2nd Gen iPod will not charge in Windows 7 machine.

My 2nd Gen ipod will sync to iTunes just fine, but will not charge.  Windows 7 shows a problem (yellow triangle) in Devices.  I've got the latest Windows Updates, iTunes version, and iPod update.  It works fine with our Windows Vista machines, just not my newer Win 7 laptop.  What is going on?

Is the iPod being plugged into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the Win 7 machine?  Are there any other USB devices plugged into the Win 7 machine? If so, remove them, reboot the machine and reconnect the Shuffle.

  • 3rd Gen Ipod Will Not Charge on Wall Charger

    I have a 3rd Generation non- click-wheel Ipod.
    Stock Cords
    Never opened up
    Dock
    No way of charging it on my computer (usb 1.1 and 4 pin firewire)
    I recently bought a wall charger, and I plug it in, and nothing happens. I am really anxious to use my ipod (I got it used) but I can't charge it. I have put it on a firewire and I has charged that way. But I have never charged it via usb or through my charger. Is my USB cord broken or is it my Wall charger (or possibly the ipod)? Any help or other ways to charge it under $40 USD would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Please check out the following

    If your iPod is (dock connector) it will not charge over USB2. Charging this unit requries a built in 6 pins firewire port or the firewire iPod Power adapter

  • 2nd gen ipod will not work or neither of 2 computers will recognize it

    My Daughters nano 2nd gen just stopped working, it will not do anything, "froze" up solid as she says.
    I have gone through the "5Rs" but nothing will make the ipod show any life and nothing seems able to make the computer see the ipod. I can't do the "restore" option because the computer needs to acknowledge the ipod to complete that step.
    I have 2 computers and neither computer recognizes the ipod at all. i have read all the troubleshooting tips, all the tips in the discussions any other suggestions, we are 4 hours away from an "Apple Store"
    I am really new to this iPod world, and it appears there is nothing to friendly about it when it comes to this,

    I am also having a similar problem when i try to connect my ipod it comes up with the error message "the software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. please reinstall itunes to install the ipods software."
    i ran itunes diagnostics and it said that itunes helper is not running.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes many times doing the full uninstall as outlined on the support page. I have also tried installing an older version of itunes but this did not work either. I checked msconfig and ituneshelper.exe is selected to load at startup but when i check task manager it is not there.
    Is there any way to fix this problem. I have been trying for two whole days to sort this. I have tried the ipod on other computers and it works fine so i am certain there is nothing wrong with the ipod.

  • 2nd gen ipod touch not charging

    When i plug my ipod into charge it says its charging and it gives it a little juice but it wont charge past 10%. The ipod will do weird things like randomly going to the unlock page when i havnt even touched it. It only acts weird when the charger is on it. ive tried multiple cords and wall chargers. is it the charging port or the battery? or both?

    Sounds like the battery. But better make sure before you send it in. Sorry.

  • 4th Gen iPod will not mount or connect to Windows

    Hi, one of my iPods will not connect to Windows XP. Its a 4th Gen 40gb non photo iPod
    The iPod still plays and works "normally" as a portable device (ie I can play music), but I cannot connect it to my pc at all.
    When I plug it in via either USB or Firewire ports the iPod disc whirrs and gets stuck in a loop (that can last over 2 hours plus) before i need to reset it in order to disconnect it from the pc.
    When I connect, it doesn't launch iTunes as it should.
    It doesn't appear in My Computer.
    It doesnt appear in Computer Management>Disk Management
    Latest iPod updater cannot read it (even when put in disk mode) and tells me that it can't mount the iPod.
    Also, the iPod has since started to mess my PC up - it will not allow the PC to boot up with the iPod connected. If I connect the iPod to the PC with iTunes already launched it causes iTunes to freeze and crash. When I go to restart the PC, Windows will not shutdown.
    Getting sick now - any ideas please (besides throwing it out the window!)?
    It's weird how the iPod still plays, but it will not connect to the PC when my other 4G 30gb photo and Shuffle will.

    I have tried resetting and restoring the ipod before, and I have put it into disk mode too (in order to restore it) but the ipod updater said it could not mount it
    However, I did try Deanz advice by putting it into disk mode whilst attached to the mains and then connecting it to the PC has at least enabled me to see it in "My Computer" for the first time as (the "F" drive), even if iTunes is not recognising it.
    However, when I attempt to see the ipod in Disk Management I get the same problem outlined above in an earlier post (grey screen).
    If I try to browse the iPod via My computer that task freezes. Task Manager claims the function is "not responding"
    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
    Anyway, all my music is backed up so that's not a problem. The iPod works, but I can't update it so it could be worse. Not really sure how to remap the iPod to a different drive letter
    [edit] During the process of closing down the non-responsive "My Computer", Windows had a major gimp out and completely froze me out until I reset the ipod an put it back into disc mode (again). Then Windows reappeared in the same state before it crashed. I suspect this is due to some kind of conflict with the iPod as it has done this a few times now since my iPod started acting up (and only when the iPod is connected).
    Thinking of some elaborate home insurance claim now..............

  • I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer.

    I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer.  I can prompt itunes, sync, and add/delete songs, but not charge.  I've tried to restore but that didn't work.  Advice?

    Without telling us what computer models and OS versions, as well as how you're trying to update, not much help can be given.  It has nothing to do with the number of computers you have. 
    This question should be posted in the iTunes forum, not the iPhone.

  • My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

    My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
    Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

    Hi there Apples or Pears,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

    - 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.

  • My iPod will NOT charge anymore while it's turned on

    My iPod will NOT charge anymore while it's turned on, I have to plug it in then shut it off for it to charge. And when I connect it to the computer [Or any computer] It Says it cannot recognize the device..I've tried EVERYTHING to fix this...and I don't know if I should call apple or go back to where I bought it and ask for help?..

    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod from backup

  • IPod will not charge or show up in iTunes

    My iPod will not charge when I connect it to my computer through the USB cable. It does not show up on iTunes. Nothing comes up on the iPod screen at all. The iPod is completely dead. I have tried pressing the menu and center button at the same time. I have tried toggling the hold button. I have tried every combination. It is an old iPod (3 or 4 years at least) 80gb video. I have tried charging on another computer. It seems to only stop working like this if the battery dies completely.
    Is there another solution to this besides the menu/center button solution?
    Thanks!!

    This is the exact same problem I have. The only thing that works for me is to charge it on an old ihome alarm clock. I bought the alarm clock at the same time as the ipod, and I haven't tried it on a newer ihome device. Once my ipod is totally dead, thats the only thing that will work. I even took it to the apple store and they told me all they could do was give me 10% off a new ipod and "recycle" mine. Before you do that, I would really recommend trying to charge it on an ihome or similar device. Here is a link to the ihome I used to charge mine: http://www.uberreview.com/2005/06/ihome-ih5-ipod-alarm-clock.htm
    I hope this works for you!

  • TS2634 MY IPOD WILL NOT CHARGE.  WHAT DOES BATTERY REPLACEMENT COST?

    Apple charges $79. A third-party place like the following is less expensive. Google for more places.
