Ipod zaps me when plugged into ac charger
My ipod nano zaps me when i plug it in with an ac charger. (It actually hurts, not just a little zap) I've tried it with a few other ipods & mine's the only one that does it.
Does anyone know if i can get this fixed when i dont have the receipt?
I don't know about Australia, but in the US you have the option to register the iPod online when you first plug it in, so Apple has a record of your purchase that way, and they can also track the serial number and know the date it was sent out to the store, giving an "earliest possible date" for your purchase. Especially since the nano only came out last fall, you are obviously within the warranty period, so I'd contact Apple about a warranty return.

My nano blinks the apple logo when plugged into a charger and will not respond to any reset commands, anyone have experiance with this problem?
By a reset, I assume you meaning pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
What happens if you try to manually place the iPod into Disk Mode? If you can do that, I would recommend connecting the iPod to iTunes and restoring it.

My iPod only works when plugged into a wall socket!
Anyone know why my iPOD only works when plugged into a wall outlet? I tried it on the Bose docking station and also my MacBook and it won't work!
Any ideas??Sounds like a dead battery. You can have Apple swap out the battery for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party service center to have them do the same for job a little less.

How to recover music? iPod only works when plugged into wall outlet
My iPod is probably 5 years old or so. It's been acting up for a while and I stupidly, did not back it up.
The battery was replaced this weekend so it works when plugged into the wall. It will not power on or do anything when not plugged into the wall. When plugged into the wall charger, it can turn on and says it is charging. It can be used then but as soon as it is unplugged, it's dead.
When it is plugged into the computer, it says "Charging. Please wait...". There isn't enough power from my laptop to power the iPod, so my computer doesn't even recognize it. It does not show up in iTunes.
On the brightside, I have a new iPod classic waiting to be used. However, I would VERY much like to get my 90gb+ off of my old iPod first. Is there a way to do this?
I'm at a loss. Some of the files are on there are not anywhere else. I have a few songs by a friend who lost them on their own computer.
Any help would be very appreciated!Bump. Is there no way to solve this?

IPod nano freezing when plugged into Belkin Tunecast
Everything has been working fine with my ipod nano 3rd generation until recently. I tried to plug it into the tunecast in my car and the ipod froze. I've tried resetting it and this still happens. A different ipod has been working fine with the tunecast which makes me think there is nothing wrong with the belkin but the ipod is fine even when plugged into the computer which makes me wonder which one is not working properly. Any ideas????
I am having this exact same issue with my wife's 3g, 8GB nano and her Monster iCarPlay. the Monster unit and the nano worked fine together for a week or two but now the nano locks up when connected to it. You disconnect the nano and it goes back to working fine. I have reset the nano while both connected and not connected to the Monster and have done a restore in iTunes and I am still having the same issue. I called support and they basically told me to buy a new car adapter. I don't believe this is a good solution since the Monster worked with the nano for a couple of weeks when we first got it and the Monster still works fine with both my wife's and my old ipod mini's. Any suggestions?

6 GB iPod Mini discharges when plugged into Mac Mini via USB 2.0 hub
I have a 6 GB iPod Mini and when i connect it to my computer, instead of charging, it discharges. The iPod is connected to a self powered USB 2.0 hub. Does anybody have any ideas of what to do. I need a hub because the Mac Mini only has 2 USB ports and the keyboard and mouse don't work through the hub (well the keyboard it self does but the hub doesn't which the Mighty Mouse is plugged into)
ThanksWhen i say self powered i mean that it has an external power supply (my hub it has two lights, when it is connected to USB and has p\s connected and plugged in a light lights up that has the word "Self" next to it, when it is connected just to USB it has a light that lights up with the word "Bus" next to it.) I am sorry if i confused you (or if i confused myself). About the firewire thing, i am planning to get the next normal iPod Apple releases but the current ones dont support firewire so the new one probably wont either, so i will be in the same boat as i am now when i get a new one.

My charging adapter is fine but when I plug it into the charging port on the macbook it only works if I press down on it and it buzzes slightly. What is wrong and how much will it cost to fix?
Check the charger connection to the MBP. The pins are spring loaded and should be able to move freely. Look into the charge port of the MBP and make certian that there is no dirt or debris inside.
There should be NO noise when connected to the charger. If so, bring the MBP and the charger for a FREE evaluation at an Apple store genius bar.

IPod erases songs when plugged into port.
if anyone happens to know why an iPod shuffle would erase the songs off of it every time it plugs into the computer, can you let me know? It's really annoying me. It's probably just a setting I'm missing, but I'm unable to check right now. Thanks a lot.
Hi latriste,
I had the same problem when I thought I could delete songs from my hard drive and connect my shuffle (with those songs still on it). When I did connect my shuffle, it updated itself, and the songs I didn't have on my HD were deleted from my shuffle.
Apparently, a shuffle is different from the other ipods because you can't set it to 'manually update' itself.
Here is my recent thread where I asked a similar question:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=476453&tstart=0
In short, with a shuffle, you need to keep all your music on your computer for it to stay on your ipod.

IPod error message when plugged into Macbook Pro
My iPod will charge to my Macbook Pro for a moment or so then I get an error message stating that "This device or accessory is not supported..yadda yadda yadda" I have never had this happen in the past. Does anyone know how to fix this?
T4,
Then the pods that you have seem not to electrically match with your Mac, as the others that you tried seemed ok, am I right in this understanding?
On the iPhone it has a very unique plug configuration that seems to set specifically for the iPhone, because it is a 4 conductor connector (one is for the microphone) that may make other pods not work properly. (yes this is an Apple thing, AAAAARRRRGGGG!!!!)
But that would then confirm that there is not anything wrong with your Mac, as those Apple pods are for the iPhone, I guess both good and bad news.
I don't use my iPhone to listen to music, nor do I use pods either, unless the artist I am working with is, then I use the same make and model so I can "hear what they hear".
I do pro audio for a living and I can understand this "crosstalk issue with the 4th connector"
But without getting too technical, it would seem your Mac is just fine, which is a good thing.
I would think that the newer Macs will be more compatible with the Apple iPhone pods, but they all seem to have their issues with the switching system...for years now!
Hope this helps you understand this "FRUIT FLY"
My suggestion is to use "regular headphones/ear pods with your Mac and the Apple iPhone pods with the phone. )I only have ever used the iPhone pods with the iPhone when I'm driving, and with only the iPhone. I have much better sounding pods/phones that I use to "ACTUALLY' listen to music with....and it a'int MP3/4

Bose Soundock - Ipod Messing up when plugged into bose
Hi, yeah for my birthday i got a Bose Soundock and when i plugged my ipod into it played fine. Then when i unplugged it from my Bose Soundock, and tried to plug it into my computer, the computer won't recognize it. I have looked under the control panel settings and all the stuff i could do to find it. I need to know if my ipod is screwed forever or if it can be fixed....?
I'm having a very similar problem. Upon first connecting (after iTunes 7 update) my iPod to my Windows notebook, it prompted me to update my iPod. So of course I said ok.... While trying to update the iPod it (the iPod) frooze and didn't install the update. I found a workaround to trick to to install. (Tell it to update it, disconnect for a few seconds and reconnect, it won't freeze and will restart and install the update.)
Anyhow, now that the iPod has been updated to 1.2 software, I get artifacts on the screen (blocks & lines of various colors) and eventually it freezes up. I thought I'd try to restore the iPod, however, doing so did NOT really help. I still get the screwed up screen and frozen iPod! Although, it didn't freeze when it was updating the iPod with all my content (had prior to restoring).
Not sure what Apple did, but they sure messed this one up!!
EDIT: I found this post, which describes exactly what I've been dealing with... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=637616&tstart=0

Ipod touch freezes when plugging into ford escape via aux input (not sync)
My daughter tried to plug her ipod touch into her escape using line-in and it freezes. My son's does not. His is newer than hers. Can I assume a software update will correct her problem? She says she has never updated the ipod software...don't know if its 1st or 2nd generation. Her escape does not have Sync, just an aux input jack.
