cannot charge my daughter's ipod touch nor does the computer acknowledge that it is plugged into the USB cable.

Not Charge

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 Genus Bar of an Apple store.

- 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.

  • Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

    Daughter's iPod touch went through the washer. Do i need to take the back off somehow before I try putting it in rice?

    No. Just put it in rice as is.
    You may have success in getting it to boot after using the rice technique, but it will sincerely doubtfully never fully function again.

  • Daughter's IPod Touch went through the washer!  Any hope?  What to do?

    Her new IPod Touch went through the washer. Can anything be done to salvage it?

    Do not turn it on. Put it in rice for 1 - 2 weeks. Take it out, and attempt to turn it on. If it says to plug it in, you can jump up and down. Plug it in, and charge it. If it works, yay!
    Did you know, if the metal inside was a metal that didn't rust, and no electricity was going through the circut boards, you could wash your iPod as many times as you wanted. Just when you want to use it again, make sure it's dry.

  • Cannot update FB app on ipod touch, started getting the message you can not update this software since you have not owned the major version"

    I've been having no problem updating apps on my ipod touch, but two days ago I started getting the above message, only for the FB update. I have deleted, reinstalled, reset -nothing helps. Apple support could not figure it out either, they said it's a 3rd party app (they did try to help me but nothing worked). The notification that there is an update won't go away as long as FB is on my ipod. Help!

  • TS4062 My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.

    My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.  I have gone through all steps of the troubleshooting guide.  All of our other ios devices are wi-fi sync-ing fine.   Can anyone help?
    Not sure how long this has been a problem.  Kids are young and I manually manage most things but recently having music synced is an issue.  All software has been kept up to date.

  • My daughter charged her ipod touch on my sisters computer. She managed to login to her iTunes account - now it seems my sisters computer is authorised to access playlists and Apps. How do I stop this?

    My daughter charged her ipod touch on my sisters computer. My daughter also accessed iTunes - my fault she knew the password for the account. Now the account information says that 2  computers are authorised to access this account. How can I deauthorise or remove my sisters computer that is now linked?
    Any ideas? When i access Store the only option is to deauthorise the computer I am on now. There is no option to remove the 2nd computer that is my sisters.

    Very simple....go to itunes store,  on the top right click on your account.  It will ask for your password, then show you a screen where it will have your address on top.  Look 1/2 the way down on the right...it says deauthorize all...click that and then just go back in to your computer and reauthorize your own computer...

  • I changed my Apple ID Username, but now my daughter's iPod Touch cannot connect and won't take the new sign-in protocols???

    I changed my Apple ID Username on my iMac, but now my daughter's iPod Touch cannot sign-in to iTunes, Apps, etc.. The old username sign-in doesn't work either. Apple Store Rep advised using iCloud to back-up her iPod, but have no experience with iCloud - have nevr used it on my iMac. Any info would be helpful.

    I would suggest visiting this URL http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

    My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled because she forgot her password. It also will not connect to itunes because it's been disabled. How can I just erase or reset the ipod so she can use it? We don't mind if the info. on the ipod is lost.

    Hi Guys,
    I havent touched my Iphone 4s in ages (about a month). I came back to it the other day. I forgot the password, so naturally it disabled it and is telling me to connect to iTunes. In the meantime, i had got a new computer and didnt back up the itunes files (because im an idiot). So now when i connect it to iTunes it tells me to verify it on the phone, but i cant get in there because it is disabled. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!! I HAVE NO IDEA ON HOW TO FIX IT!! I've tried to restore it, I've tried to jailbreak it. NOTHING works!! PLEASE HELP!!!

  • The screen on my daughter's iPod Touch is cracked and will not power on. I cannot unlock it, I do not believe it was synched with any computer. I would like to transfer her stuff from the old to the new.

    Any help is appreciated on how to unlock an iPod touch that has no screen. All I want to do is transer her apps/pics/music to her new iPod touch.

    - What happens when you connect the iPod to its syncing computer and try to transfer purchases and other things? Error messages?
    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be 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
    - I know of nothing else to do without erasing the iPod.

  • I daughter's iPod touch is password locked and authorized to computer that doesn't exist anymore. i want to set it up on my iTunes but it won't recognize it because of the failed password attempts. what can i do?

    My daughter's ipod touch is password locked and attached to a computer that doesnt exist anymore. i want to authorize it to my computer itunes account but itunes wont even read it due to the password failure. what can i do?

    That's by design. The password is designed to protect the user's information and cannot be circumvented. You can restore it to "new" condition though, and sync it to your computer. The iPod Touch's content will be securely erased by doing this.
    Refer to iOS: Unable to update or restore. Follow the instructions exactly as written.
