My iPod Touch is no longer charging since iOS update

Hi, so I have three iPod chargers, and as far as I know, they should both work perfectly fine. One is super old, I've had it since my first second generation iPod Nano, and one is practically brand new, I've had it for a few months. The new one and the middle one are both store bought chargers, non apple brand, and whenever I try to charge my iPod with these chargers, the same error message comes up, saying that charging is not supported with this accessory. All I can think is, they worked perfectly fine until the latest iOS update. Now, neither are charging my iPod, and I have to use my old iPod charger from my old Nano. This would all be fine if (a) that charger wasn't falling apart with electrical tape holding it together and (b) it wasn't shared with my mother. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this problem with store bought chargers. No way do both of these chargers just decide to stop working around the same time. I'm just wanting to know because I don't want to find out Apple created a new thingy in their update that stops non-apple accessories from working. (They already did that so that my car charger never worked with my new iPod).
Oh, and in case it matters, my iPod is the iPod Touch 4 (bought just a couple months before the iPod Touch 5 came out, so I think it's a 4s).

Does it charge on a computer? Does it appear in iTunes?
If so:
- 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.

- 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!

Who can fix my Ipad 3 because it won't charge since IOS update?

Ipad 3 won't charge since IOS update, who can fix this expensive item?
Thank you

Try a different electrical out.
Make sure you are using the same power adapter and cable that came with the iPad.
And try charging via USB to a computer.
If nothing above helped, reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, restore the device > iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If nothing above helps, take your iPad to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider > Apple - Find Locations

Why is my Ipod touch 4 no longer charging?

My sons IPod touch 4 is about one year old and the charger rarely connects properly so that battery will charge. It aslo seems that the original battery runs out of juice very quickly. Any advice or similar experience?

With use, battery capacity decreases. Also, the newer iOS seem to drain the battery faster.
Have you tried another cable?
Does it charge OK on the computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for foreign material, bend or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic pieces.

Ipod touch stopped syncing with itunes since ios 5 upgrade

Can someone PLEASE ADVISE ME!
I spent off and on 24 hours finally getting my ios 5 update on my ipod touch 4g. When i first upgraded itunes to 10.5, when I tried to upgrade to ios5 the udgrade kept crashing. Then my ipod stopped syncing with itunes. Im on a PC with windows 7 (64-bit). So I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. My ipod coninues to not sync. So, I finally reverted my ipod back to factory settings and then it took like 8 hours total for my ipod to revert, update to ios 5, and then resync my apps, music & vids and settings with itunes. I thought YES EVERYTHING IS GREAT. Starting using ios 5 and was loving it. Till, i wanted to resync with itunes to enable wifi syncing.
Now, everytime i plug in my ipod, it says Syncing my ipod (step 2 of 8) and the stripy thing is moving...and below that it ways Backing up
but then it just keeps saying this for hours. never moves beyond "step 2", So i end up having to open task manager and closing out itunes. Then when i reopen itunes it will freeze up. I uninstalled'reinstalled itunes now 4 times and the same thing happens...the sync never gets beyon step 2...backing up.
WHAT CAN I DO? please help! Desperate

ah now i see your reply in the thread. well, i am sorry yours wont tuen on or even get recognized. *** is going on with this stuff. i really love the ios5 but if i cant sync with itunes im screwed. i dont want to have to pay for more iCloud storage for backing up either!!!
I really hope someone can advise me. Cuz i fear I may have to try and revert back to factory and spend like 6 or 7 hours again trying to resync and re set up my ipod

IPod Touch 4G with 4.3.1 iOS update does NOT seem to work with WEP

I have a new wireless router (1 month old) with current firmware that I have set up with WEP (I know, not great but also have some older laptops that need it). Before the iPod iOS update, everything worked reliably all the time, but after the update "Unable to join the network XXXXXXXX" message was displayed. Post update, iPod works fine on other "public" networks.
So far the only workable solution I have been able to come up with is adding a 2nd unsecured SSID (router will support up to 4) with no broadcast and access limited to the iPod MAC address. If any of the WiFi experts here have other suggestions, I would sure welcome them. Thanks.

WEP and Apple products are only somewhat compatible - as you are finding out. If you create your own passwords, then you have to follow specific rules - 48 bit, 5 characters, 128 bit, 14 characters. Shorter or longer, the password won't work.
If you are stuck with WEP (I'd update the laptops with a USB wireless stick before I used WEP, but that's your decision) try the following:
1. Use the 128 bit setting
2. Either create a 14 character password or use WEP key 1 (that's the hex key) in place of your password on the touch.
You could set up a second wireless access point and, as long as it used a different SSID, setup to run WPA2-AES encryption. That would take care of your modern devices.

HT5192 I can't download any games to my iPod touch it says I need the iOS update 4.3 version what do I do???

I need help trying to see if it is possible to download iOS 4.3 for my iPod touch . Can't play any games they all need 4.3 or higher

To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows. Note nly the 3G and later can go to iOS 4.3 or later
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLegacyLandingPage
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

Why does synch of my iPod touch takes far longer than before iOS 5?

Synching of iPod before introduction of iCloud never took more than a few minutes and during the process iTunes reported how many photos or songs were being added or deleted based on what had changed on the iPhoto and iTunes libraries since the last synch event.
Now the synch process begins with a major "backup" effort and then lengthy processes in which it is not visible if or which photos or songs are being added or deleted. The process takes up to an hour and I have been forced on more than one occasion to RESTORE the iPod in order to get the synch to work at all.
I carry my entire iPhoto library (about 20'000 photos, excl videos) and iTunes library (7500 songs) on the 64 GB iPod, for which there is plenty of space. Why is synchronization no longer just the incremental process it originally was and now consumes far too much time?

I think it's normal...but you can try to do it again.

I have an ipod touch 4th gen and ever since I updated to ios 6.1.2 anytime I play a game it force closes...when is this getting fixed? It's getting on my last nerve

Getting really sick of my ipod force closing EVERYTHING...help please before I lose it

I just got a new iPod touch 4th generation and the latest iOS update (4.3.3) isnt installing

It says the software version is 4.2.1 amd that it's downloaded the iOS 4.3.3 version, but when I hit the update button it does the "extracting" bit and then when it gets to the "verifying update with Apple" it says
The iPod "Tanuj's iPod" could not be updated. An unknown error occured (3194)
I looked up that error and it said that that meant that my iTunes wasnt up to date. I checked, but it actually was up to date, but I re-installed the whole thing just to be sure, but it's still not updating.

Yep, it say iTunes 10.3.1.55
I tried searching for 3194, and someone pointed to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194 and that says:
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
I'm sure I have the latest version of iTunes, but what's an updater log?

I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it?

Hi, I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. I've tried everything! All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it? All I want are my contacts and my old calendar back. These did not sync with iTunes like my photos, music, and video. I can probably get an older, replacement iPod, but I don't want to have to readd all my important dates and reminders, as well as contact information. I guess I have two questions:
1) is there a way to get my ipod to start working again?
2) is there a way to get my old contacts and calendar back again?

Try here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

When I went to update my iPod touch on iTunes, it said unable to update then the iPod shutdown and no longer showed connected in iTunes. I have tried holding down both buttons for up to 3 mins with no luck turning it on, even after a full charge. Help?

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.

Did you fail transfer all purchases to your computer before attmeoting to update? not good. ''You can redownload some itunes purchases in some contries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You will need to restore. If you are unable then read this:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

IPod touch stopped working when charging now won't turn on at all

Try in order:
- After charging or half an hour, reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect the iPod to the computer and if it shows in iTunes, restore the iPod via iTunes.
- See if placing the iPod in recovory mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.
