IPod shuffle will not charge when connected to other computers.

A girl I work with had me load her shuffle on my computer. I set it up and synced with my itunes and everything worked well. Then the battery ran out and she tried to connect it to a computer at work and it said that it was already synced with an itunes library. She left it plugged for a few hours anyway and when she unplugged it there was no charge in it. Both computers are iMacs and it was plugged into a usb on the back of the computer. Thanks dudes.

In Settings in iTunes (while shuffle is plugged in) UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached) and click apply... This will allow charging w/o iTunes involvement.

  • My ipod shuffle will not charge...what can i do?, my ipod shuffle will not charge...what can i do?

    my ipod shuffle will not charge fully, the light that comes on when i try to charge just flashes red, and the battery lasts for about 20 mins max and then advises battery is low and then dies!

    That's often an indication that the dock connector at the bottom of the phone is either dirty or damaged.  Blow compressed air on it and/of gently brush it with a clean, dry toothbtush.  Also be sure the usb cable is able to make a good connection to the connector without being obstructed by your case.  If it's a tight fit, try removing your case.

  • Ipod Touch will not charge or connect to Itune, keeps reverting to apple logo?

    My Ipod Touch will not charge or connect to Itunes/computer
    Ipod switchs on charge logo appears then switchs to apple logo

    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.

  • My original Ipod 30gb will not charge when plugged in (suspect battery completely dead...). Help

    My orignal 30gb ipod will not charge when plugged in to a power socket. I think the battery has completely run down. Any thoughts?

    Which model is this iPod.  The "original" iPod was 5GB or 10GB, so this must be a 3rd gen iPod, at the earliest.  This document shows all the iPod models.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1353
    If it's a 3rd gen iPod, it has a dock connector, but it needs to be connected to a FireWire port to charge.  It does not charge from a USB port.

  • My ipod touch will not charge or connect via usb

    When i plug in my ipod touch, it only recognizes that it is plugged in for a few seconds at a time. Therefore, it will not charge, and this occurs no matter what cable i use with it, whether i plug it into my computer, or into the wall with an adapter. I also cannot use itunes with it because of this. I have already looked through the forums for other people having the same problem, but most of them just got useless answers such as checking the troubleshooting guide. I would prefer a "REAL" answer to this. To be completely honest, all that the troubleshooting guide tells you is how to do an idiot-check on yourself. I have only had the ipod for a few months, two at the most, so a depleted number of recharges in the battery is highly unlikely, especially since the computer also will not recognize it. An error message comes up saying that it does not recognize the device. Thanks for any help!

    I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
    I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.

  • My ipod touch will not charge when I use the FM transmitter.

    I have a FM ransmitter that will play music when I attach my 3rd generation ipod touch but it will not charge it.  But I receive an error message that my ipod doesn't support this device.  I use an adapter but it doesn't work.  I've used this adapter in the past with other FM transmitters and it would charge my ipod.  Thank you.

    I have the same problem, my ipod connects to various wifi networs supplying internet to other devices but I cannot use safari... pages connect/ download endlessly. However Map app works fine. Wifi signals strong.
    I have reset network setting but all this has done is to wipe all my passwords and networks, and I still cannot connect to the internet. Frustrating!

  • My ipod touch 5th gen will not charge when connected to pc. works when plugged into wall

    I just got my 5th gen ipod today, and when i plug it into my pc (and my roommate's) they make the sound as if something is connected, but my ipod does not charge. When I plug it into my wall charger, it works fine. I've tried multiple cables, and multiple PCs, but it makes no difference. The weirdest thing though, is when I restart my computer, when it is about to close windows, it starts charging for a few seconds, then turns back off. This is so confusing. Any ideas?

    Sounds like the computer's USB ports do not provide enough current to charge the iPod when the screen is on. I would connect a partially discharged iPod to the computer for a couple of hours and see it it is charged.

  • IPod Shuffle will not install or connect to iTunes!

    I recently got a Toshiba laptop so had to transfer everything from my old laptop to there. As expected I re-installed iTunes and install my iPhone 4S, iPod Classic, Touch & Nano all work fine. However, my iPod Shuffle 3rd Gen (the one with no buttons) will not install its driver to my PC or connect to iTunes. I dont have a clue what is wrong as when I plug it in it charges with the light and it plays music thats on it from my old laptop fine! The only onboard button is the 3 way switch (OFF/REPLAY/SHUFFLE).
    I give many thanks to any help given!
    Thanks,

  • IPhone 4 will not charge when connected to power

    I have tried the home/ power trick and at first it went to the apple logo then would power up and then cycle off and then repeat infinitely. Now the phone is so low on power that it only shows either the lightening bolt while connected or the cord + lightening bolt when not connected to power. It is still not charging though. I left plugged in overnight and still no change.Help please

    If not a problem with the power adaptor or cable being used, more than likely the iPhone has a hardware problem with the battery or something else. Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • My iPhone 4 will not charge when connected to a Toshiba S-75 computer.

    I have an iPhone 4 that charged on a USB connection to a HP computer. I recently purchased a Toshiba S75-A7221 laptop, which has the "sleep and charge" feature. At first, the phone would charge, then it started to beep, so did the laptop. One beep alternates with the other. I contacted Toshiba. They indicate that for $49 they can reset the computer, and that will fix the problem. I am not so sure, as the Toshiba documentation indicates that for some loads, the sleep and charge feature will not work. Should I continue to pursue the Toshiba group or just charge the iphone with the small cube charger and forget about connecting it or updating it through this computer? A fix is desired, but if there is none, just a reminder that maybe Toshiba laptop computers do not have enough output current to charge an iPhone.

    What you describe is not an Apple or iPhone issue.
    Talk to Toshiba.  If you chose to pursue the issue with them, that is up to you.  No one here can tell you what the correct solution is.
    Keep in mind, all iPhones ship will a wall plug to permit the device being charged from a wall outlet.

  • IPod nano will not charge when plugged into a computer, or power adapter

    This is an 8gb iPod nano 4th gen. Today, I was playing it on the stereo, and it ran out of juice, so i plugged it into my computer to charge. It would flash the "Connect to Power" screen, then turn off, then turn on, showing the apple logo, a few seconds later it goes to the main screen. Almost immediately, it shows the "Connect to Power" screen again, and turns off. This cycle just repeats over and over again.
    I have tried two different usb cord, and all of the ports on my iMac, in addition to a AC adapter/charger. Each time warranted the same results. I have tried the menu + center button reset multiple times, but to no avail. I would reformat it, but alas, neither itunes nor finder will recognize it.

    Sounds like a dock connector problem on the Nano, check it and make sure there is not debris, lint, etc. and clean it if there is. Also, check for bent/damaged pins.

  • My ipad air will not charge when connected to any outlet with its own cable and plug.

    I had this Ipad Air since March 2014 and always kept it updated and charged, but since three days ago it does not seems to like its own charging cable and plug that came with it. I tried different outlets and other cords and plugs. I closed and restarted it, but no result. Now it is off because of no battery power. What can it be?

    Try the following:
    Option 1
    1. Settings>Airplane Mode>ON
    2. Turn the iPad OFF
    3. Leave unit off for about 20 seconds. 
    4. Turn the iPad back on and it should now show "charging"
    5. Turn Aeroplane Mode OFF
    Option 2
    Reset iPad and when the apple logo shows up, plug in the charger.
