Ipod classic not charging

Ipod classic is not charging

Need more info to help.
How old is your iPod?
How are you charging it? using Wall charger or PC USB port?
Normally it takes at least 2hours to charge it to 80% capacity and 4 hours to full capacity.

  • IPod Classic not charging or showing in coputer devices/iTunes

    When I connect my iPod classic (120Gb) to my laptop it no longer shows under the computers devices.
    The screen of the iPod shows "Charging. Please wait...". However, it does not charge. I have tried connecting the iPod to other computers to charge and with other USB connectors but there is still no difference. HELP!!

    Hello Aideen,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    So you have tried using a different USB cable as well as plugging the iPod into different USB ports on your computer? Have you tried resetting your iPod with it connected to your computer? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. Try more than once if need be.
    Otherwise, have you considered uninstalling iTunes and all Apple software on your system and starting from scratch? Here are instructions if need be.

    What happens when you force the iPod into *Disk Mode* using the instruction in this Apple support document?

    Does it appear in "My Computer" at least as a mounted drive? If so, try reformatting it using the tools provided by windows?

  • IPod Classic not charging after sync

    When I plug my iPod Classic into my computer, it syncs up normally with iTunes, and the battery icon gives a "charging" indication. But when it finishes the sync and says "OK to disconnect", the icon stops showing the charging symbol, and the iPod stops charging itself. It only shows the charging icon for the few seconds while it's actually on the "Connected to iPod" screen and syncing up. The battery is now almost dead and I am at my wits' end. It only started doing this recently, I suspect due to some update or another. Help?

    I've just had the same problem and couldn't find any answers. You may have found this out by now but thankfully you can still charge the iPod at least...
    Open iTunes and click on preferences (either from the small box in top left, or under edit); click on devices; make sure "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically" is ticked; Click OK.
    Now when you plug in your iPod the "Connected - Eject before disconnecting" screen should remain and it should charge. Then do any syncs after it's fully charged.

    Hello,
    The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
    Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
    <a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
    Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
    Have you checked this link out?:
    <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
    Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...

    PLZZ help ,y ipod is not charging not displaying anything...

    To much electricity could get into your iPod causing your iPod battery to completely get damaged. To replace the battery (if under warrenty)..... click here: Battery Replacement
    Apple offers a battery replacement for $49 (iPod shuffle), $59 (iPod nano and classic), $79 (iPod touch) plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.
    If you want to replace it yourself click on one or more of these links:

  • Ipod Classic (120Gb) charging

    My Ipod Classic (120Gb) charges when I use my Retina Ipad USB charger but does not show the charging/completed symbol as it does when I charge from my PC. My Ipod Nano (2Gb) has no problem with either method. Any ideas why?

    Hi Mario,
    All good information but it doesn't answer the question. The Adaptor supplied with the latest Ipad is more than adequate to supply the Classic and so I would expect the charging symbols to appear. When using the standard 5w charger the Ipod displays the charging state correctly but when using the 10w charger it gives the impression that it isn't charging even though it is. One snippet I didn't say is that the charge symbol only showed a 50% charge when in actual fact it was fully charged.
    Anyway thanks for your interest if I find an answer I let the community know.

  • My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

    My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
    Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

    Hi there Apples or Pears,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older 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 will not charge or connect to itunes

    Hello, My name is Perla and I am a proud customer of Apple. I bought my iPod Touch 4G 8G on March 17, 2011. I had no problems over the course of almost a year. Last week, my iPod would not charge or connect to iTunes. I took it to the Apple Store and they exchanged mine for another. Just a couple of days ago, my new iPod had been experiencing the same problem. As of now, it would not charge to my computer or any outlet for that matter or connect to iTunes. I want to take it to the Apple Store and get it checked out but I'm afraid they won't exchange it again, they'll probably charge me and I don't have the money. Any ideas or suggestions?

    I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  You warranty is istll in effect.  The warranty for a replacement iPod is 90 days or the remainder of the original warranty, which  ever is greater.

  • Can I charge my 2013 ipod classic with my original ipod classic firewire charger?

    Can I charge my 2013 ipod classic with my original ipod classic firewire charger?

    Nope, I'm sorry. iOS/iTunes only (you need a connection to your network, and the iPod classic doesn't have network capabilities).
