New 160 Gb iPod won't charge (it is not a dead battery!!!)

Aprox 3 months a go I bought a brand new 160 Gbytes Black iPod that I fully charged only 2 times. So, believe me, it is really new! Suddenly, I noticed that the battery meter was not moving while charging it (connected to power outlet), I tried using a JBL OnStage II docking to charge it and same behaviour, while using the speaker docking iPod works perfect, even connected to the power outlet. Tried to leve it charging all night, at the next morning was still "charging", but the battery meter wasn't indicating charge level, the small "lighting" icon was there. Once disconnected, the following message appears on screen: "Low Battery - Connect to Power Source".
I'm currently living outside the US even that I bought my iPod in Baltimore's Apple Store. And guess what....I lost the receipt!!! so warranty is not valid where I'm living right now!!! Apple's web site says my iPod is still covered by the limited warranty until october 2008.
Any idea what might be happening? Somebody told me that my battery could be disconnected!!
Thanks in advance for any idea about solving the problem!

This just happened to me today. My wife called from her iPhone to my iPhone. The phone started to vibrate and when I tried to answer it, the screen stayed dark and I could not get any reaction to home button pushing. After she gave up, the iPhone started to respond to my button pushing. Strange but it looks like some sort of problem.
Stay well,
DJ

My iPod won't charge and is not recognized by my PC...

it's been two weeks that i saw my ipod blinked. (i have and ipod video, 30 gb.) the battery was draining so fast. i tried charging it. it charged but the following day, same problem. i tried reformatting it, but to no avail. i tried charging it again. but my adapter and pc won't recognize it anymore. i mean, no icons show up on the screen of my ipod. i got this ipod about a year ago, but this is the first time i encountered this problem!
i mean this is really: HELP!

I suspect that you have a completely dead battery.
i got this ipod about a year ago
If you mean 11 months, a battery replacement is under warranty but $30 shipping and handling. If you mean 13 months, a battery replacement is $59 + $7 shipping.

What do i do if my ipod won't charge?

What can I do if my ipod won't charge?

Find a more powerful USB port or buy a wall-mount charger from Apple.

5G 30G Ipod won't charge or sync

My Ipod won't charge when connected to my laptop. It does charge when plugged into my car radio transmitter and dock. When I plug it into my laptop fully charged I get a message from windows explorer asking me if I want to scan and clean it to repair any problems. I have done this. It starts to sync with itunes (still fully charged) and then I get an error message saying the disk cannot be read. When I disconnect the Ipod there is almost no charge on the battery. I have restored the Ipod through itunes and reinstalled itunes.
I have replaced the battery and charged it again but I am still having the same problems.
I have synced an ipod shuffle on the same computer with no problems.
Any help would be appreciated! thanks.

come on guys? can anybody help?
I have run the manual diagnostics and the USB cable is recognized. I let the battery completely discharge for 5 days, rebooted it up and its draining power from the usb cable to operate, but there is no software recognition (other than in diagnostics) of the fact that the cable is plugged in. In disk mode it shows charging but does not recognize it is plugged into a computer. In normal mode it does not show charging or syncing. OS X does not acknowlede the ipod exists and windows does not recognize the device (several computers, all recognize other ipods).
I'm sure this must be a software issue but i cannot restore as i cannot get the computer to recognize the ipod! Help

Old ipod won't charge

Older ipod won't charge. 30 gig, white, I've shown videos on it, so it's one of the earlier color iPods. I gave it to my mom 2 years ago and she never used it. I've tried a wall charger and plugged it into my computers, no luck. I can't get it to turn on at all, so can't reset or restore.
Thanks for any help!

Checked some identifiers on Apple website, apparently it's a 5th generation.

It sounds like you're owed another replacement.

My iPod won't charge - on any power outlet.

My iPod won't charge - it said for a while that the battery was empty (to the point of unusable) when I plugged it in, and left it plugged in for a a couple of days and now it will switch on but the battery is empty. I have tried resetting it (menu and middle button), and I have also tried to drain the battery and charge, but it does not work. there are no apple stores where I am /no genius bar so I can't go in store - and the model is recently refurbished - I swapped it out a few months ago - so shouldn't be facing any problems. Please help!

I have also tried charging it through several computers and numerous
power outlets but none work.

HT1476 My ipod touch only charges when im not using it, when i use it, it doesnt bring up the charging symbol

My ipod touch only charges when its not in use and doesn't come up with the charging symbol. Please help cheers

First try another charging source. Maybe the source yo are using is not putting out enough pwere when the screen is on.
Next try:
- 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.

My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

Why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77% 78% help me please

why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77% 78% help me please

All batteries recover a bit when they sit for a little while. Also most iPod battery apps register only in 5% increments, because it is hard to really be accurate to the single percent. Just because yours shows in 1% increments does not mean it is actually accurate to that level.

My 5th Gen. iPod won't charge

I recently got my iPod replaced when the screen was cracked. So I got a brand new one and a yesterday it wouldn't charge. It worked fine for about a month. I didn't get a new cable, I kept the one I had that worked fine. I plug it in and it just won't charge. I tried other sources like my iPod speaker that also worked fine before. It even plays music through it, which means I know it's connected, but it's not charging! I really do not think that it's the cables. Please help!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- 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.

3rd Gen iPod won't charge with USB connector - Is that normal?

I have the above iPod, and I noticed that when I tried to plug it in to charge it with a newer USB connector it will not charge. It will however, let me update my iTunes music. Is this normal for an older iPod?

I believe that is correct. That iPod was often called the iPod with 'dock connector', and as this chart shows, won't charge via USB.
