Dead ipod when using 2nd laptop to charge

1. Using the USB port on my laptop (Dell Latitude 420) to charge my 5G 80GM ipod has worked fine for the past 30 days since new.
2. Switched to my wife's Dell Inspiron 5150 to charge it and now it's dead. I started out with the flashing white screen every 5-7 seconds and then absolutely nothing.
3. I reconnected to my laptop and its still dead. iTunes does not recognize that the ipod is connected.
I have considered:
A. 5Rs, but don't think this is an option given that the ipod must be charged first and all indications are that it is not charging.
B. The toggle of the Hold button followed by the menu/select button exercise.
C. Ran the diagnostics in iTunes - redlight/failure in the iTunes box.
Any help appreciated.

Have you left it pluged in for an hour, I'd hate to say it but you may need to send it off to get it fixed.

  • Ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

    ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Tecra A9 - external Monitor shows stripes when using the Laptop pluged.

    Hello
    I've heard about at least 3 Tecras A9 witch produces stripes on the external Monitor only when the Laptop is pluged. When using the Laptop with the battery, the Monitor works just fine. they tried to divide the cables of the Monitor and the power supply as far as possible, but still the same problem. When using the Laptop with a non-toshiba-AC Adaptor, the external Monitor is working fine.

    Hello
    In my opinion you should visit nearest authorized Toshiba service provider. They can connect your Tecra to external monitors and test it. If the result is the same I am pretty sure you will get AC adapter replacement for free.
    Do not wait and discuss for days here. Contact them and I hope they will help you.

  • My iphone4's battery went dead and when I put it on charge it asked for itunes.  I dont have my macbook at the moment and I am worried I may loose content.  Any suggestions how I can get into my phone?

    My iphone4's battery went dead and when I put it on charge it asked for itunes.  I dont have my macbook at the moment and I am worried I may loose content.  Any suggestions how I can get into my phone?

    Copy the iTunes folder from the disk to the Mac, and the iPhone backup to the right place on the Mac (Google for "iphone backup location"). Then when you restore you can reload the last backup.

  • Content disappear  when use another  mac to charge iPod

    I am a new user of iPod, I loaded my ipod shuffle from a desktop Mac, then try to charge the iPod battery using a MacBook, then the content of all loaded songs disappear from iPod, I suspect it try to automatically sync with the songs in MacBook, but there is none in the MacBook.
    If so, how can I stop this from happen, if not, does it mean that I can not connect my iPod to another computer to charge t?

    As recommended, in Settings in iTunes, I UNchecked "Open Itunes when this iPod is connected" in both computers and click "Apply". but then when I connected it to MBP, the indicator amber light is blinking constantly, and I have to open the iTune, and then the light turns green, but the content was wiped out, the option for :"Open itunes when this iPod is connected" is indeed unchecked. so I am back to square one.
    so I have to use decktop mac to load the music again. by the way, the reason I need to use MBP to charge the battry, is that the iPod when connected to desktop Mac has constant blinking amber light unless I plug it to MBP first, but then the content disappear.

  • Does it harm the battery if we use the laptop while charging?

    If we use while charging, is the power required directly taken from the external supply or from the battery itself. Which is the safest way to use the laptop without drawing power from the battery?

    No harm is done. There is enough power from the adapter to run the laptop and charge the battery. There is hardware and software in place which prevents any problems. The laptop will not take power from the battery while the AC adapter is plugged in. 

  • Dead links when using Safari.

    I first noticed dead links when trying to read "the Week in iOS Apps," on Macworld. I could go to the second view, but never past the second view. I solved the problem by switching to Firefox. the same thing happened on the Verizon wireless site when I tried to pay my bill.
    Should i make Firefox my primary browser? I have a habit of using Safari. Dead links shouldn't be a problem.

    You can try this. May help.
    Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes beside  all items.
    Just check the box beside “Remove all website data”.
    Click "Reset".

    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".

  • My iphone will show 1% and then 0 and go off.  I can't turn it off again because it shows the battery is dead.  When I plug in the charger for 5 or 10 seconds,  it might show 40% battery.  When I unplug it,  I have 40%!!  Why does it go dead for no reason

    My iphone 5 battery life at the most inconvenient times drains down till the phone turns off.  When I plug in the charger for just 5 or 10 seconds,  it will often show 35 - 45% left!  I unplug the charger immediately and I have 45% battery life!  That means I always have to have a charger with me in case it quits!  I can't always do that.

    The % counter isn't always accurate.
    I'd reset the phone, which might help make it more accurate. (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears).
    You might also try restoring the phone from a backup.

  • MacBook Pro (r) noise problem when using headphones with 90%+ charge?

    I've tried using other headphones on the MacBook and they work just fine; but I've also used the Denons on other devices and they too work perfectly fine. The problem is that the headphones output has too much bass, if that makes sense. It's the same as when you play a very very loud noise on a tiny speaker. I've tried playing on the settings but nothing works! I bought the laptop 2 weeks ago and the problem persisted even then but I didn't think of it as a big problem until now. I'm 100% sure the problem only exists when the charge is 90% or higher because I saw the charge drop to 89% and *poof*! it goes back to normal! This is really very annoying!

    You are still under warranty.  Call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty. 
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

  • What files can go on IPod when used as External Disk?

    I have done appropriate research, and I know how to use IPod 60GB Video to store and download data files, but I am unable to find out what file types it will accept. Are there any exceptions?
    I ask this because I just learned that "Notes" will only accept .txt files and not Microsoft Word document file types.
    For example, can I drag PDF files into it? Would I even be able to see them on display?
    Thanks!!!!

    The reason notes only accept txt files is because they can be read on the ipod, and you can save a .txt file out of microsoft word by the way. When you use the ipod as external Disk, that's exactly what that is, an external disk, and you cannot see those files on the ipod. All you can do with external disk is store files (any kind) and move them to another computer.

  • Error when using 2nd external drive

    +You do not have appropriate access privileges to save file “.0016cba062f1” in folder “Backup”.+

    Anyone have any ideas on what to do with this? Thanks.
