IPod Touch won't charge or connect, but plays music in iPod sound system.

Thats about it. I plug my touch into my PC and it doesn't connect, yet my speakers still play music from it. I've tried another cable from my old iPod and I tried restarting the touch. What is wrong?

I just restarted my PC and it still won't connect. Now I'm nervous.

  • My iPod touch won't charge or connect to my computer but connects to the wall charger!

    My iPod is charging fine when connected to the wall charger but when I connect the same to my computer, it does nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! My stupid computer just gives the sound of a USB connecting. That's all! I updated my iTunes from 11 to 12 last night and I haven't connected the iPod to my computer in a while so I don't know when exactly it seized to connect properly. I can't risk going into recovery and requiring to connect to the computer to restore a backup too! What should I do?

  • My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

    My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

    Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

  • My 4th gen iPod Touch won't charge

    Hi, folks:
    Suddenly, my 4th generation iPod Touch won't charge. I don't mean it won't hold a charge; I mean it WON'T charge. There's no (peep!) when I attach it to a Mac, a Windows box, or to the wall. I've tried not only at my place but at my doctor's office, too, on his computer. Rats.
    It fell three feet onto a concrete floor a week before this happened, so I'm unsure of cause/effect there. However, chances are most excellent that I touched it while filled with static electicity (my bed is exceedingly staticky). Maybe I touched the charging port? I have no idea, but I kinda sorta have a memory of having gotten a shock while touching my pod and wondering whether that was bad.
    It'll be a couple more days before I can get to a Genius Bar (but thank cow I'm in New York City and have my pick of them!). In the meantime, can anyone calm me down about my situation? Do you imagine it's doomed (it IS still operable provided I keep it plugged in, though iTunes can't see it since it won't mount), or do you spose the installation of a new battery might bring my precious baby back to me? It IS freshly backed up (again, thank cow!), but I'm not in a position to buy a new one right now, and unfortunately, I don't know what to do with my eyeballs without a Touch in front of them.
    Oh, how I hope someone can tell me that this has happened to him, and an Apple Genius merely did something magical and handed it back intact and amazing again so Ican cry happy tears. It's been four days and I'm just sick without it (and having to look at this gigantic Mac, with its large and beautiful text in many windows, means I can't RECLINE! WAAAAH!).
    Thanks for any soothing words you have, and if you have sad ones, well, I'll vag up and read them, as I've prepared for the worst anyway (sob!). Just please deliver them gently.
    I appreciate it!

    Wow, Kevin; that's a tantalizing theory! I don't like it (I *never* like to think about logic board damage for any piece of hardware), but it's tantalizing, as it would explain my pod seemingly charging out of thin air, and it'd also explain why my pod doesn't just DIE altogether from a dead battery.
    I feel like an idiot: I have iTunes set to never sync automatically with my pod, so it never automatically recognizes the pod. I'll bet I could sync it if I clicked to "apply," as I've been downloading new apps since 2/21 (the last time I backed the pod up, mere minutes before it failed), but I don't want to risk not having a connection that's 100% and bollixing up what's on the pod now. (I'll be in the hospital for a day and will need something to read the whole time; I'll need an intact pod!)
    Thanks for sticking with me, Kevin; I always like figgering things out, and your theory's interesting. I'll mention it to the Genius. It doesn't give me any hope, but not having any hope, I can always be pleasantly surprised, whereas if I go in all hopeful, someone can dash my dreams. This way, I'll prolly just have my expectations met.
    I appreciate your talking it out with me a lot!

  • IPod touch won't charge while installed in vehicle through direct interface

    Hello,
    This just began happening about two weeks ago. The touch won't charge while installed in the car directly through the interface. I have tried three different set-ups so I know it is not the iPod cable or stereo. It seems to charge and hold said charge fine through wall plug or CP but while in the car it only seems to charge enough to continue playing and then when the car is off, it acts as though it is no longer connected and dies so when I start the car the next time, I have to wait for the unit to charge enough to play...
    Oh and it is a 1st gen 8gb touch.
    Is this the battery or a hardware issue with the touch itself?
    Thanks for any help...
    Nick

    I have the same problem with my Audi and started when I installed the 3.0 update. Besides I can't use the Hi Fi Apple device, which I bought 3 years ago. I'm sure the update didn't take in considerations old interfaces and the HiFi.

  • My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this?

    My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this? Before it died, it said I had a full battery whenever I charged it, but as soon as it came off of the charger, the battery level was always under ten per cent.

    Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced.

  • My ipod touch suddenly stopped charging when connected to my iHome audio system.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Touch won't charge

    My touch completely ran out of battery, so i plugged it into my computer. When i did so, the computer told me that there was a malfunctioning device that was detected, so i looked for the solutions it gave me. All it told me to do was to reconnect the device or replace it; gee, thanks windows. Anyways, itunes doesnt detect any ipod on the computer, and the touch won't charge. I have tried connecting the touch to my laptop as well, and got the same message. I decided to charge it with the car charger in my truck, but nothing happened when i plugged it in. I have read a bunch of articles from apple and they said when its that low on battery, it may take a few minutes of charging before anything shows on the screen, but its been over half an hour. Can somebody please help, i've had this thing for less than a day and i don't want to send it back in if i can help it.

    Ok i just fixed it. I did the restart thing (press and hold power button and home button) and it restarted. I can't believe that wasn't the first thing i thought to do. I'm surprised that connecting to itunes wouldnt unfreeze it. O well, as long as it's working again.

    Press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release oth On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen.
