Why does my iPod Charger keep breaking?

Hi, my iPod charger has broken 3x. The first one lasted for a year, the second on lasted for a week and the third one lasted for 3-4months the last two have looked in just about brand new condition, but they have suddenly broken. I am very frustrated about this! and I was just wondering if you know why the have done this.

Are they Apple chargers, or a. n. other brand? If they are another brand, are they really cheap ones, that could possibly be less durable??
Do you mean broken physically? Perhaps you're being too rough with them.
Or does it simply stop producing power? You are sure it's the charger and not the cable, aren't you? If it's not the cable, then perhaps your power supply to your house is faulty and casuing them to fail.
It seems unlikley that three separate power supplies all "just fail", especially if they are Apple, or any other well known and reliable brand.

Why does my ipod charger stop working even when it is only at red?

When my ipod is dead, I plug my ipod 5 charger into my laptop, and it starts charging. When my ipod turns on, I check and see that it has stopped charging and won't charge after pulling it out and putting it back in. My dad bought this charger on Amazon. What should I do?

Why does my Ipod 4 Generation speakers stop working randomly and then start back up again?

I have heard that this problem has happened to alot of the 4 gen ipod users. Is there any way to complain to apple or get a refund? Becuase an ipod is suppose to play music, that's what it's good at, but if it cant even do that then no point buying the ipod really.
It's been happening the day I got it, i even updateed it but still carries on.

Hey there gillly,
It sounds like your iPod Classic is not playing back your music correctly. You should use the following article to help resolve the issue here, named:
iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
Start by resetting your iPod, and work your way through the article as needed:
Reset
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Why does my iPod charge completely and then automatically go to Red? It's been doing this all day today... And sometimes it dies, but an hour later I can turn it back on. I don't want to buy a new battery!!!

Why does my iPod Nano 6th generation stop playing after a specific time only on 2 songs? (but both at different times)

My Songs (Eminem,Just Lose It) stops after 57 second seconds and my other song (Jessie J, Who's laughing Now) stops after 1 minute 23 seconds. I think this might've happened because internet connection was lost while it was loading but I'm not sure how to help it and find a way to make it play fully threw.

Do these same songs play okay in iTunes? Were they originally downloaded from the iTunes Store?
Have you worked the suggestions in this Apple support document.

Because the hub is not compatible with the iPod.
Just use your computer or purchase a wall charger.

Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
Details -
4th Generation
I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
(e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
881 MB are still left
Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.

TS3700 why does my ipod suddenly stop playing

Why does my ipod suddenly stop playing?

is your battery charged? How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a playlist when it stops)? I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.

Why does my IPod shuffle stop after a few hours playing on shuffle when it should go for days?

Why does my IPod stop playing after a few hours on shuffle when it should play for days?

A few possibilities... (Each numbered item is a separate thing to check or try.)
(1) What does the shuffle's light do when you connect it to USB?
(2) If the docking cable plug is not fully inserted, it may not have a good connection for charging. Make sure the docking cable plug is fully inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes
(3) If there are other USB devices connected to your computer at the same time, try disconnecting other devices (including USB hub) so that the shuffle is the only device connected to a direct USB port, to see if that makes a difference (you can leave standard USB keyboard/mouse connected if used).
(4) If you have a USB power adapter (such as from an iPhone, iPad, or other device), that plugs into the wall outlet, as a test, connect the shuffle's docking cable to the adapter and connect the shuffle. Does it change from a power adapter?
(5) Some newer Windows PCs (if you use Windows and not a Mac) may have a "feature" that shuts off full power to the USB port when a connected storage device is no longer mounted by the system. An iPod is a storage device, and after syncing, iTunes unmounts the iPod's disk (if you are using automatic syncing). If Windows shuts off full power to the USB port, the battery cannot charge. To see if this is the problem, does the iPod appear in iTunes when it is connected, even though the battery is not charging? If it does, select the iPod in iTunes so that you see its Summary screen. There is an option (checkbox) there for Enable disk use. If it's not already checked, check that box and Apply. Enabling disk use keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously, so Windows will keep the USB port at full power (and the battery will charge). If the iPod now charges, there may be a way to disable this "energy saver" feature in Control Panels, so that you can turn OFF Enable disk use. NOTE: When Enable disk use is turned ON, you need to Eject the iPod in iTunes before physically disconnecting it.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77% 78% help me please

why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77% 78% help me please

All batteries recover a bit when they sit for a little while. Also most iPod battery apps register only in 5% increments, because it is hard to really be accurate to the single percent. Just because yours shows in 1% increments does not mean it is actually accurate to that level.
