My iPod 4th generation isn't charging?

I let it die off completely, and I plugged it into the charger and it turned on but it doesn't show that it is charging???

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My ipod (4th generation) will not charge.I have tryed a wall cherger and charging on different computers.Nothing! what should i do?

help me my ipod 4th generation will not charge. i have tryed a wall ataptor an other computers.What should i do? Should i get a new ipod or should i try and get a new charger and see if that helps.It has not been changing for two weeks straight now .Help Please.

Either your USB cable for the charger has been damaged or the part of the iPod where you insert the USB cable is damaged. This usually happens due to water damage or carelessly removing the USB plug off from the iPod. Hope this clears some doubts
You might also wanna try and check with the Genius Bar at Apple, they usually know whats wrong.

My ipod 4th Generation will not charge on my bose soundock 10

Hi
I have never wrote on a forum before please help. I brought The ipod 4th generation when they first come out in 2010 and brouught the sounddock 10 shortly after in the same year all worked perfect no problem, untill last week when the dock stopped charging the ipod everything else works plays music etc just won't charge. ipod seems fine. as it charges up via socket charger. went into local apple shop in birmingham city (not very helpfull) they said it not a problem with the ipod must be the dock. They suggested I did a Firmware update on the dock which I did from the bose website but It says my dock has the latest softwre already and the problem is still the same. PLEASE HELP as the apple store just don't want to know.

If it worked before with iOS 5.1 then try the standard fixes.

My iPod 4th generation isn't working as it should be

Ok so, I've had my iPod 4th generation, version 6.1.6, 32GB, for about 2 years now, and it WAS completely fine.. But then it started getting slower and slower until some apps started crashing, I thought it was normal at first, thinking it was just because it was getting old, but by the start of 2014 my home button was starting to not work properly, more apps started crashing and it started getting so slow to the point that it was useless! then about a month or two after this year started, none of my apps worked e.g. If I went on a game it would only last about 5 mins then crash, or if I went on Facebook, Instagram, pic collage or any other type of app.. They would just crash In the matter of 5-10 mins. At first it was only the downloaded/purchased apps that did this.. But now even apps like camera, photos, maps, music and App Store crash to... And also my home button has completely stopped working, you can feel that the button doesn't press down anymore either.
so, I've heard ways to fix the problem by looking at all the other questions asked,But all of them are by resetting the iPod; and still keep all the apps although the data in them will go, or switching it off and on and stuff like that... But I've tried everything! Apart from resetting the iPod like new because I don't want to lose any of the data in the apps (and not just stuff like dates and written information, but game progress, and stuff on the actual purchased app).. I don't mind about the home button being broken because I've got that round circle thing on the screen to use.. It's just the fact that I can't go on any of the apps anymore and that the iPod is completely useless.. Please someone help? Anyway to fix this?

Did you restore from backup?
Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod since maybe you have some corruption in the backup

Ipod 4th generation will not charge or play on any of our docking stations

Hi my son has an ipod touch and it will not charge or play on any of our docking stations. We had an appointment today at the 'genius' bar and i was told there is not a problem with his device!, I am at a loss as my daughters ipod plays on all our docking stations so why not my sons? Any help or advice would be great as the person at the apple store was not that helpful and i am left feeling very frustrated.

- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Sometimes this works
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Last, go back to the Genius Bar and bring a dock.

Help!My ipod 4th generation won't charge, turn on or appear in itunes!

I've only had my ipod shuffle a few weeks for running. I had it on charge on my work PC all day, when it came to running home it wouldn't play.
The things I have tried;
Held down on 'play' button for a few seconds, it beeps flashes green but nothing happens.
I've try to restore .. switch off, wait ten seconds, turn on - nothing happens.
I've plugged it into my laptop - red light appears and then nothing.
I'm all out of ideas, as it doesn't show up on my computer, nor in i-tunes I can't reset it as per the help support guidelines ... !
Can anyone help me? I'd be forever grateful!

If the red light is shown when connected, that may indicated the USB port is not providing sufficient power to operate the shuffle and charge its battery. If your computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter, so that it's not running on battery power. If you are using a hub, try connecting the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer, by itself, with no other USB devices connected.
The cause may also be a problem on the shuffle with charging. It is under warranty for one year from purchase date.
NOTE: The shuffle is not waterproof, or even water resistant. It is best to wear it clipped to a location that has air circulation, like shirt sleeve, to minimize prolonged contact with sweat.

My iPod 4th Generation is malfunctioning. What do I do?

My iPod 4th Generation isn't working. I was charging it last night and it was perfectly fine, although it was acting up earlier in the day.
My dad gave it to me and it was pretty hot and the screen was an immaculate white. Then, the screen was flashing. I tried to charge it for a while but it didn't do anything. I took the case off and it was lightly wet, due to my bag.
Next morning- The iPod screen was dark, as if it was dead. I tried to charge it for a bit, but I still got no results.
I can't turn it off, on or reset it because my home button is jammed, so I use accessibility. Nothing works when I press the Home button.
If anybody has a solution, I'd appreciate it. I have only had my iPod touch for a bit over 1 and a half years. I have become very close to it though and it was a good "friend" to me (so to say).
If you have any alternate solutions, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks,
- Aaron

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPOd in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
or
http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- 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.

Why won't iPod 4th Generation Click Wheel 40gb (non-photo) charge?

I have an old but much-loved iPod 4th Generation Click Wheel 40gb (non-photo model) that I keep on a charging dock. Yesterday the screen went blank and it refuses to charge, so I assume the battery is dead.
Can anyone tell me if that's the reason? If so, exactly what replacement battery I should get? I've found replacement batteries listed for the iPod 4th Gen 40 GB photo and the 4th Gen 20 GB, but don't know if they'll fit. Thanks so much for any information out there!

hmm - curiouser and curiouser
I've now managed to get it to manually update (after iTunes took 100% of system resources and I had to force quit it...) but that still doesn't really help me with the auto-sync feature which still won't work
aaaaaaggggggghhhhh

My iPod touch (4th generation) isn't responding to anything I do.

My iPod touch (4th generation) isn't responding to anything I do. It's been like this since 2pm this afternoon (5 hours). On the screen, there is the Apple logo and nothing else. When I connected my iPod to the computer, iTunes didn't recognize it and my iPod didn't change at all. What should I do?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port just in case
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
