  • How come the iPod Touch doesn't charge when connected to an USB extension?

    I have it plug it directly into the iMac, I can't plug it into an extension cable connected to the iMac. My older iPod Touch charged just fine using the USB extender, but my new one refuses to charge unless it's directly connected to the iMac. Why would Apple change how the iPod charges? Those extension cables are useful when you need to switch out USB devices, since the ports are all in the back of the unit.

    I noticed the same thing happened with my iPod touch. It wouldn't charge on my iMac but when I connected it to my Macbook it started up right away. The difference being, I think, is not the computers but the usb hubs. The one on my Macbook has its own power supply where as the one on my iMac doesn't. Try that. Maybe the usb hub just needs to have its own power supply in order for the iPod touch to charge. So if that's the case then the usb extension cable probably won't work at all.

  • How come my Ipod Touch will only charge when plugged into a computer and not a docking station or wall socket?

    My IPhone works with both the charging USB cable as well as the wall socket and docking station.  Additionally, my IPod used to charge using both the wall socket plug in and the docking station.  My IPod will stay play music when plugged into the docking station, but won't charge.  Further, when I plug my IPod into my computer all it will do is charge and is not recognized by ITunes.  I have done both a soft and hard reset.

    If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then

  • How come my iPod Touch won't charge?

    After the newest iPod update which was earlier this week, my iPod hasn't been able to keep a charge. It will only charge up to 20% before it stops charging and the "battery running low" thing pops up every second. I've tried looking for the answer or a way to fix it, but I can't find a way to get my iPod to charge anymore. Someone please help. Is it my charger? Or is it the new update?

    Not Charge

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
    - Try another charging source

  • HT201210 how come my ipod touch doesnt have auto update?

    how come my ipod touch doesnt give mr auto updates for the ios?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer

  • Whats wrong with my ipod touch it wont charge or turn on

    my ipod wont turn on i put it on charge it wont charge or anything.  HELP

    Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire power adapter or FireWire-based car charger.
    Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
    If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
    Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
    Try another USB port.
    Try charging from a USB charger if available.
    If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.
    Learn more about charging the battery.

  • How come my iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes?

    My iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes. I've never had any problem like this until we got that new charger and USB cord that comes with the 5th Generation. We just barely managed to get it to charge with my HP laptop. Before the device was considered "unknown" and was rejected by my computer, but then I found an article that said to uninstall the USB driver or whatever, and we did so, so now it's able to charge. We got all happy, thinking that it was going to apear in iTunes now, but it's still not there. It's said to be "Apple iPod" whenever it pops up after being connected to the computer, but it doesn't open in iTunes. I tried going under "File" and then "Device", and then trying to sync, but it appears gray and won't let me click on it. I don't know how to get it to open there. Can anyone help me? Please?

    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

  • Ipod touch 5 wont charge since 7.1.2 update

    i have a ipod touch 5 but since i updated it it wont charge, i have bought a new cable and it charges my sisters ipod 5 what has not been updated, it says charger is accepted when its off but when it turns back on it doesn't work, i have reset my ipod too what can i do since its not recognized by my itunes? and btw i have left it plugged in over night turned off to see if it would work and it never i have been patient with apple with their crappy chargers but this is too far and i do not see any other questions like this, please someone help

    I had the same exact problem, iOS 7.1.2 blocks 3rd party chargers, and i was using one
    Assuming you also are using a 3rd party charger, here is a way to charge your ipod touch that i discovered after some experimentation.
    Step 1.) Plug lightning cable into the ipod touch and a 5 watt wall plug(or computer).
    Step 2.) Power off the ipod(This shuts down ios and prevents it from detecting the 3rd party charger).
    Step 3.) Wait an hour or two.
    Step 4.) Unplug the iPod touch
    Step 5.) Power on the device.
    This should work, it worked for me, just note you will not be able to sync your ipod touch with itunes, and i recommend purchasing a "certified" apple lightning cable.
