When is my ipod done charging?

the 30gig version, how do i know when it's done charging (via usb)? what does the screen/battery look like? thanks

there is not a fully charged screen...wen the player is done charging it will be a full green bar at the meter....or if you let it sit on the charger for awhile then look at the screen it will say charging or charged (if complete)...This is normal behavior for the iPods...
One more thing....dont really go by the meter in the corner...after watching just a little bit of video it goes down...it is really still a good charged but the meter is all at a wack so just dont even trust it...

N00b question - when is the battery done charging?

just got my macbook yesterday and am now calibrating the battery. is the battery fully charged when the light on the recharger turns green or when the light turns off? dont want to remove it too early. thanks in advance.

FYI,The light on the MagSafe should never turn off.
It will be orange while charging and green when fully charged.
As stated,it's safe to leave MacBook plugged in with a full charge.
Note: I would recommend calibrating the battery about every 2 months.

After a short time the iPod's screen should automatically go off? Does that happen?
Cover the iPod with something so the screen light does not bother yuu

IPod USB charging when iBook/Powerbook is sleeping

Hello all.
We've got two iPods (a 5G and a 4G) and two portable Macs (PowerBook and iBook).
Here's the issue: when our computers are sleeping (ie. the lids are closed), but also plugged into the wall, we could charge our old 4G iPods using the FireWire cables.
Now that one of us has upgraded to a 5G (which doesn't sync through FireWire), and the other has switched to using the USB cable to sync/charge, we've noticed that the iPods don't charge through USB when the computers are asleep but plugged in.
Is this the experience that other iPod/Mac users are having? Is there a way to force the iPods to charge when the computers are sleeping AND powered, or do iBooks and Powerbooks need to be awake to charge an iPod through USB?
I understand why a sleeping iBook or Powerbook that's NOT plugged in wouldn't charge an iPod -- it doesn't with FireWire, after all. But a computer that IS plugged in? How inconvenient if I had to open my computer every time I'm trying to charge up the iPod!
Please advise. Thanks.

Powering a device through the USB bus requires that the CPU on the host machine be active in order to arbitrate power for different devices and warn the operator if a device is drawing too much power from the bus. Since the CPU doesn't do anything while the computer is asleep, devices cannot be powered while the host is asleep. Power used by FireWire devices is drawn directly from the power supply and doesn't need any information from the CPU while the computer is plugged in. When on battery power, FireWire ports are shut off while the computer is asleep to save battery time.

Ipod nano 6 does not recognise charger when connecting to ipod

When I try and connect charging lead to my IPod 6, (that was a replacement for Ipod 2) the screen alternates between Apple logo and icon screen, then it a message appears that the battery is low and to connect to a charger. I have tried Apple support sites on internet but nowhere does it address my problem. Can anybody please help?

I reset the ipod by holding down the power button and the menu button and the apple screen came up after a few moments - this seems to have done the trick!

My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

For Christmas, my older sister got me a portable charger for my iPod. I'm not sure if it was capable with apple products, but it charged my iPod when I used it. My brother came upstairs and took my portable charger from me, so I went to go use my wall charger. The wall charger I have has always worked and it charges my mom's iPhone, so the problem I have isn't my charger. After I plugged my iPod in my charger, a message popped up saying "This accessory may not be supported". I was confused because this never has happened before, so I tried my portable charger after I got the message. The portable charger didn't charge my iPod anymore apparently after I tried my charger. All this happened the day after Christmas, so it's almost been a month without my iPod charging properly. My iPod does charge, but only when I plug it in halfway and am about to turn it all the way off. The only way I get it to charge is when I plug it in real fast as soon as I turn my iPod completely off. I've also restarted my iPod, cleaned out the charging area, asked people at stores that work with technology, and etc, so if someone could help me resolve this problem that would be legit because I use my iPod on a daily basis.

That message is usually due to a bad cable.

I've had my ipod shuffle (2nd generation) for a long time now and after a year and a bit of not being in use it doesn't work. When I connect it to the computer it doesn't come up. Can my ipod be charged or fixed?

I just got a new ipod 5 and when I plugged in the charging cord that came with it, it says it is not supported, and may not charge. It worked the first few times, but now it won't charge at all.

How Do You Know When The Zen Touch Is Done Chargi

I searched through the forums and couldn't find anything on this topic.
I want to make sure that I don't overcharge my player, while still filling it to its enormous capacity. How will I know when it's done charging?

On my touch there is a little icon in the upper left corner of the screen showing my battery symbol with a power volt thing over it to show it is charging. This changes back and forth until the charging is done, then there is nothing on the screen at all.

When my ipod is charging, the hard drive won't open.

when my ipod is charging the hardrive or the pop-up only appears once after that it wont pop up...
does anyone know why??
It charges fine but the hardrive(pop-up) wont show
IM FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and does anyone know another way to put music onto ipod without itunes my itunes is currently not working...im new to this apple system

If you mean that the iPod does not appear in iTunes on yur computer go here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Otherwise more clearly describe your problem.

My ipod always cuts off the end of some of my songs when theyre clearly not done... Anyone having the same problem?

My ipod is a 2nd gen ipod touch and i will go to listen a song and my ipod will cut it off when the song isnt done, like right inn the middle of it and just change to the next song. So frustrating anyway to fix it?

mine was doing the same thing at first so I had to convert all my mp3's to ACC files using itunes. I read in the faq that itunes will sometimes not play a file properly if you did not use iTunes to encode it. it's a real pain in the *** but try to convert to ACC and it should solve the problem.

My ipod had a full battery but when i took it off charge and put my earphones in it it went completley dead and hasnt come back on. Can anybody tell me what is wrong and how to fix it?

Try here to fix it. I doubt that you will ever find out why it did that.

What does that mean when your iPod only charges when you battery dies? (meaning: when my battery isn't dead it wont charge but when the battery is dead thats the only time it will charge)
