HELP. I pod nano will not charge and computer does not recognize it.

My Ipod nano suddenly would not take a charge either from a wall charger or directly from my computer and when plugged in to the USB port, computer says device not recognized. I've updated my Itunes version. I've reset the IPod settings with no success. I"ve spent hours online with the "SELF HELP" with no help. Just bought this stupid thing in December, awful lot of money for it to be totally useless now. Can anybody help???

  • Black screen my i pod nano will not turn on?  should be charged

    my i pod nano 7th generation has a black screen and will not turn on  HELP?????

    Hello gatormother,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting

    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting it while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least six seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Help, My thinkpad Edge will not recognize my battery

    I updated the BIOS on my thinkpad E430. After that the operating system gives me a notice that the battery in my laptop is not a Lenovo product and that it will not charge the battery. The only way I could charge the battery is if I take it out after turning off my computer . I turn it back on and I don't get the notice. I don't want to be taking out my battery everytime I turn on the computer. And I don't want to keep my computer in sleep mode just to avoid the notice.
    Do you get it? Somehow the battery is communicating with the computer. I bought the battery with the laptop so it is a Lenovo product. I called Lenovo Partners to fix my computer and it's expensive because my warranty expired. One guy suggested that I reverse the update of the BIOS , but I can't find any previous versions of the Lenovo thinkpad E430 Bios on the Lenovo website. My BIOS is 2.54 . Do you know what the previous versions are? Do you know where I can find them on the Lenovo website? How would you fix this problem?

  • Iphone 4G troubles. Won't charge and computer won't recognize it.?

    I plugged my Iphone4 into the USB and it will not connect to my charger or computer. Therefore it won't charge. I turned my phone off and it is showing that it needs to be charged but is not recognized by my computer and won't charge via wall charger. Yes, I have tried different cables and still no luck. If anyone has any great ideas to fix it, I would love to hear it so my phone can be fixed. Thanks.

    I got this phone as a gift and I think the warranty is up. Since I didn't cause this problem would I be able to get a new phone or would I have to buy it? I need one because this is my only phone and need it back up ASAP for work and school. Thanks for your help.

After a while i realized that my ipod was almost dead on power so when i was about to charge it, it turned off. i turned on and charged it and then i left it charging. when i came back my ipod was off and now it won't turn on even if i reset it or charge it from my pc. help!

    Try a different power outlet, then try restarting your iPod by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

    I pod touch will not turn on and will now not charge - just died - did not drop or spill water on it - HELP.  When I plug it into I-Tunes it says the IPOD is in recovery mode

    Have you tried to restore the iPod via iTunes on the computer? See the restoring topic on:

    If not successful, what happens when you try to restore the iPod?  Any error messages?

  • My Nano will not charge.  It appears to be charging when plugged in, however when disconnected, there is no charge and I get a battery low warning.  Do I need a new battery?

    My Nano will not hold a charge.  It appears to be charging when plugged in, however when disconnected there is no charge and I get a battery low warning.  All other functions work properly when it is plugged in.  Do I need a new battery?

    Depends on how long you have had your iPod. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod. Or take your iPod Nano to your local Apple Store or an AASP. 

  • Help plz, I pad2 will not power on have it charging all day and nite and nothing

    please help me my ipad2 will not power up its been plugged up for 2 days now and nothing what shud i do?

    Have you tried a soft-reset  to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • TS1410 My iTunes will not recognize my iPod Nano 6th gen.   It has worked in the past and it works with my iPod 4th gen.  I've gone through the troubleshooting steps as suggested, but still -- nothing.  Now, what??

    iTunes will not recognize my Nano 6th gen. as a device.  It has been recognized  in the past and iTunes does recognize my Nano 4th gen.  The device connects to the Mac and charges allright.  All of the functions on the Nano work but want to modify my music, I'm tired of the same songs etc.

    I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

  • TRIED EVERYTHING!!! computer will not recognize IPOD and no charging

    Tried changing cords; tried reinstalling all software; tried to determine if conflicting software; ran ipod out of power and my computer still will not recognize when I plug it in. Backlight initially lights up but ipod does not show up in device manager, itunes does not recognize it and ipod will not charge---ipod will charge on Bose speaker platform though....ANY SUGGESTIONS??????

    If none of the above help, then it may be an issue that requires service so why not take advantage of the warranty?
    You can arrange online service here.
    Service request.
    Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

  • HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

    I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.
