Won't seem to charge...

So...all that comes on my screen is a apple...what does this mean? Is my nano....completely toast?

Is the LED on the MagSafe connector orange? Or green? Or dead?
If lit, reset SMC.
If dead, see if you can try a different charger on your MBP, and/or vice versa.

    All of the sudden my computer won't seem to charge. I have restarted it and also tried different outlets and nothing seems to be working.

  • IPod Touch won't turn on, but seems to charge.

    I have an 8GB iPod Touch 2nd Generation, iOS 4.1
    My iPod Touch died a few months ago, whenever it died, I tried everything to get it to turn back on, but nothing worked.
    I held the power button and the home button for 10 seconds, even two minutes I held them down, and it wouldn't power on, I called Apple and they couldn't help me.
    I tried putting it in DFU mode by holding the home button for 8 seconds then plugging in the computer but nothing happens, my computer nor iTunes notices my device.
    I tried numoerus computers, game consoles and wall outlets to get it too charge, the only tip I saw but didn't try was unplugging everything but the mouse and keyboard and see if it charges, But I knew it wouldn't work since I tried laptops with nothing in them and my gaming consoles which includes PS3 360  and Wii.
    I found the iPod Touch after leaving it in my dresser for months then tried fiddling with it again.
    Strangely enough I used my sister's iPod Classic charger the one with a red light on it(Or is that third party?), and it seemed to charge, no icon was shown, but the iPod responded by warming up a bit, something a dead iPod wouldn't do,
    Any helps or tips is appreciated, but don't be afraid to tell me if the device won't come back too life, I'll just recycle it and get another whenever I can.

    Thx alot for this thread, plus the solution. i was frekin out. i didn't do anything to the ipod for it to do what it it. have you or can any one tell me why it did this, or what could be the reasons for this to happen. i think that knowing that would also be very usefull. thx in adv.

  • IPhone 5 won't take a charge & won't restore from backup

    My iPhone 5 stopped taking a charge. So I updated to 7.whatever & backed it up. It still would take a charge so I went through recovery mode. That seemed to complete (I've done it twice now) However, the phone still won't take a charge and it won't restore from my backup. (Since the initial run through recovery mode it has never accepted the backup. It alway errors out saying the iPhone disconnected. It never disconnected physically and I've tried mutiple cables so which worn on my other iPhone so they are not the problem. If I plug the iPhone in it will cycle between on and off and never accept a charge or allow me to get through the backup process without "disconnecting" Any suggestions?

    Hello GreenLantern17,
    It sounds like you are unable to charge your phone and it keeps disconnecting when you have it plugged into your computer, even though you have tried mulitple cables. If you have not already, try charging the phone with the wall adapter that came with it. If it works there,  into I recommend starting with the following USB port troubleshooting for your computer:
    Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
    If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
    Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
    These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
    Restart your computer.
    Restart your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
    If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes if you have not already.
    Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
    If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.

  • TX Won't Hold a Charge

    It seems my Palm TX won't hold a charge. I recharged it yesterday and the battery's already very low, even though it's hardly been on. Is there an easy fix?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Although in the end it will probably be a bad battery that is causing the issue. Before jumping to that you should look into trying to do different resets to get it to last longer.

  • My new ipod touch 3g won't hold a charge. The genius bar reset my old one twice and it still wouldn't charge. They gave me a new one but it also runs out of power overnight. They suggested that I might have a corrupted file somewhere.

    My new ipod 3g won't hold a charge. The genius bar reset my old iPod thinking that would solve the problem. It did not. It continued to discharge over night. They then thought I had some corrupted something, somewhere, but did nothing about it. They gave me a new iPod. It however is also discharging. If I do have a problem somewhere, why doesn't it affect my iPhone, which never seems to need a fresh charge. Please advise.

    Unfortunately, I am somewhat of an expert on this issue.  The problem is with the Charge design.  I'm very sure Verizon & Samsung know all about this defect in the hardware  The issue is with a hardware switch that gets stuck and drains the battery.  It seems to be connected with the camera part.  I have exchanged my phone like 5 times, hoping for a better outcome... same problem each time.  Finally, when it was out of warranty, the only solution left was to do the hard reset thing, thereby losing all your programs, etc. You will notice after the complete reset that everything works fine for awhile, until you do something that triggers that switch, which I have tracked down to the camera.  If you don't use the camera, no problems.  One big clue, for me anyway, was when the problem is starting, I lose access to my SD memory card apps.
    I HAVE managed to recover my phone just a few days ago without the hard reset, as JCO23 mentioned above.  Remove your memory card, restart your phone.  When the phone is fully booted, insert your memory card, and it will "mount" just like during startup.  Then go to your apps and delete a few at a time.  btw, it might crash during this process, in which case you need to start again.  keep removing apps a few at a time until the only apps left are the ones stored on the phone itself, not your memory card.  You will notice it is now stable, at some point.
    I'm also sure by now, you've gotten the usual Verizon response to buy a new phone.  I can't wait... I am tired of resetting my phone and losing my apps all the time. 

  • HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, what should i do?

    I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    - 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.

  • Brand new ipod shuffles won't hold a charge

    I've bought and returned 2 ipod 4th generation shuffles because they won't hold a charge for more than 1.5 hrs after I charged them overnight. Those were brand new ipods and I use them for the gym. Why aren't they holding a charge? Has anyone else had these problems? They are supposed to have a long battery charge.  I don't want to keep buying and returning ipod shuffles. My other ipod shuffles haven't lasted long either. The battery quality is very low. I might try a 3rd shot but I'm very frustrated. 
    Can anyone recommend another brand other than Apple?
    Thanks

    When you are excercising with the Shuffle do you have it protected with a moisture resistant sleeve or case?  If not, there is a good possibility that moisture is making its way into the Shuffle and deteriotating its internal components including the battery.
    You could test this out, by replacing the Shuffle a third time, charging it over night, and then seeing how long it lasts on a full charge without using it for exercise.

    White screen when connected to a charge.  At times it has a battery with a flash through it and at times an error code comes up.  it does not hold a charge for long.
    i've downloaded the newest software updat (i think)
    i've tried the application loader in desktop manager.
    taken the battery out and back in.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for me before i throw the phone out my window????
    What happened when you tried putting different battery in it? Did you ask to borrow one to test from the carrier?
    Or did you purchase a new battery and try it?
    Do you have the right battery for this series phone  and is it an OEM Blackberry battery?
    See the picture below to make sure you have the right battery (note label color)
    Let us know.

  • My iPod touch won't hold a charge since 1.1.3 update

    After the 1.1.3 update, I purchased the iPhone apps for my iPod touch and also added 6 webpage addresses to my home screen. There is two pages on my homescreen. I also added two email accounts, one using yahoo, and one using msn, going through izymail. since the update, my iPod won't hold a charge at all. I haven't really used it yet, but once or twice during the day I check my mail, and other than that it is off. They battery constantly drains, If it is full, it will lose batter life in about a day, just sitting on my night stand turned off. No music or videos are left playing. Is something with the update or my iPod, can I fix it? Oh, I change it from an apple usb wall charger, and I got my iPod at christmas.
    Thanks

    You say your turning it off does that mean you are holding in the sleep button and sliding the unit off or does it mean you are just locking the unit with the screen off?
    If you have the Wifi enabled and only have the IPT in standby mode then this is why it's depleting the battery so quickly. Charge the unit till it's full with the little plug showing and then eject it and turn off wifi and leave the unit in standby overnight and see if the battery depletes at all.
    I've noticed that Wifi really ***** the life out of the battery very quickly so give it a try and report back to us.

  • 2G iPod Touch won't synch or charge with computer.

    I have a 2nd gen. iPod Touch and when i plug it into my computer it won't recognize it, charge it, or synch it. The only thing that happens when you plug it in is the computer makes 3 fast, same pitched tones. It's kind of like when you would normally plug it in and it makes those two tones. Anyway, so I thought maybe it was the cord so I got another chord and it didn't make a difference. I reinstalled iTunes and it made no difference. I restarted, and then restored my iPod and tried it again and it didn't work. I made sure it was fully charged too, to no avail. Finally I plugged in my iPod Video and it was recognized by the computer immediately so I know that it's a problem with the iPod touch. But the iPod Touch still works with my iHome. I have no idea what it could be. Does anyone know what the problem is?

    Actually you are in a better position than some are with this problem. I would back up my iTunes library and then remove it completely from my computer. Use the info in this article to remove iTunes:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Then download the latest copy of iTunes and install that. That generally will fix it.
