HT201263 My iPod will not charge and I can't restore it. HELP

I just recently bought my iPod Touch 5th Generation and I've been charging it through my MacBook.  However, it's recently stopped charging and a pop-up often comes up saying it was "draining too much power" from my laptop so the ports were turned off.  I've also tried to charge it through my desktop computer and the computer doesn't even recognize it.  My iPod doesn't show up in my iTunes when it's plugged in and the battery is completly drained.  I don't have any idea how it fix this, any advice would be much appreciated.

Not Charge
- 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.

  • My IPOD will not charge and when I plug it into computer, the cord gets extremely hot but no charge, what is wrong with this thing?

    My IPOD will not charge, I have tried the docking station nothing, I tried plugging into the computer and nothing but the cord got extremely hot.  I need my IPOD, any suggestions.

    Sounds like a hardware problem.  Take it to the nearest Apple Store.

  • My Ipod will not charge and I cannot turn it on

    My ipod will not charge was working fine yesterday. I have connected it to itunes it up dates the softwre but once it has finished the unit turns itsekf off and will not charge.

    Plug it into the charger that came with the device and plug that into a known good wall outlet. If the battery is completely drained it may take an hour or more before the device shows some signs of life.

  • My ipod touch will not reset and I can't restore in iTunes since it won't allow me to access wth a passcode on the ipod.

    My iPod touch will not reset.  I have tried to the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously, but after the apple appears it goes back to a screen that shows the spiralling wheel that moves around 5 times, stops for a second and then repeats this cycle over and over.  I tried to restore through iTunes, but I get an error message that says that I need to enter the passcode on the iPod which is impossible since it won't stop the wheel.  Any ideas?

    Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • TS1372 my classic ipod will not sync with win7PC even after restore. Help

    Today when connecting my ipod to my win7 pc it showed totally empty and failed to sync.  I have restored the ipod but that didn't help.  I cannot transfer my music to an external hard drive.  Do you think it is a problem with my PC and is my entire library in jeopardy?

    another way to add contacts (this is wat i use) is to
    enable ur ipod for disk usage. Then u go to "my
    computer" on ur computer, select ur ipod, and drag
    vcard files into the contacts folder
    to make vcard files, u can either double click on the
    instructions in the contacts folder and then change
    the info and save in ur ipod contacts folder as a
    vcard, or else open microsoft outlook, type in info,
    and save in ur ipod contacts folder as vcard.
    (note:hitting save without selecting vcard and ur
    ipod will save it to ur ocmputer)
    Sorry but I'm not using Microsoft Outlook but Address Book in Mac OS-X!

  • My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

    My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
    Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

  • My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

    My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

    Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

  • HT5654 Hi my wife has a 2008 iPod Touch which has not been used for at least 5 years.  It will not charged and I have tried to carry out a DFU with out any result.  Any ideas please?

    Hi my wife has a 2008 iPod Touch which she has not used for approximately 5 years.  It will not charge and I have tried to carry out a Device Firmware Upgrade to no effect.  Can anyone please help?

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • My iPod shuffle, which I prchased in 2009 only worked for a short time so I put it back in the box and just recently took it out. I will not charge and the power light does not come on. It was faulty from the start and thought I was out the money I paid.

    My iPod shuffle only worked for a short time. It will not charge  and the power light does not come on. Bought it in 2009. Put it back in the box and in my desk. Recently tried to get it to work again but no luck. Anyone else have this problem? Very disappointed with the product although my wifes work perfectly.

    Can't say I haven't done the same kind of thing...keep finding things I had every intention of...
    If you have the chance stop by an Apple Retail store and talk to them about it...they often work deals for replacement of out of warranty non-working items for prices around half price.  Won't hurt to stop by and see what they will do for 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.

    Go through the steps here and see if anything works for you.

    You might have to bite the bullet and restore the device if nothing else works. If that doesn't bring it back to life, make an appointment at an Apple Store and let take a look at it.
