with Mac users.
Palms tech support person #2 then informed me that I should have selected the "mac" download option on www.palm.com/rom. I verbally walked her through the whole series of webpages, telling her that it says that you need Windows (version whatever) or Mac (version whatever) but that at no time was there an option to download a different WebOS Doctor for different operating systems. After some more discussion she told me she would have to have someone call me back tomorrow.
- Third Series of Issues: phone stuck on USB symbol -
So at the moment the phone is completely useless. Not fantastic. I booted up the mac in Windows 7 and downloaded WebOS Doc and received the same error. I also ran Windows Vista virtually and received the same error. Later this afternoon I'm heading into work to try the same thing on Windows XP.
In the meantime, I got onto this forum and located a thread that provided a direct link to the necessary file:
palm.cdnetworks.net/staging/rom/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar
After downloading that file, which I realized could totally be a virus, I was able to get WebOS Doc working on my computer. It required that I recharge the phone completely before beginning and now it's on the screen that says "Don't disconnect your phone" and the file is at 3% complete. Only... it's been at 3% complete for almost 30 minutes.
I am hoping that Palm will follow up with me tomorrow, but I'm leaving at 7am on a business trip and would love to have the thing working. Any suggestions are welcome, even if you can just tell me how to get the think disconnected safely before my flight tomorrow. I don't fancy getting through security with my phone wired to my laptop.
Thanks.

This question was solved.

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
Hope this helps,

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

Not Charge
- See:

iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod will not charge or connect to itunes

Hello, My name is Perla and I am a proud customer of Apple. I bought my iPod Touch 4G 8G on March 17, 2011. I had no problems over the course of almost a year. Last week, my iPod would not charge or connect to iTunes. I took it to the Apple Store and they exchanged mine for another. Just a couple of days ago, my new iPod had been experiencing the same problem. As of now, it would not charge to my computer or any outlet for that matter or connect to iTunes. I want to take it to the Apple Store and get it checked out but I'm afraid they won't exchange it again, they'll probably charge me and I don't have the money. Any ideas or suggestions?

I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You warranty is istll in effect. The warranty for a replacement iPod is 90 days or the remainder of the original warranty, which ever is greater.
