What's exactly wrong with my iPod?

I have had my nano since last October, and its been working fine for me until now. When I turn on the iPod, its the old folder with exclamation point. However, the computer doesn't even have an idea it exists, and henceforth won't charge. So I got it to start charging when I put it in disc mode, but only when its in the wall. As well, the battery symbol is the skrewed up one. It also won't charge out of the skrewed up symbol. Every time I plug it into the computer, it says its charging for about half a second, then says OK to disconnect and stops. The iPod updater can't see it, and resseting and strange disc mode combinations don't work. What is wrong with it?

K, I think I've figured out what I need to do to make it work. I'm pretty sure that because the battery is so low, the computer won't recognize it, so I can't restore it. The only problem I have though is that the iPod won't charge. It won't charge in the computer, but when it's in disc mode in the wall, it will. However, it never fully charges in the wall, and I've left it for three days sometimes. Sometimes it looks like it has fully chaged, but the funny battery symbol never relinquishes no matter where it is. Sometimes it also gives me the low battery sign, right after it's just charged for a day or two. And also, if it makes any difference, the iPod, when connected to the computer for the first time, will say "Do not disconnect" and start charging for about half a second, then goes right back.

  • HT201559 What is wrong with my ipod?

    Can anyone help me identify what is wrong with my iPod? One day I tried to unlock it, and nothing happened. The screen is semi frozen, i can still use the screen home button (my original home button is broken) but i cant unlock it or turn it off. Basically i cant do anything that requires sliding my finger across the screen. I receive notifications still, the time changes, and I get alerted right as i plug the charger in. As im writing this I have it updating the software. Im sorry I dont remember exactly what iOS it was, i know it was 8. something. And this is an iPod 5 gen.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What's wrong with my iPod's Cover Flow??

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, 32Gb, and recently updated to IOS 5.
    Since then, the iPod's cover flow feature is extremely slow, doesn't flow smoothly, and crashes after a few (15-20) seconds.
    Today I noted something else: some album covers appear pixelated and blurry, even though HD. Those covers looked just fine until now.
    As a side note, I have in use 30 of the 32 Gb (that's a lot of music, I know). Could this be related? I never had those problems before IOS 5, though.

    Thanks for your help!

    so as I see it people with this problem have 3 options
    - Make all of your album art a maximum of 500X500 pixels
    - Wait for an IOS update that fixes the problem
    - Scrap ipods and buy another brand of music player
    Using photoshop to do it with, it took me about an hour to resize, change, and resync all of my 1400 songs(86 albums)

  • What is wrong with my ipod touch 2nd gen?

    Ive had this iPod since mid 2010. It's running iOS 4.2.1 and it's not jailbroken. A few months ago I encountered a problem with it. It started to fast forward my songs and pause them and skip them as if it had a mind of it's own. I thought it was a one off and it never really happened after that. Yesterday something happened to it which forced it into recovery mode and I had to restore it to factory settings. Today I added some new songs onto it and I starte listening and all I could hear was music and no singing, then I could faintly hear the singing. I thought there was something wrong with the song so I changed it and it was the same with the next one. I've tried 3 different sets of heaphones which all work on other devices so it's not the headphones. So my iPod has kind of turned into a karaoke machine but with some songs it works ok for a while but then messes up. Also I've noticed that the fastforwarding thing has become much much worse after I restored it.
    I'm really stuck. What should I do? Everything else works fine on it. All my apps are ok. Just the music player is stuffed. Could the headphone jack be broken? It worked fine yesterday before I restored it. Should I restore it again? I've already tried restarting and resetting it and neither of them worked. Also I don't have much space left on it, should I take off the movie that ive got on it? Maybe the memory is kind of choked up as well? Thanks for any help guys. As I said pretty much everything works fine on it and I'm trying to not buy a new iPod if I can help it. Oh and sometimes when I'm typing and press the backspace button once or twice it goes and deletes everything on it's own. Things run slow-ish as well. Anyway to improve that? 
    Oh and may I also add when I can hear the singing in the songs sometimes it's normal, sometimes it sounds like they're singing underwater, sometimes it sounds like they're singing live, sometimes it sounds like they're robots...it's not how the songs are meant to sound. They didn't sound like that before and they don't sound like that on my laptop. There's something wrong with my iPod but idk if it's the headphone jack or a software/hardware problem. :/ :(

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • What's wrong with my ipod touch 4g?

    Hello, I am a student who is using MacBook Pro and iPod Touch 4G (32GB)
    To jump to the topic, my liquid crystal of my iPod is broken. No, it's better to say, CRASHED.
    I bought a new protecting film and case for my iPod, and i sticked and covered it.
    Suddenly, the top left corner of my iPod just crashed. I was holding the player with my finger, and it just crashed.
    So, what's wrong with my iPod? I'm pretty sure that it was not my fault. All I did was just holding the iPod with my two fingers and trying to fit the case.
    Next, is there going to be any problem that will occur when I use this?
    I am in China right now, and there are no Apple Store near the place I live. If I want to go, I have to drive there for 3-4 hours. I don't have that much time just fixing iPod. I am going back to Korea in July 2012. So, I'm thinking of just keeping my Pod in this condition until I go back to Korea. But, I'm not sure if there are going to be any problem while I am using this.
    I hope the answer will come very quick, thank you.
    p.s. I just started learning English, and my English is not that good...:p
    p.s. 2 I bought my iPod last year April 2011.

    Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair".
    Note, though, that there is no liquid in an LCD that can leak. That's a myth.
    Regards.

  • I just got a ipod nano 6th gen, and ive been using it for 2 days, and it seems that the battery just lasts about half a day, on playing 1 to 3 songs in intervals of 1-2 hours. Whats wrong with my ipod?

    Your nano would really have nothing to do with it at that point. It is really something between iTunes and whatever server out there on the internet that it is trying to connect to for the update.
    Try posting this one in the iTunes forum, they might have a solution for you.

  • TS1372 does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reported during the restore mode?

    does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reportedduring the restore cycle?

    Double check the connections on each end to make sure they are nice and snug. If possible, plug the Nano into another existing USB 2.0 port. 
    Also, with the iPod still connected, try resetting it. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Then try restoring the iPod again.

    - Try inserting and removing the headphone plug a dozen or so times.

    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.

    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, like a bad headphone jack.

  • What's wrong with my iPod Touch 4?

    Okay, so something's wrong with my iPod. I had other two issues, well, I still have, that led to this problem. My iPod wont turn sideways, even though the Portrait orientation isn't on, and an "Undo Typing" popup keeps appearing on my screen even though I'm not shaking the iPod.
    It would be nice if I got help with that, too?
    But, the main problem is this: While trying to fix those two problems, I "Reset All Settings" in hopes that it'll get fixed. Unfortunately, I just ended up with another problem. After I re-entered the password to the wifi, I went to Skype. I called my best friend, and after about a minute, the wifi left, causing the call to drop. After a few seconds of the call dropping, I decided to call back, thinking it was a one-time thing. Again, the wifi left and the call dropped. It's not only happening with Skype, either. It's happening with wifi-using apps, FaceTime, and Safari. The wifi leaves and comes back. Is there any way to fix this?

    Not looking good. You may have a hardware problem
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • What is wrong with my Ipod charger?

    Ok so I have an iPod 5 latest version and the problem is is that my charger won't work. The first time this happend was about 2 weeks ago. The problem was that when i plugged in my Ipod to charge it wouldn't charger or do anything, when i plugged it into my adapter the light on the adapter would turn off, but when i would unplug the charger it would turn back on. So i eventually bought a new charger and it started working fine for about a week and now it is doing the same thing as my other charger it just wouldn't work. Is there something wrong with my iPod that makes the charger do that, the adapter? I just really need hep with this please? Thanks

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable (yes again). Was the replacement from Apple? The cable is also covered by the one-year warranty.
    - 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.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • What the hecks wrong with my click wheel

    O.K. so every time i turn my ipod off i can hear the click wheel. For example I just randomly spin my click wheel (whene the ipods off) and i hear the clicking noise.
    Whats wrong with it

    The iPod is still in the process of going to sleep. You can put it on hold. The clicking noise should stop after about a minute or two after it has been turned off.
