When I connect my ipod to my computer, it shuts off

Hi,
I've been having trouble with my iPod, hope someone here can help.
When I turned my computer on this morning my ipod was still connected from last night. Today, however, the iPod icon didn't show up on my computer, and when I tried to disconnect/reconnect the iPod it started to turn on, clicked a few times, then gave the no battery sign and turned back off. I've reset it and it still says no batteries and turns back off. I've reset it both connected and disconnected. I'm running out of ideas!
any help would be appreciated

well i managed to get my hands on a regular ipod charger, not the computer, and the ipod turned on fine. it will even connect to a computer & do its hard drive thing. but once i disconnect it from a power supply it says it's out of battery and won't play music, nothing. I'm used to a 24 hour battery life. this is very disappointing. I've upgraded the software. any other suggestions very welcome.

  • When i connect my iPod to my computer it does not sync fully. Some songs in the library have an ! next to them. Apple have just replaced my original one as the battery was failing. Any suggestions?

    When i connect my iPod to the computer it does not fully sync. Some of the songs in the library are marked with an ! and it says the songs cannot be found but when the iPod is not connected they are all there. Any ideas? Thanks

    I had this problem before. What I did (which is good advice to anyone with electronic copies of music) is to back up all my music to an external hard drive. I then deleted all music from iTunes and copied back across from my external hard drive. Just make sure that under Preferences - Advanced in iTunes, you have iTunes Media folder location set as your C: drive, tick the boxes for "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library".

  • HT1386 When I connect my iPod to my computer and try to sync Apps from my computer to the iPod, a warning comes up saying that I will lose all my existing Apps. Please help

    I have got a new computer and i can no longer do a full sync. Apple always tells me I will lose all my exisiting Apps if I do a new sync. I prefer to purchase Apps on my computer over my iPod because of the smaller iPod. The new computer is recognized by Apple as an allowable new PC.
    But this Sync warning is a pain. Plus, when i view my iPod's App icons on my copmputer, I can no longer drag and move them. I have the latest version of iTunes installed. Thank you for your help

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore it from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    As for your second problem, see if restrictions for app installation and deleting apps are active in Settings/General/Restrictions. If yes, allow to install and delete app again.

  • When I connect my iPod to the computer, it connects for only about 5 seconds and then disconnects on its own before synching. How do I fix this?

    I had my iTunes and library on my home computer.  The computer crapped out along with the hard drive.  I have my library on my iPod and want to put it on my new computer, but any time I connect the iPod to my home computer (and work computer for that matter), it only connects for about 5 seconds and then disconnects on its own.  I go to look at the iPod as a hard drive and I have nothing but empty folders (contacts, calendar, recordings and something else), but nothing is in them.
    1) How do I get my iPod to connect to my computer?
    2) How do I get my iPod to connect to iTunes?
    3) Why don't my music files on my iPod show up on my computer?
    I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled iTunes.  I have done the "trick" of hitting the 'Menu and Center' buttons at the same time unitl the Apple icon appears.  I have tried going into Disk Mode.  I don't know what to do now.  The word "Resetting" scares me because this is where I have my 150 GB of music stored and I'd rather not have to upload my CD's again.............will resetting affect that?  The word "Restore" is even scarier!!!
    Help!

    i am using a cable connector like this one.. it works with audio when pluged into a stereo but not a TV.i am trying to display video from ipod, also from other apps.. i also want to know why it does not work.
    i use the video app on the iPod and video stored on other aps.

    I need help to sync my ipod.  When connected to my computer, itunes tells me it is synced to another account.  I only have one account.  I had tons of stuff stored on itunes, now my itunes account is blank.  I fear connecting my iphone or ipad now.  I would like to use my itunes to download movies and shows to my ipad2' but I'm not sure I want to risk it.  I have signed onto my husband's computer and tried to assess my itunes account but get the same result!  Help!

    " I had tons of stuff stored on itunes, now my itunes account is blank."
    How did this happen?
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
    You can sync iphone/ipad to one and only one itunes library at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the iphone.
