SERIOUS PROBLEM...PLEASE HELP!!!
Okay, so my iPod has been having a few issues lately and I want to know if anyone has any idea what's wrong with it.
A few days ago I was getting the "Please wait, very low battery" message constantly. I know my iPod was charged so I don't know why it kept saying that. Every time I plugged it into the wall, it wouldn't charge so I tried charging it in my iHome, which seemed to be working. The problem is, the iPod isn't charging right. I can keep it in the iHome for hours, and it always says it's charging. Then as soon as I take it off the iHome, it says it's charged. If I put it back into the iHome, it says it's charging again.
On top of that, when the iPod isn't plugged into anything, I can still use it, but the "Charged" icon stays on the screen 24/7. When I turn it off, the screen turns off for about 3 seconds and then the "Charged" or "Charging" icon shows up (it varies) and the screen is not lit up. So my iPod basically never turns off, so the battery ends up dying.
I've reset my iPod countless times, and restored it a couple times, and nothing seems to fix it. There have also been times when neither my iTunes nor my computer recognize my iPod. I think I've come to the conclusion that it needs to be in disk mode, but I've never had that problem before.
If anyone has any idea what the problem is, please let me know. Or if you've had a similar problem...I hate to think I'm the only one experiencing this.
I've thought about going to an Apple store to have them look at it, but my warranty is up. I do, however, have a warranty with Best Buy, but I'm not completely sure what it covers. I really don't think there's a problem with the battery, I mean, it holds a charge, but my iPod just refuses to shut off. Not to mention, my iPod doesn't seem to recognize when it's actually charging and when it isn't.
Any help would be much appreciated.
