Ipod Nano not receiving power charge or able to connect to Itunes?

It will not receive a charge or when I hold the sleep and volume decrease button (for reset), ITunes knows it is there but cannot connect with the server. Any help is appreciated!

Ipod nano not recognized by itunes and won't charge

Ipod nano is about 3 months old, worked fine before with itunes, but now ipod doesn't start itunes, doesn't show up in finder, and doesn't charge.
I have switched usb ports, reset the ipod, downloaded itunes 6. I downloaded ipod update, but computer doesn't recognize ipod so it isn't updated. I tried "restore", but again not recognized. I tried Isync but it can't find ipod.
Do I need a new cable that attaches ipod to computer?

Hello,
The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
<a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
Have you checked this link out?:
<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
If not...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!

Ipod Nano not recognized by computer (or itunes) but charging.. so connected

worked until this am (though I think I had this once before, a couple years ago, too often follows itunes updates)
connected to computer (win 7) this morning and it is not recognized by computer (or itunes)
can't find it looking in Explorer
but, it is charging so... it is connected
have tried everything except re-installing itunes... if the computer is not seeing it, and it shows the connection when itunes isn't open...
would that make any difference?

New iPod nano not charging

My brand new iPod is not taking a charge. I have run down the initial charge it came with about half way. When I connect it to the computer, or to a car charger, or to a wall outlet with adapter, the charging icon appears. However, even after several hours, the battery icon shows only 1/2 full. I have reset it several times. Is there more I can do, or do I need to send it in for repair?

After disconnecting the iPod from a power source, does the battery indicator return to a full charge after a few minutes?
It's not very accurate and sometimes takes a while.

Try restarting your device. If that doesn't work, take it to an Apple store. If it is less than a year old and just stopped working, they will replace it for free (be sure to back it up to iTunes first). If you dropped it, you will have to pay because Apple will not replace a device due to "Human Error." If it is more than a year old, you will either have to pay to get it fixed, or have to pay to get it replaced.

Why is my 8 month old Ipod Nano not charging/synching?

My Ipod Nano is no longer charging with the USB cable in either my laptop or my apple charger. It started to sporadically charge/synch and is now not doing it at all. Everything else works with USB drive on the laptop and I have no problems charging my Ipad on the apple charger so the issue must be with the Ipod itself. I use my ipod every day for running. Is there anything I can do or am I going to have to trash an 8 month old Ipad? I've tried resetting the Ipad and that makes no difference.

Check the dock connector on the Nano and clean any dirt/debris/dust bunnies you might find. Clean it with a soft brush. While you are doing this get a magnifying glass and look at the pins. If you see rust/corrosion then sweat has damaged the connector.

TA44551 Apple ipod nano 6th generation wont charge on pC, mains or car.

My ipod nano 6th generation wont charge, either through mains, car or computer USB charger. Had it one month, bought it from Amazon. Just dead, wont wake up. When it had charge tried master reset etc. still not able to charge or recognised/charge on PC

It'll need to charge for a while before it will turn on. Leave it to charge for a couple of hours, then try again.

Ipod nano not synching with itunes: HELP!!

I just purchased an ipod nano and tried to synch with the latest version of itunes. I'm unable to synch and get an error -53. Does anyone know of this error? I tried calling support and was on the phone for over 3 hours and was unable to receive any help from them.

The error messeges that I get when trying to update my ipod to 1.1.3 from 1.1.2 is 1417. The error when I try to synch or restore is -53. Does anyone know what they mean? I just purchased an Intek21 high speed USB card. I also get an error on the diagnostic regarding no IEEE 1394 host controller. I'm not using a firewire though, it's a USB connection.

IPod Nano won't hold charge, play or sync

Hi all,
been having issues with my 6th gen iPod Nano recently.
When charging, it will hold charge for a small amount of time but no more than an hour even after being left overnight.
When clicking on the radio app it doesn't recognise headphones are plugged in.
When trying to play a song, it says it is playing but there is no sound and the scrubbing bar remains at 0 seconds. If you scrub to later in the track it says it is playing but does not advance.
When connecting to a computer it freezes and rarely pops up in iTunes.
I have tried restoring it, charging from full and accessing the menu by pressing the volume + & - buttons, but now all this does is bring up a white screen which says 'ok to disconnect'.
I'm out of ideas, but would love to hear anyone elses suggestions.
Thanks,
Matt

It depends on how you are using the Nano. Otherwise, no. If you feel as though this is an issue, schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and explain the situation to them.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

Ipod nano not connecting to itunes or updater

I just bought my new ipod nano a few days ago. Ever since I got it, it has not been able to connect to itunes and gets a "ipod service error" in the updater. However, it is recognized im my computer as a removable disk. I have tried all of the apple support suggestions, tried formatting it, reinstalling, amongst many other things.
I realize my problem now is that the ipodservice.exe is not running at all in processes in windows task manager. I looked in the bin folder of the ipod in program files, and it is there so it doesn't make sense that it doesn't run.
If anyone has any suggestions as to why this exe file is not running please help me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. When I first got my ipod out of the box I plugged it into the computer and put files on it, rather than installing the software first (how stupid of me). I wonder if this is the cause of it not working now.

It's woorking!
Ok, after some 40 hours trying to figure out what was wrong in my case, I think I might have found the problem. The newest ipod software (I think) requires USB 2.0. I have a Dell Dimension 2400 Desktop running Windows XP Pro SP2. There are several USB ports: 2 in the front and 4 in the back. One of the first things I did was go to the device manager and check whether I had USB 2.0. Indeed, there was a USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller. All the problems I encountered were the same whether I used the two ports on the front or the two lower ports on the back. I went to the store for the second time ready to turn in my ipod nano and try to get my money back, but they told me that my computer didn't have a USB 2.0 port and that was the reason I was having trouble. They made me buy a USB 2.0 PCI card and sent me home. Before I proceeded to install the card, I carefully revised my ports. That's when I realized I had a printer connected to another USB port, ánd because of that I didn't notice I had two extra USB ports that carried that funny symbol you will find on the USB ipod connector. I hadn't tried the ipod on the port the printer was connected to, neither on the one next to it. I hooked my ipod to the ipod-virgin port and it worked! Finally! itunes recognized my ipod and I was able to upload songs and all. I didn't realize that even if you have one or two 2.0 USB ports, the others aren't necessarily 2.0 (on the device manager there were other host controllers that were not "Enhanced"). I guess this is what happened. I can't come up with any other explanation.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.
