IPod doesn't charge properly

My daughter plugs her iPod into my iMac to charge and it charges just enough to work and then stops charging. Then she can play with it for a few minutes and it will warn her to plug it in to charge it even though it IS still plugged in. This has been going on for months, though inconsistently. What's going on?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. Could be the battery is bad.

Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded. My ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all.The LED screen shows "copy 1 or 2 from 101" and it will remain like that. It looks like sync but there's nothing to happen. It doesn't stop by it self. How to solve?

Since itunes 2.0.4 has been downloaded my ipod doesn't synchronize properly/ at all. The LED screen shows çopying 1 or 2 from 101' and itt will remain like that.
It looks like sync but nothing is happening. The sync doesn't stop by itself. Is there anybody to solve this problem? In previous versions never a problem.

I have exactly the same issues with my new 80G iPOD. I have found that when connecting to my PC, the iPOD does not start iTUNES 7. This can be resolved by stopping the iPOD Service in Computer Management, connecting the iPOD and then starting it again. Then when you start iTUNES it finds the iPOD. - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
Seems like a stupid long-winded way to do things, but at least you can get some stuff on to your iPOD.
As far as using Restore goes - I just get the restoring iPOD message you described, which it blatantly isn't :((

New ipad2 doesn't charge properly!!!

I bought ipad2 for 3 weeks. I try to recharge it but it doesn't charge properly. The signal is always red, so i don't know due to the cable, adapter or ipad2 itself doesn't pass quality check. What should I do?

You should try plugging it into a wall socket rather than a computer to charge it. The USB port on many computers doesn't have enough power to properly charge the iPad, though even these usually do some charging while the iPad is dormant.
If plugging it into the wall doesn't work, you can refer to this document:

HT1420 my ipod doesn't charge on my computer. Help!!

My ipod doesn't charge or come up on itunes on my computer. What can I do?

If it still does not work after restoring to factory settings/new iPod that either indicates a hardware problem with the iPod or that the doc is not compatible with your model iPod and iOS. you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to hear what they have to say.

9320 battery doesn't charge properly

I have a .month and a half old 9320 and the Battery doesn't charge properly and is clearly alto. How do I et a replacement sent out?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Typically, this would be a warranty issue...and your warranty is serviced by whoever you agreed that to be when you purchased your device. Normally, that's the original place of purchase (which might also be your mobile service provider) or an authorized service center -- it varies by region, so check your original purchase documentation for your specific warranty provisions as well as methods of exercising it. Keep in mind that BlackBerry provides no first level support for anything...including warranty...all support starts with other parties, who can escalate to BlackBerry if needed.
Good luck!

TA44551 my gen 4 iPod doesn't charge, the usb cable is good(works on other apple products) What should i do?

my gen 4 iPod doesn't charge, the usb cable is good(works on other apple products) What should i do?

What normally happens is most people take showers and listen to thier ipods or live around many sources of humidity. Moisture corrodes the 30 pin connector on the ipod touch. Clean and inspect the ipod touch's connection pins to resolve most charging/ sync issues.. The pins could also be dirty, bent or broken. If dirty: Take 91% rubbing alcohol, dip a tooth brush into it, shake the excessive alcohol off leaving the brush damp(don't use to much alcohol, it should not be dripping). Careful!!! The Pins are Very Fragile! Gently brush the connector pins, long ways, left to right in a few second bursts, inspecting the pins as you go... If you have an eye loop or magnifying glass you can see inside the connector easily and see if the pins look dirty or bent or broken. If they are bent you have to VERY GENTLY stand them back up. If they are bent very far down, chances are you will snap them off trying to straighten them back up. If they are not severely bent over, use a very small flat head precision screw driver to bend the pin back parallel with the good pins. Pease note: certain pins are used by the wire for different things such as sync or charging... If your pins are broken off, do a search and find out what the individual pins on the ipod 30 pin connector do to see what is affected. Worst case is your pins are broken off. U can attempt to solder the broken pins back on without opening the ipod touch, which is super difficult to do, or you can open the touch and repair/replace to 30 pin connector entirely. U will need to do some micro soldering to say to least! Don't attempt unless you are confident in your soldering skills and research how to open an ipod touch? You will need some specific tools and watch out for floating LINT! Get some canned air ;) use a small 1/2 second bursts from 4-6" away because it will steam up you touch if used for to long. Good luck!

See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

Have you tried another cable?
Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?

IPod doesn't charge through USB 2.0 on PC

Hi all
I have a 30gb iPod video that came new yesterday. However, the battery is quickly running down and the unit won't charge properly. When I first connect the iPod to the USB port the charging flash appears at the battery icon and the iPod seems to continue charging while iTunes starts up. However, after 15 minutes or so, or as soon as iTunes has finished updating the iPod, which ever is sooner, the charging icon stops and the battery doesn't seem to take any more charge.
The iPod was plugged in for about 14 hours over night last night but the battery meter only showed half full this morning and the unit ran out of power after an hour or so of playback. Now whenever I plug it in, it charges for the couple of minutes it takes for iTunes to start and sync up and then stops again so the battery is still almost empty.
Is there anything I can do? Is the iPod battery faulty, or would buying the separate mains charger help?

Thanks, this is exactly the kind of thing I was suspecting and hoping for. However, I don't seem to have that option. I'm running windows 2000 professional and under My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware Device Manager I can select two different USB root hub items which have 'Power' tabs but on that tab there is only information about the amount of power devices on that hub are drawing, there are no options to be changed, nor on the other available tabs.
I'm using a USB port on the back of the computer as those are the only ones installed on the machine. I'm wary of buying the power adapter as, if this is a problem with the battery, I'll be laying out money for nothing.
But thanks for the replies

Ipod doesn't charge except with usb

My 30 gig video only charges through the usb cable via computer. It doesn't charge with older firewire adapter, and I just bought an ez-trip car charger/fm modulator and it doesn't charge either. Any ideas?

Hmmm. I'm able to charge my iPod video or nano using a firewire cable from my Power Mac. The iPod reports that synching is not supported via Firewire but it charges.

My iPod doesn't charge anymore.

My iPod won't charge anymore. I have tried charging via different USB ports on my laptop, as well as connecting it to various power outlets, to no avail. I also tried rebooting it, with the same result. The model number is MC544LL/A, and I have had it for about 2 years now. Any help or suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you!

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- 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.

Screen shows dim 'charged' icon - ipod doesn't sleep properly

I am having the same issue as described in the thread below and see no answer there. I can fully charge my ipod and it plays, etc. fine. When I try to put it to sleep, it goes black for a second and the comes back to dim with the "charged" icon on the display. When I am playing a song, the upper right shows that the Ipod is plugged in even though it is not. If I leave it unplugged overnight, the battery is completely dead. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have you first done a reset? The followed by a Restore if the reset does work?
After that, next thing to check is the dock connector on the bottom of your iPod. Dirt, debris, sweat, etc. on the dock connector pins can cause shorts that will fool the iPod into thinking it is connected and charging. So inspect the bottom connector for damage of bits of things stuck to it. You might also try cleaning the connector gently with a small brush or lint free cloth.

My Ipod doesn't charge :s

Hi everyone!
When I connect my Ipod to my pc it says « charging is not supported with this accessory» so it never charges. What can I do?
Thank you for your answers!

I already reseted all the settings (not the way you wrote it like the way we can select in the settings app) and nothing changed.
I'll try this way! Thank you!
I do not have another cable now (I was hoping there was a solution) but if it still doesn't I will surely get a new one!
I will also change my charging source if it still doesn't working but I was really wondering why it didn't worked! I used the same PC as my charging source since I got my new Ipod in november!
I don't think there's any abnormalities and Itunes sees my Ipod but not EVERY time :s
Thank you for your answer!

Why my ipod doesn't display properly my personal blog?

Why my ipod touch does not display properly my personal blog (satriyonitiatmojo.com), for example this post > Century 21 Broker Properti Jual Beli Sewa Rumah Indonesia. Is it the ipod does not support something script? Or do I have to update the iOS? Thanks

The Century 21 page looks fine n my 4G iPod in Safar with iOS 5. Looks like it does in Safai on my Mac.
