IPod nano (7th generation) doesn't charge while my 2nd generation nano does

I have a Pioneer car stereo in my car that has an iPod adapter. This unit is more than a few years old. It syncs and charges my 2nd generation nano, but it does not charge my new 7th generation nano (I have an Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter). It also doesn't charge my 3rd generation iPod touch. Does anybody have an idea short of getting one of those FM adapters?

Your car is set up to charge via the Firewire pin which Apple ceased supporting a few years ago. You can try this adapter: http://www.abt.com/product/61936/Scosche-IFWA.html?utm_source=scfroogle&utm_medi um=sc&utm_campaign=IFWA but there is no guarantee it will work.

  • T450 doesn't charge while on

    The computer does NOT charge the batteries while the computer is on. It DOES however charge (blinking red dot and power button) while the computer is off / asleep any thoughts? I pulled the battery (and turned the built-in off) over night and still same behaviour.  

    just verified with a 65W adapter and system still doesn't charge while on ....

  • Ipod nano 7th gen won't charge or sync to itunes.

    I recently purchased an Ipod Nano 7th generation. When I plug it in to charge or try to sync it to my computer I get an error message saying that the accessory is unsupported. I am running Itunes in Windows Vista. I have synced this Ipod and charged it before so I am unsure of the problem. I have tried multiple cables, and other things work in the usb charge on the same computer. I have reinstalled Itunes and reset my Ipod and nothing has worked. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • Ipod nano 4th Gen. doesn't charge on AUDI A3 2009 standar car interface

    Hi,
    I'm quite dissappointed with both, my ipod and Audi's interface... i don't know whom to blame, but more likely i think that this might be a firmware issue of my ipod.
    The ipod connects just fine to the car but it won't charge while playing... Can some one guide me on the reasons of this, is Audi's fault? (the manual of audi says that ipod will begin to charge inmediatly after connected)... without charging the whole purpose why i bought the ipod is meaneng less?
    I'm also interested in a workaround in order to charge ipod in the car, but maybe the charging adapters won't work either..
    thanks for the help

    Hi,
    I have the same issue but with 2009 Mercedes AND my new iPod Nano does not charge either when I put it in the Bose speaker system at my house. Had no issues with my older iPod Nano (worked in the car and with the Bose). This is very frustrating because like the first writer commented; the whole reason for having an IPod in your car is lost if it does not charge. So is my only option really to buy separate additional chargers for my car and the home Bose system? Nice... would have kept my old iPod if I would have known this
    Thank you so much if someone can help!!

  • Ipod Touch doesn't charge while on, but charges while off?!

    Hi,
    I have an Ipod Touch 3rd Gen that I got shortly before xmas last year.
    The problem is that since the weekend it doesn't charge. I'm using a charger and my wife's ipod charges fine with it, so that rules out the charger.
    My problem is rather peculiar, the Ipod doesn't charge when it is on. But when the battery is low and it powers down, then it starts to charge. The moment it has enough charge the Ipod powers up again (when the black screen with the nearly empty red battery and the thunder sign disappears and you can now slide and use the ipod) at this time the ipod STOPS charging.
    I have tried up to restarting and no luck. I'm unconfortable going to for SW upgrade if the device is on such a critical power level. Any suggestions?
    It is running OS 3 (can't tell exactly which version, I did update the last time around xmas).

    An update on this: Tried plugging to the PC and it behaves the same way, what's worse is that it wasn't recognised. The PC detects an USB device but it can't work out its an Ipod.
    Tried with the wifes (same model and SW) and it works fine with the PC. My guess is a faulty USB interface.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen won't charge while on, but charges while dead.

    While its dead I plug in my ipod and it will show the charging screen for about 5-8 seconds then powers up. When it powers up it does not recognize that it is charging. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the charger as it works on other ipods. Theres nothing abnormal about the ipods charging dock either. I have tried forcing restarts (holding the home and power button at the same time). Ive tried resetting the ipods settings. The only thing I can think of is a full factory reset but I would like to avoid the trouble if I can.Has anyone found a fix for this yet? If anyone also has answers as to why this is happening I would like to know as well.
    NOTE. I don't have money to take it in to apple or any other place so that is not an option

  • What's the mA Charging Requirement for 2nd Generation? What is the maximum?

    It appears that the minimum charging requirement for the 2nd generation is 500ma and the optimum is 1000ma (1A). Can anyone confirm that for me? I can't find any specifications anywhere.
    Also, will using a high power USB charger cause any harm to the Touch's charging circuit? I can pick up a USB charger (which is part of an international power adapter kit) that has a rating of 2.5A.
    It would be a great way to charge the Touch assuming that it doesn't cause any damage, and the only reason I'm considering it is that it's 70% off at the Circuit City clearance. (R.I.P. CC)
    Thanks.

    The spec for USB 2.0 high power is a minimum of 500mA.
    Also, will using a high power USB charger cause any harm to the Touch's charging circuit?
    No.
    Electronic devices will only take what current they need.
    As an example, the outlets in your house are 15 Amps but none of your electronics draw anywhere near that amount.

  • New iMac doesn't play nice with 2nd gen nano-- help!

    I have a brand-new iMac just bought a few weeks ago (running 10.5.6 and iTunes version 8), and I'm having a problem getting it to talk to my 2nd generation nano. When I connect the nano, I get this message:
    "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again. If the problem persists, reinstall the iPod support software from the Optional Installs on the Mac OS X install disc."
    The iPod still works fine with my Macbook Pro (using the same cable), and the firmware is up to date. It is also recognized in disk mode by the iMac.
    Some of the things I've tried already:
    -Reinstalling the iPod support software as instructed.
    -The 5 r's
    -Unplugging other USB devices (the only other USB device was a keyboard anyway).
    -restarting the computer with the iPod plugged in.
    -Unplugging from the internet.
    -Uninstalling iTunes, installing an old version (7.6) and using that.
    Has anyone else had this problem with the new iMac? Does anyone have any ideas????
    Thanks,
    A.

    Well...I went out and got myself a third generation nano (as I lost my old one anyway). Same problem. This is really frustrating; does anyone have an answer?

  • 2nd generation ipod shuffle not recognized by usb 3.0 port, 2nd generation ipod shuffle not recognized by usb 3.0 port

    Hi,
    My 2nd generation ipod shuffle will not connect to any usb 3.0 port.  I've tried on to computers -- one Windows XP and the other Windows 7.  Any ideas?

    Hi
    I had the same issue with my Late 2009 Mac mini running Mavericks and iTunes 12. When I connected my 2nd generation iPod shuffle it would blink amber once then do nothing. This seems to be a common problem with the iPod shuffle and newer versions of Mac OS X (10.6 and up) and iTunes albeit with somewhat varying symptoms but the same overall problem syncing the iPod with iTunes.
    The predominant go-to solution is to give the iPod more power by either connecting the iPod directly to a USB port on the Mac or by disconnecting all other USB devices. On paper this makes sense.
    What worked for me, however, was the opposite. After trying to solve this problem for hours (weeks, months), I had success ONLY after adding a low-powered 4-port USB hub to the chain between the iPod and the Mac. I suspect this had the effect of throttling the power supplied to the iPod from the Mac. I was able to perform a restore on the iPod then sync my music over.
    I can't tell you much about the USB hub except that it is running at USB 1.1 speeds (12 Mb/sec). In theory a USB 1.1 extension cable should also do the trick. You might even be able to use the USB hub in old wired Apple USB keyboard. I will attach a photo of the hub I used to this post for greater clarity.
    I really hope this helps.

  • IPod nano 7th gen won't charge.

    I bought it in July, everything has worked well. Yesterday the battery had run out, and now it won't read the charger - and I have tried multiple chargers. I have also tried resetting while plugged in, and that did not help either. Any ideas?

    You are still under warranty.  Call iPod tech support - U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) 

  • Ipod nano 7th gen will not charge

    ive had my ipod for a while now, but now it wont charge. Iveleft it plugged into the wall overnight, but it still wont turn on. I tried the computerbefore it died, but allit said was plug into power. A few weeks ago the computer stopped recognizing it, but I already fixed it.

    Bring it to a local Apple store. If it is a battery issue, they should replace it under the one year warranty.

  • IPod acknowledged by PC but only charges while checking for updates

    This may very well be a newbie question, but I have not been able to find any help online. I plug in my ipod to charge, and everything acts normal - if itunes is open, it checks for new songs and updates it, etc, while charging. The only problem is that it does not continue to charge after it checks for updates. As soon as it says it is ok to eject in itunes, the ipod reverts back to normal and after a while just shuts itself off.
    I have tried plugging it in the computer while itunes is closed as well, and it does something very similar. It didn't always used to be this way - Sometimes I would need to fiddle with it, but I could get it to charge.
    Any help is appreciated =)

  • My iPod touch 64 GB doesn't charge or show up on iTunes, because the charger overheated it. How can I fix this problem? I tried restoring too and putting it into DFU mode but it doesn't work.

    Thanks.

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
