Nano 3G charging issue, some things will charge it, some won't

Here is my issue, I hope someone here can help:
My daughter has a 8gb Nano. In the last week, it will not charge consistently.
She has an Altec Lansing speaker set that charged the Nano until this week, now it will not charge her Nano, but it will charge my iPod Classic 160gb, so that tells me the speakers are okay.
I have a different Altec Lansing speaker set that will charge my Classic, but it does not charge her Nano.
The computer USB cable will charge her Nano.
I have a dock plugged into the wall with the remote and connected to a stereo. It will charge both of our iPods.
I have a AC Adapter that will charge mine and not hers.
I have a cig lighter adapter that will charge mine, but not hers.
Lastly, she has an iHome clock/radio, that will charge both hers and mine.
I have restored her iPod, reset it, replaced all the music on it, still it will not charge on her Altec Lansing speakers, yet mine will.
Anyone have any ideas I can try before I assume it is her iPod?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Okay, have been reading some more and found an article that says that the connector on an iPod has firewire charging and USB charging capabilities. I am of the opinion now that something on her iPod went bad and it won't charge with devices that are firewire powered, but still work with USB powered devices. Apparently, lots of devices charge via firewire and Apple told manufacturers three years ago to abandon firewire and switch to USB.
I wonder if there is a setting somewhere to enable firewire charging that I need to turn on for her ipod that somehow got turned off?

I have an ipod and and ipad. I want different things on each one. How do I set it up to only sync some things on one and some on the other?

I have an ipod and and ipad. I don't need as many apps on my ipod touch as I have on my ipad. How do I set it up to only sync some things on one and some on the other?

How you sync one device will not affect the other. See here for different ways to manage them all.

My iPhone 4 is no longer recognised by my laptop, and no longer registers being plugged in to charge, even though it will charge slowly if plugged in and turned off. It's not a cable problem or a computer problem, as I've checked these.

Hey, over the past couple of days my iPhone 4 (GMS, Model A1332, EMC 380B - running on iOS 7.1.2) has begun inexplicably intermittently not recognizing being plugged in to charge or being connected to my laptop. As of today, it has complete stopped recognizing being plugged in to charge or connected to the laptop.
If I plug it in to charge, whilst it is on, nothing happens and the battery drains.
If I plug it in to charge and turn in off, it will charge very very slowly - though it will charge fully after a long time.
When I connect it to my laptop, nothing happens - it doesn't appear in iTunes, and it doesn't charge or recognize being connected to the laptop (there is no charging symbol, no noise from either phone or computer registering the connection as it usual did, or another sign of any connection between the devices, though, again, it will charge very slowly if turned off).
I've ruled out the possibility of it being a cable problem, by using a friend's cable and finding that didn't allow it to recognize being plugged into the wall to be charged either, or being plugged into the computer.
My friend's cable does work on their own iPhone (ie, when plugged into the wall with their cable, their iPhone acknowledges this and charges properly, and when plugged into my computer with their cable both my computer and their iPhone recognize the connection).
So, it's definitely a problem with my iPhone itself, but I don't know what.
As I say, it will charge very slowly, if it's switched off whilst it's plugged in, but it won't acknowledge being plugged in, and will only drain if it is turned on whilst being plugged in - and it will not recognize being connect to my computer.
Please help me figure out what is wrong with it, as this is beyond annoying and I'm literally banging my head against the wall - the iPhone is little over a year old.
Cheers.

You clearly did not notice that you have joined a USER TO USER COMMUNITY FORUM
This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they therefore respond
So if you would like to wind your neck in ........................
try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

IPhone 4 not recognized on two PCs nor will they charge it, but it will charge in an electric outlet. Any ideas why?

I tried two different USB cables in several different USB ports on both the PCs. Neither computer recognizes it nor charges the phone. But when i plug the iPhone into a wall socket using either USB cable, it will charge. Does anyone know why this is happening? The iPhone was previously recognized by both computers.
Thanks!

I cleaned the port on the iphone. I used a sonicare toothbrush to get in the small spaces. It worked!
Thanks for the inspiration

Charging issues - display says not charging - but actually is!

I have the O.G. version of ipad running ios5.1.1 and whenever I plug in the charger now - it says "charging device not supported", then battery display says "not charging" - not sure how to fix this, but if i leave it plugged into the computer instead of a wall socket it does very slowly trickle charge the battery.
Anyone have any suggestions about why it's doing this and how to fix it?
I have tried multiple different chargers in wall and different computers also with same result.

The iPad charger is 10W
The iPhone charger is only 5W
Important to use thw 10W charger.
Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

My ipod wont charge on laptop but will charge on mains socket any suugestions how to rectify this problem

My ipod has recently stopped charging through my laptop but will still charge through the main socket - has anyone any suggestions to rectify this problem

Try a different USB port. Also, does it show in iTunes on your computer?

Flash Player usually works, but some things will not work.

I've had a strange problem ever since I installed Windows 7 on my computer. Flash player almost always functions properly but does not work on a few specific things such as the music player on Myspace. The player shows up on any artists page but when I click the play button it changes to pause like normal then in about half a second it pauses the song and switches back to the play icon. I can press the play button again and it just does the same thing over and over again. It will pause the song and only play for about half a second between pauses.
Another example is when I go to nikeid.com I can load the first flash page and select my language, then it goes to a loading screen where squares fade in and out but it will not go beyond that page. I can get passed the page on any other computer I've ever tried.
Also, sometimes photo viewers that use flash will not display the photos properly. They will be off to one side and you can't see the photo.
These same problems happen for me on multiple browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. I've tried reinstalling Windows 7, and reinstalling Flash multiple times. I did not have any of these problems when I was using Windows Vista on this computer. On a final note I am using Windows 7 64bit but I am absolutely positive I am using 32bit web browsers when I am browsing the web. These things worked fine on Vista 64bit.
Thank you for any and all help.

I don't know any of the websites you mention, so I don't know what should or should not be happening on there. Also are you sure they use Flash Player and not Shockwave Player?
If Flash Player, try different settings like disabe/enable Hardware Acceleration, or Allow 3rd-party on http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l or change the Storage settings for the websites in question at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.htm l

Some things will not update

Well, let's try again.
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility>in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HD mechanism>look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen select the language and click Continue> click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

Some songs will play and others won't

I have a lot of music that plays fine, but there are also a good percentage that won't play. Shortly after I refurnished my OS drive with a Backup copy some of my songs wouldn't play. Do I have corrupted music files? Please help! I am in dire need of some assistance. I have already deauthored and reauthored my HD still no resolution. Also my music files are on a different HD from the OS HD.
Thank you
733 mhz Quicksilver Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Welcome To Apple Discussions!
Well, could you maybe give a little more detailed information? What do you mean by "don't play"? When you click on them, what happens exactly? Are they all songs from the iTunes Music Store? etc....
Good luck,
Adam

Not enough power in car with USB to charge z10 but will charge bold and Q10

My in car USB shows the symbol that there is insufficient power to charge my z10 but when I plug in a Blackberry bold or a Q10 both indicate that they are charging. The Z10 will charge properly when I plug it into a wall socket.
Is there a way to get the z10 charging properly in the car as well?

I faced the same issue. My guess would be that Z10 needs a more genuine (in terms of power) car charger than other phones.
However if we ignore the error, charging does happen but with delay compared to wall mount charging.
Hoping to some alternative inputs from the experts.

Iphone 6 charging issue

hello,
i seem to have an issue with my phone charging, i have two apple lighting cables that work perfectly, however, if i try and use any other lighting cable, including two brand new cables from apple, they will not charge. when my phone dies, and i plug it in using a different cable, it says its charging, but it never comes back on, and im stuck with a black screen and can't do anything with it until i get to my two cables.

Hello bobrulesall,
Based on your description of your configuration and the charging issues you are having (charging only from a specific pair of Apple Lightning cables), you may want to have your iPhone evaluated and/or serviced. You may find the information on the following page helpful:

My ipod wont charge on outlet but will on computer outlet

need help does anybody know why i cant charge in outlet but will charge on computer usb?

See my response to your other post.

Stuck charging at 99% – yes, actually 'charging'

Recently my 2009 MBP has had a weird issue where it will charge normally to 99%, and never reach 100%. This would be fine if the light turned green – however, it doesn't.
The menu bar says it is charging still, and the MagSafe light is red. If I unplug the MagSafe and pop it in again, the charge jumps to 100%, the light goes green, and a few seconds later it drops to 99% and turns red again.
I've reset PRAM, SMC, updated to Mavericks. I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
Health is at 94%, @ 425 cycles, and charge is lasting the usual 6-7 hours.

Thanks for the response. It seems to have corrected itself for now after several full charges - full discharges.
Please do not do full discharges. That is not good for the battery. Read the first two articles in this list:

Over charging (with home or auto charger)?

This may sound dumb...if so please indulge me. Is it possible to over charge your incredible by always leaving it in the charger, whether its fully charged or not, and cause the charging cord to fray or melt (home charger or auto)?
I went to the Verizon store today to complain about how often I have to change chargers since I've been with Verizon (over 10 years), from phone to phone. When they looked at my current auto charger I presented, they noticed it looked to be partially melted. Logically, I went home and reluctantly checked my fuses in my car...none are blown (I have a 2008 vehicle so I didn't suspect a blown fuse). So now I thought about the common denominator and that is...my charging habits may be poor. I come home and immediately plug in my phone (without paying attention to the batter life). When I leave the house and get into to car, the phone goes on the auto charger. The point, the phone is only off the charger when I am away from my car or house.
Could my charging habits be ruining my charger's life prematurely? I purchased a new charger but am making this inquiry before connecting it....
Too charged,

It's a bad idea to have your phone on any charger on a continuous basis. Yes, it will make your battery really hot, and I imagine hot enough to melt cord. I suggest that you plug your phone onto a charger when it is down to 20-30 percent and unhook it when it becomes completely charged. Some people will charge their phone at night when they are sleeping, personally, I think that's a poor idea.

When I bootup first thing in the morning it won't have sound and boots in safe mode then if you reboot it works ok can anyone help

The system has been restored and still does it

Hmmm, bit of a hail Mary here, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back. Or if toggling things brings it back.
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does Sound work in the new account?
