I pod nano. wont charge.. ( it says its done but its not)

i bought a 2gb ipod nano. when i connectd it to my computer, it died. and it wouldnt charge. so today i bought the power adapter and plugged it in to that. it says its charging for a bit, than it says its done. in like 2 minutes. then i unplug it from the charger, it has only a little battery "juice". (the battery indicator is red and on the empty side.
anyone know anything i can do?

See: iPod battery doesn't charge.
If none of the above help, then it's probably a service issue.
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.

  • I pod nano wont charge

    Merry christmas all,
    Subject says it all. Just got an ipod nano 4 gig for christmas and it wont charge. Tryed my sons usb lead that works for his nano 2 gig on the same computer and that wont charge my ipod either. Ipod not recognised by computer, wont turn on, cant reset, cant do anything. It is as dead as the turkey in my oven.
    Anyone have a clue what is wrong or what to do?
    Many thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What do you mean by it won't charge your iPod either? Is it only charging the 2GB nano?
    Try going through these:

  • Nano wont charge or recognize by USB, but will charge by firewire?

    I have an iPod Nano. Its not that old cause I have had this issue for a while and I cant really use it cause its got a lot of old music on it. Anyway. I use the same USB cord to charge my iPhone. It is actually the same cable that came with the nano that I use for the phone. The Nano will charge by firewire, but it wont do anything via usb. Is it garbage? If so, why will it still play?

  • Nano wont charge or connect with USB but will with firewire.

    My nano has been acting CRAZY. When I hook it up to the firewire charger it charges, but of course it wont sync. It holds the charge fine. If I hook it up with the normal charger it does NOTHING. It wont charge or connect to iTunes. What did I do? Also, I use the same cable to do my iPhone. It worked great for both. Then it quit for the nano.

    Well,
    You probably didn't have iTunes open (if that's where it syncs from).
    If that' right, then when you want to charge or sync from your iPod, make sure iTunes is open.
    This should help, but if you already did this, I'm sorry. I have no advice.

  • My charger keeps saying its not certified and it wont charge how can i fix this.?

    i have a iphone 5c

    Hi MNT,
    When I plug my iPhone into my iPad charger, it oftentimes won't "recognize" the charger until I unplug it, and then slowly insert the connector to my phone. That would be all I could suggest. How long have you had your iPhone 5? If it is under a year old, then you can take the phone and the charger to your nearest Apple Store and show them the issue. If the charger is faulty, they will replace it for you.
    Cheers,
    GB

    Is it not charging at all? Did you try to reset? If YES to both, request for a replacement of the ipod. Battery or the unit itself is defective. Cheers!

    Skype wont open, saying its "not supported on this Aschitecture". How can I get it to work??
    I have downloaded Skype from its main website for MAC, but still it says " can't open Skype. not supported on this Architecture" when i click on it.  I don't know why it wont. This isn't an old Desktop Mac computer, and Skype downloaded with no problems on my Mac Lap top. So what's wrong this time?
    Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

    That error message means that your email address is already associated with another Apple ID. It could be tied to GameCenter, iTunes Store, or another Apple ID.

  • HT201210 wont back up, says its corrupt

    wont back up, says its corrupt

    I am trying to back up an iPad to iOS 8.0.2. using iTunes.  The back up downloads but will not install as a message says it is corrupt.  I have looked at the back up log under preferences>devices and the only back up listed is for the existing back up done about a year ago. Should I delete this back up which means I won't have any at all. I don't want to risk this if it will not solve the issue.
    Thank you.

  • I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

    i'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games!

    I have exactly the same problem.
    I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
    Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
    Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
    The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
    What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
    PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
    If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.
