My ipod touch 5G wont charge OR SYNC!! what do i do???

hello, I am in desperate need of help. My ipod wont charge or hook up to my computer.
My old ipod charger broke so i got a new cheaper off-brand one, and shortly after i plugged it in it told me that this cable was not registered and it may not work with the ipod. Well, it didnt. it would not charge nor sync with my computer. but anyway, my dad took it back and whilst i was using his, the same message appeared on my screen. Now it wont sync or charge with the apple charger. WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?!?

I think this is no longer an iOS issue; it's more of a hardware problem now.
The problem was probably caused by using a non-original charger. These aren't genuinely from Apple, so they may not have been manufactured the right way. They may have deformed or unaligned the pins inside your iPod's charging socket. Because I think it's kind of impossible for the charger to cause any software problems.
Bring your iPod to a nearby Apple store as soon as you can! Have somebody take a look and determine what the real problem is.

  • Whats wrong with my ipod touch it wont charge or turn on

    my ipod wont turn on i put it on charge it wont charge or anything.  HELP

    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.

  • Ipod touch 5 wont charge since 7.1.2 update

    i have a ipod touch 5 but since i updated it it wont charge, i have bought a new cable and it charges my sisters ipod 5 what has not been updated, it says charger is accepted when its off but when it turns back on it doesn't work, i have reset my ipod too what can i do since its not recognized by my itunes? and btw i have left it plugged in over night turned off to see if it would work and it never i have been patient with apple with their crappy chargers but this is too far and i do not see any other questions like this, please someone help

    I had the same exact problem, iOS 7.1.2 blocks 3rd party chargers, and i was using one
    Assuming you also are using a 3rd party charger, here is a way to charge your ipod touch that i discovered after some experimentation.
    Step 1.) Plug lightning cable into the ipod touch and a 5 watt wall plug(or computer).
    Step 2.) Power off the ipod(This shuts down ios and prevents it from detecting the 3rd party charger).
    Step 3.) Wait an hour or two.
    Step 4.) Unplug the iPod touch
    Step 5.) Power on the device.
    This should work, it worked for me, just note you will not be able to sync your ipod touch with itunes, and i recommend purchasing a "certified" apple lightning cable.

    Updated my ipod touch now it wont charge in my docking station help!!!!!

    Some user's have resolved the problem by:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    For others you have to wiat for an firmware update from either Apple or the dock manufacturer.

  • Help. My iPod Touch 4G wont charge.

    My charger broke 2 weeks ago and my iPod got drained. Yesterday, I bought new ones but when I plugged it to my iPod, it wont open. Normally, it would show the charging symbols but it unfortunately, it didnt. I tried my new charger with my iPad 2 and it worked. Im not sure what the problem is, if it is the charger or the charging slot or the iPod. Ughh. Please help me. Really need your help. :(

  • Ipod touch does not charge and sync/appear in Itunes or on my computer - But will charge when plugged into the mains?!

    Hi
    I have a IPod touch 32GB, but im having a few problems with it.
    When i plug it into the computer its doesn't charge or appear in ITunes and 'my computer'.  However when i plug it into the mains it charges!
    Any idea what's happening the my iPod?!   Any help to save my precious iPod would be very helpful!

    If the cable works from a wall charger, then I'd try a different USB port, verify your USB ports support USB 2.0 (may be a setting in BIOS), or try a different computer...
    For the last test, if the computer has iTunes installed, DO NOT SYNCH your iPod!!!

  • New iPod Touch 2g wont charge on Bose soundock

    I just upgraded from the original iPod Touch, it worked and charged great on my Bose soundock. Got to work today with my new touch 2g, put it on my Bose soundock and get this message "CHARGING IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH THIS ACCESSORY" The apple store page says that the Bose Soundock is compatible with the 2g Touch. Anybody have some insight??

    I just got my iPod touch 2g, took it to work, and I got the SAME error when I tried to plug it into my JBL On Stage II speaker...then I got in my car, only to get the SAME error when I plugged it into my Peripheral iPod car adapter, which is hard-wired into my radio.
    ***, Apple....this needs to be corrected, immediately!
    I called 1800APLCARE and was on the phone with them for 30 minutes, and they could not answer my issues. they told me to try another iPod touch 2g and let them know if it doesn't work as well...obviously this is a bigger problem than just my iPod 2g.
    On a side note, i did get a charge when I tried it on a Logitech speaker system...
    Please fix this, Apple. What good is this in my car if it won't charge? (and what good is it at work?)
