Wall Charge Icon appears, doesn't do anything else do

I just bought this 20 gig iPod used. I connected it to my mac and everything was good. It started to sync but I stopped it to restore it to factory settings. Then I had to download some update. So after it updated, the wall charge icon appeared. I've left it charging for the past hour and the icon hasn't changed since. Any help?

It seems your iPod have not get charged via the ac charger. Try to do a reset and connect with the ac charger. I could be wrong, the some of the early iPod model cant be charged via usb cable. Can you bring your iPod to the shop and try with the Firewire Power adapter, and see it works

HELP! 40GB photo ipod "wall charger" icon..

I am not sure what generation my photo ipod is but I got it a year or two ago so I am assuming it is a 4th generation one. All of my songs were deleted and now has the "plug to wall charger" icon. The problem is, I don't have a wall charger anymore. Would I need to buy one or does anyone know of any other methods I can go through to fix it? I been charging my ipod through the usb/computer.
Please help. I am too broke to afford to buy a new one! I love my ipod dearly!

I purchased a refurbished 4th generation HP branded Apple iPod for my friend today. When I was setting it up for him I noticed it was formatted for Windows and he uses a Mac, like me. To change it to Mac-format, so he could install firmware updates, I restored the iPod in iTunes. I've done this a number of times with my Mac and my iPod Mini, however with a firewire cable. I didn't know that if you restore this generation iPod with a USB connection, you need to connect it to a wall charger afterwards to complete the firmware update.
HP did not ship this iPod with a firewire cable or a power adapter. It was asking to be connected to a wall adapter but we did not have one. We bought a car power adapter, but this didn't work. We tried inserting the USB cable half-way, but that did not work either. What finally worked was taking the iPod to a Radio Shack and plugging it into an iPod clock radio/boombox type device; the firmware installed, the iPod rebooted, and we have a Mac-formatted iPod working perfectly now.
No amount of resetting or attempts to put the iPod in disk mode prior to this would work. Hope this helps someone.

Screen shows dim 'charged' icon - ipod doesn't sleep properly

I am having the same issue as described in the thread below and see no answer there. I can fully charge my ipod and it plays, etc. fine. When I try to put it to sleep, it goes black for a second and the comes back to dim with the "charged" icon on the display. When I am playing a song, the upper right shows that the Ipod is plugged in even though it is not. If I leave it unplugged overnight, the battery is completely dead. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you first done a reset? The followed by a Restore if the reset does work?
After that, next thing to check is the dock connector on the bottom of your iPod. Dirt, debris, sweat, etc. on the dock connector pins can cause shorts that will fool the iPod into thinking it is connected and charging. So inspect the bottom connector for damage of bits of things stuck to it. You might also try cleaning the connector gently with a small brush or lint free cloth.

When Firefox shows me an update and asks if I'd like to update, I click continue, but it doesn't update. It just goes to a "software update" window and says "connecting to the update server..." and then doesn't do anything else. It never updates. HELP!

When I sign on to Firefox, a "Software Update" pops up and asks if I'd like to update Firefox. I click Yes/Continue and when I do, the page says "Downloading Firefox" - connecting to the update server... - but it never finishes. It continually shows the blue/white striped line.

Start at '''http://www.mozilla.com''' and download the latest
version. At the completion of the download '''don't let the setup
start Firefox for you''', when the setup ends, start Firefox in your
normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.
The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time
Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts.
:Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
:On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
:On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit
'''Permission errors on Mac:'''
"If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest

HTTPMail Doesn't Work, Anything Else?

So I used the httpmail plugin for a few weeks and it stopped being able to send out. I believe I have the correct STMP, services.msn.com, but it won't connect to it.
Is there another way to access my hotmail account in Mail?
I really don't want to pay for Hotmail Plus, because Microsoft is lame.
Are there any other plugins? I've heard about running a stand alone program but that's strange. Do they work?
Any ideas people?

I had the same problem....then I figured out what I was doing wrong. The SMTP needs to be your ISP's address. For example, if you have DSL through Verizon, the address needs to be "outgoing.verizon.net:yourISP_email_username".
If you don't know your ISP's SMTP, just call them and they will walk you through it.
Hope that helps!!!

hi i use an old black 60G photo/video ipod. Suddenly it won't recharge, when connected to the pc it emits several cicks in serires and then it shows at intervals a low battery signs and another sign, a sad faced ipod icon with the apple support email address. Any clues and to how I can rescue it? Thank you very much. Alf1962

I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

Updated software-do I need to buy a wall charger????

I only have a usb cable to charge my ipod by. Itunes asked me if I wanted to update the software-I clicked yes, but then, after it was done, it told me that I needed to unplug it from my computer and put it in the wall charger-and it will not do anything but show me a picture of a plug and a wall-if I try to reset it, it shows a pic that shows that it is not charged! I have hunted around the apple site, but cannot find anything that addresses this.
do I need to go and buy a wall charger?
Is there another way to take care of this (preferable at the moment!)??
HELP!

Yes, but not via a firewire port as was mentioned.
When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see this icon displayed.
It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
Or you can try this.
No power adaptor? Try this.
Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.
You need to do this because you have (according to your signature) a 4th gen iPod. This is not an iPod Classic (which is the forum you are posting in).

HT4310 why can I see a battery charging icon on one computer when my 4th generation ipod is connected, but not on another computer ?

I have a fourth generation ipod. when I plug it into my windows 7 pc at work, the battery charge icon appears. when i plug the same ipod into my windows 7 pc at home, no battery charging icon appears. any way to get it to show?

Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port at home? Do you have any other devices that are connected via USB on your PC at home?
I assume you are using the same cable you used to plug the Shuffle in at work?

Wall outlet icon won't go away

The wall outlet icon appeared and I've plugged it in for hours. When I reset, the wall outlet icon appears again. My computer does not recognize that I have my ipod plugged in...thoughts

First try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the AC adapter.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Also try Resetting it while connected to the PC.
