My ipod 5th generation wont charge after ios 8 update .. does this have something to with the charger not being an apple product?

Before the update my iPod was charging fine. then when I updated it started acting funny like one minute it would charge then it wouldn't then the next after IOS 8 came out my iPod wouldn't charge at all. could it be that my charger isn't an apple product? PLEASE HELP!!!  I have important notes from school on here and I'm afraid to ask my mother for a new one without giving her a good explanation.

Could be that the update make the iPod more aware of marginal cable. Other users have reported the same.

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

  • My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed.  After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work.  I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
    It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder.  Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore.  Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

  • After iOS 5 update i only have music and apps the same. missing some iOS 5 features

    i lost contacts, photos, favorites, messages, notes -- everything except my apps and music. i synced before many times. how do i retrieve this????

    Update: I managed to restore everything back to the sync I did right before I updated to iOS. We're going on 5 hours now of f***ing with this phone but hopefully now all I have to do is rearrange all my apps again...
    I CTRL clicked on my phone in iTunes and thankfully the backup I did last night showed up in the pop up menu. It gave me the option to "restore from backup" and I chose that one. When it finished the restore everything looked like it did yesterday except I had the new features of iOS. Hooray! Hope this works for you, too.

    My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all,
    i upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and after that my ipod started having trouble charging, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning cable chargers and my ipod still would'nt charge, so it died. now the only thing my ipod does is when i try to turn it on it shows the apple logo and then the screen goes off and does it again for a few times and then the screen stays off and my ipod gets really hot but wont turn on for the rest of the day help!!

    The hotness indicate a hardware problem.

  • Apple should make a server hardware/OS with iOS level security. This could compete well with the breach infested pre secure OS/hardware server systems like Windows Linux OSX.  It should be structurally immune to phishing etc

    Apple should make a server hardware/OS with iOS level security. This could compete well with the breach infested pre secure OS/hardware server systems like Windows Linux OSX.  It should be structurally immune to phishing etc and could be sold easily as a secure alternative.  It should be based on structural hardware based security as has been demonstrated in the iOS operating system and the hardware should be made in secure facilities in the US.  Those Chinese put weaknesses into the hardware they make as has been documented on 60 minutes.

    Apple's entry in the server market has come and gone - is there a question in there somewhere?

    my ipod 5th generation won't turn on or charge and i can't hold in both the button to charge it because the hoe button is broken, what can i do to fix it?

    You are going to have to take it to the Apple Store to see if they can do anything for you. The Home button is critical for using your device. You need to get it fixed.

  • Wont reboot after iOS 7 update

    wont reboot after iOS 7 update

    I had the same problem.  Here's how it repaired.  First need to note that I backed up my ios6 iphone5 to my MacBook Pro via iTunes and did the update to ios7 tethered to iTunes via USB.  The iPhone hung on restart to ios7.
    I disconnectd the lightning to USB chord.  At that time the icon/graphic came up on the iphone screen to tell me to connect to iTunes.  On reconnect, the iPhone told me that it had to be restored and that this would "wipe out" all settings and items stored on the iPhone5.  So it was just like turning the iPhone 5 on new out of the box.  I was good with this since I had backed up.
    The iPhone 5 then went through the restore process first installing the "most recent" ios, which happened to be ios7 since that was the latest downloaded via iTunes.  Once the base ios7 was installed I was then prompted to set up a new iPhone or restore from the latest backup (which I had done just prior).  I chose restore from latest backup and the iPhone went through the process of resyncing to iTunes and reinstalling all apps, music, pics, video, and "others" ... a looong process.

  • My ipod 5th gen wont charge or turn on when plugged into the wall or on my docking station

    I have had my iPod for around a year now and it has been perfectly fine........until now. I came home from work to find my iPod was turned off, I assumed that it had just run out of charge. I plugged it in to charge using the power adapter and nothing happens when I put it to charge on my docking station?
    Can anyone help? Or does it look like a new iPod is on the cards?
    Thanks

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My Ipod 4th generation wont charge when I plug it in either my computer or a wall charger

    No light comes on when I plug it in to either my computer or a wall charger. I've tried restarting it, upgrading the software on my computer, my computer doesn't even realize that its plugged in no matter which port I plug it into. Please help! I got it for my birthday last Septemeber (2011) from my kids, and just want it to work again.

    Are you sure the connections on each end are nice and snug?  The picture in this article shows you what not to do.

  • My iPod 5th generation has no sound only head phone has a sound.How to fix the problem?i already tried reset settings and power on/off button.

    I have  a problem of  5th generation of iPod .It has headphone sound but not out sound I mean without headphone there is no soung.I  how can Solve the problem?

    I have the same problem too. I tried turning it off, and it still didn't work. If you keep your headphones in a lot, I believe that is the problem. I am no tech expert, but when you put in your headphones, it triggers something and that something might be stuck. When I turn upp my vokume when my headphones are not in, it says "headphones". Pretty weird.

  • I have a problem with the iPhoto not updating after the hard drive recall.

    The iPhoto with not update after doing the Hard Drive Recall. It keeps saying I don't have the right ID. I have tried resetting all my passwords and no change. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

    Which OS version did you have when you acquired iPhoto and was it on a DVD (iLife) or did you download it from the app store initially?
    And, last question, did you skip Mavericks? Mavericks owners were given the opportunity to update iPhoto to an app store version free of charge; if you skipped it and do not have a backup or the installer DVD or purchased a new computer recently, then you'll need to purchase it.
