Ipod 1st generation not charging

Hi,
I've an ipod shuffle (1st generation) that is not charging, the shuffle is seen by my system and I was able to update it 1.1.4 firmware version today( I also restored it), but when the shuffle is connected to the high-power USB port it lights with the amber light to indicate that it's charging. However it never turns green and on removing it after >4hrs there is no activity from it and the battery indicator light does not light. It is out of warranty now so I was thinking of replacing the battery myself, however the fact that it's not charging at all would give me doubts that it may not be the battery and might be related to the circuit board.
Anybody seen this symptom before?

- Try another cable.
- 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.

  • IPod 1st generation not recognized on mac

    Why can't I get any help with my iPod 1st generation? I DO NOT BELIEVE this is just a coincidence that my old iPod stopped working the minute I installed the newest iTunes. I have talked to apple and they say that it is my old ipod which is no longer under warranty. Are they kidding? Do they think I'm just going to go out and buy a new iPod?

    I have downloaded the Shuffle Reset Utility but it
    does not recognized my iPod. I have switch USB ports
    numerous times. restarted my computer numerous times
    and had an online chat with an agent at Apple that
    lasted about 4 hours and I still can't get my iPod to
    work.
    I had no problems with my ipod until I downlaoded the
    new itunes. My Shuffle 1st generation is 18 months
    old and no longer under warranty. Am I supposed to
    buy a new iPod everytime Apple updates their software?
    Given that the warraty ran out on it 6 months ago, and you appear to not have extended it through AppleCare, you're out of luck UNLESS you can resucitate your Shuffle.
    ALL Of the things you've stated as having done don't include enough detail to let anyone HERE help you. Grousing about a dead Shuffle isn't giving us much of a foundation to work on.
    NOW, does it charge (front LED lights orange) while plugged into a USB port? IF NOT, does it charge in a USB port on another computer? IF NOT... it D e a D.

  • Ipod 1st Generation not playing on RCA RS3081i audio system w/ iPod dock

    I just bought an RCA RS3081i that clearly states that it can be used with iPod Touch 1st & 2nd Generation. I have followed the instructions on how to use my iPod (1st gen) but the music will not come through the speakers, only the iPod itself. It shows that it's charging so I know it's docked correctly. I have also tried using my cell phone to play mp3s through the line in and that also won't work. The speakers are set up correctly as the radio and cd player on the system works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    An update to the issue:
    I just tried my friend's Video iPod in the radio and it worked perfectly.
    Apparently, there is something wrong with the Shuffle itself that triggers the radio to turn off. As for what that problem is or what it is caused by, I'm still clueless.
    It is probably some kind of defect which I'll have to have looked at.
    The only suspicion is that, after browsing these forums for an identical problem, I found none. I just hope that this isn't something that is being transfered from computer to iPod and then on to the iH30 radio, as my security and virus protection on this laptop is weak.

  • IPod 5th generation not charging

    So i downloaded iOS8 and now my iPod will not charge. I've tried different outlets and even computer won't charge. I've soft reset it and I even restored it to see if it helps and it doesn't help. on iOS 7.1.2 it could charge in an hour or less and now if I ca get to charge it takes about 5 hours and it's still not 100%. It's not a hardware problem because it started the same evening I downloaded iOS 8. But I relally need to fix this since it's only a 2 month old iPod and I AM NOT willing to pay to have it fixed so soon after purchase! please help! Btw it shows as connected but it doesn't charge.

    I suspect it may be a problem/bug in the iOS 8.  With iOS 7 it seems that the iPod indicated it was fully changed too fast and maybe Apple fixed that in iOS 8.
    You can wait for iOS update or:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • IPod 5th Generation not charging properly after IOS 8 update...

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anybody has had this problem since the update or even with out the update.
    Ever since I updated my IPod to the new IOS 8 I have had trouble charging it. I would plug in the lightning cable and it would show that it is charging with the little symbol but it seems to lose charge while it is plugged in instead of actually charging, even though it says it is. It's also taking a lot longer to charge now that it is doing this and I was just wondering if anyone else might be having this problem or knows how to fix it.
    Thank you,
    Miranda.

    No problems here.
    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    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 (or it doesn't help), 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, read this.

  • Ipod 1st generation not working. I've tried the 5 R's, blinking orange.....

    went to put new podcasts on it--it would only play one.
    I tried to delete the podcasts and add them again--it still would only play 1.
    It then was flashing an orange light at me.
    I've tried resetting it.
    I did the reset utility--which i thought had worked, but now still it will only play 1 podcast.
    It shows as though 5 are there, but it won't play more.
    I've turned it off, tried in other USB ports--no change.
    I've read the section about where "windows confuses ipod with network drive" tried to rename the drive, however my ipod doesn't show up under disk management.
    it only shows up for a second and then disappears.

    This happens to many 1st Gen. Shuffles, me being one of them. The only thing you can do is file the warranty with Apple. Hopefully you still are under warranty!

  • IPod 3 rd generation not charging

    I have an iPod 3rd generation it charges with a power charger but not with the special cord for iPod in my car?
    Any ideas?

    Is it a third gen "classic" iPod with a "touch" wheel (not click wheel) and four touch buttons (that glow orange) in a row between the wheel and screen?
    If it is, that iPod is designed to use a FireWire connection.  It does not change from a USB connection, like later iPods.  Therefore, my guess for why charging in the car does not work is that the "special cord" is only supplying power to the "pins" in the dock connector for USB charging, not FireWire charging.

    - Try another cable (not necessary if using same cable that works for other devices)
    - Try on another computer (not necessary since other iOS devices connect.
