4th generation nano won't charge

I have a 4th generation Nano and it won't charge. Tried to charge it on the computer as well as a adapted stereo. Itunes does not recognise it either.
Worked fine up until today. How can I get it to work? My OS is windows. Nano has now lost all charge...Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

See here: iPod's battery doesn't charge
Leave it to charge for a few hours.  Then come back and reset it if necessary.
If nothing else, it's likely a sign of a dead battery that needs to be replaced.

  • 4th generation Nano won't charge with stereo.

    My 2nd generation just decided to die. I've had it integrated with my car stereo and it was working great until this morning when it just died. So, I decided to use the 4th generation that I had connect to my Bose system. To my surprise the Nano said that it wouldn't charge. This is a relatively new $2K+ stereo so I'm not happy with the Nano right now. Just for grins, I tried a friends 3rd generation Nano and it seems happy  to charge. Any ideas what has changed between these generations? Any (non-xrated) suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    - 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.

  • My 4th Generation Nano skips songs and won't play some of them

    So, over the past couple of days while I put my 4th Generation Nano on Shuffle mode, it will skip over some songs. Not a delayed reaction, but... say I skip one song. Then it'lll skip over a few, and when I hit the back arrow, it won't play it.
    Also, as an example, I was listening to Alesana, then it suddenly switched to Disturbed, then skipped over it, and started to play Bullet For My Valentine. When I went to go click back to play Disturbed, it wouldn't play and skipped back to BFMV.
    Help?
    And one more thing, my iPod has been also doing this weird thing where it will say it's playing one song, then be playing another. Such as... it will say it is playing Apology by Alesana, and really be playing Guarded by Disturbed.
    Is there any possible way to fix this? I've tried restoring it on iTunes, and reseting my iPod multiple times. It's only 3 years old, I don't want to have to bury it this soon! D:

    If that didn't work you should try downloading the Latest iPod Updater and then Restoring the iPod to factory settings.

  • HT1435 my 3rd generation iPod nano won't charge

    My 3rd generation iPod nano won't charge and when i connect it, it shows up charging then the screen goes black and wont work. Can i get it replaced for a new one? or a different one? What can i do?

    Try these steps listed below.
    1. Run “c:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc” (i.e. *Device Manager*), and leave it open for now for later use
    2. Start up iTunes
    3. Next, connect your iPod.
    4. Go to your iPod Settings and select the “Enable disk use” option from under theSummary tab.
    5. A dialog box will pop up reminding you that you’ll need to manually eject. Go ahead and hit OK
    6. Hit Apply to save changes to the iPod
    7. Quickly switch to the Device Manager window and right-click on any item within the window and select “Scan for hardware changes”
    8. Finally, switch back to iTunes, and try re-syncing your iPod to see if it helped.
    It might not also hurt to trash your iPod's Photo cache if it has one (i.e. you sync photos to the iPod).  See this article for information on where to find this folder on your Windows XP machine.

    Then it's time to take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you. 

  • 4th generation nano -- which docking speakers DO charge??

    Hey, there --
    I've read LOTS about how all the old technology does not match with the charging requirements of my daughter's 16 GB 4th generation nano (and experienced this, as well). Does anyone have a set of docking speakers that 1) has an AC adapter, and 2) DOES charge your 4th gen nano?
    Also, I've seen several links to this Scosche adapter (http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/318/productID/1695); has anyone actually used one? Does it work?

    To list just a few.
    And the adapter works, but to be sure email them with the model number of the system you will be using it with and they will let you know if it is compatible.

  • My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel, I tried the method where you hold the home and lock button lots of times and it hasn't worked! What do I do?

    My question won't all fit in but it says 'My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel. What do I do?'
    I've had this problem from about two weeks and I forgot about it, but today I wanted to play on it and remembered that it's not working, I've tried connecting it to iTunes via my laptop but I'm not to sure how to update it because I thought that might fix it, but no luck. I've tried the trick where you hold the lock and home button but nothing happened apart from it just went back to the apple logo and then to the frozen loading symbol/wheel. I need help!

    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.

  • Need help with accessories for new 4th Generation Nano-speakers, etc

    I just purchased the new 16GB 4th generation nano and I want accessories to play with it but am concerned with compatibility and charing issues. I am new to this so my questions may not make sense!
    1. I am looking for speakers and the Logitech Anywhere Speakers have good reviews. Will I be able to play my Nano with these and charge it? If not, what ones will that are reasonably priced?
    2. What accessory can I use to play my nano in my car (older model) that will also charge it? Or are there no accessories for this as of yet.
    3. If I want to plug it into a stereo, I only need the mini/RCA cable converter, correct?
    4. To plug into the wall, I need the USB adapter-but do I need a dock as well?
    Thank you and sorry for such simple questions! This is my first iPod! :-D

    2. If you have a cassette adaptor with the 3.5mm audio plug and want to also charge your iPod. You can plug it into a Griffin AutoPilot.
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/autopilot
    For the car with no tape or aux you need an FM transmitter, if your in a city with a lot of stations you will get interferance (I was glad to dump mine when I got a new car). Most are 12 volt! The Griffin iTrip has 5 volt charge and works with the iPod Nano 4th Gen.
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itripautopilot
    Griffin seems to be one of the few companies that switched to 5 volt charging some time ago.
    3. A line out cable is something like this...
    http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-35507-Connector-Cable/dp/B000JG3WBY/ref=sr111?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1221776257&sr=1-11
    Better then using the headphone jack to hook up to a stereo.
    4. For the dock a 3.5mm to RCA cable should be all you need to get line out to your stereo.

  • My 4th generation nano is no longer associated with my account

    I completed the trouble shooting steps suggested by Apple but my nano is still not an associated device under my iTunes account.  I have no idea how to fix this! Pls help!

    ??? A 4th generation nano doesn't get "associated" with your account. You load media onto it from an iTunes library. "Association" is for computers or IOS devices. "Authorization" is just for computers.

    Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.

    My iPod Touch 4th generation just won't download apps. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!

    Hi, when you say you have tried everything... I presume you have gone into Settings > Store and logged out and back in with your account details?
    You could try purchasing an app via iTunes to see if its an issue with the device or the account you're using.
    Hope this helps.
