IPod fifth gen. not charging neither connecting to computer

Hi, I have an iPod 5th generation 30gb and it isn't recognized by my computer.
It isn't charged.
iPod 5th gen. 30gb black   Windows XP  

I am having the exact same problem. I have a dell Latitude D510 running XP pro. Please help. My daughter will be traveling to perform in the Rose Bowl Parade this year and it has become at must fix! All I have is a blank screen (dark) as though it is off. I just replaced the battery, thinking that was the problem. That did not change anything.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod 5th gen not charging

    Hello guys. Today I connected my iPod 5th gen to the charger and I noticed it wasn't charging. This started today. Someone please help me. I appreciate every tip and help I recieve.

    Hey Suhey, first inspect the charging port, your looking for foreign debris, lint, dirt etc. anything that could be blocking an electrical connection, if you see something try to carefully remove it. Just be careful not to touch or bend or damage the pins. If you must use a wooden toothpick to remove any foreign debris from the port and inspect the port for visible damage, cracks, missing pieces, etc. If not the issue, then try a different cable. The lighting cables have a history of breaking, shorting out. They will look just fine, but not work. If not the issue with the new cable try a different charging device. If still not working, attempt a reset, press and hold both the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds +/-, then release both buttons.  If you can still turn on your iPod go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still not charging connect to your computer and make backups of the stuff you have on your iPod then Restore from Backup last resort, Restore to New. If that doesn't work try letting your iPod drain completely, go dead then attempt to charge. If still not working, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

  • My ipod touch will not charge or connect via usb

    When i plug in my ipod touch, it only recognizes that it is plugged in for a few seconds at a time. Therefore, it will not charge, and this occurs no matter what cable i use with it, whether i plug it into my computer, or into the wall with an adapter. I also cannot use itunes with it because of this. I have already looked through the forums for other people having the same problem, but most of them just got useless answers such as checking the troubleshooting guide. I would prefer a "REAL" answer to this. To be completely honest, all that the troubleshooting guide tells you is how to do an idiot-check on yourself. I have only had the ipod for a few months, two at the most, so a depleted number of recharges in the battery is highly unlikely, especially since the computer also will not recognize it. An error message comes up saying that it does not recognize the device. Thanks for any help!

    I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
    I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.

  • Old Ipod 3rd Gen not charging in usb

    hi,
    i have a 3rd gen ipod, wich was sold with firewire cable, i've tried to charge it with an usb cable, but it didn't charged...was it my fault or is it a normal situation?
    thanx

    The iPod video does charge over Firewire--however, it will NOT sync with the Firewire cable. A USB connecion must be used to add songs or videos to the iPod.

  • IPod shuffle will not charge when connected to other computers.

    A girl I work with had me load her shuffle on my computer. I set it up and synced with my itunes and everything worked well. Then the battery ran out and she tried to connect it to a computer at work and it said that it was already synced with an itunes library. She left it plugged for a few hours anyway and when she unplugged it there was no charge in it. Both computers are iMacs and it was plugged into a usb on the back of the computer. Thanks dudes.

    In Settings in iTunes (while shuffle is plugged in) UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached) and click apply... This will allow charging w/o iTunes involvement.

  • IPod 1st Gen Not Recognised or Connecting to anything.

    The story so far...
    I have a 1st Generation iPod Shuffle 512Mb which was bought 2 years ago in an Apple store in Japan. It has been treated well over the years and is used once or twice a week. There have been no issues with it until my current issue this week.
    I decided to give my iPod to a relative and over the weekend plugged in the iPod to the PC (Windows XP - Latest Version) that was to receive the player. The shuffle was recognised and I was challenged by iTunes (Latest Version) that the player was associated with another installation of iTunes. Did I want to transfer to this version of iTunes or did I want to ignore the iPod. I chose to transfer and this is where things came off the rails! The iTunes application closed down in an uncontrolled manner and after a reboot of the machine was in capable of recognising the shuffle.
    I have followed the 5 R's to the letter.
    I have tried to restore from iTunes on Windows XP
    I have tried to restore from iTunes on Mac OS
    I have downloaded and run the Reset Utilities provided on the Apple website.
    I have reset from Windows XP (on two different machines)
    I have reset from Windows XP (having uninstalled iTunes)
    I have reset from Mac OS 10.4.9 - iBook G4
    I have reset from Mac OS 10.4.9 - Powerbook G4
    The utilities see the shuffle and recognise that it is in Restore mode. However the reset fails with a Error Retrieving Information from your iPod message.
    I have read the discussion threads where the advice is to format the iPod however in my case the although I get a mapped drive with a letter (e.g. E:) when I try to access it I get a pop up window asking me to insert a disk..
    I am currently reseting from Windows 2K on a machine that has never had iTunes installed onto it. It has recognised the device.. and is attempting to install the drivers... but I have a sneaking suspicion that it has stalled midway through-- I decided to let the install process keep running while I'm at work just to make sure that it just isn't taking it's own time.
    Has anyone---
    1. Got the same issue?
    2. Got any resolutions that don't involve going to the Apple store and buying a new one?
    (Sorry for the length of the posting but I have done quite a lot of stuff and I need to give you the whole picture).

    There is no conflict either. On one of the machines there were no other installed devices.. and on all other machines the interaction with USB seems fine on both Mac and Windows platforms.
    I have even followed the instructions to re-register the iTunes .dll files with the apple provided bat file. All to no avail.
    What is interesting is that the device is not identified during the restore process with the name that appears on the apple website but instead it is identified as a recovery device player class device.
    I tried the remapping of the driver letter. Bascially the change of letter works fine but there is no storage associated with the letter. So the device is mounted but there is no capacity.

  • IPod 2nd Gen. not showing up on my computer or iTunes (using Windows XP)

    I bought my iPod about 6 months ago and until lately it has been working fine. But the other day when I placed it on the docking station noting happened. I tired using the 5R's of reset, but nothing. It's not showing up on iTunes or on my computer at all. It doesn't do anything when I plug it into my laptop at all...no lights or anything. When I turn it on, the light is green and the songs that are on it play fine, but I can't charge it or add anymore songs to it. This is driving me crazy. Please help!

  • Battery not charging while connected to computer.

    I just bought the iPhone and when the battery is very low, it won't charge on my computer and it won't even open up iTunes automatically when I connect it. The batter icon doesn't show as well. It does charge when I connect it to the wall outlet and it will charge on my computer if it is about 1/3 or more full. I connect it to my computer and wait to see if anything happens, but it doesn't. I tried turning it off, and resetting it, but still nothing.

    I've been having a similar issue for several months now. There are several other threads here dealing with this topic and I've tried all the solutions suggested. All work some of the time. None work all the time. These include:
    • changing charging device (ie, using wall charger instead of USB port, or vice versa)
    • power cycling the phone
    • doing a reset on the phone
    The issue is intermittent and occurs regardless of the charging device in use, and does not appear to be an overheating issue, as it can happen even if the phone has been out of use for a while.
    Apple has twice replaced my phone (thank God for AppleCare), but the problem has persisted. Right now, the only thing the Apple technicians can suggest is that I wait for tomorrow's OS upgrade and keep my fingers crossed.
    Given that (for me, at least) the issue dates back to the approximate time of the last OS upgrade (to 3.1.3), I'm sure hoping that will take care of it.
    Tonight for example, I spent two hours on the phone, while it was plugged into the computer. The phone was draining the whole time (as I discovered when the call was over). It then took me 20 minutes of fiddling with the various "fixes" to get it charging again. I'm pretty tired of this.

  • HT1719 my ipod shuffle 4th generation will not charge or connect to the computer, I updated iTunes and I got a new charger.

    My iPod Shuffle will not charge or connect to the computer. I updated iTunes and bought a new charger. Any ideas? Thanks

    My question was, when you connect the shuffle to USB, does the light come ON?  From the way you answered, I'm not sure if you are answering that question, or saying that the light does not come ON when you move the power switch on the shuffle to the ON position.
    Also, what happens when you connect the shuffle to your computer by itself, with nothing else connected to USB?
    If you get no response (no light) from the shuffle when you connect it to USB by itself, trying both the original USB cable and a new one that is compatible with the 4th gen shuffle, try connecting something else to the USB port to confirm it is working properly.  It would be best to test the USB port with something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.  If you can confirm the USB port works properly, it is likely that the cause for this problem is on the shuffle, such as a faulty headphones jack or bad logic board.
    If the shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.

  • IPod Touch 4G will not turn on, charge or connect to computer.

    I purchased my iPod Touch 4G in October 2010 in America. Last week, while my iPod Touch was connected to my laptop with the USB cable, I pressed the home button with no response. I have tried all forms of reset that I could find on the Apple website with little luck. The iPod Touch will not turn on, connect to the laptop, charge or show up in iTunes. I have tried on several occassions with numerous different methods to charge the iPod Touch but to no avail. There is no response to anything I do when trying to rectify the problem. I believe that my warranty is no longer intact as it has been over a year since the purchase, and I will not be returning to America again until the end of this year. I also updated the iPod Touch to the latest iOS version available before it ceased working.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes, I have tried pressing the power button and home botton together and nothing happened.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Also:
    - See:

    - 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.

  • 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.
