IPod 5th gen won't charge with wall charger

I just recently purchased a 5th gen iPod touch. I had a little USB wall charger for my camera and decided to charge my iPod with it. It didn't work and it charges on a computer just fine so it isn't the cable. I then tried using my friend's Apple wall charger which worked for his iPhone 4 just fine. That didn't work either but my iPod will charge with a computer. Any ideas?

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- 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.

Do you need a converter to charge Ipod nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/plug adapter in Switzerland?

do you need a converter to charge Ipod Nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/adapter plug in Switzerland? or is the Ipod Nano dual-voltage?

None of the iDevices are multi-voltage themselves...the chargers from Apple are all 110-240 volt. You will have to look at the non-Apple charger you have and see if it says it handles 110-240 volts. Most made today are capable of that range, or they would have to make a different item for each country.
All you probably need is a plug-pin converter, can find those in the airport, at least in Zurich, don't know about Geneva.

My ipod 5th gen won't change volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can change the volume on the speaker. How do I fix this?

My ipod 5th gen won't let me adjust volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can adjust the volume on the speaker. How do I fix this?

Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

Why won't my new 4s charge with wall charger?

Why won't my new 4s charge with wall charger? It will charge when docked for off the computer but I need to use the wall charger.

Have you got a friend who has the same phone, you could try to use their adapter and see if you could get it fixed. Also you could upgrade the iOS5 see if it fixes the issue. http://www.itjungles.com/iphone-tips/iphone-4s-update-to-ios5-to-fix-battery-pow er-issue

My iPod 5th gen won't charge:'(

As stated in the tittle my iPod won't charge. I have looked at a lot of the similar posts but none of them are helpful. I can NOT get into DFU mode, I HAVE read both iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting and iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery pages, I HAVE tried another cable and another wall charger, I HAVE checked all connections/sockets on the iPod, cord, and wallcharger for debree, rust, or other forign materials, and I HAVE tried plugging it into my computer.
Just for clarification, my sister has an iPod 5th gen with the iOS 7.0.4 and her iPod charges on both mine and her cable/wallcharger/computer BUT my iPod does not charge on any combination of those. The nearest apple store is 1hr 29mins from me (I checked!)
Usually computers and tech do not elude my deductive skills but this has me stumped! Please help! Any of such is greatly appriecated!

Mine had been fading for a while before the warranty was up, and then became mostly unchargeable in the eleventh month.
I took it to a Genius bar where they were able to test it and swap it for a new iPod touch.
Just make sure you have done a very careful backup before you go, I have had weird sync problems after the swap, getting my stuff back.
I suggest the simplest method is to clear off just about everything you can, especially the photos. Less to chase when things go pear shaped.

My iPod 5th gen won't turn on!

My iPod 5th gen was working fine last night and after charging it won't turn on with power button today. I'm not able to reboot using home button and power button simultaneously because my home button stopped working couple weeks back and I was using touch screen for home function. Any suggestions on how I can reboot without the home button working? Thanks!

See this previous discussion:
Turn on without Home/Power Button

IPod 5th Gen Won't Connect to Chargers

So I've had my iPod 5th gen with iOS 7.1.2 for a little over a year now, and recently I noticed it wouldn't connect to any chargers I had. I went online and bought a brand new lightning cable to find that that would not work either. Then I read about cleaning my charger port to get dust out, and I did that getting large amounts of debris out of there with a toothpick, but it still will not charge properly. The only way I can get my iPod to charge is to bend the cable (even the brand new one) in a certain direction. Can anyone help me?

DIM/GRAY
See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

My iPod 5th Gen (2005-06) will not accept charge when I need to update it. What do I do?

I was recently given an old iPod (5th gen from 2005-06) and I went to update and iTunes told me to charge it on a wall socket to complete the update, however when I plug it in it no longer receives power. It did before the update but now it doesn't and my iPod no longer works. All it does is display an image of a plug going into a wall socket.

Try here.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would first try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

My ipod 5th gen battery is not holding a charge,

my ipod 5th gen is not holding a charge like it should so i tryed to get it repaired under warranty, but the site said they couldnt create repaire because of repair buisness mapping?

I'm not sure what site you used or what the error was, but if you can't set up service via Apple's web site, call them:

IPod won't charge with wall charger?

i have tried to charge my ipod touch 4 gen by a wall charger, or mains ac adaptor. it wont charge!! what wattage of voltage etc do you need to be able to have enough power to charge it?
btw isnt a apple charger, but using the apple usb cable

So frustrating - I am having the same problem. I have 2 shuffles and BOTH will not charge (via computer or wall charger) It seems strange that the first one (several years old) worked fine until recently when BOTH seemed to have died. Will not charge at all....

Ipod touch (5th gen) won't sync with computer

I had to close my itunes on my computer because it was not responding and now my ipod won't sync with my itunes anymore. It charges normally, but my computer reads the ipod now as a camera instead of an ipod.

Try:
- Reboot the computer
- 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.

Ipod 60GB 5th gen won't sync with iTunes.

Itunes recognizes the Ipod but, when it stars to sync, I get a message saying that the attempt failed because it's not possible to read or copy on the disc. Dows anyone know how to fix it?
Thank you!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My ipod 5th Gen won't play some songs

5th gen. nano won't play songs that play perfectly fine in itunes library, help?
i have a new 5th generation nano and the most recent version of itunes. i just downloaded a bunch of songs that play fine in my itunes library but when i try to listen to them on my ipod, it immediately skips to another song. only a few of the songs that i synched actually play. i have tried deleting them from my ipod and my itunes library and then adding them back to the library and resynching but i am still having this problem. can anyone tell me what is wrong and what i can do to fix this? thanks for the help.

Check what format they're in and try converting them to AAC (you can do this by right clicking the song that isn't working & selecting create AAC version). I just started having this problem with MP3s that were playing just fine a couple of hours ago, so i converted them to AAC and now they work just fine. Hope this helps you.

Ipod will not charge with wall charger or computer

Until maybe 2-3 days ago, my ipod was working fine. Now, when I plug it up to be charged, it won't. Not with the wall charger or the cable that connects to the computer, which are all Apple products and charge my ipad. The computer won't even recognize that anything is plugged into it. There are no error messages. Any help?

Hmm, that's weird. I've used the iPad charger to charge my ipod before with no problems. It's more like wall adapter that I can insert the Apple usb into.
But, I've used both cables, the one that came with the ipod/pad and neither are working.

IPod 5th gen won't turn on.

I have a 5th gen iPod. It had a full battery and I locked it. About a minute later I went to check the time and it wouldn't turn on. I have plugged it into a power source and into a computer and there's no response. It won't show up into iTunes and nothing happens when I hold the top lock button for an extended period of time.
The home button doesn't work so I've been using the accessibility home button for a little while so I can't hold both to force reset. What else can I try...?

YESSSS, ITS WORKING AGAIN.
Unfortunately I cracked the screen trying to un-jam the home button. It's minor and you can't even tell it's cracked though. Still completely useable. I'm just glad it's working again for now. I'm going to replace it with an iPhone eventually.
