Nano wont charge or connect.

My nano has been acting CRAZY. When I hook it up to the firewire charger it charges, but of course it wont sync. It holds the charge fine. If I hook it up with the normal charger it does NOTHING. It wont charge or connect to iTunes. What did I do?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Crackling and buzzing sound? Kind of worrying as this may indicate hardware malfunction. In that case you may need to take it to an Apple Store (if there is one) to let them check on it.
Can you borrow or get an iPod USB AC charger and use that to try to recharge the iPod?

  • Nano wont charge or connect with USB but will with firewire.

    My nano has been acting CRAZY. When I hook it up to the firewire charger it charges, but of course it wont sync. It holds the charge fine. If I hook it up with the normal charger it does NOTHING. It wont charge or connect to iTunes. What did I do? Also, I use the same cable to do my iPhone. It worked great for both. Then it quit for the nano.

    Well,
    You probably didn't have iTunes open (if that's where it syncs from).
    If that' right, then when you want to charge or sync from your iPod, make sure iTunes is open.
    This should help, but if you already did this, I'm sorry. I have no advice.

    Is it not charging at all? Did you try to reset? If YES to both, request for a replacement of the ipod. Battery or the unit itself is defective. Cheers!

    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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • Wont charge or connect to my laptop

    my ipad wont charge or connect to my itunes on my laptop please help

    The best way to charge the iPad is via the wall plg - most computers, especially older ones, do not provide enough power to their USB ports in order to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate (it may still be charging but slowly; it will probably be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off).
    In terms of connecting to your computer's iTunes, then there is troubleshooting help here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

    ipad wont charge when connected to laptop but charges when connected to wall outlet

    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
    http://www.macblend.com/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.

  • My ipad wont charged when connected to laptop. HELP?!!!

    my ipad wont charged when connected to my laptop. Anyone know how to fix that. thanks, much appreciated
    Also, just noticed this now....i have it connected and its got no battery. It will shut off like it died (while connected to the laptop) and then after a few minuted it will turn on. with the battery icon saying "not charging"

    Chances are your USB port is charging but only when the screen is off. This is e behaviour i get from our pcs.
    Make a note of the battery level, plug it in and make sure the screen is off, after and hour check the battery level.
    It should have charged a bit but very, VERY slowly.
    Your computer port normally only delivers 500mha of power. Some modern macs deliver 1100mha. Anything less than 1000mha wont charge with the screen in.
    The iPhone charge delivers 1000mha and the iPad charger delivers 2100mha.
    So it not charging via the computer is normal.

    Your signature say iOS4.3.1.
    If you have a 3G, you cannot be running 4.3.1
    iOS4.3.x and higher requires a 3GS. 
    While this has no bearing on your current issue... it could cause confusion if you need assistance in the future with other iOS related issues.
    Make sure you know which device you have.  Identify iPhone models.

  • Nano wont charge properly

    my nano will download songs and update but as soon as the update is done the nano stops charging, and it wont charge at all unless you are updating. it keeps dying on me
    please help
      Windows 2000  

    The first thing they tell you to do in cases like these is to run down your battery to around 5-10%, then recharge fully. Do it twice to make sure.
    Remember that, if you leave the cable to sync and recharge, the USB port may actually lose power over time if you leave it in too long. For that reason, charge from a wall plug, if possible.

  • Nano wont charge - tried everything, even went to the store

    Ok, My comp is Windows 2000
    i got the nano 3 weeks ago
    it hasn't charged once
    ive tried everything on this site and it still wont work
    the box on my comp is custom made but i know it works with ipod's fine because my mini worked fine with it
    the people at the apple store said the nano was charging there
    i did get rid of all my software for my mini and put all the needed software on the computer for the nano.
    so one question...what do i do?
    oh, and i only have 3 more days to return it if it doesnt work

    Do you have service pack 4 installed on your windows? If not you need to get that downloaded and installed from microsoft.
    To view which service pack that you have installed, right click on My Computer (either the icon on your computer desktop or in your windows start bar) and then left click on "properties." Your service pack information should be displayed in the window that comes up.

  • Nano wont charge

    I bought a used ipod nano 3generation. My laptop windows vista. wont charge ipod and say device not recognized. Any help on this please. should i just take it back.

    This might help you out:
    http://www.everythingusb.com/usb2/faq.htm
    It provides a description of USB 2.0 and how to tell if you have that version installed.
    Or if you prefer Microsoft:
    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/bus/USB/USBFAQ_intro.mspx
    I believe (I could be wrong) that the iPod requires the USB 2.0 port as it provides 500 mA of power. The older USB 1.1 can provide anywhere from 100mA to 300mA of power - enough to charge the iPod but not very quickly. USB ports built into keyboards are pretty useless as they can only supply about 40mA of power at most.
