Red Light To Dead iPod

My friend's iPod shffle turned red when it was turned on. It was shut off and turned back on and then the light was green and worked fine. 20 min. later while playing a song it completely died and refused to turn on. They have tried a restore and they have the current software. It was purchased 3 months ago. This happened with their last shuffle (same symptoms same ipod)(a 2nd gen 1gb) after a year. Is there a way to fix this? Or do they need a new shuffle?

Based on what you described I would first say a battery charging issue (from status lights in the manual). A problem charging could be related to a number of issues such as bad battery pack, bad dock connection, bad cable, etc.
I just fixed a 2nd gen Shuffle for a friend. At power on it displayed red light then wouldn't power up. When attempting to connect to the computer it would not show up in iTunes. When I tested the unit and dock I found the jack on the dock was damaged.

Help me - iPod Shuffle 4th gen is probably dead - red light for 5 seconds

Hello,
sorry for my bad english. I hope you can help me.
I have iPod Shuffle 4th gen. I have it for one year. When I today tried to charge it, after connected to my PC (in the right USB port) I heard sound of connecting device but in Windows in My Computer nothing happened. On the iPod the diode emitted the red light for 5 seconds and then turned off. I have iTunes and iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod too.
Does anybody know what is wrong?
Thanks

Hey StatistaXS,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like your iPod shuffle may have had a very low charge when connecting to your computer:
iPod shuffle: Checking the battery charge - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1510
If the iPod does not turn on after charging for an acceptable amount of time, it may need to be serviced. But first, check out the relative steps in this resource:

Ipod shuffle 4th generation device not shown on itunes, not charging. Seeing red light when connecting to USB charger for a few seconds, then nothing. How to fix this?

My ipod shuffle 4th generation was working fine for a few months. My son then bit the USB charger. I bought a new USB charger, but the shuffle is not charging and not showing up under the devices in itunes. It also doesn't appear in my windows under my computer. Just to note. I also have a new ipod touch. I am able to charge that fine on the same computer using the USB charger. The device (Ipod touch) does show up in windows and in itunes. The shuffle doesn't show in either place.
I have tried to use the apple support page. I went through each step. I made all of my USB drives not shut down, I had my computer on all night to try and charge the shuffle. All I see is a red light that appears on the shuffle for a few seconds when I first connect the USB charger to the computer. Then, nothing. Since this was working a bit ago, I don't think that I have a defective shuffle. The USB charger is brand new, I just picked it up yesterday from the apple store. I have the short one, and the longer cable as well.
Any help that you might be able to give to me would be much appreciated. My daughter is missing listening to her music. Thanks!

Instead of "charger," you should call it the "USB cable" to avoid confusion. When started reading your post, I was thinking, how can your son break a USB power adapter (the "charger" that plugs into a wall socket) by biting it...
Since you got the product with the two USB cables at the Apple Store, you have the right replacement (some third-party replacements are for the 2nd gen shuffle and do not work with the 4th gen shuffle). Make sure you are completely inserting the plug into the headphones jack. The fit may be tighter than expected, since the connectors are new.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
If you tried both of those cables, it would be unlikely that you got two faulty cables in one package. If a new USB device has been added to the computer between the time it worked with the old cable and now, there could be a problem on the USB bus (such as not enough power or a device conflict).
As a test, you should shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle by itself to a direct USB port on the computer.

Xperia z2 dead , red light blinking when connected to usb charging cable

My phone is totally dead, i cant do anything power button + volume up button , force restart button near the sim , and nothing happens , also when i connect to a usb charger the red light is blinking all the time . Please HELP ME i need my xperia z2 back to live....

Hi,
For how long time have the phone been connected to the charger? If the LED is blinking red, it sounds like the battery is completely flat. Thereby it can take a longer time before the phone indicates charging and/or powers on. I suggest that you connect the phone to the charger via wall socket and let it charge for 1-2 hours.

IPhone dead and won't charge - strange dim red light

Good morning,
I was talking with my sister last night when my IPhone phone shut off. I assumed that my battery died so I put it on the charger. When I went back to get my phone off the charger I noticed that it did not charge at all. I tried doing a reset holding down the home key and the shut off key together and it still won't turn on. I left it on the charger overnight and this morning it is still dead. I noticed this morning in the dark that I can see a very low dim red light by the ear piece speaker at the top of the phone.
At this point, I am at a complete loss. I have no idea what to do. We leave on vacation tomorrow and at this point, I have no phone. Very scary for me since we are going to Florida and my oldest daughter is going to California. I need to be in contact with her while she is gone. Any help and good news is much needed!
Thank you so much for taking time to read this post!
Sincerely,
Angela

I would say when an iPhone normally dies it when plugged in does eventually give you an icon like an empty battery indicator then later I would say it turns on with an apple. If your under warrenty or with any extended warrenty insurance. I would call Verizon and say that your phone won't turn on at all and you want a replacement . It should take a day to get or go to apple and ask to replace.

Someone who can help me please. I have a Ipod Shuffle 4th generation and it gives me a red light and i cant use it. What i have to do?

It give me red light for 3 seconds and Itunes and my computer dont reconize my ipod and i dont know what to do

Did this shuffle previously work with this computer, and does not now for some reason? Or is this the first time you are using this shuffle with this computer?
If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter, so that it is not running on battery power.
As as test, shut down (power off) the computer, and disconnect all USB devices (you can leave standard keyboard/mouse connected if used). Do this to Reset the shuffle

Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer, by itself.

IPod Shuffle 3rd Gen Red Light?

I just plugged in my old iPod Shuffle to my MacBook, and there is a solid red light, and it says Preparing iPod for Restore, then goes away, or it says that, then brings up an Error 2005. Any thoughts? It's not under warrenty still, so I was wondering if anybody knows why it's doing this.

I live at the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store. I have had my 2 Ipod shuffles replaced so many times, I've lost track. Typically, they work for awhile, then I
get a blinking red light, then they die. I bought a charger, which works for awhile but then, inevitably, they die.
The Genius Store response? When they die, bring'um back! We'll keep replacing them.
I can't begin to describe the incredible frustration I feel with this product.
I want to switch to another MP3 player, but I've invested a lot of dough in Itunes.
As I write this, I'm looking at my shuffle, forlornly sitting in its dock, connected to my wall charger, no lights at all.

Iphone 4 dead, red light above the speaker

hey, my iphone suddenly died yesterday. i was texting, browsing normally and couple of minutes later it was dead (battery was almost full). i tried hard reseting it, connecting it to my mba and nothing, itunes doesnt even recognize it. couple of hours later i saw this red light above the speaker and after some googleing i found this discussion
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16706124#16706124
where it says that the red light means my iphone was damaged by water. the only thing i dont get here is HOW since i havent dropped it, nor used it outside in the rain haha. i am kind of confused because i dont know if its dead or not. right now it's resting in a zip bag full of rice but i dont get it. could someone help me? thanx
i mean, its an iphone 4, ive been using it for years and this is the first time this happens, battery works great, phone works great i dont wanna change it. the only good thing is that it's helping with my addiction to internet hahhaa, first 20hours were baaaaad. thank you

Hey there lildl110,
Let's get that iPhone 4 to cool down. It sounds like the phone overheated and needed a bit of a rest. Is it still too hot to touch? If you've given it some time to cool down please try the restart method,http://vz.to/1ciOvXw.

My 2nd generation Ipod red light stays on

I got a 2nd Generation Ipod Shuffle, and it was fantastic up until now.
It was docked and the green light was on, So i ejected it, and the green light just stayed on. The ipod was off, up until i turned it on after removing it from the dock. Shortly after my ipod's light turned red and isn't recognized by itunes anymore. The light just stays red and doesn't shut off whether the ipod is on or off. I put the ipod back on the dock hoping that something would happen but it just stays the same. i turn the ipod on, and nothing happens whatsoever. the red light just stays on and nothing happens.
Something is obviously wrong with my ipod, can someone please help me?! I'm extremely frusterated by this, it worked just fine, and i plugged it in to charge it and ever since then it hasn't been the same.

That shouldn't be happening.
IF you have an Apple Store within reasonable distance take it there for a replacement OR contact Apple:

Playbook is dead with a blinking red light

My playbook went dead and does not come back even if I charge it for 24h.
If I push the start bottom a blinking red light come up. I try to re-boot it pushing all bottoms and does not work.
Also I have tried to dowload new software through my laptop but never complete it and get stuck in the middle.
Any idea anyone???
Thanks,

Many others have had this problem - first thing to do is check to make sure your are using the charger that came with your PlayBook. Also check the threads at the top of forum for oft-asked questions. For your convenience here is a link that might help. Good luck.
