  • My computer will not recognize my ipod touch 4g and will not charge it.

    A short while ago, my computer simply stopped recognizing my iPod touch 32gb 4g. When I plug it in to any USB port, nothing happens. Same if I try to plug my iPod into an adapter. I have tried everything both apple and the previous discussions have covered. I've uninstalled everything pertaining to apple or iTunes and reinstalled it. I've tried going into revoery mode, I've even tried running an independant driver without iTunes. The funny thing is, if I go into settings-general-reset-erase content and settings, the iPod will charge, but it won't reset. I figured that out by accident trying to wipe my iPod to reset it. Any ideas? Please help, I'd rather not have to spend another $300 for another iPod. Another note, my iTunes will find the iPod over WiFi. I don't know if that helps any.

    my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

    I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings.  I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill. 
    After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now.

    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?

  • My iPod touch, fourth gen, will not charge or be recognized by computer.

    My iPod touch, fourth gen, wont charge or be recognized by my computer. This computer has worked with my iPod before and the wall charger also works. But when i plugged it into the wall charger it didn't work. I tried a different cable and tried my computer as well. Although, when i turned it off and then plugged it in while in its off state, it turned on, but didn't show that it was charging by showing the little lightening bolt. Please help, i do not have a phone and this is what i used to contact my close family and friends.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen will not Charge or Power On.

    I got my iPod at Christmas and it's worked fine ever since. I don't much use it, but recently I let the battery die. When I go to charge my iPod, the Low Battery Symbol will show up, then vanish. If I hit the "Sleep" button, it will pop up again. My ipod does not indicate that it's charging, nor does my computer recognize the device. I assumed it was just a bad cable, but since then I've tried 2 other lightning Cables and neither has worked.
    I use my iPod mostly to capture video, and I would like to keep my videos, but without a charge, I can't even transfer my files to my computer.

  • IPod Touch 4th gen will not charge, or sync to iTunes

    Hello, I have a 2 year old iPod 4th gen 32 gb.  About a week ago a realized that when a charged it the charging screen did not appear.  I made no big deal about it since it still charged, but then I tried to connect it to my cpu to see if anything changed, nothing did (it also cannot connect to iTunes to my cpu but can connect to the app just fine).  So I went on with it but recently it stopped charging all together.  I'd power it down at night and turn it on in the morning and didn't charge at all past 20% So I powered it down and this image came up.Yes, I have seen this image before but when I plugged it in and got the  charging screen after it died.  But now it cannot get past this screen I left it plugged in all day and it doesn't do anything else.  I can reset it after 10 minutes to wake it up but it dies again almost right away now normally i would just toss this away, since how old it is but I'm getting an iPhone soon and I want to be able to transfer everything over, to the iPhone but it keeps dying before i can do anything.  And I would like to fix it so I could sell it for some cash.

  • My ipod touch 5th gen will not charge when connected to pc. works when plugged into wall

    I just got my 5th gen ipod today, and when i plug it into my pc (and my roommate's) they make the sound as if something is connected, but my ipod does not charge. When I plug it into my wall charger, it works fine. I've tried multiple cables, and multiple PCs, but it makes no difference. The weirdest thing though, is when I restart my computer, when it is about to close windows, it starts charging for a few seconds, then turns back off. This is so confusing. Any ideas?

    Sounds like the computer's USB ports do not provide enough current to charge the iPod when the screen is on. I would connect a partially discharged iPod to the computer for a couple of hours and see it it is charged.
