Charging my Apple iPod 4GB Red

As soon as you plug The Ipod into the desktop the battery charging image should come up on the Ipod screen ( Yes even if its Off ). Let it charge completely ( the battery picture will be fully green in color ).
Meanwhile down load I-tunes from the apple website given below and follow the simple instructions of how to manage your Video and Audio files.

HI Vikram,

What you can do is connect ipod to ur computer usb port ( desktop: connect it at the rear usb port for charging) Then try reseting it Menu and select button for 6 to 8 secs,... see Apple logo and try using it :)

Make an appointment to the Genius Bar.

Connect the ipod to your computer and let it sit for about fifteen minutes. Then it should show up in your computer and under itunes. Usually, if your ipod dies completely, when you try to charge it using a wall or car charger, it will do that, just flashing the apple logo and going back off. Leaving it plugged up to the computer will allow the battery to charge normally, just enough so that it can come on and sync with itunes. While it is plugged into the computer and charging, it should say something like, battery very low, wait few minutes, charging. It should work after letting it sit plugged up to the computer.

try resetting unit - hold down men and centre button till apple icon appears

If you need more asistance, let me know.

It sounds like the battery is fried. That's the same thing that happened to mine. I had to take it to the Apple store, had them look at it, and they actually exchanged it for a refurbished iPod. There's not much you can do at home, unless you want to order a new battery from Apple. I would still recommend having them install it.
