Ipod won't do ANYTHING, not even charge, when i connect it to computer.

So I have the 5g and have never had a problem before until now. I connect it to my computer: nothing happens. doesn't wake up, doesn't charge, doesn't sync. tried it on another computer: same thing. Tried all of my usb ports: nothing. The usb ports are good, also. Tried another cable: nothing. Now here is the interesting part...I connected it to my third party car charger and it works fine. The thing is, I can't sync it with the car charger...So if any one can help, please don't be shy.

Ok guys, I read somewhere NOT ON THE APPLE SITE that this could be a problem with something called the logic board. You can either buy one and replace it yourself or there are some sites that will do it for you. I'm not sure if apple will do it unless you bend over backwards, call 15 phone numbers, and pay for some sort of ipod protection crap or even at all. So do whatever you think is right and I hope everyone can get their ipods workin' again.

  • My iPad 2 wont charge when its connected to my computer

    Hi,
    My iPad 2 wont charge when its plugged i to my comp(Windows 7 Laptop) it only charges with the wall socket.
    Why?
    Thanks!

    The current provided by most USB ports on computers is not sufficient to charge the iPad. It may charge but the not charging icon will show, and the charge rate will be quite slow.

  • My ipod won't sync songs-not even one!

    I have 1GB nano and it hasn't been working for a while. It was originally saying that "itunes cannot detect the ipod" but I realised that was because it was trying to sync all of my songs which were more than 1GB. Then I pressed a couple of things and deleted all the songs off my ipod by accident(They're still in the library though). Then I unchecked all of my songs except one so it only had to sync one song but it won't even do that! When I press sync it comes up with the little bar at the top but the bar doesn't fill up and it just stops trying to sync. Can anyone help?

    It does only sync a few songs from all the albums. For example, Megadeth - Rust in Peace do have 13 songs in iTunes. On my iPod there is only 4. Have you experienced it?

  • My i pad is not charging when i connect to the computer

    how can i use whatsapp to my i pad???????

    Your iPad is not designed to charge using a USB port on a computer.  It will trickle charge, but that's about it.  To charge an iPad use the 10w or with iPad Air 12w wall charger that came with your iPad.

  • Hello my ipod touch 4g has recently started needing restoring a lot in the past week i have restored it 3 times. But my ipod only needs restoring or says it does when i connect to my computer to charge it but when i unplug it everything works. Help please

    Question says it all thanks.

    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod if you have not already tried that. If you still have the problem after that then it is very likely you have a hardware problem an an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    - Or maybe there is a problem with your cable or USB port/computer. Wehn you get the error again I would see if you have the same problem/error message with another cable and computer.

  • My iphone is not charging just when i connect to the computer, What should i do?

    What should i do if my Iphone just charge when i connect to the computer?

    A lot of times, it is the cable. However, I had a problem similar to this a while ago and actually had to re-install itunes. See if your cable works with other devices, and then check itunes for needed updates. Hope this helps!

  • My ipod touch 4 won't sync or register on my computer. The cord works, the usb port works, and when I plug my ipod into the wall to charge it work, but when i plug it to the computer nothing, not even charging. P.S. worked before I updated it.

    You do have iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer, right?
    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • 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.

  • My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now won't turn on or even charge. Any ideas?

    My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now the ipad won't turn on or even charge. I still have all the packaging and receipt as proof. Any ideas why? Purchase was over a year  ago, so I can't get Apple help on the phone.

    Try moving and wiggle the devise  if that works the port or the tip of the charger is Brocken if the wire is an apple chatter made by Apple it should not I give your problems I've it in a forren ore different manufacturer that could be the problem apple suggest all apples devises should all ways charges and sync with an apple manufactured charger for the best proformance don't try other doggy chargers made from other manufactures.
    Hope this works

  • When i try to charge my iPod it doesnt do nothing not even in the computer nor with normal electricity. some help me?

    my ipod doesnt charge, and doesnt work not even in my computer.

    See the not-charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Have you tried another cable?
    Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

  • MacBook pro still won't back up, not even with a cable.

    I backed up my G4 tower wirelessly. I backed up my G4 Powerbook using an ethernet cable to the Timecapsule LAN port. (Of course now that I've upgraded to 10.5.2 neither of their airport cards works anymore. No fix for that so far.)
    But the MacBook Pro still won't back up. Not even with a cable. I've tried using the cable to the Timecapsule's LAN port. Nothing. I've tried connecting to the Timecapsule's ethernet port. Nothing.
    In fact, when I go into network preferences....ethernet is not even an option for connecting to anything. My choices are: Airport, Bluetooth and Firewire.
    Exactly how am I supposed to back up my MacBook Pro? It won't do it wirelessly and I can't do it with an ethernet cable either.
    Timecapsule POS!

    Hmm...let me see if I can help you. In your Network preference pane, click on the '+'. Then select Ethernet from the drop down menu. After you click OK, you should be able to configure the ethernet interface to connect to your TC. After that, you should be able to connect to it with the your ethernet cable.
    As far as your not being able to use your MBP's airport, I'm not certain what that particular problem is - I haven't had any problems with my TC and this MBP that I'm using (indeed, my problem is connecting wireless with my PB G4 (with WPA that is, it'll work using WEP)).
    Hope my first paragraph helps you.
