IPod Touch not charging in dock

I have a Sony dock but my iPod won't charge in the dock
Running iOS 5 ,iPod 4, the dock model # is CMT-BX20i
Thanks in advance  Logan0916 

Ive dug around in both my ipod slot and the docking slot and got a tiny bit of dust out of there but that didn't make any difference. I then tried it back on the dock in my tv which worked fine, and then tried it on a friends ipod dock, where it also worked.
Also, earlier, it worked for about 10 minutes before displaying the message about my ipod not working on this accessory. Is it more likely to be a problem with the ipod dock? And that i should try and get a replacement dock?

  • 1st generation ipod touch not charging/syncing to my Mac.

    My ipod touch 1st generation is not syncing or charging to my mac.  In fact I have 2 - of the same ipods and both suddenly quit syncing/charging.  Although I have used the same docking port on my mac for months ... I tried a different port and still nothing.  The ipod lights up with the apple screen and then goes to the home screen - but nothing happens after that.   ITunes shows no devices as well.  The ipod just eventually goes to sleep. 
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Why is my 4th generation ipod touch not charge? I plug it into the computer and the wall and with 2 different usb cables and its not charging. When its plugged in it shows the icon for charging but the battery never increases and it dies once i disconnect

    I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
    I have not idea what has happened ....
    Please help
    THanks!

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • 1st Gen iPod touch not charge and not recognized by iTunes

    I bought 1st gen iPod touch without cable.  It won't charge or be recognized by iTunes.  Purchased a new 1st gen cable, but still doesn't work.  Do I still have the wrong cable, or is there another problem?

    Did the sell say it was working?
    Per the Apple store, the current dock-to-USB cable can be used with all iPod Touches.

  • IPod Touch not charging in any external power sources?

    About a year and a half ago, I had an issue with syncing/charging my iPod touch (2nd gen I think? There's no camera on it) in my computer (Dell Studio 1700 PC). It charged everywhere else, the wall, my alarm clock dock...
    I was told to update my device drivers and that resolved the problem. I was able to charge/sync in my computer again. But since I updated the drivers, it stopped charging in the wall/dock. There was no software upgrade during this time, although there has been in the months following.
    Any way I can get it to charge everywhere again? I've seen suggestions that newer models don't fit old connections, but none of my accessories were incompatible at the time of purchase.

    I upgraded my software to what iTunes said was the most recent version in an attempt to troubleshoot as well, but there was no change.

  • 2nd generation iPod touch not working with docking station. Any solutions?

    I've recently purchased a Philips micro music system (DCB2020) and whenever I put the iPod on the dock, it makes the connection sound but won't play music when I select the dock function. I've tried an iPod nano and that works so I don't think it's a problem with the docking station. My iPod touch is 2nd generation and has 4.2.1 software update. Does anyone have any idea how I could make the iPod compatible with the docking station?

  • My ipod touch not charging. what should i do ?

    ive tried charging my ipod touch for the last few days but for some reason wont. what should i do ?

    A reset may help. Push and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds. Ignore the slide to turn off indicator and release buttons when the Apple logo reappears.

  • 2nd gen ipod touch not charging

    When i plug my ipod into charge it says its charging and it gives it a little juice but it wont charge past 10%. The ipod will do weird things like randomly going to the unlock page when i havnt even touched it. It only acts weird when the charger is on it. ive tried multiple cords and wall chargers. is it the charging port or the battery? or both?

    Sounds like the battery. But better make sure before you send it in. Sorry.

  • IPod suddenly not charging in Apple dock

    I have an 8G iPod Touch with a Apple dock purchased at the same time I bought the iPod. I have updated my iTunes regularly. After the last update my dock now won't charge my iPod. It syncs fine but gives me the warning message that charging is not supported on this device. It charged and synced fine for over a year. Can anyone tell me what happened and how to fix it? Thanks for the support in advance.
    Karel

    Case solved. Figured out the dock must be plugged directly into the USB port on the Mac instead of the USB hub that I sometimes use.

  • My ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop. The ipod touch starts charging then stops. This keeps continuing. Please help.

    my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
    I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
    I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
    I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

    See

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

  • IPod touch not responding and has white screen. Tried to restore, drain battery and re-charge etc but still nothing. What can I do?

    iPod touch not responding and has white screen. Tried to restore, drain battery and re-charge etc but still nothing. What can I do?

    Try what you have not tried so far. You may have tried all and the Apple store maybe in order.
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • Why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77%  78% help me please

    why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77%  78% help me please

    All batteries recover a bit when they sit for a little while.  Also most iPod battery apps register only in 5% increments, because it is hard to really be accurate to the single percent.  Just because yours shows in 1% increments does not mean it is actually accurate to that level.
