...and you'll be sent a box to ship your iPod to Apple in. You have to pay shipping to send the iPod to Apple, but they pay shipping to send a new one back to you (and yes, if there is something wrong, they will just send you a new one, so back everything up).

Please help Ipod charged but just does not come on

I have a new Ipod Nano which is a gift . I have charged it on my laptop which has windows however it displays only when plugged into my lap top, once disconnected post charging it does not come on , please help.

So he is going to upgrade his Acer computer running Windows 7 to Snow Leopard that will fix his problem. How will he install it?
Other than on their website, in the online store, and on the back of the box itself, Apple did not let you know the minimum specifications? Were they supposed to send you a Christmas card with the information? Please don't tell me that when you buy software you don't read the minimum specifications first.
That said, unless you want to upgrade iLife and the same time and purchase iWorks, you can buy the Snow Leopard retail disk for $29 and it will install just fine, assuming that your computer meets the minimum specifications. You might want to post back here with information on your computer just to make sure.
If you are like me and don't use all the applications in iLife and iWorks I word forgo the box set (which is a good price) and buy the apps you want from the Mac App Store. That way if you have no used for Garageband you can buy iPhoto and Pages from iWorks and move on. Need a spreadsheet? You can buy Numbers.

Help! charging prob

Hi to all,
I just bought an 8gb Zen and have installed the software. I connected the mp3 player through usb to my computer and it was charging for hour or so (I also noticed the green sign indicating battery was full). Then the synchronizing message appeared on my computer and the mp3 turned off. Now I unplugged it and plugged it again but it doesn't go back to charge nor does it appear on the computer.
Any ideas Should I risk turning the mp3 on
I've had a bad experience with partial charging with my previous mp3 (it would only last 3 hours instead of 0) so I wouldn't want to risk it with this one.
Thanks

Is there a plug symbol (not flashing) within the battery symbol - this indicates that the battery is fully charged?
Since this is a solid state flash MP3 device by turning it on it won't hurt it but not having the proper charge it just won't work.

I searched the iPod Touch forum for "iphone in recovery mode" and it appears there are two possible solutions:
- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore it>

IPod charges, iTunes won't recognize iPod - Help!

my iPod charges when connected to my PC but iTunes will not recognize it (it will not come up in iTunes). as a result, i can't add songs to it, etc. i know my USB port works (both do actually). any advice? thanks in advance.

Hey Rina91!
Have you tried putting your iPod in Disk Mode, then connecting it to your computer again? For more info, read here -> Putting your iPod into Disk Mode
This may be a case of drive letter confusino in Windows. Follow these steps below to try assigning your iPod a different drive letter
Log off of any other users on your computer.
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
Have you seen all the suggestions in this article, as well? -> iPod appears in Windows, but not in iTunes
See if you have any sucees with those suggetions.

Can I charge iPhone with old iPod charger

I left my iPhone charger at work. Can I use the charger from the 2nd gen iPod?

Sure. I have an original 10G iPod and, after calling Apple Store help, was advised I could use the iPod charger. I've been doing so for at least a month. No problems. Good luck.

My ipod charges but won't tell me when it is!

My ipod charges fine, but it all of a sudden just stopped telling me when it was charging, i plug it in and the screen turns itself off instead of changing to the screen that has the picture of the battery and how full it is, it also does not show up on the corner battery picture that doesnt change either. what do i do? how do i fix it?

Did you already try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new apps of software.
If this does not help, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:

Weird iPod charging problem

Well I have this rather odd problem that I cannot seem to find or fix myself. I bought a few iPod charger cables from eBay the other day (5 of them) as I didn't have that many spare around the house. When I first used the cables, they worked find untill today. They just do not want to charge my iPod no matter what I do. Now to make sure it's not a problem with my iPod's charging ability, I used one of the cables that came out of the box...and it worked. I've tried different USB ports, power points and about 4 different wall chargers and still, the cables didn't work.
Now the cables are sold as actual iPod cables, and they llook idential and no one else has had any problems. So I thought what about them using on other iPods in the house. I tried them on my sisters 3G, sisters 4G, nano 1G, nano 2G and nano 4G....and the cables worked. Every iDevice in the house worked with the cables but my iPod. The versions of the ipods are the same (4.3.3) and are all synced with the same computer.
But why isn't it working on mine. My iPod can charge with every cable BUT the ones that I recently bought. And every other iPod charges with the cables so it's not a problem with the cables.
I'm using a iPod Touch 3G
iOS version : 4.3.3
All help will be taken into account, and thanks in advance,

I didn't buy the cables from the Apple Store, I bought them from eBay. And it's not the cables problem as it charges every other device in the house.

Possible to charge pb with usb or firewire cable through ipod charger?

hello,
i forgot to pack my pb charger for my trip. i do have my ipod charger. would it be possible to charge with that by using the firewire to firewire cable or firewire to usb cable? i haven't tried yet for fear of ruining something.
cheers.
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.1)

USB and Firewire - from the Powerbook is one way traffic - ie the PowerBook pumps power out. It doesn't need to take power from a peripheral such as an ipod so it's not set up to do so.
As for "borrrowing" a supply from Apple, you don't know unless you ask. If you're away from home for a month might it be worth getting someone from home to send it to you?
There are local Apple user groups in major cities, so you could page apple users in those cities to see if you can borrrow a power supply.
Or you might have to bite the bulllet and just buy another - either from Apple, ebay or even Criagslist. You might find a slightly cheaper 3rd part adapter somewhere.
Sorry can't help any more. Good luck.

What is wrong with my iPod charging port?

My ipod charger refuses to work. It isn't my cable either. I know it is the port, i had to clean out the pocket lint with a metal stickpin. still nothing, can anyone help?

Hey Razvin, First NEVER use a metal object to clear a charging port! OK, that said, can you see in the port, does anything appear out of place, bent or missing? Or is there any corrosion visible? If not, that's good. How do you know the cable is not defective-- has a short. You can not always tell by looking at it, and the lighting cables have a history of failure. To rule out a defective cable have you tried a cable you know works or a new cable. The next thing to try is another charger, unless you know the one your using is working with other devices. Next try a reset, Press and hold the power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds =/-, then release both buttons. If that does not work, try going into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, connect to your computer, make a backup of all your stuff on the iPod to your computer, then Restore from Backup, if still no joy Restore to New. If none of the above worked, then you most likely have a hardware issue, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated, be sure to bring your iPod, cable and charger. Good luck, Cheers.

I want to use my new netbook for my ipod charger and storage

How do I use my new netbook for my ipod charger and storage?

I gave full info for how to do this setup in this thread with screen shots..
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
Any of it you don't follow just ask.
The TC is really a complex thing to use, when you don't do it as Apple designed it.. and in fact on your iMac an external drive will be cheaper, faster and more reliable than a TC. But I guess you already have it so may as well use it.
