My ipod will only charge on my computer but wont charge

with wall charger or docking station

Does the wall charger work for other devices? Maybe it is bad.
Does them dock manufacturer say it will work with your model iPod and its iOS?
Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
Does music play through the dock?
Did it work with the dock before?

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:

My iPod will not register on my computer, but it will on other computers.

I have a Windows XP and everything else works in my USB ports but my iPod. My iPod works in other computers just not mine.

Since yours is a old PC, the iPod will run into timeouts,
Re-install iTunes, it may update the iPod device driver.
Try connecting the iPod to a USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC.
Disconnect all other USB devices, and dont use any USB hubs
Disconnect from the Internet
Stop the Antivirus software

My iPod will not sync to my computer, but has no problem with others.

So, my Nano was a birthday present that I got in March of 2008. I had not experienced this problem, until about five months later. My Nano no longer will sync with my iTunes library. it syncs with my neighbor's Mac and her library. But also with my Boyfriend's PC (also Windows XP).
I also cannot restore my iPod to it's factory settings. I get an error message that says, "Aimco user's iPod cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred.So, my Nano was a birthday present that I got in March of 2008. I had not experienced this problem, until about five months later.

But I do not get this message immediately, sometimes it takes hours (while it claims it is Restoring) before I get the error message.
I get a similar error message when trying to sync.

whoops, sorry for the repeats guys.

Transfer the iTunes Library from your old computer to the new computer and then continue syncing as normal.

Hello xerxes.nashion,
It sounds like your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your MacBook Pro. I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

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

My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

The battery is possibly unable to take as much power as a normal battery. It may need a replacement battery.

My ipod will only show the dead battery screen and wont taking a charge.

my ipod will only show the dead battery screen and wont taking a charge on any of my sinc cords or my outlet charger. And I have checked that nothing is in the plug port blocking the electrodes. What do I do now?

Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore via iTunes.

All of a sudden my ipod will only hold a charge for an hour

Strange, but if it's under a yr. old, you should still have a warranty on it, and Apple can replace it for you.

My ipod will only charge when i fiddle with it and hold it in a weird position, i've tried a 2 new chargers but i still have the same problem, any ideas what to do?

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

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.
