My iPod touch 3th generations won't charge on jbl dock station

I have a jbl dock station and my ipod touch third generation won't charge but play music

Did it work before?
Does JBL (support site) say it will work with a 3G iPod with iOS 5.1.1?
Maybe this will make it charge:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My daughter bought an 4th generation ipod classic without a charger. We are using the charger from an ipod touch and it won't charge. Someone posted online that not all chargers will work on the classic. Anyone else have this issue and any suggestions?

My daughter bought a 4th generation ipod classic without a charger. The ipod was working just fine, but then we tried to charge it using a brand new charger for an Ipod Touch. It won't charge and someone online someone posted that there ipod touch charger worked on the ipad, phone and whatever else he had but it wouldn't work on the classic. Anyone else have this same issue? Any solutions?

The ipod did not come with a power cord as we purchased it used from ebay. The ipod was half charged when we received it and it worked well enough to transfer songs to my computer (the previous seller didn't delete their 2000 plus songs). My son then used the same cord on his computer to transfer the songs, but processed an update to the ipod and after that,it wouldn't work. So, I'm not sure if we received a bum ipod, an update issue or we have a charger issue, but the cord we used to transfer the songs came from my son's brand new ipod touch. We've also tried 2 other chargers from ipods we have in the house, 1 being a wall charger.
One individual posted online that he took his ipod classic, mac and phone overseas with one charger and it worked fine on all but the classic. So, I'm thinking that they cords may not be universal. Online I've read that it must be a 6 pin firewire, high power 2.0 usb cord. Or that I need to purchase an applie charger. We don't live close to an apple store and I'm reluctant to order one just to have it NOT work.
My daughter is learning the hard way that buying off of ebay is not always the best solution to a cash strapped 12 year old.
Any other advice is greatly appreciated.

IPod Touch 4th Gen won't charge.

It's been about a month now that it won't charge at all. I've tried it on every single cable that I have, but it still won't charge. It won't charge when it's plugged into the wall outlets nor on my PC and MacBook. So I had turned off my iPod and told myself that I would have someone take a look at it for me, but I have completely forgotten about it.
I bought this ipod about more than a year ago, so my warranty is over. I'm not sure if I can even go into the apple store and ask the Genius' for help.
Recently, just today, I had turned it back on in hopes of trying to see if it would charge again. I plugged it into my MacBook and surprisingly it charged, however, only for a short 10 minutes, then after it finished syncing, it stopped charging and disconnected itself from iTunes. Messing around w/ the cable cord, I moved it a little and it started charging again, this time only for about 2 minutes. Then it stopped charging and disconnected itself from iTunes again. And now I cant get it to charge at all. I've tried putting it into DFU mode, it doesn't work since I can't connect to iTunes. So I tried turning it off while it was still plugged in and it just restarted. I unplugged it, turned it off and it shut down completely; then I plugged it back in, and it would turn back on, but it won't charge.
I don't know what the problem is exactly. If anyone can help, that would be much appreciated. I'm not really looking towards purchasing another iPod anytime soon. /:
Meanwhile, I'm just going to leave it off as to not drain the battery.

What if my 8GB iPod Touch 4th Gen. won't charge and won't keep it's charge?

My iPod Touch 4thGen. 8GB 6.1.3, doesn't charge at all. For the past 2 weeks I've tried different cables/wires, 2 computers, different wall jacks, and my car charger, but to no success... And every time I somehow do manage to get it to charge, it doesn't show a lightning/electricity/zig zag pattern, only a "fully charged" symbol, and a few times don't seem to be charging the battery at all. All it says is "Charging Not Supported With This Accessory."... Like right now it is "charging", with a "fully charged" symbol, but the battery is still red and very thin. I've been charging it for the past 4 hrs. and it's still at less than 20%. What do I do? I bought it last June, and so IDK if the warranty is still useful. It's screen is cracked(since January) and the power button doesn't work at all(since May) so I can't restart it or turn it off. My friend told me to fully drain the battery, so I did. But once I connected and charged it, for around 5 or 6 hours, even then it still had a low battery. What can I do?

My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't charge?

Well I've had my iPod Touch 4th Gen since it came out it will be 2 years old in October. Yesterday I charged my iPod while listening to music. I took it of when it was charged and used a little it became half dead so I put it on my charger. I realized there was no indication of it charging? I placed on all of the chargers in my house and the same problem. I haven't tried connecting it to my Mac, but I did try turning on and off but still won't charge. Does anyone know if I can fix this?

- Try connecting it to yur computer and se if it charger and it it appears in iTunes
- Try another cable
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalites like bent or corroded contacts, crackd or missing plastic pieces or foreign material.

My ipod touch 4th gen won't charge while on, but charges while dead.

While its dead I plug in my ipod and it will show the charging screen for about 5-8 seconds then powers up. When it powers up it does not recognize that it is charging. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the charger as it works on other ipods. Theres nothing abnormal about the ipods charging dock either. I have tried forcing restarts (holding the home and power button at the same time). Ive tried resetting the ipods settings. The only thing I can think of is a full factory reset but I would like to avoid the trouble if I can.Has anyone found a fix for this yet? If anyone also has answers as to why this is happening I would like to know as well.
NOTE. I don't have money to take it in to apple or any other place so that is not an option

Ipod touch 2nd generation, won't charge but it will still sync with itunes

Everything works except it wont charge. it has the 'done charging symbol' in the battery except its pretty much dead. i know its not a bad usb port or anything because you can still put songs on it and stuff. now it just keeps switching from charging to done charging and i have no idea what's wrong with it. help please?

I would do a restore and see if the problem corrects itself. You might also want to try a wall charger.
Since you posted on the Apple side of the forum, I'm going to assume you have some type of Apple computer. Don't plug your touch into the keyboard USB port (it won't charge) and a restart will re-intialize your USB ports. I would try those steps as well.
If you continue to have problems, it is time for a repair or battery replacement.

Ipod touch 5th gen won't charge?

My ipod touch will no longer charge, and I can't figure out why. I have tried connecting it to all usb ports on 2 different computers, as well as to a wall charger, with no luck. All that will show on my screen is a low battery symbol on a black background, which shows up for a few seconds if I hold down the power button.
I have tried to reset the ipod several times by holding the home and power button, but it does nothing. I also tried putting the ipod into recovery mode, and itunes detected it and gave me the option of resetting the device. After a few minutes however, an error popped up in itunes saying that it was unable to reset the device.
I'm out of ideas, please help!

My iPod Touch 4th generation won't charge?

I haven't dropped it or anything. It just randomly stopped charging. I have tried 3 different cords and I plugged it into my computer but it is not showing up on iTunes and it won't charge. It's also dead. I have tried holding the power button and home button together but it does nothing, the apple symbol doesn't show up. I don't think there's anything wrong with the cords. I have not jailbroken it or anything. But I have a lot of data on there and I don't want to lose it. Please help me ASAP!!!!!

IPod touch 5th gen won't charge or start up

I recently had to give up my iPhone and went to get my iPod. It wouldn't start up at first so I tried turning it on. Which didn't work so I figured the battery was dead. I plugged it in and the battery symbol thing pops up after a minute and only shows up for 3 seconds then the screen goes dark and it keeps repeating the process which leads me to believe it will not charge no matter what I do. I tried holding the power button, I also tried holding the power and home button only to find out my efforts did nothing.My computer won't find it if its plugged into the USB (USB 3.0 port) and its just frustrating because it worked perfectly before I got my phone.

IPod Touch 4th Generation Won't Charge

Hi, I got my iPod touch 4th generation in January of 2011 and it has been working fine until now.
Let me explain ...
     The other day my battery ran out on my iPod, so just as usual I went to plug it into the USB port on my computer. Nothing happened. I then tryed switching USB ports (I have 4). Nothing happened. I then tryed using my wall charger. Nothing happened. I tryed switching outlets. Yet again, nothing happened.
     Frustrated I asked my friend if I could borrow her charger. I then proceeded to plug it in to my 4 USB ports, and my many plug outlets. Yet again, nothing happened. When I plug it into my computer, it does not reconize my iPod (Although, I believe it shouldn't since my iPod is dead.). I even tried leaving it plugged in for a few hours, and it still did absolutley nothing.
     Now normally when my iPod dies, when I attempt to turn it on it shows a flashing low battery sign (http://ihackmyi.com/files/upload/b/2140-112810133913.jpg) and when I plug it in it shows a low battery sign, except with a symbol notifying me that it's charging (http://www.best-ipod-online.com/images/ipod-touch-troubleshooting-01.jpg). Except now when I attempt to turn it on, it does nothing. It just shows a pure, plain, black screen.
I am completely disapointed with my iPod, and any help at all would be appreciated. I do not wish to ship it away, I will only do that as a last resort.
Thank you,
J.L.K & J.M.K

My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't charge with the cable

There are no bents on the charger. When I plug it into my computer (MacBook Air) it says that a USB has used to much power and something like that... I already have my iPod updated to the ios 7. I had the iPod for about 3 months now. What is wrong with it?
