2 x ipods 1 will play music on docking staitons x 3 the other will only charge
I have 2 ipods in this house and 3 docking stations. The first ipod is the 4th generation 8gb and the second is a 16gb 4th generation.
The 8gb ipod will charge and play music on all 3 docking stations, however, the 16gb will only charge on all of them. I am tearing my hair out trying to figure out whether it is the ipod or not. i have matched the settings on both ipods so they are the same and still no music on the docking station.
I would be really greatful if anyone can shed some light on this for me, coz im dammed if i know!!!!!!!
Do both had the same iOS version?
Try:
- Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My Ipod touch doesnot play music via docking station of microset, but is charging
my Ipod touch doesnot play music via docking station of microset, but is charging. We have already restored the settings of the Ipod but it doesnor help. Please your advice.
Yes the manufacturer (Philips) says that the device (CD player with a docking station) should work with my IPod+iOS 6.2.1; we've updated the Ipod to iOS 6.2.1.
We've bought the device this week, so I assume the firmware is up-to-date...
My Ipod also does not work on another device with Apple-docking station, whereas other Ipods do connect with my new Philips device. I think it is pretty clear that my Ipod is the problem?
I think we'd best go to an Applo store? -
My sons iPod touch will only charge with computer. This has happened since update. Wall charger charges other iPods/iPhone. Restored to original defaults. And still does not work.
I believe it started with the update prior to 5.1.1. I just udated it to the 5.1.1, thinking it would resolve the problem.

Ipod touch will only charge in docking station after 3.0 upgrade
Prior to my recent (this week) upgrade to 3.0, my ipod touch could charge off of my desktop computer, my laptop, and my Apple USB wall charger adapter. That adapter is not the current version, but the prior model. Since I've done the upgrade, the ipod touch no longer recognizes it's attached to the adapter (and the wall outlet) or to the USB cable and computer. I am using the Apple supplied USB cable, so it is not a matter of using non apple equipment or Firewire. This week, it will only charge using a lamp that has a docking station. I've had the ipod touch about 4 months, and didn't have this issue until the 3.0 upgrade. Does anyone else have this problem and any ideas on how to fix it?
If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then

IPod classic will only charge from my computer
I have an iPod Classic 80gb and it won't charge from my wall charger or my car charger it will only charge from my iMac and MacBook Pro what can I do to fix this.
If it charges from your computer, then there is nothing wrong with your iPod charging. The problem then goes to your charger.
just in case, try a 12w charger or use a different charger. -
Ipod touch will only charge when I press up on the charger
My ipod isn't recognizing the USB wire properly, and will only charge when I press it in a certain way (where the wire connects to the ipod)
please help!Have you tried another cable?
Do you have a wall charger? If so, have you used it and tried other outlets?

MY phone worked fine with the docking station before upgrading to ios7 now it's not playing music but still charging the phone, anyone have any ideas to what I could do to fix this please?
Restore your iPhone the updates may have corrupted your iOS installation

My IPhone works with both the charging USB cable as well as the wall socket and docking station. Additionally, my IPod used to charge using both the wall socket plug in and the docking station. My IPod will stay play music when plugged into the docking station, but won't charge. Further, when I plug my IPod into my computer all it will do is charge and is not recognized by ITunes. I have done both a soft and hard reset.

My ipod touch will only charge on my computer. What should I do?
I have an iPod touch 3rd generation 32GB with iOS 4.3.3 that will charge and sync on my computer. But if it is plugged into a wall, car, or dock charger it will not charge. I believe it is a software problem because it works on the computer. I have already tried: going into settings>General>Reset> Reset all settings, I did a full restore through iTunes, I have tried out many different chargers, I updated to the latest iOS and still I have had no luck. I'm pretty smart about technological things but I just can't figure this thing out.
Thanks so much for any help!Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.

My ipod nano will only charge in my computer
I have a 4gen ipod nano, that used to charge with the power adapter, my speakers, my car and my computer but now, none of them would work, except my computer
What other (besides computer) charging source are you trying?
What do y mean by " cord and cable"? I am confused by the term "and" since the they are one and the same -
My 16 gb ipod touch will only charge with the ac adaptor
my ipod touch charges with my ac adaptor only, and no the usb charger. any ideas?
Agreed about trying a different USB port. But, if your iTunes is recognizing your iPod from a given USB port, I would expect it would also charge from the port.

My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!
Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Ipod touch was playing music and now I try to select a song to play and it does not play but blinks and takes me back to the playlist. It happens to every song I select. I have already tried to power it off and power back on it does not work still
Perhaps [iPod does not play content purchased from the iTunes Store|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1510] or [Troubleshooting songs that skip on iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26488?viewlocale=en_US] will help.
Good luck!
