Shuffle hot to touch, won't hold charge

But it will play if connected via USB post. May one safely assume the battery is toast (and thus the device itself)? No Apple store or service here, so off to the tip if my suspicions are correct. Comments/advice welcome

ipod shuffles do get hot when charging normally
Really? My 2nd generation iPod shuffle (silver, but from the neon color revision) does not get hot at all when charging. It warms up so slightly that you can barely feel it on touch.
but not to hot to touch. Yep too me it sounds like yours is dead for good.
Maybe it isn't broken, but the firmware got corrupted somehow. I'd suggest an attempt to restore it (preferably with the iPod Reset Utility) before giving up on it.

  • HT1384 iPod touch won't hold charge

    iPod touch, 1yr old, doesn't hold charge when not in use for couple days.  Is it possible that something is running in the background and
    If so how would I check?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order
    To extend battery life see:
    Apple - Batteries - iPod
    It is not unusual for the an iPod left in sleep mode with wifi on to discharge fully in a day or so.

    my ipod touch won't hold a charge and gets really hot when im using it. what is going on?

    Likely that the battery is dead.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm. Apple will replace the battery for this price:

    There are third-party places which may be less expensive.  Here is one. Google for more.

    iPod touch 2nd G won't hold charge. Restore does not help. Removed all apps and it still discharges even if not turned on and used for anythig. What gives?

    If it is warranty, bring it back to the Genius bar and insist on a replacement.  If out of warranty, you can get a replacement iPod with a new battery for $79 at the genius bar.

  • My iPod touch won't hold a charge since 1.1.3 update

    After the 1.1.3 update, I purchased the iPhone apps for my iPod touch and also added 6 webpage addresses to my home screen. There is two pages on my homescreen. I also added two email accounts, one using yahoo, and one using msn, going through izymail. since the update, my iPod won't hold a charge at all. I haven't really used it yet, but once or twice during the day I check my mail, and other than that it is off. They battery constantly drains, If it is full, it will lose batter life in about a day, just sitting on my night stand turned off. No music or videos are left playing. Is something with the update or my iPod, can I fix it? Oh, I change it from an apple usb wall charger, and I got my iPod at christmas.
    Thanks

    You say your turning it off does that mean you are holding in the sleep button and sliding the unit off or does it mean you are just locking the unit with the screen off?
    If you have the Wifi enabled and only have the IPT in standby mode then this is why it's depleting the battery so quickly. Charge the unit till it's full with the little plug showing and then eject it and turn off wifi and leave the unit in standby overnight and see if the battery depletes at all.
    I've noticed that Wifi really ***** the life out of the battery very quickly so give it a try and report back to us.

  • IPod Touch (5th Gen) Battery Won't Hold Charge

    After the last update my iPod Touch 5th Gen will not hold a charge. I haven't had any problems with it until this 8.1.1 update. Yesterday I charged the battery up to full charge and  used it briefly to listen to music in my car however here it is the next day and the battery is dead again. It is NOT playing while not in my car. Meaning nothing should be running the battery down because it's not being used.  I know it's not playing because the volume is set to half way so I'd undoubtedly hear it if it was playing.  It just won't hold a charge and for no apparent reason. Any suggestions?

  • Ipod 3rd Gen won't hold charge

    I got a 3rd generation Ipod used for my sister for christmas, but it is having problems that I'm worried about.
    First of all, it won't charge through the usb cord hooked up to the computer. It does recognize it in ITUNES but it won't charge. I hooked it up to a wall charger, and it charges fine but it won't hold a charge for more than 10 minutes!!! Any help?

    3rd generation iPods don't charge over USB.
    If the wall charger is USB, it won't charge the iPod either.
    You will need to purchase a Firewire wall charger.

  • Ipod classic won't hold charge

    My apple ipod classic which is just a yr or two old won't hold a charge.  The battery icon has a lightning bolt in it so it says its charging but it won't hold a charge.  Any ideas?

    It sounds your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.  You can have Apple service it at a flat rate or you can find a third party repair site who can do it for much less.

  • Torch 9850 won't hold charge after OS update

    I updated my blackberry last Wednesday with the latest OS (7.1), and since then, my phone won't hold a charge.  I started noticing it on Thursday, and it's progressively gotten worse.  A full charge will last only about 4 hours.  I've changed the battery out for a new one, but to no avail.  The phone won't hold a charge.  It will, however, still charge with either battery (the old and the new), and after it's charged (after being totally dead) it will turn on, andit will connect to Blackberry desktop software.  It just won't hold the charge.  Please help...what can I do???  Note: I live in Mexico, and have no warranty, so I can't return the phone.  So please, someone help with ideas that don't include getting a new phone, if it's possible.  Thanks!!!
