My iPod will charge through the wall outlet, but not PC. PC won't recognize it when plugged in.

I bought a used iPod nano that is giving me some grief. It works fine other than the battery not holding a charge. I have ordered a battery to replace the old one and am hoping this might be the problem.  Anyway I am having problems getting my PC to recognize it when I plug it in. I keep getting errors from windows that the PNP devices is having problems. I have tried all the troubleshooting tips on the Internet and still can't get it to recognize the iPod. I have 3 other 4th generation iPods that I have no problems with. Could the battery be the problem? I have changed cords to see if that was the problem, I have tried different computers and it gives me the same problem. Just curious if anyone knows what the deal might be.

  • My iPod Touch (newest generation) won't sync and is not being recognized by my computer OR iTunes. It WILL charge through the wall charger. It is now stuck on a screen directing me to connect to iTunes. What can I do?

    I have restarted, reset, erased all data and network settings, tried different ports and different cords, restarted computers, reinstalled and updated iTunes... and now I cannot use my iPod at all. It is less than 6 months old, Apple won't help me on the phone unless I pay, and the nearest apple store is 2 hours away.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it  says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

    - 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.

    My iPod touch is not charging, nor is it syncing with my commputer and iTunes. It will charge on the wall charger, and in the car, but not on the computer. My wife's iPod Nano syncs on the computer. I went in and reset my iPod Touch back to factory settings and now it will not let me get in unless I sync to iTunes on my computer. Well, it still will not connect thru the USB cord. Does anyone know what I should do to get this corrected? I want my iPod back.

    Have you seen and worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document?

  • My iPod will charge in the computer but not my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same sofware and generation. Why won't mine charge?

    My Ipod will charge in the computer but noy my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same software and generation. Why won't mine charge?

    Look the dock connector on your iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corred contacts, foreign material and cracked/broken plastic.
    Try:
    - 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 settings/new iPod

    Then it's time to make an appointment at your Apple Genius Bar at your Apple Store.  Apple will check it out and if it's defective and still in waranty (you don't say which model you have), it will be replaced.

  • IPAD 2 Won't Charge on USB port on my laptop, my desktop Mac but will charge via the wall plug

    I am confused on what to do with my IPAD 2.  It won't charge via my USB Port on my PC that I travel with.  Also I just purchased a new desktop Mac and it will not charge on that USB port either.  But it will charge via the Wall Plug that came with it.  I am worried when I travel to different countries to use the wall plug.  I have an adapter to switch power.  I am from Canada and travel oversees where the power is 240 vs the 120 at home.  If I use my plug adapter and plug in my ipad to the wall Will I destroy the battey in my IPAD 2.  I love my ipad to travel with but it is very frustrating when it will not charge on my PC or on the airplane.  Then I am afraid to use the wall plug in the airport because of the difference in power.  Would really appreciate some help here because I am oversees 2 weeks a month and only get a couple days use of my IPAD.  I have all my books and everything on it and need to be able to recharge it.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Confused!!!!

    For better future reference, you should be aware that the voltage means nothing when it comes to charging power. All that that is telling you is that the Power Adapter will work across that voltage range, i.e., you don't need a transformer to plug it into the outlet (although you may need different plugs, which is a separate topic).
    What matters is the amperage (A) and the power in watts (W). The Power Adapter puts out 2 A @ 5 VDC (volts DC), which means it's producing 10 watts of power. It will output that across the entire voltage range.
    A high-power USB port on a PC will put out 0.5A @ 5VDC, or 2.5 W. Be aware that not all of the ports on any given PC are likely to be putting out even that much power, at may well be putting out less than half as much. That's why you'll often see the "Not Charging" when plugged into a USB port, especially on Windoze laptops, and why it will charge very slowly even when it works.
    FYI, the charger which is sold with the iPhone looks identical, is called the same thing, but only puts out 1A. It will work on the iPad but will charge more slowly. By that same token, the iPad charger will charge an iPhone just fine, it will just charge faster.

  • My iphone will charge in the wall, but wont charge on my computer, and itunes wont recognize it, how d i fix it?

    My phone will charge in the wall, but wont charge with the usb in my computer. ive bought a new cord, so i know thats not it, but my computer wont recognize my phone, HELP!

    See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make the iPod visible in iTunes.  If it does then restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  For recovery mode see:

  • In the slide show view how can you pin the "next" Arrow to the ultimate edge so it is in the same place as the full screen image, it will pin to the left edge but not the right.

    Hello,
    Please make sure that the next button is pinned to the right side as there in the attached image.
    If it is already pinned, you can try removing any embedded HTML code and checking it.

    What do you mean it did not work!  What were the results of the diagnostic tests?
    Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?  
    Have you changed your router channel?  Sometimes this resolves wireless problems.

  • My iPhone 4 will charge on a wall socket but WILL NOT charge on computer or even connect to the computer and show up???

    My iPhone 4 will not connect to my MacBookPro. It will not charge on my MacBookPro, but it will charge on a wall socket and it will play music in a 3rd party speaker system??
    This is extremely frustrating not only can I not back up my iPhone but I also can not update its OS etc.

    Have you tried other USB Sockets on the MBP?
    Have you tried other devices in these USB sockets?, do these work?
    Sounds like a fault on the Macbook

  • IPod will charge from Windows 8 Laptop but won't connect to iTunes

    I have a 4th Gen iPod 32GB that's about two years old or so. After upgrading to iTunes 12, I could not get my device to so much as charge from my laptop, never mind sync. So after screwing around the control panel and trying to figure this out on my own (because frankly, Apple isn't very helpful) I was able to get the iPod to charge from the laptop, however it still will not even show up on the top left menu bar as seen in the picture. I've tried using the old shut down and restart method, recovery mode, swapping USB ports and cables, even uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Still nothing. So I try it on my Mom's desktop (Windows 7) (iTunes upgraded to 12 there also), and it registers my iPod and it will sync just fine. I've looked at other community threads and the ones I've found are two years old and the advice didn't work for me anyway. Normally, I would just use the desktop iTunes instead but its a completely different library and I've already purchased songs that I want to put on the iPod. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions?

  • 2nd gen ipod shuffle will charge with one computer (vista) but not the other computer (windows 8).  Please help!

    My 2nd gen ipod shuffle will charge on my old vitsta computer but not my new windows 8 computer. Does anyone know why that might be? The new computer recognizes the ipod and I can see everything on it, change settings, etc. it just won't charge. Is there a reason as to why this should be happening?

    Just bought a refurbished 2nd generation ipod
    shuffle. I am running the very latest version of OS X
    and iTunes on an iBook G3 600 mhz with the slower USB
    ports, not 2.0 ports. The ipod mounts and is
    regognized by itunes, but I cannot seem to register
    the ipod from itunes, it always has an error message
    when I submit to register (all forms are filled out
    correctly). The registration window in iTunes shows
    that this ipod is formatted for Windows (from the
    previous owner I assume) and may be causing my
    problems?
    No. ALL shuffles are FAT32 format.
    The other problem is that it will not sync and
    transfer any music from itunes library. I am trying
    to transfer simple mp3 files that should be compliant
    with the ipod specs. No luck even after multiple
    restarts on the ipod. Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you.
