IPod nano 7th gen not charging

I recently got an iPod nano 7th gen 16GB slate. Whenever I plug it into my MBP using the new connector, I get the PLUG in the battery icon instead of the usual lightning. When I finally unplug the iPod after keeping it plugged in for quite a long time, it seems like I didn't charge my iPod at all (all I get in the battery icon is a red line).
Is there something wrong with the battery or the cable??

Whilst charging make sure your iMac doesnt go to sleep and try to make sure itunes is constantly open whilst connected. If this does not work try restarting the device by holding down both the home button and slep button down.
Hope this helps

    My IPod Nano 7th gen arrived last night.  I was able to turn it on and select language 'english'  When I connected it to my computer it did not recognize my iPod, so it also did not show up in iTunes,  Error message: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned.  and Windows does not recognize it." 
    My Nano turned off and went blank.   I have tried to reset it.  Nothing works, just blank.
    No charge icon, I have tried all USB ports on my comp, but nothing works- (but my USB ports work fine)  I have read that if my iPod has not been charged fully, the computer my not recognize it.
    I am now using an adapter and trying to charge it thru the wall power socket.  It has been connected for half an hour.  Still cannot turn iPod on.
    I have Windows 7 running on comp.  Itunes is current version 10.7.  I have rebooted my comp several times and re-installed iTunes.
    I have an iPhone and an iPod shuffle that are both synced with iTunes on this comp, they work fine.
    Is my iPod broken?  Do I send it back?  Anyone else having the same problems?  Please Help !!

    I had this problem as well.  I have a PC running Windows 7. I have installed the latest iTunes 10.7 software (64 bit). I reset the nano by holding down the start and home button for 10 seconds.  Then - I plugged it into a PC running Windows XP and was able to format the iPod. Ejected it and plugged it into my Windows 7 computer and then the computer recognized it and I was able to load it. There is some problem with iTunes 7 on Windows 7.

  • Why does my replacement iPod nano 7th gen not sync?

    I've just got a replacement iPod nano 7th gen after my last one was faulty (suddenly having white screens etc) - exact same model type. I've charged it, and when I put the new replacement iPod in the computer it makes the regular sound to let me know its recognised the iPod. The iPod shows the 'connected - eject before disconnecting' sign so that part of it seems to be working.
    I then go to devices looking to sync the music into my new iPod and then when I do that the 'Sync' button is grey and will not let me progress to sync. This is the problem I am having and I need help.
    Let me know if you need any more information, thank you.

    I am a UK resident btw If that helps.

    My son's ipod nano 7th gen won't turn on and when I connect it to the lap top a message comes up saying device driver not recognised - he was listening to it just last night, can anyone help? He's only had it since his birthday in November.

  • IPod Nano 7th gen not turning on but recognized by iTunes and Windows

    My two-month old 7th gen iPod Nano is not turning on. I've reset and restored it using both Windows (My Computer) and iTunes and have downloaded the and installed the latest version of iTunes. It was working fine and now just will not turn on. It is being recognized by Windows as a removable disc and by iTunes as an iPod that I can sync data onto.
    I've tried the 'hold the power button for 5 seconds' trick to try to manually reset it, as well as other variations with pressing down on the power and menu keys simultaneously. The iPod is new, ordered online and the nearest Apple Store is over 2 hours away from where I live.
    Please help?

    Hello, M.Ram.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that the screen on your iPod nano is black, but is recognized by iTunes.  Take a look at the troubleshooting article below as it may provide some troubleshooting steps that may help.  However, if the issue persists, see the section labeled Issue not resolved.

  • IPod nano 7th gen not found in iTunes/"no disc in drive" Windows computer.

    I bought a brand new iPod nano 7th generation yesterday. When I plugged it into my Windows computer it began set up then stopped and a pop up appeared ''no disc in drive'' directly after that the next pop up read ''iPod cannot sync because it was not found''. My iPod is charging the entire time until that second pop up appears and then my iTunes acts as if the device was unplugged from the computer, it stops charging and at the top of my iTunes screen it says "OK to disconnect". I tried putting my iPod into "disk mode" but the same two pop ups still come up and the same thing happens. And even though iTunes recognizes the iPod as being unplugged even before it is, even after I do unplug it my computer still thinks it's attached, down in my tool bar it's still there waiting to be disconnected. As soon as iTunes begins starting up with my iPod it says there's no disc and then that the iPod can't be found even though it's still plugged in. I can't get any music on it let alone get my computer to recognize it for longer than 30 seconds. I really don't want to return it because my iPhone4 is full and can't fit any more music so I needed this iPod.

    Hello Abbey,
    I would recommend the steps in this article named iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. While the title of the article describes a symptom a bit different from yours, I feel the troubleshooting is still relevant.
    If that does not resolve the issue, then I would suggest this article to help troubleshoot the USB connection.

    And lastly, resetting it just may do the trick.

  • IPod nano 7th gen not recognised in iTunes using Windows 8.1

    I have an older 3rd generation iPod nano and a new 7th gen nano and I would like to sync them to the same iTunes on my Dell laptop (Inspiron 7520) running Win8.1. I have also updated iTunes to the latest version.
    When I connect the new 7th gen iPod nano to my laptop via USB (tried all 4 ports)  I get the following error message from iTunes:
    "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again."
    I've been through most of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218  and still get the error message although I haven't tried connecting the iPad nano 7th gen to an older Win7 laptop yet with a fresh iTunes install.
    When connecting the iPod nano7 Win8.1 recognises E: as an iPod very briefly after I have run a scan via McAfee. After a few seconds the E: drive disappears and iTunes reports the error message as above.  Sometimes, E: doesn't disappear in Win8.1 but I still get the iTunes error message and the iPod nano itself goes from Connected to Main menu.
    Any ideas how I can get iTunes to recognise my 7th gen nano?  I'm not sure if this is a Win8.1 problem or iTunes.

  • IPod Nano 7th gen not syncing, accesoire not recognized

    Hello,
    My iPod Nano 7th generation is not syncing to my Macbook Pro, late 2011 and my iPod says 'Accesoire not recognized', while it's a lightning-cable from Apple itself. Can anyone help?

    Hello, Bram66. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would recommend making sure you are using an Apple branded Lightning to USB cable, the MacBook Pro is connected to power and that you are not using a USB hub or docking station when charging the iPod nano.  If you are still experiencing issues after making the above changes, see the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • Ipod Nano 7th Gen only charges when connected

    So my friend had her Ipod Nano 7th generation laying around. She bought it from someone else. They both could not figure out how to use it so they kept selling it off cheap. I ended up getting it for a good price only  to come home, plug it into my computer, and all it does is charge it. My computer doesn't even recognize a device is plugged into it. I've downloaded, reinstalled, and made sure Itunes was updated but that's not the problem. The computer alone doesn't even seem to know its there.
    The last time I had an ipod like this, I remember just having to right click on it in my devices and then go to Itunes and it was there. But with it being connected to my computer right now, full battery... It is like its invisible.
    What I have all tried is below
    Making sure Itunes is updated
    Restarted Computer
    Connected and reconnected Ipod Nano
    Held Center Button and Power button to reset it
    Did the same thing to try and put it into disk mode
    Reconnected the ipod to every possible USB port on my computer (3 different spots)
    I feel like there was something missing when she dropped this off. When she delivered it, it came with the sync/charge cable, the ipod, and the arm band. Please help.

    I believe you may have discovered why multiple people "kept selling it off cheap".
    Unfortunately, it seems like the "good price" you got it for was a bit too high... Drop it in the recycle bin at your local electronics store the next time you're there.
