My iPod 5th Gen (2005-06) will not accept charge when I need to update it. What do I do?

I was recently given an old iPod (5th gen from 2005-06) and I went to update and iTunes told me to charge it on a wall socket to complete the update, however when I plug it in it no longer receives power. It did before the update but now it doesn't and my iPod no longer works. All it does is display an image of a plug going into a wall socket.

I would first try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Firefox is not open, will not open, but when I try to update or uninstall it says I need to close Firefox first. I have exhausted the suggestions on the support page. I have no choice but to use a different browser.

    Firefox is not open, will not open, but when I try to update or uninstall it says I need to close Firefox first. This is a common problem, as I have seen many posts with the same problem. I don't know what else I can say about it, it is pretty straightforward.

  • My password keeps coming back incorrect, I have reset it 3 times now and it will not accept it on my iTunes to update on my phone or pad

    my password keeps coming back incorrect, I have reset it 3 times now and it will not accept it on my iTunes to update on my phone or pad. It obviously is the right password since I was able to log in here...

    Firstly  like King Penguin says log out ,i would clear cookies and history in the safari settings, then I would restart the unit and then open up ITunes and try using the last PW you entered when you changed it.Cookies can be a bugger.

    Seems like battery is faulty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

    Then that means you got the ipod touch 2G because the ipod touch 2G only goes up to iOS 4.2

  • Ipod 5th gen, video 30bg, will sync/restore, won't play

    I am running Windows 7, with all updates (as of 3/14/2014) have itunes 11.1.5.5 showing no available updates. When I plug into the USB port, the ipod gets recognized, Itunes starts. I can see the files on the ipod. I have reset the ipod and restored. Same problem. When I drill down to the actual file I want to listen to, it doesn't play. On the screen the icon changes from pause to the arrow for play, the index line never advances. You can hit the select button, use the scroll wheel to advance through the file, and hit play again, but no noise. There isn't noise if in the dock (which other ipods and iphones work with in the house) there is no noise if the headphones are plugged in. i was thinking harddrive, so I replaced it. couldn't get the new one to function. When the new harddrive was in the unhappy face would come up. I could force into disk mode, in hopes of restoring it, but in disk mode, neither windows and hence itunes would recognize it as an ipod. I put the old hard drive back in thinking maybe I damaged the cable, but it came right up, but with the same problem, it won't play the sounds... I replaced the Zif cable just in case, still the same...
    i've sure seen lots of Ipod 5th gen video for sale on Ebay, compared to the 4th that I had, which I broke the scroll wheel cable on, but never had such problems with it. Any thoughts out there from someone who might know what it's doing? It seems weird that it loads the music files, and deletes the music files but won't play them. The only other thing I can think of perhaps is the battery too low to spin the hard drive up to play? It does seem to be a very small (physically) battery compared to the 4th gen... but it is thicker...
    When I got it it was doing the low power thing, so I did all the steps to re-charge, and restore, but it won't play the files... Thanks for any thoughts!

    It sound like you did some good troubleshooting.  Thanks for providing the details.  I don't think a problem like this is related to the battery. 
    With a 5th gen iPod (early version) that has a 30GB hard drive, it may have problems using a larger capacity hard drive.  That may explain the different problem you had when you replaced the hard drive, if you changed the capacity.
    Try the following test.  Do another Restore from the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  At the end of the Restore process, choose NOT to sync anything automatically. 
    Go to the iTunes Store and download a free song.  You can find the current free songs by clicking Free on iTunes under QUICK LINKS, on the iTunes Store Home screen.
    Manually load that ONE song on the iPod.  Disconnect iPod and try to play that one song.  Does this same problem occur?

  • Itunes will not accept my iphone4 after it was updated recently

    i recently updated my iphone4 and now itunes on my pc will not accept it. I get the message saying itunes will have to be updated. I have tried to update, but doesn't download.

    Hello mzshay2u2,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that you're unable to locate your iPhone within iTunes 12 on your Mac.  First, I'd like you to take a look at the screenshot below, as iTunes 12 changed the navigation of your Library.
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If you do not see your iPhone's icon there, then continue on to the link below.

  • I have an iPod Nano 5th Gen and it will not connect to iTunes after I insert the cable.

    I just received this iPod from a friend and iTuneswill not detect it after I connect it using the cables. All it does is charge the iPod.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • How do I stop iPod 5th gen from syncing Photos, not just music?

    It is so long since I used my old iPod that I've forgotten how to select what I want and don't want to be downloaded.
    When I synced it, it started downloading over 1000 photos from iPhoto.  All I want to do is add an album I purchased from the iTunes store and a new playlist in iTunes.  I can't even tell what it's downloading because all I see is a kind of flashing Do Not Enter sign with "Do not disconnect." 
    How am I supposed to know what it's downloading and when it's finished?
    Help!

    I would have a look at your iPod's User Guide for assistance on the different syncing preferences you can set up with your iPod and the different content that can be synced to it.

  • IPod 5th Gen. froze, shutdown, and won't charge how do I fix it?

    Please help me figure out what to do to fix my iPod 5th Generation. I put it on the charger, and when I came to check on it, it froze, then shutdown, now it won't charge or nothing. I tried rebooting it an nothing happened, please help me!

    All you need to do to solve this problem is to hold down the lock and home buttons at the same time and count slowly to 15. That's called a hard reset and it should reboot the phone out of the black screen funk. Give it a try - it should work. If it doesn't, bring it to the Apple Store. Good luck!

    I have windows vista 64. I already have flash player13 and reader x 10.1.9 but I can not get FLASH back.
    It wasn't working on youtube. So I tried to update it. Went to adobe and clicked the yellow button to check to see if I had adobe flash. It said I didn't have it installed. I then went to control panel and checked programs and IT WAS installed. So I deleted it. Then went back to adobe page and tried to re-install the newest flash player.
