'Please Wait. Very Low Battery.'

'Please Wait. Very Low Battery.'

I keep getting this with my ipod AND it won't charge. I've tried a different usb cable thinking it might be a faulty cable, but that didn't work. I got a replacement battery and everything worked fine until it ran out of charge and now I'm back to 'Please Wait. Very Low Battery.'

What is the **** problem with this? Aaaargh, it's so frustrating. I've had my ipod video since November 05, so it's out of warranty.

REEEAAAD MEEEE!!!
Alright so this just happened to my iPod and I spent like two hours trying to figure it out and I finally did. It's totally simple, by the way.

It won't charge because it doesn't have enough juice to start charging [crazy as that sounds] so it just continually resets it's self. You need to have it hooked up to your computer in 'disk mode'.

1. Take your iPod and plug it in to your USB port.
2. Hold down the select [center button] and the play button.

That's it, It might have to update your library but you shouldn't lose all your music. It worked for me so I'm hoping it can solve all of your guys' problems too. Good luck!

I've opened many a case up. The easiest tool to use is a guitar pick. Sounds weird but it doesn't scratch the ipod and is thin and sturdy enough.

it's not charging that's the problem. It says it is, but it really isn't.

Try cracking it open and disconnecting it that way. Leave it disconnected for a full 10 minutes.

as others have said, my problem went away when i plugged my ipod into my boss sound system and just let it charge for a couple of hours.

I have an 80 GB iPod video that needs a new battery and while looking for one I found 2 models, first is 850mAh and the other one is 950mAh.

Which one would you guys recommend?
