IPod will no longer charge, connect to my computer, or connect to iTunes!

Please help! I lost my old iPod charger for my computer, and so I got a new one. But for some odd reason, it won't charge, connect to my computer, or sync with iTunes! Another weird thing is that the new charger worked perfectly fine a few days ago, but starting 3 days ago, it just stopped working.
I've tried everything including device manager. My iPod is dead, it doesn't show the red bar with the charger icon when I try to turn it on to indicate that it's dead, just a black screen. I tried holding the sleep/home button for DFU and safe mode and all that, but still nothing!
iPod is a 2G 8GB touch.

Is the Mobile Device Service installed and running on your system?  For details see this article.

  • Ipod will no longer charge on docking station or car dock

    My ipod will no longer charge while it is playing on my docking station or on the car dock. The only way I can charge now is with the genuine charger which means I can only listen for a couple of hours and then have to charge up again. Any ideas?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1476 my iPhone 4 will no longer charge. It is also not recognised in iTunes. There seems to be a problem with the connector slot. I've tried other cables and other computers/plugs but the connection is not being made. Any suggestions?

    It seems to me that the connection port is faulty.

    Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • My ipad will no longer charge via wall or computer, wont turn on and i could not reset or restore please help

    i was updating apps when it froze. it would not let me do anything since then. i know the charger works because i have other apple products and it was opening to iphoto but not itunes

    If the reset doesn't work, you may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • I am locked out of purchasing anything but I need to purchase iTunes Match because my iPod will no longer charge and I need to save my music somehow.

    Help me.

    Hi,
    Purchasing match will not solve your problem. Your music needs to be in your iTunes library on your computer. Read this https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • IPod will not start, charge or respond to computer or anything

    All of a sudden, my iPod stopped working. it will not respond when i attach it to my computer, it will not respond to the charger - anything.
    Any ideas to make this iPod not worthless?
    Thanks

    Have you tried a Reset?
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.

  • My daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck. help!

    my daughters ipod 4th gen will no longer charge past 20% and will not connect to a pc in order to back everything up. the cable is working fine, otherwise it would not even charge to the 20%. i have tried the reset to not lose any data and no luck, home+power for 10-15 seconds. I really would like to not lose everything she has, again, because I can't back it up this time. I have tried charging via a wall outlet and PC and both charge fine, just only to 20%. I am using the cable that came with it so no aftermarket issues there. Please help so I don't have to reset everything again.

    Because once it has charged enough to be powered on as soon as you turn it on it says battery is at 20% and will not charge anymore after that, it just runs for about 5-10 minutes before the battery dies again. The battery cycles discharge/recharge daily and its not on the charger at full charge for more than a couple hours and is never totally dead for more than a couple of hours.

  • So my Ipod will no longer turn on. i leave it on my Ihome and nothing happens. whenever i try to turn it on i get the Apple logo and then it dies and says i should charge it, so i do and it does it again. What does this mean? is my battery totally dead?

    Did you try to charge it using the adapter or your computer?
    If you can, let it charge for about 15min, then connect in recovery mode, described in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If still not luck, your battery might have to be replaced:

  • My ipod will no longer connect to itunes

    My ipod will no longer connect to itunes except for while it is restarting. However once I get to my log in password it disconnects. Also my computer does not seem to recognize my ipod yet it still manages to charge it even though it is not recognized. I have tried unistalling itunes/ installing it again. I can't seem to reset my ipod, and I have turned off my firewall and disabled my anti virus. Nothing seems to work and I am losing my patience. This just happened out of no where. Does anyone have any suggesting about what I could do?

    May somebody please help me?

  • My iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. HELP!

    My 4th generation iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. I tried buying a new cable and USB charging socket (and I bought one made by Apple), but that did not fix the problem. I restored it from iTunes, hoping that would work as well, but that failed. I am at my wit's end. Can anybody here help me? I've bought new equipment, tried rebooting, restoring, etc. but nothing so far has proven successful. If anyone's got a solution, please help!
    Thanks!

  • My iPod will no longer turn on after I fully charged it. HELP!

    I knew I should have never trusted Apple with personal files. I put all of my pictures from my digital camera (1,800 of them) on the ipod for "safe" keeping. Now my ipod will no longer turn on. I fully charged the ipod until the "charged" icon appeared. Then I disconnected it. A couple hours later I tried to turn it on and it no longer turns on. I've had this iPod for about 6 months and I'm pretty sure it's not a dead battery. It's been very good with me. The hold switch is NOT activated. I went through all of the common sense troubleshooting steps. I tried to reset the ipod. I tried recharging it on AC power. I tried reconnecting it via USB on computer. I tried the updater, which doesn't work b/c ipod won't turn on. I've also tried hitting it...jk. I also have 10,330 songs on here. This is my life on my ipod. I can't afford to lose this info. 60GB gone. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

    My ipod will no longer connect you ATT wireless. It did before and my iPhone and iPad still connect jut fine. Any ideas why?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
