My ipod classic will not charge or turn on

MY IPOD CLASSIC WILL NOT CHARGE OR TURN ON

Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire power adapter or FireWire-based car charger.
Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
Try another USB port.
Try charging from a USB charger if available.
If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.
Learn more about charging the battery.

  • HELP!! Ipod touch will not charge or turn on

    My ipod touch will not charge or turn on. I think the battery went dead, but now it won't even turn on or charge. My computer does not even recognize that it is plugged in. I have tried to charge it on other devices and get the same result. Can anyone help?

    TRY GEORGE GUERRERO'S ANSWER FIRST.
    Plug it into the computer for about 15 minutes.
    If it starts to turn on after about 15 minutes then unplug it.
    As it is turning on hold down BOTH THE POWER AND THE HOME BUTTON on the itouch for 15 seconds, or until it flashes white or just turns back off.
    Then RELESE THE POWER BUTTON BUT STILL HOLD DOWN THE HOME BUTTON.
    Then plug it back in.
    The computer should reconise your ipod.

  • Ipod touch will not charge or turn on.

    My daughter's ipod touch got wet. Now it will not charge. I have set it in rice. And now it has set for a least 2 months. Help????

    I've been having a problem like this, and I'm posting this for those looking for a solution like mine, but not finding the same problem and fix.
    One day, my Touch would not turn on. I plugged it into the cable connected to the usb port - the same one it always charges with.  The low/red battery icon appeared with the little lightning symbol below.  It's done that before, fine, but this time, it went straight to the apple icon. 
    I'd tried everything, but could not find a solution. No one seemed to have my problem.  Then I found this today, and it solved my problem: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • HT1384 iPod Classic will not charge from wall outlet

    My iPod Classic 80G will charge from my computers and my iHome dock, but not from the wall outlet. The cord, outlet, and adapter all work. We know the regular adapter works, it's an Apple universal USB to wall adapter that charges our iPad. We tried other cords (have two), other outlets, and even my kindle 2-prong adapter. Nothing worked. Suggestions?

    Hello there, Anhaja.
    First off, great job in your isolating steps performed already. One step that wasn't mentioned is found in the following Knowledge Base article:
    How to reset iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    For your particular model:
    How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Help my Ipod will not charge or turn on.

    My Ipod touch will not charge, or turn on.  First it was just giving me the apple logo, then I attempted to restore, but a message appeared an error occurred(9).  I went to error code 9 and did what was suggested and it still does not work.

    Did you try restoring on another computer as recommended by:
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?

    My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?
    When i plug it in to my compuer it shows an empty battery with the charge symbol then after a while it shows the apple logo like it is turning on then nothing happens and it goes back to the battery.

    I haven't left it overnight to charge. Is there a difference between letting it charge overnight and an hour or two with no results? The ipod does not even recognize that the cord is attatched.
    I left it on my dresser in my bedroom.

  • My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then showing the apple logo?

    My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo.  I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in.  It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off?  Any other suggestions?

    I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
    I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.

    Go through the steps here and see if anything works for you.

    You might have to bite the bullet and restore the device if nothing else works. If that doesn't bring it back to life, make an appointment at an Apple Store and let take a look at it.

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

    - 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.

  • Ipod classic is not charging.

    My iPod Classic is not charging. I had it charged for a whole day and never charges. It will only turn on when plugged in. What can I do to get this work again.

    Most likely the iPod battery is dead.
    If you connect the iPod to a USB2.0 port and reset it, what do you see on the iPod Screen. Can you get to the Music menu and play music? or do you get the "Do not disconnect screen"?
    Have  a nive day!

  • Ipod Classic will not shut off

    Ipod classic will not shut off. Have held menu/select until apple logo appears, no change

    Menu/Select is to reset the device, not turn it off. You need to press and hold the Play/Pause button until the display turns off.  Then activate the hold switch.

  • My 5 year old iPod classic will not play on my Yamaha CRX-332 cd receiver but my 3 year old iPhone 3g will.  Any suggestions to get my iPod to read the receiver or get the receiver to read the iPod?

    My 5 year old iPod classic will not play on my Yamaha CRX-332 cd receiver but my 3 year old iPhone 3g will.  Any suggestions to get my iPod to read the receiver or get the receiver to read the iPod?  The receiver should be able to play the iPod with a USB connection or with the iPod dock.  Neither works with my iPod however both work with my iPhone 3g.  The iPod has the latest software.  Any thoughts?

    If it is a 5-year old iPod, there is the possibility that the receiver simply won't work with the older software (there hasn't been an iPod Classic software update in years). You might try contacting Yamaha support (or doing a google search) to see if it is a known issue. One solution (probably the easiest) is to get a cable that connects a min jack (i.e., a headphone jack) to stereo cables, and just connect the iPod up that way. You eliminate the risk of corrupting the iPod, and it is a solution that should always work. Just use a wall charger to power the iPod.
