My ipod nano 5th generation will not charge or turn on?

I have tried holding the centre button and menu button but nothing seems to be happening. My ipod doesn't seem to respond to anything.

You need a new battery.

  • My Ipod nano 4th generation will not charge or turn on! Please help

    I bought a refurbished Ipod nano 4th generation 2 weeks ago from a good reliable ebay seller. It arrived and was in great working order with no issues what so ever. However this evening I realised it was out of battery, so I went to charge it and nothing. No light up, no recognition of it being plugged into the PC or when I try via a plug socket. I have contacted the seller about this asking for a refund as I have not done anything or put it anywhere that it would die like this. However I thought before I try to send it back I would try here and see if anybody knows what may be wrong with it.
    Thanks

  • My ipod nano (5 generation) will not charge.

    My ipod nano (5 generation) will not charge. Sometimes, if I connect it to the computer, turns on and appears on the screen a battery. Other times I connect it, and will not turn on anything. If you load it, I can use it, but if I turn off the ipod, after does not turn on. I tried to reload it with an outlet to the current, but does not turn on. Can I fix it? How much does it cost?

  • My iPod nano 5th generation will not turn on or charge. What is going on??

    Yesterday, after listening to my iPod, I forgot to lock it and it died. When I tried to charge it, however, the screen would not even light up. I then connected it to my computer just to see what it would do (I have a wall charger) and my computer recognized it but itunes did not. The screen stayed black. Do I need a new battery, or is something else going on?

  • Ipod, nano 4th generation, will not charge using my PC or my dock.  It's 5 years old and has charged using both methods since I got it.

    My ipod will not charge when connected to my dock or my computer.  I will play when connected to both.  I have tried both USB ports, checked the connections on my dock (power light is on) and it will just not charge. 

    Howdy Crickety22,
    Using the USB cord in different locations is a great way to help isolate this kind of issue. Since you have done that, the next step I would recommend is testing a different USB cable with the device.
    Check out this info from the article named Archived - iPod's battery doesn't charge found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ta44551
    Faulty cable
    If something is wrong with the FireWire or USB cable that came with iPod, it may not supply any power to charge the battery. Note: Only iPod models with a Click Wheel can get power from a high-powered USB port using the supplied cable (includes iPod mini, iPod (Click Wheel), iPod photo, iPod with color display, iPod nano, and Fifth Generation iPod).
    Make sure you are using the cable that came with iPod. Some third-party cables may not work properly with iPod.
    Make sure nothing is in or blocking your computer's FireWire or USB ports.
    Check the connections to make sure the cable is completely plugged in.
    Try another known-good FireWire or USB cable if available.
    If this resolves the issue your FireWire or USB cable needs to be replaced. You can arrange for replacement at theiPod Service Website.
    And this part as well:
    Faulty dock connector or FireWire port on iPod
    If something is wrong with iPod's FireWire or Dock Connector port, it may not supply power to iPod.
    Make sure nothing is in or blocking iPod's FireWire or Dock Connector port.
    Check the connection to make sure the FireWire or Dock Connector cable is completely plugged in.
    If this did not resolve the issue iPod needs to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.

  • My iPod nano (5th generation) will not turn on, reset, or be recognized by my macbook or ipod dock

    My iPod won't reset, I've toggled the lock button and held down both the center and play and the center and menu buttons.  Also, my computer and dock do not recognize it when I plug it in.  I tried plugging it in to a new port on the macbook, but nothing changed.  Since it does not turn on by itself, when plugged into a computer, or when on a dock, I'm assuming it's interior problems.  I have not dropped it or gotten it wet at all.  What should I do?  Thanks!

    How long have you left the iPod to charge?  It can take up to 30 minutes for the iPod to power on or show any signs of life.  How long did you press and hold the Select (Center) and Menu buttons to reset the iPod?
    It might not to also make use of another USB sync cable if you have one laying around to rule out the possibility of a faulty/damaged cable.

  • IPod Nano 7th Generation will not turn on

    Have changed USB ports, from computer to AC powered USB charging station.
    Help?

  • HT1459 MY IPOD NANO 6TH GENERATION WILL NOT TURN ON I GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS AND PLAYED THE RADIO ON IT WITH OUT PLUGING IT INOT ITUNES AND I WAS WONERING HOW TO FIX IT ?

    hi my ipod nano 6th generation will not turn on what should i do ...no batery left and never pluged it into itunes

    Hi meganisawsome,
    If your iPod will not turn on and you are getting indicators that there is no battery left, the first step would be to make sure that the iPod has been charged correctly. You may find the following article useful:
    Apple Support: Charging your iPod battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1384
    If you are still having issues after charging, you may want to look at this article:

  • My ipod nano 6th generation will not turn on.

    My iPod nano (6th generation) will not turn on. I have charged it (attached to my computer) for 30 minutes. I have tried to reset it (held down Wake and Volume Down for 8 seconds)- no response. I have factory restored it (through iTunes)- no response. It shows up as connected to my computer and will sync in iTunes, but the display on the iPod will not turn on. Any ideas?

    Hey s.mccarter2010,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have tried a lot of things and the iPod still will not turn on. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iPod won't turn on
    If you have tried the solutions above and iPod still won't turn on, check the following:
    Make sure iPod is the only device in your FireWire or USB chain. Disconnect everything but the mouse, keyboard, and your iPod, then see if it will turn on.
    Make sure you are using the FireWire or USB cable that came with your iPod, and that the cable is in good condition.
    Try connecting iPod to the built-in port of a different computer to see if that works. Note: If using a portable computer, make sure it is plugged in to a power source and that the lid or display is open. If the lid is closed the computer may go into either standby, sleep, or hibernation mode and iPod will not charge properly.
    If you still can't turn iPod on after performing these steps, it may need to be repaired. You can arrange for repair at the iPod Service Website.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • My ipod touch 5th gen will not charge

    My ipod 5th generation will not charge, I have 4 different chargers that I have tried 2 of which have adapters on them hanging them from 4th gen ipod chargers to 5th. I now know that it is a problem with my ipod. Has anyone experienced the same problem?  And is it fixable?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use. I assume you meant cables when you said chargers
    - 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.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

    Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

    Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.
