KyL416, thanks for reporting this.

Could you attach the iPod Touch 2G section of the output that "upower --dump" gives you when run from the command line?

The problem is worse with indicator-power 12.10.6+14.04.20140328-0ubuntu1 after they implemented the changes described in the following bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-power/+bug/880881

Since for whatever reason they decided to treat laptop batteries the same as other devices that report battery strength like iPods, I just get the missing icon symbol as the indicator.
