My iPod touch 4g won't charge of the wall or computer?

My 4th gen. iPod touch will not charge off the wall or connect to a computer to charge. The computer doesn't even recognize my iPod but it does recognize an iPhone on both the wires we have. Neither wire works on my iPod though. I've tried all the apple solutions but it made no difference. I suspect the software may have corrupted when I plugged it into my computer because it was working earlier off the wall. I can't format it through settings for some reason. Also it wont even turn on it just sits ont he apple icon indefinantly.

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.
- 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 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.

  • My iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. HELP!

    My 4th generation iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. I tried buying a new cable and USB charging socket (and I bought one made by Apple), but that did not fix the problem. I restored it from iTunes, hoping that would work as well, but that failed. I am at my wit's end. Can anybody here help me? I've bought new equipment, tried rebooting, restoring, etc. but nothing so far has proven successful. If anyone's got a solution, please help!
    Thanks!

    All I can suggest is the standared fixes. It seems very strange
    - 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.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Bring the cable and Apple wall charger too.

  • 2005 ipod classic and it will not take charge in the wall or computer.

    Hello, i have a 2005 ipod classic. It wont take charge in the wall or computer. it only works with the car charger/player and before it works it take about 15 seconds to boot. when plugged in wall or computer it only says please wait very low battery and it will sit like that for hours. I've replaced the battery once before and it worked for a month then it started doing this again. is there any way to get it working by doing it myself?

    Replacing the battery is a rather delicate operation best left to the Apple techs.  If you do any damage Apple will not touch it or give any help, even on a device out of warranty.  It sounds like a new battery is in order.

  • IPod touch 5g won't charge/turn on?

    I just got a brand new iPod touch 5g this month for my birthday. I've had it for a little over a week and it has been working perfectly. I went on a trip to Kansas City this weekend, and used my ipod during the ride up there. It drained the battery substantially, and it must have died. When I got home to charge it, I plugged it into my computer and waited for iTunes to recognize the device, but it won't. When I try to do anything on the iPod, this image appears:
    and then it vanishes after a few seconds.
    When I go to turn the iPod on, it won't. And now it won't charge and the above image is the only thing that appears when I try to do anything. I've tried plugging it in and waiting for periods of time, but that didn't work. I've tried restoring it, but whenever iTunes downloads "iTunes Software Update" I get an error message when it's finished downloading.
    What is wrong with the iPod? Is the battery defective? Is there a way I can fix this at home or do I have to take it in to Apple? Or is there a simple solution to this that I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • Ipod touch frozen, won't charge or connect with itunes

    My ipod touch is 8 months old and is frozen. It just has the battery charge icon on display, have tried to restart holding the sleep / wake button and the start button but I still only get this icon. It won't charge when attached to my computer using the usb lead and it will not link to itunes. I have some photos on it which  I do not want to lose. What can I do?

    Could be a Battery problem... If so you will need to take it in to the Apple Store or AASP...

  • My IPod Touch 4g won't charge or sync, how do I fix it?

    I had my IPod Touch 4 generation for 2 years now and suddenly my ipod won't connect to my laptop nor to any other computer source in my household. Before my IPod would only sync and not charge, so I would had to figit with the sync cable connected to my IPod just so I can make it charge and sync at the same time. Now it won't do either and my laptop doesn't even recognize there's a device connected (It doesn't even say "Device has malfunctioned, Computer can't recognize device). I open Device Manager and no IPod connected at all. I tried different sync cables and it's not making any differences. My IPod is drain out of its battery right now and when I connected, the IPod screen stays blank and when I click the power button, All it tells me is that my battery is low and i need to connected to a power source to charge it even though I have it connected to my laptop
    Now I have this feeling that there is something wrong with my IPod, but I don't know what it is. is it: Old Age, The Battery's dead and needs to be replaced, The place, on the IPod, where you connect the syncing cable to the ipod is broken? I have no idea and I have things in my IPod that I need to get urgently. So is there anyway to fix this or do I have to go to an apple store and see what they can do
    Thank you for all your help, I gladly appreciate it

  • IPod touch 4g won't charge

    Hello,my iPod touch 4g is fairly new but for some reason it just won't charge. I replaced it the 1st time back in April,because it was very cracked and I got a new one but this one isn't working that well. When I plug in the ipod it shows the red low battery sign and the lightning sign but when I leave it on the usb charger to charge its still on the low battery sign with the lightning under. I've tried to reset,but when I do the screen flashes white and shows the same red low battery sign and the lightning sign. After that I tried to restore and it itunes recognizes the ipod trying to restore itself and the screen turns a bright white,and then the apple logo comes up. After that,the apple logo flashes off and the same red low battery signal with the lightning symbol shows up and I get error 3194 or 1604. I've tried using more than one computer and more than one usb plug. I don't know what to do anymore please help me.
