Ipod only show Charging & not syncing

I have a friend who got the new IPOD. She adivsed me that it was not synching. It ried and it only showed charging. I uninstall and reinstalled the ITunes to no avail the same thing happened. It showed charging and not auto syncing on the computer. How can I correct this?

I have the same problem. I have an Ipod Nano 1st generation that won't sync also. I tried downgrading Itunes version and that didn't work. I installed the latest Itunes and firmware but I'm still having the problem.
The only solution I have found is to reset the ipod, then do a restore in itunes then run the sync. It works then once and you will need to do it again everytime you sync otherwise it won't sync. It is rather disapointing considering that the Ipod is supposed to be a premium product.

  • IPod only shows "Do not disconnect"

    Suddenly when I disconnected my "always" in gook working order iPod, it only shows "Do not disconnect", neither the iMac nor the iTunes recognize it.
    I've tried the Menu and Center buttons and nothing at all.
    Can someone help me please?
    Thank you in advance,

    Maybe this can be a clue: I put on a note but my iPod didn't recognize it, just before I unplugged it.
    Thanks again

  • Ipod only shows charging when hooked to computer

    When connecting to my computer via firewire port itunes does not recognize my ipod. I have ran latest updater software, reset settings on ipod. When i hook up ipod all it shows is the charging screen

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Bruce.
    Are you using an Apple tested firewire card? Cheap firewire cards (including most onboard firewire) use the VIA chipset which does not work with the 'Pod. Best bet, as always, is to use the gold standard of iPod connectivity, the Adaptec 4300.

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

  • Why does my ipod only show an apple and wont start up

    Why does my Ipod only show an apple and wont do anything else>  And holding down the two buttons has done nothing!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 5G 30G Ipod won't charge or sync

    My Ipod won't charge when connected to my laptop. It does charge when plugged into my car radio transmitter and dock. When I plug it into my laptop fully charged I get a message from windows explorer asking me if I want to scan and clean it to repair any problems. I have done this. It starts to sync with itunes (still fully charged) and then I get an error message saying the disk cannot be read. When I disconnect the Ipod there is almost no charge on the battery. I have restored the Ipod through itunes and reinstalled itunes.
    I have replaced the battery and charged it again but I am still having the same problems.
    I have synced an ipod shuffle on the same computer with no problems.
    Any help would be appreciated! thanks.

    come on guys? can anybody help?
    I have run the manual diagnostics and the USB cable is recognized. I let the battery completely discharge for 5 days, rebooted it up and its draining power from the usb cable to operate, but there is no software recognition (other than in diagnostics) of the fact that the cable is plugged in. In disk mode it shows charging but does not recognize it is plugged into a computer. In normal mode it does not show charging or syncing. OS X does not acknowlede the ipod exists and windows does not recognize the device (several computers, all recognize other ipods).
    I'm sure this must be a software issue but i cannot restore as i cannot get the computer to recognize the ipod! Help

  • My ipod only shows a black screen and an apple logo

    My ipod only shows a black screen and an apple logo. It wont connect to iTunes, and charging doen't work. HELP PLEASE!

    Try a reset. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the screen goes dark for a moment, then the Apple boot logo should reappear. If it doesn't work, it's broken, take it to the Apple store or another authorized repair service.

    when i charged my iphone on y pc after some time showing charger not supported with this accessory what have to do to solve it

    If you did not do a reset of your iPod please try that (you will not lose any data)
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If this does not work inspect the opening in your iPod where the cable connects. Look for any debris and clean it (a magnifying glass may be required).

    Thanks!

    You will need to restore your phone as a new one using the itunes on your computer.  This WILL erase everything on the phone but it will let you change the name of the phone and then you can add content to it.
