Nano 5th won't charge anymore

Have had iPod Nano for a few years, suddenly charger makes sparking sounds and/or doesn't charge. I've seen many posts but they are mostly about new charges/iPods or other problems. Mine worked fine and now doesn't. I can charge it by connecting to laptop, also have a car charger that I will try. Meantime any comment appreciated.

Have you tried a different USB sync cable to help rule out a faulty or damaged cable? Make sure it is an Apple branded one as third party cables often lead to all sorts of issues.

Is it bad for the battery if i leave my nano 5th on the charger all the time?

Is it bad for the battery if i leave my nano 5th on the charger all the time?

No, it's actually what you're supposed to do. To prolong the battery life, try to keep its level high or full as much as you can.
I don't know for sure, but I think the iPod does not draw current from the charging battery but from the charger itself.

Help! My IPod 4G won't charge anymore!

Before this incident, I would've had to tilt my Ipod in some position JUST to charge! But now, since I can't find the exact "position" for it to charge, my Ipod won't charge anymore. And plus my IPod died too.

Have you tried another cable?
Another USB port?
Another computer or wall charger?
Have you looked int the dock connector and iPod a looked for abmormalities like corrosion, bent contacts?

My iPhone 4 won't charge anymore, Help!!!!

Help!!!! my iPhone 4 won't charge anymore.. my iTunes doesn't even recognise it anymore, I've tried charging it from my computer and from the wall but nothing... don't know what to do. It was charging this morning but then i tried this afternoon and nothing happened, i really don't know what to do

Hey nankhalifa,
These are the recommended troubleshooting steps for when your iPhone isn't charging:
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Sincerely,
Delgadoh

HT6154 Iphone 5s randomly won't charge anymore and won't recover or go into DFU mode

My Iphone 5s randomly won't charge anymore and won't recover or go into DFU mode. It died and it only shows the bolt symbol with the charger on the screen. When I plug in my charger the screen lights up but doesnt charge. I bought another charger to be safe and that didnt work either. My phone was working fine and this randomly happened

Carefully clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If still problem, iPhone 5S has Warranty, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.

HT4623 my iphone 3gs won't charge anymore.

My wife's iphone 3gs won't charge anymore even tho we leave it charging all night.

You can clean the iPhone's dock connector with an old dry toothbrush.
You won't know for certain, but if no change after making sure the dock connector port is clean, more than likely there is some damage.
Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby where it can be determined if there is damage to the dock connector port or if there is another hardware problem.

Radio transmitters for nano 5th gen that charge

Does anyone know if there is a radio transmitter that works with the Nano 5h gen and charges it also? The last one I had worked on a 3rd gen but won't charge the 5th gen.

Try a Google search.

My iPod nano 5G won't charge.

My iPod nano won't charge in itunes, will not reset and won't charge. What can I do?

Likely the cable. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective Apple will replace the cable/iPod.

Speakers that won't charge anymore??

Hi
I have got some speakers for my iphone, they used to charge it and play fine. Now they still play but they won't charge? My car charger still works and my USB. I tried the same speakers with a friend's ipod nano the other day and they wouldn't charge that either so I think it must be the speakers. Any ideas if this can be fixed? Thank you.

I would say that the speakers are the problem here and not the phone. If the speakers are under warranty I would try to get them fixed.

Hello Angelpz11,
I recommend this from our iPhone: Hardware Troubleshooting article found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802:

My charging port on iPhone 4S is really dirty from previous owner. It's more than dust. It's affected the charging to where it won't charge anymore. How can I safely clean this out? Or will I have to go get it cleaned or something by apple? Thanks.

I bought my iPhone 4S from a friend and noticed right away that inside the charging port it's really dirty. It didn't affect anything so I didn't think much of it. Now though, it is not allowing my phone to charge at all. I've tried multiple chargers, adapters, and wall plug-ins and it doesn't change. It still won't charge. I'm not sure as to go about cleaning it. I don't want to scratch the part that connects to the charger. So how would I clean it, and would I need to just go to apple and let them deal with it?
Thanks.

Are you sure it is not corrosion/rust from moisture damage?

Battery won't charge anymore, charger light orange

for some unknows reasons,
my battery won't charge ,
the adapter light stay orange but the charge stay to 0%,
(or 40% for the brand new battery from apple store)
-i've tried to reset the PMU but no effect
-i've ordered a new Apple battery but no charging allowed,
it stay to 40% pre-charge when sector plugged or decrease the charge with only battery
the powerbook works with battery only or sector only, but charging the battery simply doesn't works.
-i've checked the charger, it works

-i've starded from a firewire harddisk with a new system : battery no charge
-i've made the test with the Apple Service diagnostic 2.5.7 CD
(nothing found)
then it is a logic board issue ??
for a almost 2 years-old machine it's a shame
what the procedure to follow in my country to diagnostic and fix ?

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Sorry to hear about your battery issue. When a battery appears to be failing, typically either the battery is bad or the logic board is misbehaving. You have a new battery and that didn't change the symptoms, you've determined the power supply is functional, and you've run the Apple hardware test from your OS X DVD and found nothing (the Apple hardware test tests the logic board). Do you know anyone with Applecare who has the TechTools Deluxe CD, that you could borrow to also test the logic board?
I don't expect this will fix it, however, you can also reset your PRAM/NVRAM by following the directions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238.
It sounds like you need to take your system to an Apple store for analysis.

My iPod Nano just won't work anymore. Please help if possible.

I have had my iPod Nano for under a year, and this past month it has been going crazy on me like for a week I was unable to turn it off. However, it all of sudden worked fine but two weeks later while I was listening to it, it just turned off on me. Now I cannot open it and I have tried charging it but nothing shows up and it just will not turn on. It is like my iPod has died. Has anyone else gone through this? Thanks for the help.

Try these.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
My iPod won't wake up.
iPod touch-wheel is unresponsive after waking from sleep.
When restoring the iPod, it's recommended to put it into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
If none of the above help, then it's probably a service issue.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.
