IPod Nano not recharging via USB connector.

I just got a 4 GB 2nd Gen Nano, and it's working like a charm thusfar, except for one problem.
When I plug it into its USB connector, it will sync with my music library just fine, but won't recharge. I have a seperate, 3rd party charger for my car which works just fine, but I'd rather not leave my iPod in my car just to charge it up.
I'm running Windows 2000 on an older model system.

I have the same problem, and followed the steps in"iPod: Proper charging procedures for Windows 2000", but my nano will still not charge.
I bought a nano a month ago and ran into this problem. It used to recharge just fine via PC and USB cable, or AC adapter. But for some reason, after a month, it just stopped. So, I excharned it today for a new one. Unfortunately, I'm having the same problem with the new one. It on'y charges when it is syncing with iTunes. As soon as it's done automatically syncing, it stops recharging.
Any ideas?

  • IPOD WILL NOT WORK VIA USB WITH MY HOME TEATHRE

    When I plug my iPod to my stereo via USB that came with iPod, stereo says no USB device connected and then after few seconds, it starts playing, although, iPod displays same screen as when synching with the Do Not Disconnect logo and cannot stop it from playing and when I disconnect it, I can't turn it off. This also happens occasionally, that I cannot turn it off.
    Any help would be appreciate it.

    When was the manual written? What constituted "all iPods" one year would not necessarily apply to iPods made later.
    Throw away my iPod and get a new one?
    I don't believe I suggested anything like that.
    You might get better answers if you included the exact make and model of the home theatre system. You should also search the forums using the "Search Discussions" box to see if there are any other threads about your particular brand of home theatre. Also, did you ever check the support site or contact customer support for the home theatre and car stereo?
    Best of luck.

  • IPod nano not recognized by new computer with same version of iTunes

    iPod nano not recognized by iTunes on new computer. Same iTune versions.  Going from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1.

    Have a look at these 2 articles.

    USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.

  • IPod Nano using the new Camera Connector

    I resently purchased an iPod Nano and a new Camera Connector direct from Apple. Before I did this I checked the compatability issue with both the camera and the camera connector, and with the Nano and the camera connector. All the adds at the Apple store state that the camera connector works with all ipods that have a color screen. When I connect them the screen on the ipod states "The currently attached accessory is not supported by this iPod". They advertise that you can store 25,000 photos in a Nano. Did I waste my money on a Nano and camera connector. (I already had a 4G 20GB iPod with an older Belkin Camera connector)

    Yes, you may have wasted your money on the camera connector. The problem is that the camera connector has been out for a while and, at the time it was made, the only color iPods were full sized ones, and the camera worked with them. So, what they advertised was true up to the time until the Nano was released.
    Now, Apple has released the Nano, which technically is a color iPod, and it dosen't work with the camera connector. The problem is that they haven't changed the advertising for other products to account for limitations of the Nano yet.

  • 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 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.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

    you can do is go to ijailbreak.com then select downloads section.......scroll down and see the latest version of ipod touch second generation is available for download.....when it gets downloaded connect your iPod to itunes or keep it connected then hold option and click restore (mac) search the software by writing in search "iPod" a thing with white cube will show up if it is the file you just downloaded click it and wait for itunes to do its work......you can ask more if you are on windows

  • When Using iOs 7.1.2 OSX 10.9.4 notes are not syncing via USB. When will this be fixed. Not interested in iCloud or IMAP solution.

    When Using iOs 7.1.2 with mac OSX 10.9.4 mavericks notes are not syncing via USB.
    When will this be fixed ? Not interested in iCloud or IMAP solution. it worked before,  I can't really
    understand why apple would change one of my favorite features. I use the notes feature to
    capture  quick ideas on the road and having it synched on my computer and my phone was very useful.
    Previous blog posts elsewhere indicated this would be fixed in the latest rev of iOS, OSX and iTunes.
    But alas after the recent update it's not. Really Annoying.

    Then you won't be syncing your notes anymore.
    Contacts and Calendars are the only things they restored.

    It'll guide you through troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue and get your computer to recognize the iPod nano again.

  • I have an iPod Nano with just the USB charger. Is it safe to plug this into a Kindle power adaptor to charge from the mains or will I need to buy the Apple one?

    Hi,
    Try resetting your iPod:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430. 
    If that doesn't work, try restoring it:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414. 
    If all else fails, you will have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. 
    Hope this helps!

  • HT1476 Can i use wall power charger 5v 1A to charge Ipod touch5 or only via usb?

    Can i use wall power charger 5v 1A to charge Ipod touch5 or only via usb?

    5volt 1amp charger is standard for charging the iPod (5watts). Using a USB port can take longer because the charging current can be somewhat less than 1amp. So you are better off using the wall charger.
