Ipod not charging with usb, but will with firewire?

ipod will only charge at apple store using a firewire charger. What can I do? It seems not to charge are all using usb.

Why not just use Firewire? If Firewire works, use that. There is no need to send the iPod in for service if Firewire works and USB does not.
the reason I would send it in for service if the USB portion of the connector is not working is:
1) it could be a problem that will propegate to the firewire side of the connector
2) because the USB side should be working
3) if I am someplace with a machine that does not have a firewire port to plug into
if its covered under the warranty, then get it fixed so everything works
imho

Because the hub is not compatible with the iPod.

Ipod wont charge with firewire

Hi,
I'm using a clickwheel (4g) ipod with my laptop. For the past 6 months or so I've been using the USB port to charge transfer files. As you know USB is slow so I invested in a USB 2.0 card yesterday.
This is where the problems start, first of all it wouldnt recognise the ipod. I got the latest updater/itunes software did all the resets etc. And it started to work sporadically after powering down the PC a few times.
I read on this board that USB 2.0 sometimes just plain doesn't seem to work with Ipods, so went back to the store and exchanged it for a firewire card.
This works fine, except for one issue...
The Ipod will not charge, it only charges if I disconnect it and plug it into the USB 1.0 on my laptop. Is there anyway i can resolve this short of having to change ports in order to charge up.
PS.
I don't have an AC adaptor, it inexplicably died one day a few months ago, had to borrow a mate at works in order to reset the ipood.

and now the battery has just been drained completely while transferring stuff from itunes!

Try a different USB port. Also, does it show in iTunes on your computer?

Ipod not charging with JBL Onstage speaker

My ipod Photo has stopped charging when plugged into the v1 JBL Onstage speakers.
I don't think it was supposed to be compatible with the first gen ipod photo, but it used to charge fine, the only thing that has changed is the ipod software has been updated. I've tried reinstalling and restoring the ipod but no luck.
Anybody had the same problem or got a fix?
60gb ipod Photo Mac OS X (10.4.8) v1 JBL Onstage Speakers

so sorry to mention that I am on your sides too, I bought 3 JBL Onstages (first gen), 1 for me and others for my kids.
All of them broke with 2 major problems:-
1. The plug of the 2 JBL broke, bad contact and cant charge
2. The volume buttons also did not work, cant increase or decrease the volume
I do not want to spread about it, but I did give a JBL another go, I bought the 2nd gen of JBL OnStage (with the remote), which is still running fine without any probelm

New ipod touch will not charge with car stereo anymore

I recently got an iPod Touch and when I plug it in to my car stereo it says that "charging is not supported with this accessory". I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that the new IPT do not charge with firewire.
I'm having the same problem with a USB 2.0 extension cord I bought. this one I don't understand because it is supposed to be USB and not firewire. I've tried plugging that in to the wall with a usb wall charger but I get the same thing, so it's not an issue of there not being enough power.
As far as my car is concerned, the cable has a regular ipod connection. I look up firewire to USB converters but they all have a female firewire (small odd shaped holes) connection, so I couldn't plug my cable in to it. Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this situation so that my ipod will charge while it is plugged in?

You have identified a problem that has been around since the iPod touch came out (also effects the latest generation nanos). Go to your local big box store and by yourself a new charger that is compatible with the touch.

5G Video iPOD stopped charging via USB: can someone help?

I bought 5G video iPOD last month. After about a month of charging via USB 2.0 port on WinXP desktop, iPOD no longer charges with USB port. If I connect it to desktop, it syncs songs and shows its charging but in fact it does not charge. As it can't sleep, its loosing power. If I hook it up in the night, its discharged in the morning.
I tried to charge it in the car (with car charger), iPOD charges fine. I have tried to change ports, tried different computer (laptop) and also sent iPOD for service, NOTHING HELPS!
I sent it for repair to Apple, but i got it back in 1 week saying its is perfect condition and no other details. (Very disappointed with Apple's lack of service)
Right now, I am stuck with iPOD not charging with any USB port. How do I solve this? Can the usb ports suddenly become low powered from high powered? Please advice.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why iPhone 5 not charge with its own charger but will with iPhone 4 charger

why iPhone 5 not charge with its own charger but will with iPhone 4 charger. Thanks to the member who posted that fix.

It sounds to me like the charger that came with the iPhone 5 is defective, or the cable is if you've been switching the cables when you switch the chargers.
Regards.

Will not charge with new cable

I have an iPod classic 5th gen and it will not charge with any newer cables. Either apple or aftermarket. I have found it will charge when I hook up my Kensington battery pack and it charged with an older cable but I no longer have it. It's their something different about older units and charging accessories?

There is no difference. They are exactly the same. So it doesn't charge whether you plug it into an available USB port on your Mac or via a wall adapter?
Have you check to make sure the iPod's dock connector port was clean and clear of any sort of debris and/or damage such as bent, broken, or corroded pins?

HT1476 Will the ipod touch charge with a wall charger? I tried to use a wall charger by Nook and it didn't work.

Will the ipod touch charge with a wall charger? I tried to use a NOOK wall charger, but the ipod touch wouldn't charge.

Likely the Nook charger does not provide enough power to charge the iPod with the screen on. You can try leaving the charger connected overnight (iPod sleeping) and see if it is charged in the morning.
