  • My ipod won't turn on and isn't recognized by iTunes or computer

    My iPod Touch (2nd Generation) won't turn on at all. I tried charging it with different cables and in different outlets and it wouldn't charge. My computer (a mac) and iTunes won't recognize it and the sleep button is jammed so I can't restart it. What should I do?

    Need more info to help, assuming that the iPod screen is totally blank now, when you switch it on.
    When you plug it in to charge, what do you see on the iPod screen, after 30 minutes, while still connected?
    Have you tried using another USB cable or port?

  • Ipod 5 will only charge on laptop not by wall outlet

    A new ipod touch 5 will only charge through a laptop and wiil not charge by plugging into the wall block?

    Does the wall charger work for other devices?

  • IPod touch 5 is not charging and is not syncing.

    My ipod was working fine yesterday, but then last night I tried charging it and it kept saying "USB device not recognized" it's not even charging either. I just bought this charger a couple weeks ago for like $20 I can't get a new one because my grandpa would kill me, and i can't buy a new ipod. i tried everything i could think of. I uninstalled itunes on my windows 8 laptop, and then i reset everything on my ipod. it's still not working at all. they are both up to date. should i take it to a best buy and see if they could do anything? or is there anything i could do at home to save me the trip? please help! thank you.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Battery not charging and MBP not waking up from sleep

    I've got both of these issues happening. Sounds like I just have to wait it out on the sleep issue until a point at which Apple will issue a fix. The battery not charging is becoming especially frustrating though. I've had the computer for about a month and it just started a few days ago. I've checked the battery to see if it qualifies for replacement and it has the correct model number but the s/n has a different last for digits. I've unplugged/removed battery/held down the power button and no change, the battery still does not charge. Seeing as the MBP will run with the power cable inserted and the battery removed, I'm assuming that the cable's ok, the light has rarely come on at all lately -- no green or amber. Any advice here? I'm getting pretty frustrated with this thing.

    I met the same issue, the difference is while i touch the track pad or move mouse or hit keyboard, the screen responds rapidly and then back to black. tap the keyboard, it beeps... I can do nothing except "command+control+power" to restart or long press power to power off it.
    I found it only happens after I installed 10.8.2, it works well before 10.8.2 update.
    any help please?

  • Red battery showing but not charging and button not working

    My daughters iphone 3G is showing a red battery when plugged in but not charging, it always shows 20%.  Also the button isn't working, so I can't reboot.  I have plugged it into the PC and it doesn't recognise the device?? what is going on with this?

    same problem here, on the Black MacBook, purchased in April 2008.
    0% icon and the green lid.
    I tried restarting, reseting etc ... without any success.

  • IPhone not charging and screen not turning on after battery died

    The battery on my iPhone just died about 2 hours ago. I noticed the battery getting kind of hot. Normally when this happens, I let it run to 0% then recharge it to 100%.
    After the phone died, I plugged it in (wall charger) and nothing came on the screen. I then plugged it into the computer and nothing came on the screen at all. I left it plugged in for about 20 minutes and still nothing on the screen but the back of the phone was getting really hot. I held the phone up to my ear and heard a slight buzzing noise from the earpiece (?) and when i took the cable out the noise stopped. The overheating kind of freaked me out but I looked extensively online and everything mentioned flipping the vibrate switch and holding the home and power buttons. I then tried restarting my phone while the phone is plugged in and again nothing showed up on the screen.
    I tried all of this and nothing happened. As of now I've taken the phone off of the charger as I'm unsure what my next move is going to be. I won't be able to take it to an Apple Store until April so I'm pretty much screwed.
    Anyone have anything else I can try?

    I was having battery troubles outlined in this topic:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2324513&start=135&tstart=15
    I tried some of the easy fixes but none had worked so far. Since the last time my battery drained to 0% and turned off (yesterday), my phone has not turned on. I have plugged it into a working wall socket, and plugged it into my computer, and neither has worked. Please note it's been plugged in for more than 24 hours. I have tried rebooting it but nothing seems to work. I have checked the apple support topics and can't find any solution to this problem that has worked.
    Also please note that my phone is not getting hot to the touch, nor is it making a "humming" noise.
    Thanks.

  • 5g 30gb u2 ipod will only charge, and is not being recognized by my computer (windows vista)?

    i've tried everything and then just yesterday I tried to sync it and i did. but today it won't pick it up. it just lays there charging
    this has been going on for like 3 months already!

    I am afraid that the solution did not work... the ipod touch of mine seems really not functioning. It receives an electric isgnal from the computer but it doesnt sync at all... Whenever I put my ipod touch off and plug it to my computer it turns on but it doesnt sync... .. Moreover, I have used different PCs so as to try it syncing.. I have used mac book pro and windows 7 laptops but it gives similar feedback, which is NO FEEDBACK at all...

  • IPod Nano, 2nd Generation. Does Not Charge, and Is Not Recognized

    I have Posted: Aug 8, 2007 3:54 PM , but no replies. Also I see a certain user (Jeff) massively repeating posts.
    Please help, my friends have got me an 2GB silver Ipod Nano, it goes through the whole routine on my friend's computers, they even put music into it for me, but when I connected it to my computer, the display says its fully charged (green plug inside battery) instead of charging (thunderbolt)!
    I did everything, EVERYTHING, they asked online, from resets, reboots, getting latest vs. of iTunes, restarted over 10 times, switched from USB Normal and USB 2.0 ports repeatedly, followed both the tech support automated and live, then (as they asked) searched for a few hours to find the correct drivers, and installed everything I could for my VIA chipset, and it still doesnt work.
    I remember one of (the call dropped initially) the tech support guys saying something about USB spor.inm
    Still can't find it.
    I need to upload my music and be able to charge my iPod on my own computer! Please help!

    I have the exact same problem, and nothing works. When I plug it into computer, it's recognized, it syncs, and it plays while connected. As soon as I disconnect, it's dead. I've charge it overnight, I've let it drain overnight, I've plugged it into a charger with same result, I've used it on two different computers. HELP

  • Ipod shuffle cannot be charge and cannot connect to itunes

    Help!
    Some problem with my shuffle...cannot be charge externally or by PC USB port and cannot connect itunes.
    Could it be the station unit??
    Pls help!

    Same problem. I have gone through the troubleshooting and downloaded a program to restore it, but I can't restore it because it's not recognized. So then I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes but it didn't help at all. We've only had it 9 months. Looking for some help on this one cuz I think the warranty is only 6 months
    If you bought it from Apple then the warranty is 12 months.
    Take it to an Apple Store and ask for a repair / exchange.

  • IPod 5th gen 30gig won't charge and isn't recognized by iTunes

    I recently replaced the battery in my iPod 5th gen because I thought that was the problem.  This fixed things temporaly and my iPod turned on for this first time in a long time.  However, now it won't charge or hook up to the computer.  I think this may have been the problem all along. 
    The charging port seems to be in good condition and pretty clean.  I have tried resetting it and resetting it while connected to itunes.  I also disconnected and reconnected the new battery.  I left it plugged in for sometime but it hasn't charged.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I really have no idea what the problem is at this point.
    Thanks

    I suspect that you have a completely dead battery.
    i got this ipod about a year ago
    If you mean 11 months, a battery replacement is under warranty but $30 shipping and handling. If you mean 13 months, a battery replacement is $59 + $7 shipping.
