What does it mean if my ipod charges only when its off

ok my ipod charges only when its off , ex.i plug my charger in while its on but it doesnt charge at all, not even if i put it in the pc  usb ports.However wheni put the chargerr in the ipod and turn it off, then come back an hour later or so it is charged up.Anybody knows what does it mean when it does that.keep in mind the ipod doesnt charge whille its on.

It means that when your ipad is running with your charger connected, it is using about as much electrical energy as your charger is supplying to your battery.  When your ipad is shut down there are no apps or programs running so all of the charger's output is devoted to recharging the battery.  Your ipod battery may be running down a bit because of age, or you could possibly have too many apps running at the same time.  Running gamming applications uses quite a bit of power.  I'm making the assumption that your charger is functioning properly.  Also, charging via the USB port on your computer is not as efficient as using your wall charger since the charging current provided by the computer usb port is a bit less than the wall charger.  If you use an iPad wall charger it will provide more charging current and therefor would be more effective.

  • If a buddy's screename is faded (in the offline section), but a video icon is still next to the screename, and if you right click on the name "video chat" is an option, what does this mean? it is the only one on my whole list that has this.

    Hi,
    It could be some sort of "flagging" issue where either the AIM Servers have gone out of sync and you are getting two lots of info  (There are about three or four servers involved with getting data to your Buddy list)
    I can also see the possibility where you have a Contact in your Address Book who has two Screen Names.
    You have one in one group and in another they appear to be Off Line.  However iChat will still Link them and Show their Capabilities when you Right Click.
    One way of checking this is to double click them to open a Text Chat Window.
    At the top is the Recipients Bar  (See View Menu when  Text Chat is Open).
    This gives you the option to chose a different Buddy Name if the contact has two  (It offers To and From options if you both have Multiple Accounts).
    Pic of an Old Chat to someone with Multiple "Names"
    They have an @Mac.com name and  Jabber ID  (As it is an Old Chat the Jabber one is Off Line and their @mac.com name is currently "Away"
    You can see I have a Google and three AIM Logins I could use to Speak to them.

  • 5G iPod, Charges only when connectec to Mac

    My subject pretty much describes it all. After months of working perfectly, all of a sudden I noticed my iPod wasn't charging with my car adapter.
    I bought a new adapter, and still no luck. Won't even just power the iPod, it'll go from the charging screen, load, show my library, and then alert me that there's not enough power remaining. What's more, my sister's iPod charges just fine with either of my adapters. Her adapter, however, doesn't work with my iPod.
    Fine, so it's definately something with my iPod--but why does it charge when it's connected to the computer? That's what's weird. I even took the USB connector out to my newly-purchased FM Modulator with a USB input for charging and listening-- just like the dock connector, it doesn't do a thing.
    Anyone have any insight before I just try reformatting the stupid thing?

    Hello MacRez,
    I hope that you have a backup for your iPod, iPod not being recongnized is a common error, I am not an expert but I believe that it happens more often with connecting with a PC rather than a Mac. If you are not going to connect with a PC in the future, it is better for you to restore the iPod updater in Mac version. At this stage I understand that your Ipod cnat be recongnized, however, you can try to put it in Disk Mode, and connect with your Mac, and hope that you wil be able to see your ipod's icon on your desktop. Then do a format (erase) with Disk Utility followed by a restore of the latest iPod updater.

              This means that the transaction initiator has not received replies for some of
              the transactional requests when the transaction commits, i.e. the checked transaction
              behavior is violated. WLS TM enforces checked transaction behavior to make sure
              that all work done in the transaction context will be completed before transaction
              is committed. If it cannot make such guarantee due to outstanding replies, it
              aborts the commit right away.
              Currently, there is no provisions for dumping the requests whose replies are still
              pending.

  • What does exe mean? It keeps popping up when I try to downlown adobe elements13/photoshop?

    I have a windows computer.(64 bit). When I download my adobe elements 13 and photoshop it doesn't pop up. It seems like part of the download is missing. And when I look at the file exe is at the end of it. Isn't that bad? How do I make sure the whole file downloads?

    exe is a file type, it basically means "executable" (basically a program that can run and effect changes on a machine) which under abnormal circumstances is not something you want to touch... abnormal being something like you get an unsolicited email with a file attachment bearing the exe file type.  But for an Adobe download (and many others as well) it is necessary for a Windows machine.  You run it to initiate the installation of the software.

  • Kernel - "Previous Sleep Cause: -60"  - WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

    Occasionally my macbook will simply 'black screen' itself, putting itself to sleep while im using it....
    waiting a while and closing/opening the screen wakes it but i cant figure out whats causing it...
    the console gives me(i think) the following reasoning...but i cant find a 'sleep cause' list of the error codes...
    one of these was:
    "5/12/08 6:06:54 PM kernel Previous Sleep Cause: -60 "
    what does this mean? it seems to only happen on battery but its annoying me ....
    any help?

    Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
    If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
