HT1435 my 3rd generation iPod nano won't charge

My 3rd generation iPod nano won't charge and when i connect it, it shows up charging then the screen goes black and wont work. Can i get it replaced for a new one? or a different one? What can i do?

Try these steps listed below.
1. Run “c:\WINDOWS\system32\devmgmt.msc” (i.e. *Device Manager*), and leave it open for now for later use
2. Start up iTunes
3. Next, connect your iPod.
4. Go to your iPod Settings and select the “Enable disk use” option from under theSummary tab.
5. A dialog box will pop up reminding you that you’ll need to manually eject. Go ahead and hit OK
6. Hit Apply to save changes to the iPod
7. Quickly switch to the Device Manager window and right-click on any item within the window and select “Scan for hardware changes”
8. Finally, switch back to iTunes, and try re-syncing your iPod to see if it helped.
It might not also hurt to trash your iPod's Photo cache if it has one (i.e. you sync photos to the iPod). See this article for information on where to find this folder on your Windows XP machine.

TA44551 My iPod nano won't charge.

My iPod nano won't charge. It's only 2 months old. I've tried using two different computers (direct connect - no USB hub, Windows 7) as well as a wall plug. Checked the nano port for dirt. Don't have a second cord.

Two possibilities that i can think of:
One- Your charger isn't working try getting a new one.
or
Two- Your iPod needs a new battery. Take it into the apple store to have it fixed or replaced.

Ipod nano won't charge more than 20% or so

my 6 mos old nano won't charge more than 20% or so - jsut started this weekend when i ran a half marathon and it ran out of juice before i could get it charged. only time it's ran out of juice.
plug it in to everything i have, and can only get 20% charge. i wear it on an armband, and it's hot - could that be it? Or is the battery just worn out?
Went through all the stuff i could find online to try...apple site and others.
i'm kind of addicted to running with my nano - please help...

Please describe _*in detail*_ all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.
Have you called iPod technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273), considered taking the iPod to an Apple Store or an AASP?

IPod Nano won't charge with USB 2.0

I've had an iPod Nano for a few weeks now. When I first got it, I was able to charge it up over USB 2.0 with no problem. Now, the computer recognizes the iPod, and the iPod says it's charging, but it doesn't actually charge.
I can still charge it using the firewire power adaptor from my 20gig iPod. It seems like this only started happening after I started charging via the firewire adapter. Could the firewire adapter be causing problems?

I had to install a USB 2.0 PCI card in my G4 tower to use the nano. Shouldn't this provide enough power? I also tried hooking it up to a USB 2.0 hub with an external power supply, so that should provide enough power too, shouldn't it?

Ipod Nano won't charge or show in itunes

I bought a used nano, either 1st or 2nd generation, not sure. The usb charger that I use for iphone and ipod classic seems to work; it provides power to the nano. But the nano will not charge (batter dead?) and it does not show in itunes. I've gone through all the trouble-shooting steps, including putting it into disk mode, but it still will not show in itunes. Is it just dead or is there something I can do? I paid 50 cents at a garage sale so can't go too far wrong but it would be nice if I could get it to work. Thanks!

Also, make sure you are connecting it to a powered USB port. You may want to try a USB port on the back of your computer.

IPod Nano won't charge on Mac Pro

Strange problem this. I have the following machines:
iMac 10.5.8 (late 2006); iTunes 9.0.1
iMac 10.6.2 (late 2009); iTunes 9.0.2
Mac Pro 10.5.8 (2006); iTunes 9.0.2
My Mac Pro has my itunes library on it.
I have a 1st gen Nano and 2 2nd gen Nanos which sync and charge fine with the Mac Pro. I also have 1st gen Touch and an iPhone, both of which will sync and charge with the Mac Pro.
Just got 2 new toys in the family: a 5th gen Nano and a 3rd gen Touch. Neither will sync or charge with the Mac Pro. However both will sync and charge fine with either of the iMacs.
I have tried all 5 USB ports on the Mac Pro, they are all USB 2.0 so should be ok, and I have tried 3 different sync cables. The best I managed was once the 5th gen nano started charging, connected then 10 secs later disconnected again.
Does anyone know if the latest ipods work with the 2006 Mac Pro? If so, any ideas what could cause this?

An update....it looks as though none of my iPods work will sync with the Mac Pro anymore, which changes the nature of the problem completely. I did a sync to my 1st gen Nano yesterday so I know it was working then. Since yesterday the only change I can think of is trying to sync the new iPods to the Pro.
Each time I plug an iPod into the Pro I get the following errors on the Console:
Dec 25 13:11:36 Macintosh kernel[0]: USBF: 289.304 [0x8663a00] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 1 of hub @ location: 0xfd000000)
Dec 25 13:11:43 Macintosh kernel[0]: USBF: 296.538 [0x8663a00] The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.
I'm going to try reinstalling iTunes. Anyone seen this before?

Ipod nano won't charge

Hello there! I recently bought an Ipod and my problem is that when I connect it to my Pc it does not see to charge the battery! It is in the USB port and it updates and everything but the battery charge indicator never comes on! Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

Hello Nmac83,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you're connected to a hub, it may not work. Are you connected directly to the computer?
Have a look at this article:

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 won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
"Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
So you can rule that out.

TS1425 ipod nano won't synch, i plugged it in to computer after not synching for a long time and it wouldn't install a new driver and now itunes doesn't even recognize it when i plug it in

ipod nano won't synch, i haven't purchased anything in a long time and haven't synched with the computer just charged on car charger. when i plugged the nano in it tried to install a driver and that failed and now the computer and itunes won't even recognize that the nano is plugged in.

REPOST (this solved my problem!!)
originally posted by shootme78
"The device manager just needed to be prompted to use the driver for an Apple Mobile Device instead. The Apple driver was already in my PC - I just had to prompt the device manager to use it instead of the camera driver it kept installing. Here's what I did:
I right-clicked the iPhone in Device Manager and chose Update Driver (for me, the iPhone was showing up in the Device Manager under Imaging Devices).
I selected "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and clicked Next.
I chose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and clicked Next.
In the next window there were 2 drivers to choose from: the "Digital Still Camera" driver that my PC kept thinking the iPhone was, and Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I selected the Apple Mobile Device driver.
The driver installed, and at that point iTunes 9.2 could finally detect the iPhone. Yay!"

IPod nano won't sync; dreaded "duplicate file" message

Suddenly, my old but heretofore functioning iPod Nano won't sync radio podcasts. Gets the "duplicate file" message. I have tried resetting multiple times; reinstalled iTunes, changed the port, checked for plug-ins (no iToner) etc. Ran diagnostic; it fails the device sync test, saying no iPod touch found.
I have seen some other complaints about this.
Is there a solution? I have done most of the troubleshooting steps but did not restore iPod to virginity (hoping to avoid reloading songs onto it).
Thanks in advance for any help.
