My iPod won't charge - on any power outlet.

My iPod won't charge - it said for a while that the battery was empty (to the point of unusable) when I plugged it in, and left it plugged in for a a couple of days and now it will switch on but the battery is empty. I have tried resetting it (menu and middle button), and I have also tried to drain the battery and charge, but it does not work. there are no apple stores where I am /no genius bar so I can't go in store - and the model is recently refurbished - I swapped it out a few months ago - so shouldn't be facing any problems. Please help!

I have also tried charging it through several computers and numerous
power outlets but none work.

  • 5G 30G Ipod won't charge or sync

    My Ipod won't charge when connected to my laptop. It does charge when plugged into my car radio transmitter and dock. When I plug it into my laptop fully charged I get a message from windows explorer asking me if I want to scan and clean it to repair any problems. I have done this. It starts to sync with itunes (still fully charged) and then I get an error message saying the disk cannot be read. When I disconnect the Ipod there is almost no charge on the battery. I have restored the Ipod through itunes and reinstalled itunes.
    I have replaced the battery and charged it again but I am still having the same problems.
    I have synced an ipod shuffle on the same computer with no problems.
    Any help would be appreciated! thanks.

    come on guys? can anybody help?
    I have run the manual diagnostics and the USB cable is recognized. I let the battery completely discharge for 5 days, rebooted it up and its draining power from the usb cable to operate, but there is no software recognition (other than in diagnostics) of the fact that the cable is plugged in. In disk mode it shows charging but does not recognize it is plugged into a computer. In normal mode it does not show charging or syncing. OS X does not acknowlede the ipod exists and windows does not recognize the device (several computers, all recognize other ipods).
    I'm sure this must be a software issue but i cannot restore as i cannot get the computer to recognize the ipod! Help

  • Old ipod won't charge

    Older ipod won't charge.  30 gig, white, I've shown videos on it, so it's one of the earlier color iPods.  I gave it to my mom 2 years ago and she never used it. I've tried a wall charger and plugged it into my computers, no luck.  I can't get it to turn on at all, so can't reset or restore.
    Thanks for any help!

    Checked some identifiers on Apple website, apparently it's a 5th generation.

  • My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. The battery is now exhausted.

    My MacBook Air won't charge using the power cord and it's not the power cord that's malfunctioning. I went to Radio Shack and tried two new cords. The battery is now dead. Any thoughts?

    Unfortunately, my battery has died as a result of not being able to charge with the power cord. Not sure what an SMC reset is but I have made an appointment to bring my laptop in to the Apple Store. Thank you for your response. Very much appreciated.
    Warm Regards,

    Please help me! I'm stuck on restore mode.

    I tried on 3 different MacBooks, it doesn't work.
    I have some updates though... It is recognized on my car sound system, and It is working fine when connected to a windows PC, I was able to normally activate it... so the problem is not on the connector, Macs just don't recognize it.
    Anyone ?

  • Ipod won't charge using power block.

    I bought an Ipod power block charger that connects into the wall and will charge the Ipod. when I hook everything up, nothing happens, the Ipod does not charge. I returned the power block thinking it doesn't won't and I exchanged it and got a new one, the same happens with this new one, nothing works. i tried different outlets. The wierd thing about this all is that I have a charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car and the Ipod charges with that. I want to be able to use this power block though, what is going on? The ipod is a 40gb third generation Ipod.

    Here's some info you may find useful:
    iPods without clickwheels cannot charge over USB.
    iPods with clickwheels will charge over both (with the exception of the iPod Video and possibly iPod Photo).

  • Help please.  My newish Ipod won't charge and won't connect to itunes

    Hello,
    I have had a 20 gb ipod for a month or two and just the other day I put it to charge (not for the first time) and it didn't connect. I have a docker and that didn't work either. I tried to connect to itunes on both laptop and home computer and it didn't register the ipod.
    I guess there might be a loose connection in the bottom of the ipod? I am still under guarantee but can't make head nor tail of the site. If I call I get charged automatically 37 pounds for on line support (I am not within the 90 days as I bought this ipod on Ebay) Do I just send the whole thing in without really knowing what is wrong with it?
    Has anyone had a similar problem? i successfully have connected both to the charger and itunes over the past few weeks though there were a couple of occasions where the ipod didn't get recognised by itunes.
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • My iPad one won't charge with any cable I buy? Tell me what I am doing wrong.

    I have an iPad 1 and have had no major problems with it til now. I want to continue using it, I use it for many things and it would suck if it stoped working because of something IDK about. My first and only apple product.
    The charger cable (That came with it) finally broke. The wires just came apart and it wasn't salvagable. I had an Ipod cord here that a friend left and plugged it into the original port (The one that was working fine with original charger and came with ipad). It was a tight squeze into the iPad (which I thought was normal) but I got it into there so I thought it would work. It won't work. So i bought a charger said to be used to ipads, and I plugged it in, same thing happened. I did however still sync it into the computer with the new cable I bought. What am I doing wrong that it won't charge on the wall anymore? Wrong cable? I'm confused. Please help!

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • IPod Won't charge when put onto dock

    So 2 years ago I got a Phillips Dock for an iPod and I got an iPod 5. The dock was for an iPod 4th gen so I bought an adapter it plays my music but won't charge my iPod....why?

    Have you went to Phillips' support site?
    Maybe the dock does not provide enough power to charge it with the screen on. If you connect to dock and with the screen off come back hours later is it charged?
