  • Ipod Nano 7th Gen only charges when connected

    So my friend had her Ipod Nano 7th generation laying around. She bought it from someone else. They both could not figure out how to use it so they kept selling it off cheap. I ended up getting it for a good price only  to come home, plug it into my computer, and all it does is charge it. My computer doesn't even recognize a device is plugged into it. I've downloaded, reinstalled, and made sure Itunes was updated but that's not the problem. The computer alone doesn't even seem to know its there.
    The last time I had an ipod like this, I remember just having to right click on it in my devices and then go to Itunes and it was there. But with it being connected to my computer right now, full battery... It is like its invisible.
    What I have all tried is below
    Making sure Itunes is updated
    Restarted Computer
    Connected and reconnected Ipod Nano
    Held Center Button and Power button to reset it
    Did the same thing to try and put it into disk mode
    Reconnected the ipod to every possible USB port on my computer (3 different spots)
    I feel like there was something missing when she dropped this off. When she delivered it, it came with the sync/charge cable, the ipod, and the arm band. Please help.

    I believe you may have discovered why multiple people "kept selling it off cheap".
    Unfortunately, it seems like the "good price" you got it for was a bit too high... Drop it in the recycle bin at your local electronics store the next time you're there.

  • IPod only charges when connect to the Mac

    My iPod will only charge when connected to the Mac.  It will not charge on any other cable or docking station.  And, yes, I have tested the various cables and docking stations with other devices and the issue is clearly only with this one device.  I am note sure what generation the device is, but it is old enough that it cannot run iOS 7.  It is on iOS 6.1.5.
    Thanks

    Then it seems that the other sources do not work satisfactorily. Do the other charging sources charge other devices?

  • My Ipod touch 4th gen. only shows the "connect to Itunes" screen.

    I think this happened after an Ipod update.  I can turn it off and on, but the only screen I get is the "connect to Itunes" screen ( usb cord with arrow to itunes logo).  I have tried to restart, restore, but nothing works.  I have also reinstalled Itunes.  The Ipod is not recognized in Itunes, either.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

  • My iPhone 4s will not charge using wall charger unit. It will only charge when connect to my computer UBS., My iPhone 4s will not charge using wall charger unit. It will only charge when connect to my computer UBS.

    For about a month, I have to charge my iPhone 4S using my laptop UBS connection. It will not charge from the wall unit. I always update the OS. Is there any settings that I might have changed by mistake?

    I have the same issue with my partners 4S.  I have a iphone 4 and my phone works on mains powers - we have 3 different charges we have all tried on hers and do not work but work on mine.  We have tried every outlet in the house and same issue, works on mine doesnt work on her 4S.
    The issue only started about a month ago.  It started with only charging from mains if turned off - then the phone would refuse to stay turned off - now it wont charge at all from mains but works fine from a PC.
    Its a very odd one as if it was something wrong with the docking port it surely shouldnt work through PC then? 

  • New computer, up to date itunes installed but now my 1st gen shuffle won't charge, it is seen by itunes have loaded music into the ipod but just won't charge when connected to itunes HELP PLease

  • Though my itouch 5th Gen. will charge when connected to my computer, it doesn't show up as connected in itunes or on my computer under devices at all.  Please help!

    As stated in the question, I have no idea whether it's a problem with my USB cord, my computer, or itouch.  If it helps any, there is a small scrape on the metal part of my USB on the itouch side, but it's a pretty insignificant mark.

    Try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would also try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod/cable or computer problem.
    There can be a cable problem since different conductors are used for charging and syncing.

  • Not charging when connected to iTunes

    Can anyone help, our 2nd generation iPod Shuffle stops charging (i.e. the orange light stops blinking) when iTunes comes on the computer.  So as soon as I connect the shuffle it blinks orange but then when iTunes automatically comes on it stops.  I have been into settings to stop iTunes coming on when I connect the shuffle and that allows the orange light to continue blinking.  iTunes recognises the shuffle and allows me to sync with it, but as soon as syncing has stopped the light just goes off.  This never used to be the case - is anyone experiencing the same problem and does anyone have a solution?  I've got the most up to date version of iTunes and I've checked for software updates for the shuffle.  This all seems to have happened since purchasing a new laptop.  Do I need to restore - if so what does that do?
    Thank you to anyone who can help.

    Thanks.. I thought the same when I noticed that after 30 mins of hooking to the laptop it got charged only 2%..
    Thanks again for the promt response

  • My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer.  It will, however, charge to the car or wall.  The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.

    My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer.  It will, however, charge to the car or wall.  The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.  I've since deleted this podcast with no luck.  I've restarted both the phone and the computer, still no luck.  One computer is running Vista and the other Windows 7, both have the latest Itunes Update.  Anyone have a fix for this?

I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

    Nonsense, and very misleading advice.  I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4  through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones.  Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either.  Hack your phone and have update problems?  I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.
