Is an outlet plug that says gfci on it but doesn't have a reset button really a gfci outlet?
It depends. It could be improperly installed. Outlets can be GFI protected by using a GFI rated breaker in the main panel box. Look for a breaker in the panel box that has a push to test button on it. Press the push to test button then plug something into the outlet to see if it still works. If the breaker turns off the power then it is GFI protected. To reset it flip the breaker to the fully of position then back to the on position.

How do you tell if a household circuit breaker is defective?
Safety First! 1) Remove all load devices from the breaker circuit (unplug everything). 2) Reset breaker and observe. No problem, move to step three. 3) Add back one load device at the time. If it's winter, and the device that reproduces the problem happens to be a space heater, stop here, you solved the problem. Move the space heater to a less populated circuit. 4) If you add your I-Pod charger and the breaker trips, you could still need an licensed professional to investigate. In my experience (almost 39 years) doing electrical work, circuit overload is the most common cause.

Occassionally you may come across a "bolt-on" style which must be un-screwed from the panel. Breakers are rated in AMPERES, VOLTAGE, INTERRUPTING CAPACITY, and must be listed for use in the breaker panel being used. Listing are by UL, CSA, ETL and a few rare others. Just because it fits does not mean it is the correct breaker. Mis-application of circuit breakers is considered a safety hazard, no different that putting a penny in a old style fuse-holder. Also, there are many other types of commercial breakers and specialty breakers that are more complex, such as GFCI and AFCI.

Why would power be received before breaker but with breaker on no power is in any recepticles?
The voltage before the breaker is from the distribution panel's buss bars. This voltage is controlled by the panel's main breaker. To have no voltage on the terminal of the breaker means that either the breaker is shut off or it has gone into a trip position. If it has tripped push the handle of the breaker to the off position and then to the on position. This should reset the breaker. If the voltage is not present at the output terminal of the breaker after resetting it, then replace the breaker as it has a fault in it.
