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!
Signed, a very frustrated iPod user in Ohio!

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.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes. it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted. Any suggestions?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Then try restoring again.

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
This was the first purchase I made.

Are you following these instructions?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Where is the lock icon on the screen?

my ipod touch will no longer connect to my laptop because my ipod is not up to date, but it won't find a newer software. what should I do?

the computer is a macbook pro, mac os x 10.6.08 and the ipod touch is ios 6.0.
the problem is that just updated the itunes on the computer and now the ipod won't connect because apparently the itunes on the ipod is not up to date but the iod is telling me that is is up to date, so i can't do a software update.

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

When charging from a wall socket the iPod does not show the battery charging or the flash indicator in the charge level icon . Both these do appear when charging from my Mac. Is this normal?

When charging from a wall socket with a mac recommended charger, the battery icon in the top right hand corner does not show the flash sign and the running battery level is also not shown . Is this the normal situation?

Hi,
so when you hold the menu+select buttons it won't reset - show the apple logo?
If you can get the apple logo to show, then press the select and play buttons to put it into disk mode.
What happens when you connect it to the computer? Sometimes, you can see the ipod in disk management if you open itunes before connecting the ipod. Once itunes is open, select Edit/preferences. This will keep itunes busy so that you can read the ipod in disk managment.

Should i let my ipod touch have a full charge whenever i connect it to a computer for itunes

Hi
I would like to know if i should always let my ipod touch get a full charge whenever i connect it to a computer. For example when i just want to add a few songs during the day and my ipod has just half the battery left. And is normal to get a full charge in just to hours (ipod touch 4g)? It defInately shows a plug and not a lightning sign.
When i got my ipod touch i didnt let it charge to a full charge when i connected it to itunes in the beginning. Does that affect my ipods battery life?
Thanks for any help
Anjy

No, that's no necessary and it won't effect the life of the battery.

My ipod touch will not turn on, i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it wont charge. and plus its battery was already full. why wont it turn on??

So one day is was laying next to my ipod touch and i tried to turn it on but it wouldnt. so then i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it didnt charge, the computer didnt pick up the divice. so now my ipod touch will not turn on, and i have no idea why. PLEASE HELP.

mine did the same thing. What I did was hold the home and power button down for 10 seconds but that did not work. I figured out that I just had to hold them down for a long time like 15 to 45 seconds. Then it finally turned on. You may have to do it a couple of time. But if this does not work send it in to the apple company they fixed mine completly free they even sent me a box to send it in. I hope my answer helps you fix it.

My ipod touch will not play music in my Bowers and Wilkins mini zeppelin nor my Logitech. Yet, it plays in my car. The music can be heard playing in the ipod itself. It is only 2 years old. Should I repair or just buy another? Thanks!

Did it start not working after updating the iPOs on the iPod? SOmetimes updating an iOS breaks compatibility.
You can try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost

IPod touch will not stay charged

My newish ipod touch will not hold a charge. I make sure all apps are closed, and turn it off and just sitting unused it will be dead within a day. Help?

If by "off" do you just mean asleep with wifi on? That is not that unusual with iOS 5. To increase battery life see:

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
