Will not charge with new cable

I have an iPod classic 5th gen and it will not charge with any newer cables. Either apple or aftermarket. I have found it will charge when I hook up my Kensington battery pack and it charged with an older cable but I no longer have it. It's their something different about older units and charging accessories?

There is no difference.  They are exactly the same. So it doesn't charge whether you plug it into an available USB port on your Mac or via a wall adapter?
Have you check to make sure the iPod's dock connector port was clean and clear of any sort of debris and/or damage such as bent, broken, or corroded pins?

  • 6 plus will not charge with Lightning cable after 8.1 update

    Received my phone yesterday after ordering on the second day of launch and restored from my computer backup with the Lightning cable provided in the box.  After I installed the 8.1 update over wifi, now phone does not recognize the Lightning cable.  I get the not compatible message if I plug into the phone and the other end is in free air. It now will not charge or sync with computer at all.  I tried 2 different Lightning cables with the same result. I did notice the life being sucked out of the battery after 8.1 update.  I did the reset setting trick with no luck.  I have a apt at the Apple store in a few hours.  Any thoughts?

    Apple store replaced the phone and lightning cable this morning.  She said it was Hardware issues.  Well it worked fine up until I updated to 8.1 software.  The cable broke while I was removing it from the phone in front of the tech.  This afternoon I purchased a 6' lightning cable with braided jacket for under $20 bucks at Sams.  Well worth the money. The reason the cable broke was due to the small area left to grab the connector while my phone is in the Otterbox defender case I received yesterday.

  • Z10 will not charge & with new Battery will not turn on

    I have have had my Z10 about a month now, I am gernerally happy with it as a work phone which is similar to my private Iphone5. Unfortunately the Battry life has been reducing on a weekly basis to around 4 hrs between charges. Now it is dead and will not wake up, so I bought a new Battery, now it blinks once the three times but will not turn on.
    Any ideas ? The OS is the latest on the Blackberry site, but as I can turn the phone on I can't be more specific.

    Hello,
    From your description, if your charger is "known good" (e.g., it can charge other devices), then one can only deduce that something (hardware) inside the BB related to passing power from the charger to the battery has broken. Or that something passing power from the battery to the device has broken.
    Regardless, if your charger is 100% fine, then it sounds like a hardware problem for which no amount of OS/software level fixes nor internet-distance diagnostics can be of much value.
    I recommend you seek formal support via your official warranty channel. Normally, that starts with your original place of purchase or an authorized service center -- it varies by region.
    Good luck!

  • My ipod 5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

    My ipod touch 3rd generation OS  5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    Try syncing using the manual method                
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    If iTunes does not see the iPod:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • HT4060 My iPad4 will not charge using the cable supplied by Apple using AC current or athrough my computer. Help!

    My iPad4 will not charge using the cable supplied by Apple using AC current or the computer. Help!

    Here are some things to check when there is a problem charging the iPad. First use the charger that came with the iPad and connect that to a wall outlet.
    1. No power in the outlet.
    2. Bad charger. Try a different charger.
    3. Bad cable. Try a different cable.
    4. Dirt, lint or fuzz in the charging ports. Check and carefully clean with a toothpick if necessary.
    5. Software glitch. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    6. Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • I forgot my password and ipod will not sync with new computer

    I forgot my password and ipod will not sync with new computer

    You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it factory settings.  There is no other way.
    Here are instructions for getting your iPod touch into recovery mode.

    Are you using the iPad charger or a different charger, like an iPhone charger?

  • New ipod touch will not charge with car stereo anymore

    I recently got an iPod Touch and when I plug it in to my car stereo it says that "charging is not supported with this accessory". I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that the new IPT do not charge with firewire.
    I'm having the same problem with a USB 2.0 extension cord I bought. this one I don't understand because it is supposed to be USB and not firewire. I've tried plugging that in to the wall with a usb wall charger but I get the same thing, so it's not an issue of there not being enough power.
    As far as my car is concerned, the cable has a regular ipod connection. I look up firewire to USB converters but they all have a female firewire (small odd shaped holes) connection, so I couldn't plug my cable in to it. Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this situation so that my ipod will charge while it is plugged in?

    You have identified a problem that has been around since the iPod touch came out (also effects the latest generation nanos). Go to your local big box store and by yourself a new charger that is compatible with the touch.

  • HT4060 My new ipad 4 will not charge with wall adapter.

    My new ipad 4 will not charge when I plug it in with wall adapter? It shows the low red battery, the charge sign but also shows the plug in sign. The plug in does not go away.

    If the battery has been completely depleted it may take more than an hour before the iPad becomes responsive again. Leave it on the charger overnight. If it does not charge up by the next morning make an appointment at an Apple store to have it looked at.

  • TA44551 my i pod classic will play works great! in a dock but will not charge ( after new battery ) HELP !!!

    I have an older Ipod classic it plays on everything i have . Recently replaced the battery because it would not take charg .After new battery it plays through several defferent devices but it will not CHARG !!!    HELP!!!!

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                          
    Also:
    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 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.

  • IPad 2 Will Not Charge with Apple Charger, Soft Reset, Full Restore, etc. Advice is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Everyone,
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    I have an iPad 2, which was purchased online in May 2012. My iPad will not charge - the upper right-hand corner shows a charging symbol, but the iPad does not gain power. I have tried the following:
    Charging the iPad with the APPLE USB cable and APPLE wall plug provided with the iPad in several different wall outlets
    Charging with another, alternate apple cable (in case the apple cable I was using wasn't working)
    Charging with an non-apple cable and plug into a wall socket
    Charging the iPad with an apple cable into my Mac
    Charging the iPad into a non-apple laptop
    Performing a soft reset, by pushing the home button and power key down until the iPad reset (tried this several times, before and after full restore)
    Performing a full restore, which involved updating my iPad to version 6.0, wiping the iPad clean, and then restoring it from a back-up (tried this several times)
    Charging the iPad while completely powered off
    Letting the iPad completely die, and then charging it - it took me several weeks to get any power back and for the red charging symbol to go away - I did this by leaving it plug into my non-mac laptop for several days, after which it finally charged it back to 14%, showing the "Not Charging symbol" the whole time.
    Removing my case off the iPad (in case the case was blocking the proper insertion of the USB cable)
    Blowing on the iPad port to remove blockage from dust, etc.
    At this point, I'm not sure what else I can try. I combed the support threads thoroughly to ensure I didn't miss any other options, but I am hoping someone else may have thought of something I didn't try. I know that the fastest way to charge the iPad is to use the 10w USB cable provided by apple, into an outlet. I have tried this several times - it doesn't work. The charging symbol shows up in the right hand upper corner, but the display does not show a charging battery, and the iPad does not increase in charge.
    I do not live in a city with an Apple Store, so I am hoping you all can provide me with a solution, as it will be a 10+ hour round trip to get this resolved in person, in store.
    Your patience and assistance is appreciated.

    When you say " tried to reset it ", does that mean you tried holding down Home and Sleep till the screen went black and a white Apple logo appeared? That usually resets my batteries and lets them reach 100% charge.
    If all fails and the device has a few years on it, the battery may very well be dead. Happens to all rechargeables. A trip to the Store for assessment will be inevitable to check the charger, cable and device. And if needed, a battery replacement alternative will be offered.

  • My iPhone 5c will not charge with ant charger

    - I love Apple but they are really getting on my nerves, I have had top send back 2 ipods(one they actually had the balls to charge me for shipping) because of battery issues( the battery would only hold a charge for 20 minutes)
    MESSAGE TO APPLE!!! either lower you price or build your products in the USA so we can get quality product. Having to send a computer to you for repair is not the answer, you owe your users more than that for the price you charge.
    sincerly,

    My wife bought me a new powerbook for christmas and I got it Jan 3rd 06.
    Take it out of the box and set it up. Battery doesn't charge! won't Charge and apparently is a placebo! 2000.00 dollars, and counting. Imagine buying a new car without a battery under the hood! What the is going on??? I Go down to the apple retail store and they have NO 15" power books and no batteries because this is a big problem. They have been authorized to just swap out the computer, and or swap the battery. They are out of both till who knows when, (7 to 10 days ).! On the eve of the MAC WORLD CONFRENCE I am feeling sick about the whole IDEA that these power books were all sent out like this Apple should get them back before they are sent to consumers!! Apple and the reputation they have of being HIGH qaulity and RELIABLE is in trouble. How many class action law suites, POOR MERCHANDISE, ( I SENT BACK A NANO- CRACKED SCREEN and A PHOTO ipod that was purchased last Christmas- 400.00 dollar and a bum battery) Lets not forget the original ipod
    LAW SUITE AND ALL, I had one sorry to admit. Qaulity is going down with Qaunity. I'm afraid to see what happens with the NEW intel Computers. It could just get worse. I just wanted to go wireless and I don't have a battery to
    do that. So as I watch the mac confrence on my new 2000.00doller computer and am tethered to an Electical out let while getting stream from my new base station, I will certainly be thinking about how APPLE claims their stuff ALWAYS works better than a widows machine.... or does it really?
