IPod won't charge with car charger or on stereo dock..

A couple months ago, my iPod Nano (1st gen) stopped charging with the car charger and my stereo dock for no apparent reason. Is there some sort of setting that got switched in iTunes that prevents it from charging from other sources, besides the computer?
It charges just fine when I connect it to my PC...but it just doesn't charge when I connect it to the car charger, or my stereo dock...
Thanks in advance.

No, iTunes probably wouldn't be affecting your iPod's charging from anything but a computer.
Have you tried resetting your iPod?
Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 10 seconds.
If that doesn't seem to work (you might need to try it quite a few times), try taking a look at this:

  • IPod mini only works with car charger!

    My iPod mini only works when it is plugged into a car charger. It is 4 months old. It does not work (frozen - no response or display at all) on its own, or plugged into the AC charger, or the USB connection on the computer. I have tried the reset procedure several times and with different power connections with no results. The iPod seems perfectly fine when using a car charger otherwise nothing! Whats going on!!?!?!
    Anyone else with this problem??

    Try to reset it.
    Press and hold the MENU and CENTER buttons - at the same time - until you see the Apple logo. This should take about 6 seconds. Also, you want to do this procedure while your iPod is connected to your computer. Ipods are supposed to work with USB port cable and AC Adapters, not only car chargers.
    If this doesn't work, then try to update it using iPod Updater software. Open iPod Update, plug in your iPod to your computer and wait until the software recognizes it. Once it does, you should be able to click on the "Update" button. If you can't, click "Restore"

  • IPod with dock connector is not getting charged with car charger and iTrip

    My iPod from 2003 with dock connector is not getting charged in my car by using the griffin iTrip with USB car charger. iTrip works, but not the charger. Maybe there´s not enough power output from the car charger? Only 5.0V with 400mA are coming out. iPod needs more? 12V with 1.0A?
    Does somebody have information about that problem for me?

    Has Apple dropped support for older model iPods?
    Nope. Support is still there, even back to the original 1G iPod with the wheel that actually turns. I have a 3G iPod, and it syncs just fine. There have not been any software updates for years, but the old software still works fine with the latest iTunes.
    You have to use FireWire, which you seem to be doing.
    Try putting it into Disk Mode first, then connect it.

    Does the iPod currently play music as it should?
    Do you have another docking cable (FireWire) that you can try? FireWire connectors often get worn and they no longer work, although the power connection can continue to work.
    Did you try the other FireWire port in the iMac?

    Check the little gold pins on your charge cable.   We have burned up two apple cables from regular use.   They do t appear to be designed well.

  • Charging with car charger

    I have a car charger and I usually charge the IPOD while driving. The question is, what happens if I leave the IPOD charging while the car is parked? Could the car battery get discharged and have a problem (ex. if IPOD is charging for 6hours). Thanks, Pablo.

    "Question: Should I leave iPod connected to the charger or in the dock whenever I'm not using it?
    Answer: The battery stops charging when it's full. Leaving it connected won't charge it any more. It's perfectly OK to leave it connected so it can charge overnight, for example."

    "Question: How long does it take to charge the battery?
    Answer: Fully charging the battery takes about 4 hours. You can also fast-charge the battery to 80 percent capacity in 1 hour (2 hours for iPod (Click Wheel)). Charging the battery may take longer if you're using iPod as it charges."

  • IPod touch 1g not charging properly with car charger

    I have a 1g iPod touch I'm using it with a Kensington 33199 fm transmitter/car charger. The iPod does not recognize the car charger power to put it into charge mode. The battery symbol does not change to a charging symbol...the unit does play audio out through the transmitter (which works fine), but it doesn't show the usual signs of charging. It seems to get a bit of a charge as the battery doesn't run down, but it also doesn't charge up. If I let the battery run down too far it won't work with the transmitter/charger at all.
    Anyone have this kind of problem with a car charger? It charges fine hooked to the computer or directly to an apple wall charger.

    If this is a 1G, then it should work. I haven't tried my 1G in the car yet, guess I should. I use a Griffin FM transmitter that charges as it plays back over the radio.
    I'll let you know what I find!

  • My mini ipod won't switch on or charge

    My mini ipod won't switch on or charge. I have tried charging it several ways - via the pc, plug and incar charger but no luck. The pc does not recognise the ipod. I have tried toggling the hold switch. The usb ports on the pc are ok.
    The last thing that I did with the ipod was detached from the pc when it had the message to do not disconnect.
    Can anyone help
    thanks

  • Why won't my new 4s charge with wall charger?

    Why won't my new 4s charge with wall charger?  It will charge when docked for off the computer but I need to use the wall charger.

    Have you got a friend who has the same phone, you could try to use their adapter and see if you could get it fixed. Also you could upgrade the iOS5 see if it fixes the issue. http://www.itjungles.com/iphone-tips/iphone-4s-update-to-ios5-to-fix-battery-pow er-issue

    Any fixes?

    I also had problems with iTunes 7 when it first came out, but 7.0.2 is working for me and seems to have fixed a lot of the problems. It's worth a try if you need iTunes 7 for your new iPod.
