4th Gen. ipod. No longer charges from wall socket. Still can charge from computer. Wall power adapter and cord both work fine on other devices. Wall Why?

4th Generation ipod. Used to charge fine from wall socket (cord and USB adapter) and could also charge on the computer. Suddenly stopped charging from the wall. The same cord and adapter still work for my iphone, so there is not problem with either of them. What has changed? Why won't the ipod charge from the wall anymore? Is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks! It didn't actually work with the one I was using to charge the computer either. We had tried the computer cable with the power adapter, and it didn't work to charge the ipod, though it does charge my iphone. Following your idea further, I waited for my husband to get home from a trip and tried one of his extra cables he keeps in his backpack. That cable worked in with the USB power adaptor. I had thought that because the cable I use on my computer charges my iphone through the USB power adapter or the computer, and that it charged the ipod through the computer that it was fully functional. Apparantly not. Thanks again.

- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks?
- Use the communities search box in the upper right and search for:bthome
Other users have has similar problems with tBThome routers.

TS4085 After updating my iPhone 4s and my iPad 2 to iOS 5.1 I can no longer use the mirroring or AirPlay features with my Apple TV. Before the update it worked fine on all devices. After the update the AirPlay or mirroring icon no longer shows up.

I went through all the troubleshooting steps and it still does not work. Checked wifi, home sharing , Internet connection, etc... Anyone have a solution?

Is your Apple TV "awake"? Sometimes the AirPlay icon won't show for me if the Apple TV is sleeping - pressing a key on the Apple remote ususally resolves it.

Cure 1: Charge the iPod. Be sure you're charging it from a working power source. An iPod will not charge when it's attached to a sleeping computer.
If your iPod is locked up, unlock it and reset it. Reset it by holding down the Play and Select button for about six seconds.
If your iPod won't charge even after your iPod has been plugged into a power receptacle for a long time, try a different cable. A damaged cable may prevent the iPod from charging. (Don't have a spare cable? Apple stores are really handy, take your iPod in and just plug it into one of the cables they've got lying around to see if that does it.
If that doesnt work, the battery may be dead. Get it replaced.

4th gen ipod, need help on what has gone wrong...

i have a 4th gen ipod, bought less than a year ago still under warranty. the ipod service site for some reason is having trouble with my billing address for the shipping charges. when i type in my billing address (which is the same as my shipping address), it says "more than one jurisdiction possible (0,0)).
ANYWAY
the problem with my ipod is that, a couple weeks ago, the ipod seemed to not be holding that great of a charge, but no big deal. than it reset itself a couple of times within short periods of usage. then, the ipod will not work without a power source, or when its plugged into an outlet. only when plugged into a usb port. i get the ipod update software, install it, then it tells me to plug the ipod into a wall outlet.
NOW, it cannot be recognized by the computer, no charge, and when i press a button to "wake" it, it just shows me a screen with a picture of a wall outlet. i left it plugged into the outlet all weekend. NOTHING.
oh, and when it would only charge with the usb port, every once in a while the computer would have a pop up that says "the usb hardware you have just plugged in has malfunctioned".
since i am having trouble with the ipod service, suggestions? this sound like a dead battery? if it is, i might take a chance and install it myself so i dont have to wait so long for it to be serviced.
thanks and p.s. i dont proofread my posts (habit)

Get a new battery put in it.

My daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck. help!

my daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck, home+power for 10-15 seconds. I really would like to not lose everything she has, again, because I can't back it up this time. I have tried charging via a wall outlet and PC and both charge fine, just only to 20%. I am using the cable that came with it so no aftermarket issues there. Please help so I don't have to reset everything again.

Because once it has charged enough to be powered on as soon as you turn it on it says battery is at 20% and will not charge anymore after that, it just runs for about 5-10 minutes before the battery dies again. The battery cycles discharge/recharge daily and its not on the charger at full charge for more than a couple hours and is never totally dead for more than a couple of hours.

I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb

I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.

Hi johnsmiff99,
That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.

My 4th gen Ipod Touch won't turn on/charge?

I have the 4th Gen Ipod touch. I was using it after it had been saying 20% battery remaining for awhile. I locked the screen, then I tryed to press the power button again to unlock it but it wouldn't work. I automatically assumed it had died completely so I tried plugging it in to charge. Even after letting it sit for a while it will not charge or turn on. I tried plugging it into a computer to charge as well, but my computer still wouldn't pick up on it. I tried the usual "hold down power button and home button at the same time for a few seconds" thing, but that was useless because my home button barely works. I cannot plug the ipod into a computer to restore it anyway, because my stuff isn't backed up and I am on iOS 4.something (as the original computer i had my iTunes on stopped working, so I havent been able to update it) so I will lose all my photos and music (I didn't purchase all my music from the itunes store). Does anybody have any suggestions? I tried calling Apple but Im out of warranty so they wouldn't help me, and theres only one Apple store in my state (and its nearly 4 hours away) so I'm basically screwed, right?

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.
- 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 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.

My 4th gen iPod touch has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on

I have a 4th gen iPod touch. It has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on. I cannot restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. I have tried pressing and holding the home and/or the power key but that does not work as well. I have tried restarting Apple Mobile Support. I have updated my iTunes. I have tried EVERYTHING but it will not turn on at all. Any suggestions?

Hi BCarolinaCopper,
This sounds like you need to have a battery replacment this can be done if you have AppleCare or you will have to pay if unable to if the fault continues please
visit a apple store genuis bar contact them via this link or https://www.apple.com/uk/retail/geniusbar/ or through the support on https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
Good Luck

HT1430 My 4th Gen iPod touch will not turn, doesnt charge, and i can't reset in computer because it says it is protected by a passcode, but i cant enter pass code because the screen stays black and won't even light up... What do I do

My 4th gen iPod Touch has had a blank screen for about 3-4 weeks now, it will not turn on, sync, or charge. iTunes recognizes its plugged up, but i cant reset it because it says its passcode protected, but i cant enter passcode due to screen not lighting up or working. How do i fix this?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az
