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 touch 5th generation not charging anymore

    I got my Ipod for Christmas in 2012 and it was kept in perfect condition until one little drop that shattered the screen about 10 months ago. The drop never affected the performance of the Ipod in anyway. It worked fine until yesterday when I thought my charger started getting faulty. My friend plugged his phone in and it charged  perfectly fine and that left me to think that it is either the battery that is old/ breaking or the charging port is messed up. I've cleaned it out and plugged it in but nothing is happening. I plug in the charger and no charging notification shows up.

  • My ipod 5th generation wont charge after ios 8 update .. does this have something to with the charger not being an apple product?

    Before the update my iPod was charging fine. then when I updated it started acting funny like one minute it would charge then it wouldn't then the next after IOS 8 came out my iPod wouldn't charge at all. could it be that my charger isn't an apple product? PLEASE HELP!!!  I have important notes from school on here and I'm afraid to ask my mother for a new one without giving her a good explanation.

    Could be that the update make the iPod more aware of marginal cable. Other users have reported the same.

  • 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?

  • IPod 5th gen not charging

    Hello guys. Today I connected my iPod 5th gen to the charger and I noticed it wasn't charging. This started today. Someone please help me. I appreciate every tip and help I recieve.

    Hey Suhey, first inspect the charging port, your looking for foreign debris, lint, dirt etc. anything that could be blocking an electrical connection, if you see something try to carefully remove it. Just be careful not to touch or bend or damage the pins. If you must use a wooden toothpick to remove any foreign debris from the port and inspect the port for visible damage, cracks, missing pieces, etc. If not the issue, then try a different cable. The lighting cables have a history of breaking, shorting out. They will look just fine, but not work. If not the issue with the new cable try a different charging device. If still not working, attempt a reset, press and hold both the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds +/-, then release both buttons.  If you can still turn on your iPod go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still not charging connect to your computer and make backups of the stuff you have on your iPod then Restore from Backup last resort, Restore to New. If that doesn't work try letting your iPod drain completely, go dead then attempt to charge. If still not working, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

  • IPod 5th Generation not showing up

    I have an old iPod 80Gb, 5th gen. which has problems connecting to iTunes.
    If iTunes is on, and I connect the iPod via USB, the screen says "Do not disconnect" but the iPod does not show in iTunes.
    If I reset the iPod, it will show up.
    It will also sometimes show up, if iTunes is off and I connect the iPod, resulting in iTunes starting up.
    But it's very erratic.
    I have done a full factory restore of the iPod but problem remains the same.
    In the iTunes Preferences, my iPod is also not listed (iPhones and iPads are listed)
    Is this a bug with iTunes? or...?

    Good to hear you found the solution.

  • IPod 5th Generation not responding, seems to be reset to 4th G iPod.

    I got a new fifth generation iPod yesterday, and when I went to connect it to my computer, I installed the software, blah blah blah, connected it, and it only put one song from iTunes onto the iPod. So I connected it again, and still nothing. Downloaded the latest software, tried to restore it, and it said something about Firmware not working..?
    So I disconnected it, tried to reset it, no such luck, put it into disk mode, still nothing.
    So when I disconnected it, it turned on and had the folder with the exclamation point with the support website underneath.
    When I bought this, it was a video iPod.
    Now all it is doing is when I connect it, saying Do Not Disconnect, not syncing with iTunes, Restoring, Resetting, or responding. It's also all in black and white, like the old iPod, but everything is smaller.
    I'm close to just about shooting myself at this point, so any help, at all, would be appriciated.

    hi .candykisses! (what a lovely alias.)
    So when I disconnected it, it turned on and had the folder with the exclamation point with the support website underneath.
    we'd probably better check on these issues first:
    iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point after disconnecting from a Windows PC
    iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop, an exclamation point or sad iPod icon appears onscreen
    keep us posted.

  • My ipod 5th generation charges when connected to my PC but not recognised in itunes with windows 8.1

    Why is my ipod 5th generation not recognised in itunes in windows 8.1?Connection to my PC only charges the battery.

    Did this iPod previously work with this computer (running Windows 8.1), and does not now for some reason?  Or is this the first time (or the first time with Windows 8.1)?
    The fact that only the battery charging symbol appears on the iPod screen seems to indicate that the iPod does not recognize a data connection.  It's like you are connecting the iPod to USB (wall) power adapter.  It is likely that the Windows system also does not see the iPod as a connected device; you should confirm by looking at Device Manager.
    You should rule out a faulty USB docking cable.  The dock connector has separate connection points for power and data, so it is possible for it to connect to charge the battery but not connect for data.  So, if possible, try another docking cable, or try the cable you have with another Apple device.
    You should rule out a problem on the USB port.  If you connect something else to the same port, does it work properly?  Preferably, you should use something similar, like a USB flash drive or port-powered external drive, and try copying over some large files.
    If the USB port and docking cable are OK, the cause is more likely to be on the iPod (such as a dock connector that is worn out from use).
