IPod Classic won't charge using MA242LL/A

I recently purchased a used MA242LL/A AV connection kit for use with my 120GB iPod classic. The MA242LL/A connection kit contains a connector cable with a firewire output, which plugs into the 2-prong power adapter, however, my iPod will not charge while resting in the dock (which is, in turn, plugged into a power outlet via the firewire cable and power adapter). Audio output is working properly via the dock, so that piece of the puzzle doesn't seem to be at fault.
Is the 120GB classic compatible with this firewire doc cable and accompanying power adapter, or will I need to upgrade to the USB style cable and a suitable adapter?

Is the 120GB classic compatible with this firewire doc cable and accompanying power adapter
No.

Ipod classic won't charge

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

IPOD classic won't charge with 10W IPAD charger

I have an IPOD Classic, 120 GB, an IPOD touch and an IPAD. The 120GB IPOD classic will not charge with the new 10W IPAD charger. Charges fine with the original IPOD classic charger. The 10W IPAD charger charges the IPOD touch and IPAD just fine. Any one have any ideas what might be going on?

It should work. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3044169?start=0&tstart=0

My iPod classic won't charge or be recognized on any device!

My iPod Classic 120GB won't charge or be recognized on any device.
I have tried charging it with both docks, wall chargers and a car charger, have tried different cables and charger combinations and it simply won't charge or make any noise, although when i plug it in the screen will light-up, as if to recognize i've plugged it in but nothing more.
Also when using it on a computer it simply comes up as device not recognized and that there is an error. Again i have tried 2 different computers both with a multitutde of different cables and usb port combinations. It won't come up as a drive or in iTunes
I have tried doing the two button menu + select reset many, many times and this doesn't fix it.
I have also tried booting it into dfu mode and disk mode and in neither of these modes will it charge or be recognized on the computer. I have tried reinstalling the drivers on both pc's to no avail.
The one strange thing though that is giving me some small hope is that what I did earlier was completely discharge the device to the point when it says please connect your charger and when i connect a charger it actually says charging, please wait, and then boots into the menu but as soon as it hits the menu it stops charging and will die again within about ten-fifteen minutes (if playing music).
Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, i know it's no longer under warranty and i live in New Zealand so there's very little support for these devices here!

I've solved the problem, after having an Ipod Classic do the same thing a year ago out of warrenty I bought the Nano.Now 1 yr old and this Nano is useless, not even heavy enough to be a paper weight.Taking the unit to the idiots at the Apple store did nothing...GREAT customer support there Apple! After doing some research I've found that this is an ongoing problem and apparently Apple doesn't want to fix it.The Nano is in the garbage and I will no longer buy Apple products. I purchased an MP3 player and will transfer the music I have in Itunes to MP3's and find a site that supports MP3 players to buy music from in the future....All that's left is for me to hit all the social media sites I use and explain the problem and Apple's solution...what a waste of my time AND my money!

IPod Classic won't charge with iPad charger

I have a 120GB iPod Classic and tried to charge it using the charger from my iPad 2. No luck - the indicator doesn't show that it's charging. The iPad 2 charger works fine on my iPhone 4 and I read that it should work with the iPod as well. Shouldn't it? Any thoughts? My goal is to be able to travel with just one charger. Thanks

IPod Classic Won't Charge Or Turn On

Hello,
This past Christmas I received a 160gb black ipod classic for a present and it has worked fine up until now.
I was using my ipod on Sunday just fine but I believe that I might have not taken it off hold and the battery Is now completely dead.
I plugged it in and waited well over 30 min and yet it is still unresponsive. I have plugged it into a wall charger and into my PC and there is still nothing. The Ipod also does not register with my ITunes when plugged into the PC.
I am very worried because this Ipod is fairly new and I don't know where to go from here.
I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions that anyone can give!!
Much Thanks

No Problem, but you can try the Reset
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

Good luck!

New Ipod Classic Won't Charge Or Be Recognized On PC

Hello,
I just bought a 120 gb Ipod Classic a few days ago. It's my first Ipod, so I could be missing something. However, when I plug it into my laptop, I get the "charging, please wait" screen. The screen won't change, no matter how long it's charging, up to being plugged in overnight.
The Ipod will charge through my wall charger about 50% of the time. However, when I plug the Ipod back into the computer, I get the same "charging, please wait" screen. Any advice would be appreciated.

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again? If this does not help, have a look at the suggestions in this article: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Removing all Apple related software and reinstalling iTunes again can also bring back the needed drivers. Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Ipod classic won't charge, 3sec pause every 3rd song, play/pause not work

clearly i have a problem. it's just over a year old and has suddenly started to malfunction. tried resetting obviously to no avail. first i noticed the play/pause didn't work but can get around this, then noticed it wouldn't charge as normal - given 24hrs plugged into mains it only charge half way - and as soon as you use it all all it's in the red again. also about every 3rd song the music stops for about 3seconds - then resumes - it does this even when plugged into a power source. HELP i'm travelling in SE asia for the next 3 months and can't have it die on me as it functions as hard drive for my travel photos too!!

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.

IPod Classic won't charge with iPad AC charger

I want to charge my iPod classic with my iPad's AC USB charger (model number A1357) but it doesn't seem to work. With the AC charger is plugged into a wall outlet and the iPod classic connected to the charger with a USB sync cable, the iPod doesn't charge. The same charger and sync cable charge my iPad without any problem. Also, using the same cable, I am able to charge the iPod Classic through the USB port on my wired Apple keyboard.
Any ideas what is wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

IPod Photo won't charge with Power Adapter but charges through Computer....

Hi got this problem... searched the discussion board but didn't find any satisfying answers.
Hope somebody can help me out here.
Problem description:
My iPod photo won't charge using the power adapter from Apple. Bought a second one won't work, used different cables won't work either.
however it does charge via the USB port of the computer.
And it also charges via the car stereo plug (forgot the real name but it's from the apple store).
So does anybody have a similar problem? Could it be the iPod that is defective and also destroyes the Power Adapter maybe?
didn't try a different iPod to charge yet. So that's one thing left to try for verification.
untill then maybe somebody knows help, and it might be just a little setting thing.
Thanks for the Help

hi Rene!
hmmmm. it sounds like you've already tried most of the things listed on these documents:
iPod's battery doesn't charge
iPod: Troubleshooting the Apple iPod AC Adapter
iPod: About the Apple iPod Power Adapter
from what you're reporting, i'm currently most suspicious of the electrical outlets you're using with those adapters. if you try switching it to a different outlet, does it charge properly then?

My daughter bought an 4th generation ipod classic without a charger. We are using the charger from an ipod touch and it won't charge. Someone posted online that not all chargers will work on the classic. Anyone else have this issue and any suggestions?

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.

When using USB input iPod classic won't read in new car

Just bought a new car with a factory iPod ready stereo system. When using the USB input iPod Classic won't read but son's iPod touch does. Anyway I can fix this? I know my Classic works fine as I was using it in my other car and it works in my wife's car. Is the car just too new therefore making my Classic incompatible and soon to be obsolete?

the best option is to contact the car manufacturer or look at the manual to make sure it supports your ipod verision. if it is a custom radio then look then contact the manufacturer or look at the manual for same thing. you can try a reset with http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.

Can different chargers hurt the ipod? (Ex. iphone charger used on a ipod classic)

Can different chargers hurt the ipod? (Ex. iphone charger used on a ipod classic)

I am pretty sure that it does not harm the ipod. I have been using my iphone charger on shuffles, nanos, touches, and ipads, kindles, and more ever sense the iphone came out and i have never had any issues with any of them. You should be fine using them.

IPod Dock Won't Charge iPod Classic 3rd Gen

Hi,
I have an iPod Classic 3rd generation that is running Version 2.3 with the Capacity of 13.9 GB.
Model: M946OCH
It looks like this:
http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/profilemojo_data/5/8/5/1/585103/pics/_c297123_image0.png
The problem: this iPod Classic will not charge on ANY iPod Dock. No matter what brand or type, as long as it is the standard iPod Dock, it will not charge at all. It also has trouble playing songs and stops midway.
I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen and it works fine on the same dock.
Is there anything I can try to fix this problem for my iPod Classic? I tried connecting it to iTunes, restored it and updated it to the latest firmware.
Please try and solve this problem.

Playing songs doesn't work either. The first song will play for 30 so seconds then will stop and the iPod will freeze until I unplug it.
Is there any way to work around this problem. Maybe some type of an adapter that the iPod sits on, and the adapter then sits on the dock so that it can transmit everything properly. I do not believe that the only solution is just to buy an older dock.
