My 5th gen iPod is completely dead, and it's been charging for 2 hours, and it hasn't even turned on. Help?
I don't know what to do. I'm starting to panic because my memory isn't backed up, because there was simply too much data. I'm hoping that my iPod is broken, but if so, I'll just buy another one. Please help?
My old iPod touch says "Connect to iTunes" when plugged into the wall, but is completely dead when plugged into my computer...
I forgot my iPod Touch somewhere 18 months ago and it has just been returned to me. It was charged sometimes in the interim, but I don't know how often. I locked it remotely and that is still the status that shows up in iCloud. iCloud can't find it because it is offline.
Now, when I plug it into the wall (via USB charger) the Apple logo appears and then, soon after, I get the graphic that shows that it needs to be plugged into iTunes via USB.
When I plug it into my computer via USB, however, the screen is completely black and it doesn't show up in iTunes.
Is there a way to revive this? It seems like, if it gets power from the wall, it should be able to run with power from the computer, right? I would like to use it to play music at home and so I could leave it plugged in all the time...the battery isn't an issue for me.
I've tried holding the on/off button simultaneously with the "home" button for 10 seconds...when it's plugged into the wall, that just takes me back to the Apple logo, and when it's plugged into the computer, it stays black. It does turn off when it's plugged into the wall, when I hold the on/off button and slide the slider.
Thank you!!!
If I tend to plugg in my iPod Touch before it gets completely discharged,that will reduce battery life more quickly?
I read that it's recommended to fully discharge the battery once in a month. So now I don't completely discharge de battery before plugging it in.

Battery completely drained on my 2006 White MacBook. Now battery will not charge.
I let the battery completely drain on my 2006 White MacBook (Mac OS X 10.5.8). Now the battery indicator says that it is plugged in and 0% charged. WHen the magsafe is unplugged the computer shuts down. Previously, the battery worked great with hours of charge. I dont want a new battery unless it needs one. I tried to reset the SMC and I also ran the AHT. Is there anything else to do?

MacBook Completely Screwed
Are permissions specific to hardware or software? I ask this because I was wondering if I plugged my mac HD into my pc could I access the mac files even though they have "everybody" set to "no access"? I basically changed the permissions on my mac for eveyone to no access and now the machine wont boot. It won't even let me on safe mode.
I now have the original cd and have tried booting with 'c' and also with 'options' but nothing is happening Please help

If an iPod touch 5th Gen is completely powered off, can apps still run down the battery?
Hello,
I own an iPod touch 5th generaion that is less than 2 months old, it worked great until about a week ago then the battery started depleting rapidly, usually fully within a 12 hour period even if I did not use the unit.
I started trying to figure out if there is anyting I cold do and learned a lot about apps left open draining the battery, etc. but making sure they were all closed did not help.
I then restored the unit to factory default, but this does not help.
The last thing I tried was to turn the unit completed off at night using the power switch by holding it until the unit turns off.
My question is, once I do this can any app use any power at all?
The reason I ask is because I had spoken with 3 Apple technicians and all 3 of them do not understand or can answer the question. They keep asking me if I know how to look in the taskbar to turn off the apps which once the power is off is not an available option.
I will greatly appreciate your response.
Mike.
