My ipod isnt charging with amazon lighting.

So recently my apple Ipod charger brokeand i bought an amazon brand lighting charger. While waiting my ipod died. So when the amazon charger arrived I plugge it in. I waited an hour and nothing has happened. It looks like a battery with 3 tiny red bars in it. It also does not sync. Am I able to fix it without going to a store? Or do I just need to buy an apple lighting charger?

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

My ipod touch 4th generation isnt charging with my cable. When i use my dad´s cable, it charges. But, however, after it´s fully charged (which takes strangely only a minute), i use it for five seconds and then it goes off. What should i do?

HT1476 Will the ipod touch charge with a wall charger? I tried to use a wall charger by Nook and it didn't work.

Will the ipod touch charge with a wall charger? I tried to use a NOOK wall charger, but the ipod touch wouldn't charge.

Likely the Nook charger does not provide enough power to charge the iPod with the screen on. You can try leaving the charger connected overnight (iPod sleeping) and see if it is charged in the morning.

IPod Touch: charging with Windows 2000 SP3?

Hello,
I've got an iPod Touch 2nd generation, and I'm a mac user.
At work, I have a Windows 2000 PC, Service Pack 3. I wanted to use this windows machine to charge (with USB) my Touch, but it didn't work directly. So I tried to download iTunes, but it requires SP4 at least.
What can I do? The PC isn't able to give energy to the USB port, if the device isn't recognized?
Thanks for any help
Frederic

The following applies to XP and I assume Vista, but I am not sure if this option was in 2000 or not. But you can check...
Well one thing you can try it telling you computer to leave the USB ports on all the time. XP (and I assume Vista) has a power saving mode where the USB ports are powered down if they are not in use by the operating system. I think that is the default mode. This is more of a setting beneficial to Laptops, but if you have a desktop, you might want to disable to power saving modes.
Start -> Control Panels -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device manager
In the window that opens, expand (click on the sign) next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
You will see a number of things in that list. You want to RIGHT-Click on the "USB Root Hub" one. I am not sure if you have more than one if they still point to the same one, but open and change each to be sure. Anyway, right-click it, in the pop up menu pick Properties. In the next screen, pick the Power Management tab. There is a check box to "Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power". I think default is checked, so that the ports power down. You want to unselect that box forcing your USB ports to stay powered up all the time.

If the iPod does not work
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- 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.

Help. about the ipod nano charged with usb 1.1

i just got the ipod nano. now i am charging it. according to the mannul, it will take 3hr to charge it by usb 2.0.
considering i only have usb 1.1, so my question is how long it wil take to charge the nano. until i wait for 6hr and the screen still shows do not disconnect. i can transfer the music and image to the nano. thanks.

Sorry, I'm not really sure how long the charge will take with USB 1.1, but I'd guess it would be way longer that "twice as long".
The "do not disconnect" will show as the display until you eject the iPod thru iTunes.
Now here the tricky part since I don't have a 1.1 USB. If you eject it thru iTunes, I believe the screen will show if it is still charging or "charged". So when you know you need to charge it, plug in to the `puter, then eject and leave it connected, to see what happens.
I do recommend getting the USB power adapter. For USD30.00, it is really worth it. Well, for me at least. I charge regularly (4 times a week) and only plug into my computer to add more music (maybe once a month). Your usage may be different, but it is so easy to come home and just plug it into the dock (plugged into the wall).

4th Gen Ipod only charges with power block

I have 3 different 4th gen ipods, 2 of which will charge up when hooked to USB, firewire, and both my aftermarket Imode stereo and wireless car transmitter/charger.
One of the 4th gen ipods I have will only change when hooked with a firewire cable to the power block. It will not charge in any other manner. Is this a problem with the circuitry inside the ipod or something else? The battery seems to hold its charge just fine otherwise.

One of the 4th gen ipods I have will only change when hooked with a firewire cable
Are you sure it is also a 4G iPod? A 3G iPod (does not have click wheel) can only charge using FireWire. If they are all identical looking 4G iPods (with click wheel), the one that does not change over USB probably has a problem with it's USB charging connection. You could try using the Restore button in iTunes, but it seems like a hardware issue.

IPod classic charger with iPhone 3g ???

I will be receiving a 3g phone tomorrow. I have a question concerning chargers. Will the charger I have for my iPod Classic video 30GB work with the iPhone 3g??

Even though the connectors might be the same, they probably charge differently and use different levels of voltages. You can try it out and see if it will work, it shouldn't damage the device or anything, it will probably say it won't work if anything.
Not true. ALL USB ports and chargers provide 5 volts nominal (actually 4.5 to 5.5). Wall chargers provide 1 amp; computers are only required to provide 0.5 amp, but most newer ones provide 1 amp. The only difference is that 0.5 amp will take twice as long to charge the phone.
Firewire is different; there was a range of voltages that Firewire chargers would provide, so they were not interchangeable. But the iPhone doesn't work at all with Firewire so it's not an issue.

IPod clickwheel charger with iPod Nano?

I have an iPod, the first one with the clickwheel, and now im thinking of buying a Nano and wanted to know if i will be able to use the charger i got with the old iPod with the Nano. The charger i have is the knid that you connect to the iPod with a FireWire cable. Thanks!
Windows XP

Yes, you can use this charger. Although the nano won't transfer data via firewire, it will charge.

Can i use my US ipod touch charger (with adaptor) in Norway without burning out my iTouch?

We have a 2nd Gen and 4th Gen iPod Touch. Can we charge them safely in Norway using our usual charger plugs that came with them, after adapting the plug to fit the wall, of course?

Yes, the chargers are auto-switching universal voltage (all Apple power supplies are so). All you need is the plug adapters to fit the wall sockets.
