Ipod classic doesn't charge from 24Volt
MyiPod classis A1238 doen't charge from 24 Volt and from wall charger. It does from USB connected to my iMac.
What could be wrong?
All original cables. exchanging checked cables doesn't work either.

So the 12v Parrot car kit is different to the 12v car charger then? Or is one of these items actually the 24v charger you referred to earlier?
A few points to note:
Any Apple charger should be okay. If the wall charger is non-Apple, make sure to check the rating.
Whatever the source, the output from the charger needs to be at least 500mA. This "output rating" should be writtten on the device somewhere, as 5v 500mA or similar. If the charger supplies only 300mA (a common rating) this will not charge an iPod Classic.
Car batteries supply 12 volts. So a car charger needs to change the 12 volts to 5 volts. Some old iPods could be charged with 12 volts and some (not so old) iPod models could be charged by either 12 or 5 volts. However, the voltage was supplied on a different "line" (or wire) into the iPod. So a charger that changes 12 volts to 5, but feeds the 5 volts on the 12 volt line, will not change an iPod. As far as I recall, no iPod Classic can be charged with 12 volts, all Classics use 5 volts. (See point 5 about the definition of a Classic.)
A 24 volt charger (to which you referred originally) would presumably be for a commercial vehicle. So a charger designed for 24 volt supply in, needs to step down (change the voltage) to 5 volts out.
Here's a major point: is your iPod actually a Classic, as defined by this article; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 ? If it is not either an 80GB, 120GB or 160GB iPod, then it is not a Classic. In that case, check with the article to correctly identify your iPod.
If your car charger has a plug-in lead, with a plug that can be turned around to supply the same voltage, but with opposite polarity, then you need to check that the lead is connected the correct way.

HT1384 iPod Classic will not charge from wall outlet
My iPod Classic 80G will charge from my computers and my iHome dock, but not from the wall outlet. The cord, outlet, and adapter all work. We know the regular adapter works, it's an Apple universal USB to wall adapter that charges our iPad. We tried other cords (have two), other outlets, and even my kindle 2-prong adapter. Nothing worked. Suggestions?
Hello there, Anhaja.
First off, great job in your isolating steps performed already. One step that wasn't mentioned is found in the following Knowledge Base article:
How to reset iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
For your particular model:
How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

IPod Classic Doesn't Charge in PC Port
This is my first post, so bear with me.
So, I'm at school, and a 4th grade teacher calls me down to her room. She said she had two broken iPods w/ chargers. She gave these to me, saying that I could keep one if I could fix them. She wasn't very good with technology, and I simply charged the iPods and they turned on and operated. Except for one. I can use the second iPod if it's plugged into the wall and stand for it, but If I plug it into my PC, it shows the Apple logo and quickly turns off. Both iPods are 1st Generation 40GB iPod Classics. It doesn't appear in the iTunes window, so I can't update/restore it. Any help?

IPod classic will only charge from my computer
I have an iPod Classic 80gb and it won't charge from my wall charger or my car charger it will only charge from my iMac and MacBook Pro what can I do to fix this.
If it charges from your computer, then there is nothing wrong with your iPod charging. The problem then goes to your charger.
just in case, try a 12w charger or use a different charger. -
My daughter bought a 4th generation ipod classic without a charger. The ipod was working just fine, but then we tried to charge it using a brand new charger for an Ipod Touch. It won't charge and someone online someone posted that there ipod touch charger worked on the ipad, phone and whatever else he had but it wouldn't work on the classic. Anyone else have this same issue? Any solutions?
The ipod did not come with a power cord as we purchased it used from ebay. The ipod was half charged when we received it and it worked well enough to transfer songs to my computer (the previous seller didn't delete their 2000 plus songs). My son then used the same cord on his computer to transfer the songs, but processed an update to the ipod and after that,it wouldn't work. So, I'm not sure if we received a bum ipod, an update issue or we have a charger issue, but the cord we used to transfer the songs came from my son's brand new ipod touch. We've also tried 2 other chargers from ipods we have in the house, 1 being a wall charger.
One individual posted online that he took his ipod classic, mac and phone overseas with one charger and it worked fine on all but the classic. So, I'm thinking that they cords may not be universal. Online I've read that it must be a 6 pin firewire, high power 2.0 usb cord. Or that I need to purchase an applie charger. We don't live close to an apple store and I'm reluctant to order one just to have it NOT work.
My daughter is learning the hard way that buying off of ebay is not always the best solution to a cash strapped 12 year old.
Any other advice is greatly appreciated. -
My week old iPod classic doesn't appear to be charged although it has been connected to my laptop. Nothing happens when I select the menu. I've followed the trouble shooting suggestions but nothing has changed. I've shut down my laptop and rebooted it. Still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
NuggetHow long did you leave the iPod to charge? Have you tried doing a hard reset to see if that makes a difference? To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all
2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all, not on pc or mac or wall or anywhere. I need the information on it, last time it was backed up was 2 years ago,cracked glass and bad headphone jack. can Apple help me get my info out of it? it is out of warranty, can i pay to have it fully recovered as if it never died?
Try connecting it for a charging source for 24 hours.
Then 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.
- Then see if iTunes can see the iPod so you can get info from it
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. They may or may not be able to get info from the iPod. It depends upon what is wrong

My ipod classic will not charge or turn on
MY IPOD CLASSIC WILL NOT CHARGE OR TURN ON
Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire power adapter or FireWire-based car charger.
Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
Try another USB port.
Try charging from a USB charger if available.
If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.

My ipod classic no longer charges with my car transmitter (monster) or memorex stereo with ipod dock. Both used to work just fine and it still charges with the usb that plugs into my computer. Could it have anything to do with updating firmware? I went from 1.0.1 to 1.1.2 around the same time I noticed the issue, just want to see if it's anything else before I go back to 1.0.1. Thanks for any help-
What I did was buy a mains charger from ebay,they cost about a £1 or £2
plus about £3 postage,it works great,at least now I dont need to use a PC to
charge it up i.e on holidays or at work.
P.S type this into the ebay search bar "ipod Classic mains charger"
then change to "lowest first" on the right of the page.
Hope this helps -
help my my battery life is really bad on my ipod touch 5 with ios 7.0.4
my ipod touch 5 is charging from 12% to 56% on 1minute and then when its 56 it turns to 26 after 2 minutes what can i do?, please help me.Stop unplugging it.
At best, the percentage indicator is approximate and regardless of what your percentage indicator states, the battery will not go from 12% to 56% in one minute - and be able to run the iPod without dropping as much as yours does.
The behaviour that you cite is nothing unusual. If your battery is at only 12% when you plug it in, it will still take two or three hours (thereabouts) to be fully charged. In the meantime, the percentage indicator cannot be relied upon.
Charging a battery takes something like four hours from flat. So plug your iPod in and leave it alone for a few hours. The iPod Touch user guide for iOS 7 states that there is a battery icon in the top-right corner, which shows the battery level or charging status. It appears to be slightly different from earlier versions, but this is is what the guide shows:
I assume therefore, that when the iPod is fully charged, the lightning symbol disappears, leaving only the full battery.
If your iPod shows this lightning symbol when you put it on charge (not your % indicator, but Apple's icon), leave it on charge; check it every hour (maximum of four hours) to see if the lightning flash has disappeared. When it does, then - and only then - is it fully charged. At this time, when you unplug it, your percenatge indicator should show a much better level of charge.
Spend time enjoying your iPod instead of fretting about why a part-charged battery doesn't last as long as you think it should.

My iPod Classic is not charging. I had it charged for a whole day and never charges. It will only turn on when plugged in. What can I do to get this work again.
Most likely the iPod battery is dead.
If you connect the iPod to a USB2.0 port and reset it, what do you see on the iPod Screen. Can you get to the Music menu and play music? or do you get the "Do not disconnect screen"?
Have a nive day! -
I can not get my ipod classic to transfer photos from my ipod to my pc
You need a third-party program like the paid PhoneView or TouchCopy. The free iFunBox may work.
