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

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

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?

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 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

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 sync with iTunes 10.4

My ipod classic 160 does not want to sync with the latest iTunes update(s). The same thing happened with the last update about a month ago. How do I fix this? The last time I put the ipod in disc mode and that seemed to work. But it isn't working this time. Any suggestions? Anyone know why this keeps happening?
Thanks.

Hi Pharmer
I had the same problem and finally found out it was the Spotlight in Lion that was causing the issue of the sync failing as its trying to do two things at once. At least thats what it has been for me.
By going to System Prefs > Spotlight > Privacy and adding the iPod to the list I was able to stop Spotlight indexing the iPod every time I attached it to my machine and thus stopping it from being able to sync.
You can check if its doing it by attaching your ipod then clicking on the spotlight in the top right. If its indexing it will tell you.
Hope this helps you out
Update: This worked to get my iPod full of stuff. Next time I tried, it won't sync, so back to square one...

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.

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?

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 sync with itunes 10.6.3

My new iPod Classic 7th Gen (2.0.5 mac) is not syncing with iTunes 10.6.3. I get an error message telling me to update iTunes to a version above 10.7.
This is not possible on a Powermac G5 (10.5.8) since it has no Intel Core.
Is there any way to restore the the iPod Classic to an earlier firmware version (before 2.0.5), that can communicate with iTunes 10.6.3?
Cheers, Joern.

Then I guess this iPod is going back to the store. I have a PPC G5, and everything was working fine. But, I just lost my iPod classic from two years ago, and just bought a replacement... now I cannot use iTunes 10.6.3 to synch with it. I am *not* buying a new computer *just* to sync my iPod. I will try linux synch software and if that doesn't work then it's going back to the store.

IPod Classic won't sync with iTunes library on external drive

iPod Classic 160 is recognized by iTunes. It knows the library is bigger than the iPod, and it allows me to select parts of the Music and Podcasts to install on said iPod. It whirs for a long time, pretends it's writing to the iPod. When I disconnect, there are no songs and no Podcasts on the iPod.
It did the same with a NEW iPod I bought yesterday.
How can I fix tbhis so I can write part of my library to at least one of my iPods?
Thanks for any help.

After searching this issue out and trying a bazillion different things (with no luck), I deselected 'Enable Disk Use' then re-enabled, and everything is working now.
Dear Apple -- What is up with that?

Ipod classic won't sync with Itunes

Help! Since the time change, neither my Iphone 3G nor Ipod classic will sync with Itunes.
I unplugged Iphone after receiving can not sync messages. Plugged back in & Itunes did a restore. However, upon starting to sync, message re-appeared that it could not sync. I unplugged Iphone and it is still functional.
However, when tried to sync Ipod, syncing continued overnight (about 12 hours). When I awoke this morning, PC was frozen and had to hard boot it. I then went back into Itunes and Itunes did not recognize that my Ipod was connected. I ran diagnostics and it failed at recognizing Ipod. Ipod is frozen with message "Connected, Eject before disconnecting' and is not functional. I have sent diagnostics to Apple and am waiting to here from them. However, thought I'd check here to see if anyone else had encountered this issue. I am totally lost without my Ipod and can not run or workout until repaired. That may sound silly. But it really helps me mentally through workouts.

Update: OK! I am not sure what happened because I have tried this all morning. I held down the menu key on Ipod for about the 12th time. This time it rebooted. Ipod is functioning and appears that it did sync. However, I am not yet confident about connecting it to Itunes. I may wait until I am ready to purchase more tunes in a few weeks. LOL.

Ipod classic won't connect with PC unless reset

Everytime I conect my Ipod to my windows 7 pc it does not appear in the iTunes list as connected devices, the iPod screen also does not recognise the PC when connected via USB. Reset the Ipod and it wil then connect as normal. A reset needs to be done everytime I want to sync.

A typical case of Antivirus intervention.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes cant read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck! and have a Nice Day!
