Charge vanishes when i plug ipod up to my laptop.

i got the ipod touch a few months after it first came out. I have never had any problems with it until i got my new hp laptop w/ vista. i have tried everything i can think of, but when i plug my ipod in to sync new music, the date resets itself to about midnight and the charge on my ipod disappears. i am ****** about this. i a normally charge my ipod overnight and sync it in the morning. But now whenever i hook up my ipod i can't use it that day. Anybody have any ideas on how to keep my laptop from sucking the battery charge out of ipod?

Hey sorry for the late reply. Yeah I only own one apple device and I am still using the cable my IPod came with. I am using the same cable since I only have one.

My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

For Christmas, my older sister got me a portable charger for my iPod. I'm not sure if it was capable with apple products, but it charged my iPod when I used it. My brother came upstairs and took my portable charger from me, so I went to go use my wall charger. The wall charger I have has always worked and it charges my mom's iPhone, so the problem I have isn't my charger. After I plugged my iPod in my charger, a message popped up saying "This accessory may not be supported". I was confused because this never has happened before, so I tried my portable charger after I got the message. The portable charger didn't charge my iPod anymore apparently after I tried my charger. All this happened the day after Christmas, so it's almost been a month without my iPod charging properly. My iPod does charge, but only when I plug it in halfway and am about to turn it all the way off. The only way I get it to charge is when I plug it in real fast as soon as I turn my iPod completely off. I've also restarted my iPod, cleaned out the charging area, asked people at stores that work with technology, and etc, so if someone could help me resolve this problem that would be legit because I use my iPod on a daily basis.

That message is usually due to a bad cable.

When I plug iPod Touch in . It nor the computer does anything

When I plug my iPod touch into my computer, nothing happens. I did a restore of my ipod on a different computer, but still nothing has happened when I plug it in to my laptop. I need help fixing this. I cant add music or anything to my ipod. The cord is fine, I can plug it into my playstation 3 and it will charge. So the cable is fine its the computer.

I talked on the phone with Apple. He told me to . Uninstall everything that has to do with itunes.
1) Apple Application Support
2) Apple Mobile Device Support
3) Apple Software Update
4) Bonjour
5) Itunes
6) QuickTime
Then Restart.
Download itunes. Install
Restart. Then plug in ipod

Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs.

That really does not work since music is not included in the backup. See:

My iphone 5 can't be charged. When I plugged my cable in, it just does show any charging sign. I have confirmed that it is not a cable problem

Remove any lint/debris from the lightning port.
Use an official Apple cable.
Connect it to a wall outlets, some USB ports do not output sufficient power.
If none of the above resolves, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

I need to sinc my iphone 4 that I bought in the summer of 2011. I've never done it before and when I plug it in to the laptop it tries to sinc to my dad's old long gone iphone?
This laptop was used by him when he had a iphone a year or so ago but he has since changed to an android phone.
This is the only laptop we have and he has no use for the itunes or anything iphone related now so how do I get Itunes to forget his phone and let me connect mine so that everything on my iphone can backed up and so I may proceed with all the updates out there to bring it current....while still losing none of my stuff.
it was only plugged in for a second and now my ipone setting about page says "Danny's phone" which is what his used to be called but all my stuff is still here...???

Right Windows can Not read Mac formatted drives.
If you want to use that drive on both systems you will need to use some other format then Mac Extended (Journaled). Something like Fat32 or exFAT. Or since it is already partitioned just use the Windows partition on Windows.
Of couse you can try using one of those add-on programs that allows Windows to read Mac drives.

Why is my 4th generation ipod touch not charge? I plug it into the computer and the wall and with 2 different usb cables and its not charging. When its plugged in it shows the icon for charging but the battery never increases and it dies once i disconnect

I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
I have not idea what has happened ....
Please help
THanks!

- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

Charge vanishes when i plug ipod up to my laptop.
