Screen has been saying "charging please wait" for days

My 160g Ipod Classic shows the screen: Charging, Please Wait..."
I charged my ipod overnight in a wall charger and my mac and it did not turn on.
I left it charging throughout the day but when ever I look at it it still says charging please wait.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Hello jwert88,
And welcome to  Discussions!
It sounds like the battery is shot. You can have it replaced by Apple or third party repair company at a much lower cost or you could always replace it yourself.
A Google search for iPod battery replacement should give you a plethora of results.

I'm trying to manually activate my jet pack, but when I connect to 'my.jetpack' the screen has been saying it's activating for over an hour now.

It is just stuck at the activating screen on my jet pack and my.jetpack. I've tried restarting it, using a different browser, connecting to 192.168.1.1, and connecting it by tether and wireless.

Hello mcyork.
I'm sorry you are experiencing a delay when activating your Jetpack. Because you are using a Jetpack, it is important to ensure that your SIM card is correctly installed. Which model Jetpack do you have? If you are still unable to activate the device, please try powering down and removing and reinserting the LTE SIM card. Please keep us updated.

Have you tried charging it with another known working USB sync cable? After letting it sit to "charge" for at least 30 minutes, have you tried resetting the device by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

My new iphone 6 plus has been restoring from iCloud backup for days. I do not have all my apps or music yet

my new iphone 6 plus has been restoring from iCloud backup for days. I do not have all my apps or music yet. How do I fix it?

Hello Bernharp,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 6 Plus is taking a long time to restore from an iCloud backup. I can understand why you'd be concerned after several days of waiting.
This might happen if your backup contains a lot of content such as pictures or your Wi-Fi connection isn't consistent.
If the restore still hasn't completed, take a look at the information in the "Restoring my device from an iCloud backup is taking a long time" and "A message says restore incomplete or some items could not be restored" sections of this Support article:
If you need help restoring from an iCloud backup - Apple Support

My email (gmail, actually) has been crashing on my ipad for days! There are over one hundred emails that I haven't been able to see!! HELP!!!!

Hi! I am hoping someone out there has an idea of what I can do to end this recurring problem! It happened before, when I first did the latest upgrade...but, it seemed to resolve itself...now, it happened again! This time, it has not resolved...now, I fear I will need to pay to get it fixed...or buy a new one, which I can not afford. (It is a iPad 2, but all I need)

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

You may be better off asking your email provider what the issue is.

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

Hi Cara154,
If you are having issues receiving the email verification for your security questions, you may find the following article helpful:
When you provide a rescue email address during Apple ID creation, you will receive an email from Apple to verify that the email address provided is accurate. If you don't see an email from Apple asking you to verify your rescue email address, you may want to check your SPAM folder. If you still haven't received the email from Apple, you can sign in to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) to resend your rescue email address. To resend your verification email, click on Password & Security. Then, click the Resend link located in the Rescue Email Address section.

The icon, I believe is for the voicemail APP, Visual Voicemail, that carries a subscription charge - it is not the same as your *86 standard voicemail.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=55911 shows the icon (is that what you are seeing?) and http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=56168 gives details on activating Visual Voicemail. If yo uonly have standard voicemail, then : http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=55976 is how you access it.

The powering off screen has been up for 10 minutes

What am i suppose to do when the powering off screen has been up for 10 minutes?

If what Illaass's instruction didn't work, attempt these instructions;
To do a recovery mode restore, follow instructions as follows:
-Connect cable to computer but not device
-Open iTunes on computer
-Power off device
-Hold circle (Home) button
-continue to hold the power button while connecting the cable
-continue holding after cable is connected, until you receive a notice in iTunes that says;
"iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode, you need to restore the device before it can be used with iTuens"
-Click ok to this message
-click restore and wait for the restore to complete

When entering my phone serial number it shows "We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us."

Hi,
I had purchased an iPhone 5 last month and got the OS updated to iOS 7, yesterday.
The data cable was of very bad quality and when I took it to the retailer for replacement, they said that its not covered under the one year warranty.
Secondly, I have also been experiencing network coverage issues with this phone. So, I decided to contact apple care through the web. When entering my serial number/IMEI it says, "We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us."
Does anybody have any idea what the reason behind this could be.
- First time with iPhone and frustrated.

If you purchased the iPhone from Apple or an authorized Apple reseller,
contact them for assistance. If you purchased elsewhere, go back
to that retailer and get them to give you a new iPhone or your money
back.
If you have checked the serial number carefully and re-entered it
and that gave you the same error message, contact Apple if purchased
from Apple or authorized retailer; otherwise you have been scammed
and need to pursue the matter with the business you obtained the
iPhone from.

For a while now my computer has been saying " Start up disk is nearly full", however I don't have a lot of stuff saved on the computer I moved a lot to a flash drive, and all the other stuff are songs and recently saved essays for school. Help.

For a while now my computer has been saying " Start up disk is nearly full", however I don't have a lot of stuff saved on the computer I moved a lot to a flash drive, and all the other stuff are songs and recently saved essays for school. I have and frequently empty my trash can. I have researched this before and i see a lot of things that say get a external hard drive, but before I go and purchase one I want to make sure there is no other, simpler way, to solve this problem. Help Please.

You need an external drive so you can free up disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
