  • My ipod 5th gen wont charge or turn on when plugged into the wall or on my docking station

    I have had my iPod for around a year now and it has been perfectly fine........until now. I came home from work to find my iPod was turned off, I assumed that it had just run out of charge. I plugged it in to charge using the power adapter and nothing happens when I put it to charge on my docking station?
    Can anyone help? Or does it look like a new iPod is on the cards?
    Thanks

    - 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.

  • IPod 5th gen not charging

    Hello guys. Today I connected my iPod 5th gen to the charger and I noticed it wasn't charging. This started today. Someone please help me. I appreciate every tip and help I recieve.

    Hey Suhey, first inspect the charging port, your looking for foreign debris, lint, dirt etc. anything that could be blocking an electrical connection, if you see something try to carefully remove it. Just be careful not to touch or bend or damage the pins. If you must use a wooden toothpick to remove any foreign debris from the port and inspect the port for visible damage, cracks, missing pieces, etc. If not the issue, then try a different cable. The lighting cables have a history of breaking, shorting out. They will look just fine, but not work. If not the issue with the new cable try a different charging device. If still not working, attempt a reset, press and hold both the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds +/-, then release both buttons.  If you can still turn on your iPod go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still not charging connect to your computer and make backups of the stuff you have on your iPod then Restore from Backup last resort, Restore to New. If that doesn't work try letting your iPod drain completely, go dead then attempt to charge. If still not working, contact your Apple store or Apple Genius Bar and have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

  • HELP... iPod 5th gen wont play on docking station

    We have 2 iPod 4th gen nano's and both play perfectly well on the docking stations, one being great quality one. The 5th gen nano plays but only with internal speakers even tho connected to docking station....Help.

    Did you ever get it to work or does anyone know a reasonably priced docking station that is compatible? I got an Ipod Nano 5G for Christmas. Followed all the instructions and trouble shooting with the same problem. Plays great on the ear buds, but only get scratchy internal speaker when placed on a docking station. I ended up exchanging the ipod. The new one does the same thing. I bought an iHome H10 that is supposed to be compatible, so I assumed it was the Ipod. Im really disappointed in this. The benefit of Apple is the easy transition and compatibility. You shouldn't have to test a hundred docking stations to get one to play an ipod.

  • My ipod 5th generation wont charge after ios 8 update .. does this have something to with the charger not being an apple product?

    Before the update my iPod was charging fine. then when I updated it started acting funny like one minute it would charge then it wouldn't then the next after IOS 8 came out my iPod wouldn't charge at all. could it be that my charger isn't an apple product? PLEASE HELP!!!  I have important notes from school on here and I'm afraid to ask my mother for a new one without giving her a good explanation.

    Could be that the update make the iPod more aware of marginal cable. Other users have reported the same.

  • IPod 5th gen stopped charging in the middle of a charge.

    I was charging my iPod touch last night and in the middle of the charge, it stopped and gave me the "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPod."  It'll do this even when I plug the charger into the port but not to any power source.  It's now almost dead and I really need my iPod to charge. I've already tried resetting and clearing the debris out of the port.  I'm not sure what else to do.
