5g 30gb u2 ipod will only charge, and is not being recognized by my computer (windows vista)?
i've tried everything and then just yesterday I tried to sync it and i did. but today it won't pick it up. it just lays there charging
this has been going on for like 3 months already!
I am afraid that the solution did not work... the ipod touch of mine seems really not functioning. It receives an electric isgnal from the computer but it doesnt sync at all... Whenever I put my ipod touch off and plug it to my computer it turns on but it doesnt sync... .. Moreover, I have used different PCs so as to try it syncing.. I have used mac book pro and windows 7 laptops but it gives similar feedback, which is NO FEEDBACK at all...

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.

My iPod touch 5th gen went black and is not being recognized by my computer?
My iPod touch 5th gen was working perfectly fine about an hour ago i was taking pictures talking to my friends. I had it in my pocket for about 30 mins without using it and when I went to grab and check on it went completely back and I thought it was dead but I remembered it was charged more than half way. When I got home I plugged it in my computer and it doesn't appear on my computer what do I do?
Dang, if you had a Windows, I'd definitely be able to help you. Maybe try restarting your computer, & re-installing the Apple Mobile Device Support & iTunes under your "programs" on your computer settings. Idk if this helps because I have Windows not Mac :/ Best of luck.

Now, about 20 minutes ago, I notices that it's not even recognizing the battery at all. So, now I'm trying to figure it out.
I received this laptop from school. I'm am a graphic design student and I have never really used a Mac before...I just want to know if it's just the battery or if I need a whole new one.
Please help!?!?! What do I need to do? What the hecks is wrong with it??

Unplug the computer. Remove the battery. Hold down the power button for *5 seconds.* Put the battery back in. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
Unfortunately technology is not perfect and you may have received a dud. But that's a load of crap that the school won't take it back. Did you get it at your school's computer store, or is it used and they gave them away? If you got it from the store, then there's no reason why they shouldn't take it back. Ask to speak to a manager. -
I have restarted, reset, erased all data and network settings, tried different ports and different cords, restarted computers, reinstalled and updated iTunes... and now I cannot use my iPod at all. It is less than 6 months old, Apple won't help me on the phone unless I pay, and the nearest apple store is 2 hours away.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- 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.

My ipod is not getting charged, and its not being recognized by windows
The day before, i left my ipod in the bathroom for the whole day without doing anything to it. Yes, the battery was already drained i just didn't charge it.
Today, I connected my ipod to my computer to charge but nothign is happening. Usually it'll say say something like "please wait very low battery", but as of now its completely blank. I did the basic troubleshooting procedures, reseting, restarting pc, updating... etc. I also tried to connect to a different computer but it still doesnt' work. I always leave the cable connected to the pc sitting on my desk and i'm positive nothign happenend to it, unless it broke while sitting on a table. I've had this ipod for bout 8 months now and this has never happened.
Is there anything else i can do to fix this before sending it to apple?
Thanks1. Battery life IS directly related to quantity of charge cycles.
2. I never heard the "400" figure. Where did you get it from?
3. Even if "400" is correct, the battery could have been defective from the start and perhaps this one can take only 100 charge cycles. For what it's worth, it does seem like it died too soon. From what I've seen here on the forums, batteries typically ast 18 to 24 months, obviously dependent on usage.
4. I could be totally wrong about the battery being shot! I just can't imagine what else it could be.
All the above notwithstanding...
I don't think that the magnet storage is a good idea but I don't think that it would cause this problem. Unfortunately, the bottom line is that you can't do any testing or try any of the basic repair sequences if you can't charge the iPod. If you're close to an Apple Store (owned and operated by Apple), take it to the "Genius Guy" or whatever he's really called. You will need an appointment. Don't tell Apple about the magnets! -
my ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. I'm not sure what generation it is, its an 80GB. Help?
The battery is possibly unable to take as much power as a normal battery. It may need a replacement battery.

my ipod will only charge when i fiddle with it and hold it in a weird position, i've tried a 2 new chargers but i still have the same problem, any ideas what to do?
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
- 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 touch only charges when its not in use and doesn't come up with the charging symbol. Please help cheers
First try another charging source. Maybe the source yo are using is not putting out enough pwere when the screen is on.
Next try:
- 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. -

So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!
- I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod. try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

My ipod nano 5th gen. wont turn on and is not being recognized on my mac or itunes
my ipod nano 5th gen. wont turn on and is not being recognized on my mac or itunes
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? After leaving the Nano to sit and charge for at least 30 minutes, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. You'll want to make sure the Hold Switch is not in the On position as well.
