  • Okay so my Ipod Touch is connected to my computer which has charged my ipod before. Now when i plug it in, my ipod doesnt charge unless i move the charger around. Should I get a new charger, or what?

    Okay so my Ipod Touch is connected to my computer which has charged my ipod before. Now when i plug it in, my ipod doesnt charge unless i move the charger around. Should I get a new charger, or what?

    I could be the cable or it could be that the connecor in the iPod is damaged.  If the iPod is the problem replacing the cable will not help.  Look at the dock connector on the iPod and the contacts on the cable.

    Hello, waynemclno1.
    Thank you for the question.  Try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot your iPod touch not being recognized in iTunes.  I would recommend seeing the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.

  • I replaced my lcd screen after my ipod doesnt turn on

    my Lcd screen was damaged so i replaced it with new lcd screen after that my ipod doesnt turn on?

    Send it back to the repairer, most likely the connections are not properly re-install, we cant solve hardware problems here.

  • Recently formated, now ipod wont connect!

    I recently formated my pc and now when im trying to connect my ipod to itunes, It doesnt connect no mather how long i let it plugged. When i plug it, my computer does say new software found (Ipod) but it just wont connect to itunes so i can put new songs to replace old ones.
    When i try to formate to factory settings or updates, says its not contected evan though it is.
    I tried to connect it with the usb wire that came with it and with my firewire that came with my Ipower.
    It worked very well before I reformated my pc, is there anything i can do?

    I didnt until this morning, what I did last night is I left my coputer opened. Now im guessing it fully charged my ipod to the max (says soemwhere something like takes 13 hours to charge it to the max) And this morning i check on itunes and I saw my ipod on my itune.
    I dont know if it will work with you, i know many have the same issue and it could ne worth trying.

  • "Unknown Device" appears when ipod is "connected"

    So I just bought an ipod yesterday. I took it out of the box and i followed the instructions and hooked it into my usb port on my computer not keyboard. The ipod did not connect and my computer did not even register that anything is hooked in that port. I'm finally able to get it to register about once every 20 times, and when it does it says unknown device and that there are no drivers for it. A message also appears saying a device has malfunctioned and cannot be recognized. The ipod is not charged as it doesnt connect to my pc so i cant even turn it on to follow the 5 r's. What should i do?

    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to update automatically. If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage music and videos" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing content manually on iPod
    One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
