  • So, my ipod touch 4th generation has stopped working. every time i plug it into a wall or an outlet, it will regester that it has been plugged in, but it will not charge, and trurn on. does anyone have any suggestions? thank you.

    my ipod touch has stopped working. I will plug it into a wall, or computer, and it will register that it is plugged in, but it will not charge and turn on. does anyone have any advice? thank you.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPOD NANO will not connect to windows xp "usb device not recognized

    i have had some problems connecting my ipod nano to windows xp sp2. each time i try to connect it using the usb cable, i get the following error
    http://img400.imageshack.us/img400/6426/t12ve.jpg
    i have reinstalled the ipod (updater 03-23-2006) firmware and the itunes software (just in case). ive gone to the apple website, forum and discussed the problem with their technicians but no luck getting it solved.
    i went to the apple website and filled in a service request to have a new usb cable sent to me, thinking that this could be the problem. no luck with the new cable and other usb devices including my phone and camera all work.
    i just want to know how i can get this thing to work and play my music again. any assistance will be greatly appreciated. if im missing information, please let me know. thanks.

    Hello, lanboyo, JC, and Utah Mike!
    First--You may have done this, but have you tried the Five R's? Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore.
    If you have sucessfully done them with hardly any help, then let's keep going:
    Second--You may have read this Apple aritcle before, but I'll link you to it anyway.

    If it's showing up in My Computer as "F:IPOD" but not in the iTunes source list, check out this Apple article, and see if it helps.

  • Ipod not syncing and itunes says to reinstall newest version of itunes, when it already is?

    My itunes works fine, but when I went to sync my ipod touch (2nd and 4th gen) a window pops up  that says "this ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64-bit itunes." BUT THIS IS THE VERSION OF ITUNES I ALREADY HAVE!!! i have the 64-bit already installed so why would i need to install it again? ive also read that for other people that did not help. any tips? please

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Charger plugged in but battery is not charging but windows says it is charging.

    I have an HDX X18T-1100 CTO Premium Notebook 64bit with Vista Ultimate...I thought my battery was bad because when charger is plugged in the icon in system tray says" plugged in, charging" but it's not charging so I bought a new battery.  Same problem so I replaced the AC/DC plug in the computer....still the same problem... says batter at 7% (plugged in, charging) but it's not charging.  

    Hi,
    This could well be a Hardware problem with the charging circuitry, but it may be worth trying the following.
    First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute.
    Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the PC down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.  Windows will reinstall the missing driver soon after logon.  Leave it to idle for a few minutes, then restart again to see if this has helped the issue at all.
    Regards,
    DP-K

  • HT1384 I plug my ipod into charge and it says its charging but actually isnt saving the power when i unplug it, please help what do I do?

    When I plug it in and the green bar comes up it doesnt go up as it is being charged, so it says its charging but doesnt save the charge.
    Help what do I do?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    You can try an SMC reset:
    Resolve power and other issues by resetting the SMCIn some situations, you may need to reset your computer's SMC.  Learn how to identify these conditions and reset the SMC.
    If that does not fix it, you have software on your Mac that will reveal your battery's condition. Click and hold on your Apple menu (left end of menubar) and the press your OPTION key. The top items will change from "About this Mac..." to "System Information..."
    When SI opens, look in the left-hand panel under hardware and find "Power" Click it. You will see this:
    Copy/paste what I've shown (ingore anything lower on the screen) into a reply to your own post here. Please omit the serial number.
    From that  we can get an idea if this is a software glitch or a real battery problem.

  • My ipod is showing a black screen, but will charge and make the notification noises. Any ideas on how to fix it

    My Ipod touch is just showing a black screen, it still charges and the notifictions still go off because I can hear them. It wont turn onto the lock screen it just stays black. I tryed letting the battery run down and left it for like 24 hours but nothing changed

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Computer says usb device malfunction

    I have a new 16 gb ipod touch bought today ,tried to connect to computer via usb .but computer says device has malfunctioned and computer not recognize it i have tried to restore the ipod and also reinstalled itunes .also checked and restarted AMDS ,HELP what is going on Please

    Try this. With your iPod plugged into the usb go to device manager and see if you see a yellow question mark next to and unknown usb device. If you do right click and choose to uninstall the device. Then unplug your iPod and reboot your computer and plug back in your iPod. This is assuming you have Windows. Hope this helps.
