My iPod 5th Generation charger just stopped working??

Both my mother and I have iPod 5's and we've only had them maybe 6 months. I've never had any problems with the charger I have which is the white regular one that came with the iPod when I bought it. Today, when I got home from school, I tried to charge my iPod, but it simply wouldn't charge with the wall adapter. I then tried to plug it in to the computer and it still wouldn't work. I then thought it was the charger, so I tried my spare charger, yet it refused to work as well. I also tried it on my mothers iPod and it would not work either. The cables are not broken, I have just used them today. Also we thought it could have been the wall adapter and we used the standard white one by Apple, yet when we plugged it into the wall it said it was not compatible. I don't understand why they would just stop working out of nowhere, when nothing has been done to render them from working.

So my first iPod 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 months! Please help!!!!

My iPod touch 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 or 3 months. Please help!!!

Then it should still be under warranty, so make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.
If that's not a possibility and you want to troubleshoot, what do you mean by 'just stopped working'? What were you doing? Maybe some more info could help with troubleshooting.

Yes, the Lightning cables do fail sometimes. They are covered by the same one-year warranty as the iPod

There is green mold/corrosion on my iPod 5th Generation charger.

There is green mold/corrosion on my iPod 5th Generation charger, how can I remove this safely ?

Hey Nikki, An iPod classic with iOS 8?!? OK, When you say "Charger" are you talking about the cable or the device that converts the 120 volt power from the wall to something that your iPod can handle? If you mean the cable, replace it, the green gunk is copper oxidation, corrosion. Moisture has gotten in the cable and is causing the cable to fail, replacement is the only thing that will work for certain. If within one year of purchase may be covered under warranty, you could get a free replacement from Apple. If it is just the tip of the cable wipe it off with a tissue and some alcohol. If your talking about the charging port on your iPod or the USB port on the other end, There are cleaning kits, you can purchase, which come with little brushes and pads and a cleaner solution to remove the corrosion. Just follow the instructions to the letter! Otherwise you can try this get bottle of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) 91% and several cotton swabs. You may need to cut / trim the swabs to fit the port openings. Turn your iPod and/or the charging device off. Apply 1 maybe 2 drops of alcohol to the swab, you want it damp, NOT wet! If you get it too wet use a tissue to dry the excess alcohol off the swab. Then insert the swab in and out as if you were plugging it in and out, do not sweep side to side, you risk damaging the contact pins inside the port. Bend or break one and you'll have a real and expensive mess. after 4 or 5 in / out motions, varying the position of the swab from right to left, change swabs, dampen a fresh swab and continue until the swab come out clean. Or take it to Apple or an electronics service shop and let them clean it. When done allow the port to dry a few minutes before turning your iPod on. Good luck, Cheers.

My charger just stopped working. The cord has no visible damage and the plug box works fine with other phone cords. I've had my phone

My charger just stopped working. The cord has no visible damage and the plug box works fine with other phone cords. I've had my phone for less than four months now. Will Apple provide a new charger if theirs is faulty? I have not dropped it in water or anything. It was a normal day and I had 20% battery and I tried to charge my phone and it wouldn't charge. The charging pug box works fine with other phone USB cords so I know its something to do with the charging cord.

Yes.
Everything is included in the warranty.

My charger just stopped working even though the light turns on

My charger just stopped working and I got my laptop less then two weeks ago, the green light turns on then turns orange and shows it is charging but the battery doesn't increase it decreases as if I never had the charger connected, what can I do? I have no insurance for my laptop.

As Csound1 sugessted bring it back and exchange it before the 14 day window expires. Take advantage of it.
You also have a 1 year warranty

I have an iPhone 5s charger just stopped working

My charger just stopped working out of nowhere. Is there anything I can do to fix, or do I just have to go buy another charger?

If you are sure it's the cable (try in with another adapter or a USB port on your computer) you will have to replace it. If the phone is in warranty an Apple store will probably give you one. Possibly even if it isn't in warranty.

My ipod 5th generation charges when connected to my PC but not recognised in itunes with windows 8.1

Why is my ipod 5th generation not recognised in itunes in windows 8.1?Connection to my PC only charges the battery.

Did this iPod previously work with this computer (running Windows 8.1), and does not now for some reason? Or is this the first time (or the first time with Windows 8.1)?
The fact that only the battery charging symbol appears on the iPod screen seems to indicate that the iPod does not recognize a data connection. It's like you are connecting the iPod to USB (wall) power adapter. It is likely that the Windows system also does not see the iPod as a connected device; you should confirm by looking at Device Manager.
You should rule out a faulty USB docking cable. The dock connector has separate connection points for power and data, so it is possible for it to connect to charge the battery but not connect for data. So, if possible, try another docking cable, or try the cable you have with another Apple device.
You should rule out a problem on the USB port. If you connect something else to the same port, does it work properly? Preferably, you should use something similar, like a USB flash drive or port-powered external drive, and try copying over some large files.
If the USB port and docking cable are OK, the cause is more likely to be on the iPod (such as a dock connector that is worn out from use).

The sound of my iPod 5th generation is no longer working

The sound of my iPod touch 5th generation is no longer working. I did not drop it or anything like that. I just noticed that the sound was no longer working but when I plug in my headphones I can hear the sound perfectly. I called Apple today and they told me that I still have a 19 day warranty, they also scheduled an appointment to see if they can replace the iPod. My question is what are the chances of my iPod getting replaced? And if there is something wrong my iPod will they replace?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

IPod - BMW Connector - Mine just stopped working???

My factory BMW/Ipod connector has worked perfectly up until last week (over 1yr). I don't recall updating any software on either my ipod or my itunes software recently.
It just stopped working. When it is plugged into the connector in my vehicle, it is recognizing the power source as it is charging the ipod, however my car won't recognize the ipod anymore.
If anyone has any suggestions on troubleshooting or history of the same thing happening, I would appreciate it!
Thanks!

The same thing happened to me. I have a 40G click wheel model, and it suddenly stopped working. I took it in to MBW, and they said it was my Ipod. But the Ipod works in every other way. I also called BMW, but no help there either. So I tried my daughters 10G dock connector Ipod, and it works! So, I went on ebay and bought a 20G dock connector Ipod, and use it only in my car. Not a great solution, as BMW and Apple should work out this bug. But until then, I will use my backup Ipod, as it is only solution I could come up with. Hopefully it does not also stop working some day!!

Car Charger Just stops working?

well my Griffin car charger has just stopped working with the 4G phone. Still works on my 3GS. The phone still charges with the wall plug that it came with. Anyone else hear of this weird one???

yup that was it.. The bumper has a little plastic piece that stooped the charger from fully seating... So I had to perform surgery on my $29.00 Apple bumper so the accessory that are made for it fit.. Nice...

Ok, so I am on my 3rd charger the 3rd one is literally 6 months old and it just stops working. All of them have... and when I go to the genius bar nobody can help me, they just suggest a buy a new one. Of course, those are over $80 including tax... and I am sick of spending that.

IPod Shuffle Charger Just Stopped Working

My charger just won't work. It doesn't charge my shuffle and the computer won't read that the shuffle is plugged into the computer. (I'm using Windows.) I've only had the shuffle for 5 months, would I be able to send it in to Apple and have them send me a new charger?

Are you referring to the shuffle's dock as the "charger"?
Depending on whether your close to an Apple STore, you could take both shuffle and dock there for analysis and replacement. Have you plugged shuffle+dock into a different computer?
