My ipod touch 4g will not charge no matter what i plug it in to

and every thing i try will charge every other ipod i have and the troubleshooting doesn't have a fix for it, any suggestions?

Take a moment to reset your iPod....hold down the sleep and home key, past the power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try the trouble shooting again.
If you've replicated the issue with multiple chargers, cords and outlets (enough to rule out any single one of those devices being the source) then I'd make an appointment at your local apple store because it's possible that the charging port on your iPod has gone bad or maybe your battery. Both issues are not user servicible.

- Are you sure you have a 2G iPod and not a 1G? Yucan can itell the difference here by the shape of the black antenna cover on the back of the iPOd.

IPod touch recognizes it is plugged in and has low battery but will not charge no matter what it is connected to! Suggestions????

After a year of owning my iPod touch 4g it suddenly stopped charging on my computer and outlet addapter. It still shows the two pronged plug icon that recognizes the iPod is connected to something but even as the battery level goes below twenty percent it will not charge. Still functions well and even connects to iTunes.

If it is still under warrenty which you can find out from here or if you know it's under one year old bring it to the Apple Store.

My iPod touch 5 will not charge, how can i fix it?

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- 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.

Ipod touch that will not charge or sync

My daughter's ipod touch, just over one year old, will not charge or sync with any computer. We have tried several cables and computers with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Truck stereo will play iPod touch be will not charge it's battery

My truck stereo will play the gen. 4 touch 32 GB, but will not charge it's battery. It did play and charge the battery for the nano 8GB with no problems for several years previously before switching it out with the iPod touch last week. What gives?

Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Brand New iPod Touch 4G will not charge, or turn on

Hello.
I have a brand new iPod Touch 4G, and when I plug it into my computer, nothing happens. My computer for some reason is not reading this iPod Touch;
I have no other way to charge it.
No damage has been done to the product from my observation.
I have tried to restore it, reset it, and other things like that, but iTunes still isn't picking it up, as well as my computer..
I am on a Windows 7 Starter Notebook, with 3 USB ports (that probably are not high-powered), and for some reason it just doesn't want to charge.
I'm going to take it to school with me later to see if it will charge, but in the mean time, do you guys have anything that could possibly get my computer to start reading this iDevice?
thanks,
Matt

I have tried a different machine, and it is not my computer.
I have plugged a different iPod into this charger and it charges just fine.
So, it's the iPod its self.
I read an article somewhere and it said that
If your iPod is formatted to work with Macintosh, windows will not read it.
So, I'm thinking my iPod is formatted for Macintosh, (I cannot format it for windows), because it is completely dead, and it won't turn on.
So, should I try a wall charger as my last resort to try and get it to turn on?!
Thanks,
Matt

My iPod Touch 4g will not charge or sync

I have plugged my iPod into 2 different computers (one mac, one PC) using 2 different Apple iPod cords and I cannot get the iPod to charge. The computer does not recognize the iPod as being plugged in, so I cannot sync either. Basically nothing happens, so I'm worried something is wrong with the dock connector on the iPod! Any suggestions?

- First see if a reset will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.
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.
- Next see if recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last try DFU mode

- After that, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod touch 3g will not charge nor will it connect to the computer.

It won't charge at all. I have no idea how it's still on but for now it is even though it's been saying the battery is less the 20%. It's not the usb adapter/cable, I've tried many. My laptop nor desktop will even acknowledge it at all. I've done resets numerous times and still nothing. I don't know if this means the battery needs to be replaced or not because like I said the iPod is still on after days of not being able to charge.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I forgot to mention the iPod will play on my dock but not charge. I took it in today and it's no longer under warranty so they only offered to take it and give me 10% off a new one.
Thanks anyway!

HT201263 I have an iPod touch which will not charge even after staying on cable for days. It shows the red line on battery, and wont do anything else. Any tips for bringing this back from the dead?

I have done everything suggested by Apple. It does not show up in iTunes. It is a model A1288. It was working fine until the battery ran down. I hate to throw things away.

After charging overnight
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

My iPad 2 will NOT charge, no matter what!

It started about a month after the update and it is getting really annoying. Whenever it is connected (yes, it is with a genuine Apple iPad charger) the lightning bolt will not show up. However, when the ipad is turned off, if the charger is connected it will power on the iPad but just won't charge it. It would also connect to the computer so I could get a very slow charge. So I contacted Apple a few weeks ago and set up my appointment. I drove and hour and a half to my nearest apple store. When I got there they told me that there was NO problem with my battery, only my charger. I had tried using 3 different Apple chargers that were in the house. But it appeared that this was the problem because when the woman plugged in the new charger everything worked fine. I then purchased a new charger and went home. My iPad worked great for about 2 weeks and then I had the same problem again, except this time I have absolutely no way of charging it because it won't even connect to the computer. And also, I have no warranty.. I am so lost! Any suggestions on what I should do is greatly appreciated.

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
