Can't charge Nano - is the firmware an issue?

I was trying to revert back to the original firmware after running into the bug introduced in the iPod Updater released in January, in which the stars/ratings screen won't go away.
So, I uninstalled the updater and installed the updater from the CD. Unforunately, I picked the wrong CD. I used the CD that came with my old 3rd generation iPod, not the one that came with the Nano.
So, I dropped the 3G firmware onto the Nano, and naturally, it didn't work. I saw the old warning graphics, and then it died, because I think it can't charge with the old firmware.
Any ideas on how I can get it charged so it'll start, and I can load the proper firmware? I'm thinking of digging out my old fireware cable and seeing if it can charge through that.

Please help me !!

The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes.

Can no longer charge Nano with the USB cable

My iPod Nano (1st gen) won't charge via the USB cable any more. It will sync if there is enough battery life when I hook it up to the USB cable. However, if I leave it hooked up, it gets drained of all it's battery life. Fortunately I have a wall charger and a car charger and both of them will charge the Nano. It's a lot more convenient for me to charge it via my computer, but that's not possible any more. Is my Nano dying or is it possible the USB cable is damaged? If it's damaged, how can it sync but not charge? Why can I charge with other power sources but not the cable? Unfortunately, I don't have another iPod cable to test if the cable is damaged. If my Nano is dying, can you give me a rough estimate as to how long it will be before it stops charging all together. (I need to prepare my spouse for the upcoming iPod Touch purchase that will appear on credit card.)
Thanks.........Julie

Here's my own trial and error analysis of my problem. I hooked my iPod up to my old G4 PowerBook and tried to charge it from there. It didn't charge but it also didn't lose any more power that I could tell. I then hooked it up to my MacBook's first USB slot. I heard that the first slot has more power than the 2nd slot due to the way the 2 USB ports are configured. Unfortunately, the iPod appeared to have lost some power, i.e. the USB port drained some of the power from the iPod.
I'm guessing I need to take it in to have my USB ports checked out. I prefer to take it to an Apple store with a Genius bar that is 3 hours away instead of to our "local" Apple repair shop that is an hour away. I have Apple Care and I believe my local shop will still charge me for time.
Thanks for the suggestions. Until I find a day when I can take the long drive, I'll just charge my iPod from with a wall charger. I'm grateful the iPod syncs and I have an alternate way to charge.

How can I charge Nano 4th Generation without a computer?

I don't have a laptop and when I travel I don't have access to a computer a lot of the time. How can I charge a Nano 4th Generation iPod using an electical outlet. Is there an accessory I need to buy or must I travel with my 3rd Generation iPod? HELP!!!!

Hello stormonyc,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes, if no USB ports are availabe you will have to purchase an Apple branded or third party wall charger for it.
Here is a third party one.

I can´t organize files on my Zen Micro using MP10 (and can I get rid of the firmwar

Hi, I installed the software that came with the Zen, the first one hung up my computer (forgot what it was called) but media explorer seemed to work ok. I was recommended to install the firmare so that I could transfer files using MP0. I did this (one of the earlier versions). I drag and drop my music folders into MP0 and sincronize but when they are transfered I get new folder created with new names onto my Zen (album names, song names etc.) everything disordered and many folders with only one song in them. I can't seem to figure out how to organize my music. Is there a way of reformatting the player, get rid of the firmware and make it work properly with media explorer again (since media explorer doesn?t recognise the player after the firmware instalation) Please help, the sound quality of this player is great but music transfers and organizing is giving me a big headache.

Ear-Rock,
You can download the version of Zen Micro Media Explorer that support the MTP firmware you have now on the player. The version is 4.00.8 and is available on the website. You can also change the firmware to the PDE one by downloading and installing the PDE firmware version .02.05.

Can not charge by using the cord with the different side

Since i upgrade my iPhone 5 to iOS7
it can not charge with the original cable
you could charge only with one side
i have try the different cable
and it's the same problem
There are many friend of mine facing the same problem
So i am pretty sure that's not the iPhone 5 's problem , it's about the software

This is the first post that I've seen on these forums about a cable working only one way.
Check the connector carefully for dirt.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Can I charge nano with FireWire

Just bought a nano (1GB)and already own a 4G iPod (20GB). From everything I read, it appears that I'm safe to charge my nano using the FireWire cord and power adapter that came with the 4G iPod. But I don't want to do so if it's going to zap my nano.
Could someone please verify that I'm safe to charge this way? Thanks.

You won't be able to sync via the firewire cable, but charging it is perfectly safe.
CHeers!

Please some one can help me to fix the special char issue

Hello,
Please some one can help me to resolve the issue.
I was try to load data from PSA to DSO,where it was got failed.
error message is saying that "Value 'Blythewood' (hex. '0042006C00790074006800650077006F006F0064') of characteristic ZSHPTOCIT contains invalid characters".
Please advise me to resolve the issue.

Hi Aryan,
Change your info-object ZSHPTOCIT to accept Lower Case Letters(it is in General tab of the Info-object definition screen. Check the Lower Case Letters Box) and then load the data. I dont know why you are using the info-object but you may want to check what "Blythewood" means to business users. If it makes sense to them then its fine or esle ask the R/3 team to correct the data.
Regards,
Nikhil

Can I charge Nano on any PC over USB, without iTunes sync?

Can I just plug the ipod into any PC with the usb cord, to get a charge? My work PC will not allow me to install itunes.
thanks

Yes, you can. Any computer with a USB port can be used to charge an iPod, with or without iTunes. Just be careful to use the Safely remove Hardware icon or one of the non iTunes methods to eject the iPod that you'll find in this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

HT201412 Hi I just got the I phone 5S and I can only charge it with the cable that came with it in the box , I have tried using other also original cables that came with my I pad mini or I phone 5 with no luck .

Does The I phone 5s have a different charging cable ??

Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do.

HT5654 I am trying to update my IPAD 1 from IOS 4.3.2 to 5.1.1, but i get a message that "The IPAD can not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible". Can anyone help me with what to do?

I have mac os x 10.5.8 and the latest I Tunes 10.6.3

The first generation iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1.

Nano in the car - battery issue

Hi All,
Just a month into owning a Nano and loving it. The same time that I bought the iPod I bought an adaptor for my car: "RoadTrip", which runs as a recharger through the cig lighter and also syncs through FM radio so you can hear the music through the car stereo system.
Now, if I do this every day for my fairly short (10-30 minute) trips to work, I'm keeping the battery charged pretty much most of the time. I'm worried I'm going to kill the battery much too soon. I have already planned to do a complete drain once a month based on tips from Apple's website. I just read about the Mitsubishi iCar that has a built-in slot to slide your Nano in and the stereo system does the rest, so maybe I'm worrying too much?
Should I be worried?
Phil

Hi Phil,
Apple says that you do not need a full charge each time you plug in, though it does recommend a full discharge at least once a month:

It is running the following firmware from 26/03/14
How can will it be before the firmware updates automatically .. if ever ..... or can i download tne latest version from somewhere and install it ?
BT Home Hub 5 (Type A) | Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.173.1.6 | Last updated 26/03/1

there have been a few other posts previously where the hub appeared to take ages before it updated. you could try a factory reset and then leave conencted and see if that triggers the automatic update
