New iPod Touch will not fully charge

I bought 2 8 gig iPod Touchs for my kids this Christmas.
One of them is fine, but, the other seems to lose the charge faster. And, it shows the plug icon to show a full charge, but, when it is unplugged it immediately shows the battery slightly discharged.
If I return it to the store for a replacement, do I have to deactivate the old one from my itunes account?
If so how do I do that?
Thanks
Carlos

You may be correct in your evaluation of the charges of your iPods. However, just to be sure, do this with the problematic one:
1. Discharge the battery to 20% or charge or thereabouts
2. Recharge completely from a wall plug.
This should reset the charge levels for a fully functioning unit. Also, I'm sure you realize that internet use and gaming on the Touch can drain the battery more quickly than more conservative battery use.
If your attempts to solve the battery problem still fails, you should bring it back to the Apple Store for repair or replacement. You won't have to deactivate the problematic Touch; all the information should be on iTunes.

  • My new ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.

    My new Ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.  My two laptops, and Ipad are already on.  I have tried resetting and still it will not sync.

    What happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi? Any error messages? Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, work through the remaining troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document.

  • New iPod touch will not load app store or iTunes.....safari is working fine. Also software update says it is going to take 49 hours??? Can anyone help?

    My new iPod touch is not letting me open the app store or iTunes. Safari is working fine. Also my iPad and iPhone are working fine. Wifi is connected. The software update is also taking forever on iPod, it says it will take 49 hours. Should it take that long? I have tried resetting, turning on and off, making date and time right etc. the first day we got the iPod touch the app store worked but not since.

    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Typically, the download speeds up. You can try when connected to another network

  • IPod touch will not stay charged

    My newish ipod touch will not hold a charge. I make sure all apps are closed, and turn it off and just sitting unused it will be dead within a day. Help?

    If by "off" do you just mean asleep with wifi on?  That is not that unusual with iOS 5. To increase battery life see:

  • New IPod Touch will not sync with Itunes-updated to iOS 7.1.1 for new IPod

    Just purchased new IPod Touch (purchased 6-3-14 - had a Classic until it fried). After setting it up, I tried to sync to ITunes and it says it syncs but does nothing. No music transferred to IPod. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 if that means anything. This is very frustrating as I am not a computer whiz and really want to use my IPod in my really long commutes to work. Thanks for any insight...

    Hi abbeyesque,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your iPod touch is recognized and syncing, but it isn't transferring the content that you expect to be transferred. Take a look at the article linked below, it will show you how to select the iPhone in iTunes and where the tabs are (second picture) that control what is synced to the iPod.
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Sync using USB
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
    Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
    Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.

  • New IPod Touch will not show up on iTunes

    Hello,
    I just purchased an iPod Touch for my son. When we turned it on, it asked to connect to iTunes. I then started iTunes and was told to update it, which I did, after which I connected the IPod. iTunes would not recognize the iPod Touch. We then uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, with the same problem. So effectively I now have a new iPod Touch in the first phase of getting it to work.
    I've checked the drivers, and they are fine
    I've checked the Apple services and they are running fine
    I've shut down nearly all programs that commence on startup, and the iPod will still not show up
    I've used all USB ports on my computer, still no response.
    I've rebooted the computer numerous times, it still does not show up.
    Thanks in advance for any advise that you can give.
    Is there a known problem with Vista???

  • New Ipod Touch will not play in BMW

    I have a new Ipod touch that I bought from Apple. My 2010 BMW 128c will not recognized this Ipod touch or my wifes Ipod touch. It will recognize the one I bought my son at Best Buy. It also would not work with my previous BMW X5. I am using the adapter cable that came with the BMW. I work for BMW and they don't have any ideas. Is there a setting on Ipod touch that I need to turn on.

    The problem may very well be the OS version you're using (3.0 or later). There were many reports of problems when Apple introduced 3.0 and it has been a problem ever since. In my case, when I changed from 2.2.1 to 3.0 my '09 Honda Fit lost the ability to select Artists, Playlists, etc. (but at least it plays). I was able to step back to 2.2.1 for awhile and it functioned correctly, but I decided to go back to 3.x once I realized that Apple wasn't going to fix this, and I wanted some of the 3.x features. I recall seeing that BMW, Mercedes, and a few other accessories were affected.
    If your son's Touch works OK in your BMW, what OS version does he have? Chances are that it is version 1 or 2. You can blame Apple, but it may also be accessory manufacturers not following Apple's standards -- we'll never know, but one thing for sure is that this issue does not have Apple's attention since the problem remains after multiple OS releases since 3.0.

  • New Ipod Touch will not sync correctly

    I had an Ipod Classic that was recently stolen, apparently by AirTran employees.  Anyway, I got a new iPod Touch to replace it and it will not sync.
    There are problems even getting it to connect.  The first time I got it connected, I thought it synced.  I could see the list of songs, but I couldn't get any of them to play.  I finally realized that they were greyed out and not clickable.
    I hooked back up to iTunes and tried again.  It seems like it is syncing some songs, but times out. 
    Apple Support said to disable the antivirus and firewall on my Windows 7 PC.  This does seem to help some, but it doesn't solve the problem.  I've gotten a lot more songs synced, but not all of them.  It syncs some of them and then stops. 
    What is more, it always gives a different number of songs to sync.  It has been as high as 900+ and is now down to 121 of 229 and frozen again.  Total songs in my library is about 3000.  I'm guessing that the number (229) is the remaining number of unsynced songs, but I'm not sure.  At times it seems almost random.
    Sometimes the sync just stops and sometimes iTunes totally freezes as it has now.  I have the most up-to-date version of iTunes.  I reinstalled it yesterday when I was having problems with my iPad (a totally different issue:  It crashed after I installed OS 5.  That is fixed now though.)

    I have run into that problem before, but that is not what I'm currently seeing.
    As an update, I finally did get the iPod to sync.  It would time out after syncing for a while, but with repeated syncs it finally loaded my full collection of music, etc.
    A recurring problem is that when I want to sync, often the iPod will not show up as being connected to iTunes even though it is connected to the computer.  It often takes multiple attempts at connecting and rebooting to get connected so that I can sync.

  • New iPod Touch will not pair with New Resound Linx hearing aid

    Greetings
    Received a new pair of hearing aids aweek ago,  Resound Linx.  Very nice indeed.
    Days after I purchase a New iPod Touch, down loaded all updates and the Resound Smart app.
    Followed instructions to the letter but am unable to pair the hearing aids with the iPod.
    Hearing aids work fine and have fresh batteries.  Bluetooth turned on, iPod continues to search
    but can not find hearing aids.  Has anyone had this problem, can anyone offer any suggestions.
    Many Thanks

  • My new Ipod touch will not sync movies and tv shows from Itunes

    When I try to transfer movies and tv shows I bought from Itunes I get the message saying that my device is not compatible.
    I have been on the phone to Itune support for about 30hours++ . I have been reissued a new Ipod touch but this problem is reoccuring.
    I registered my new Ipod touch under another account but I have activated home sharing on my computer.
    Can anyone suggest anything that Apple support cannot solve Thanks

  • Brand new ipod touch will not sync?

    Bought a brand new ipod touch.  Tried to sync to iTunes on my computer.  Checked all music in library, clicked sync, ipod says it is syncing, computer says sync is complete, but there is no music on the ipod.  Have repeated process a dozen times.  Have tried automatic sync and manual sync.  Have disconnected, reconnected.  Have restarted both devices and tried again.  No error message, gigabytes show nearly nothing used up, on the computer and on the ipod, even after it says the sync was successful/is complete.  Argh, help!?

    Hi jen,
    When you say all of the Music is checked, do you mean checked in the library? When you hook up your iPod to the computer, you also have to make sure that the "Sync Music" box is checked on the Music tab for the Device Profile....
    Cheers,

  • New ipod touch will not charge with car stereo anymore

    I recently got an iPod Touch and when I plug it in to my car stereo it says that "charging is not supported with this accessory". I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that the new IPT do not charge with firewire.
    I'm having the same problem with a USB 2.0 extension cord I bought. this one I don't understand because it is supposed to be USB and not firewire. I've tried plugging that in to the wall with a usb wall charger but I get the same thing, so it's not an issue of there not being enough power.
    As far as my car is concerned, the cable has a regular ipod connection. I look up firewire to USB converters but they all have a female firewire (small odd shaped holes) connection, so I couldn't plug my cable in to it. Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this situation so that my ipod will charge while it is plugged in?

    You have identified a problem that has been around since the iPod touch came out (also effects the latest generation nanos). Go to your local big box store and by yourself a new charger that is compatible with the touch.
