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.

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!

Nano wont charge or recognize by USB, but will charge by firewire?

I have an iPod Nano. Its not that old cause I have had this issue for a while and I cant really use it cause its got a lot of old music on it. Anyway. I use the same USB cord to charge my iPhone. It is actually the same cable that came with the nano that I use for the phone. The Nano will charge by firewire, but it wont do anything via usb. Is it garbage? If so, why will it still play?

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 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.

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.

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?

I pod nano wont charge

Merry christmas all,
Subject says it all. Just got an ipod nano 4 gig for christmas and it wont charge. Tryed my sons usb lead that works for his nano 2 gig on the same computer and that wont charge my ipod either. Ipod not recognised by computer, wont turn on, cant reset, cant do anything. It is as dead as the turkey in my oven.
Anyone have a clue what is wrong or what to do?
Many thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
What do you mean by it won't charge your iPod either? Is it only charging the 2GB nano?
Try going through these:
iPod Doesn't Charge
iPod Won't Turn On

Merry Christmas!

My ipod wont charge properly

Ipod Touch 4th Gen keeps charging on and off have to move it around so it will charge, but then it wont. it happened for couple of days until tto the point it totally wont charge anymore, i tried using a different usb cable, tried to charge it on computer even reset and deleted it still dont work. what to do i do?

See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
Last, time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Wont Charge Properly

Your sentence wording is bad, I can't understand what the problem is.

Nano wont charge from vhf transmitter

Hi I have a 3G nano. It charges fine attached to the computer.
I bought a griffin itrip with the car 12V to mini USB adapter to power the itrip and nano.
The itrip will charge every other ipod I have tried EXCEPT my nano.
I have swapped the itrip and the power adapter, still charges every other ipod (all generations) except mine.
Does the 3g nano need a higher power input or is there some other problem. How have other people got on with nano and itrip?
Thanks

Newer iPods are now like some other newer USB chargeable devices out there. It used to be you just had to give them +5V and Ground on the USB pins and they would charge, end of story. So most USB chargers only have the two power pins hooked up and the two data pins are open circuits.
Now, many devices require specific configurations of the data pins as well before they will charge. Sometimes the pins are pulled high (+5V) or low (grounded) or biases somewhere in between. I guess these devices determine what charging rate to go with depending on the input it sees on those data pins. But if those data pins are not hooked up, rather than just defaulting to some slow, safe, charge rate, they don't charge at all. Very frustrating indeed.
I have seen this same thing with other devices like my daughter's cell phone which uses USB but won't charge off a generic charger.

Nano wont charge turn on or... ANYTHING!!!

Help me please... just a few days ago I bought a brand new Ipod nano and promptly went to my friends house. We had it plugged in to charge and it was going fine when somone tripped over the cord. After plugging it back in it wouldn't work. After hours of trying to turn it on and such I decided it must be a defect. However my other friend said hers didn't work but she left it plugged in and it did so I tried it and it worked. But then... I unplugged it and it said "Do not disconnect" and now it won't charge, won't work with my computer or turn on. I've tried to reset it and reload the software and everything but nothing works. Theres no posts regarding this either. Anyone have any answers??

Mine was damaged with water. Fortunately, other parts of the iPod are not damaged.There could be a problem with the battery or the charging port on the bottum of your iPod. That's what I've hade trouble with. My iPod is only 3 months old!!! I believe that you said that you recently bought your iPod? Your iPod is still under warenty, You should get it repaird. You also receieve free tech. support. The only problem is, You would have to remain on hold for a very, very long time.

Make sure the Stones songs have info in the album field in iTunes. The iPod currently has a bug where songs that don't have any info entered here won't show under artists.

Your battery probably short circuited when the iPod was turned on while the battery was still wet. Leave it alone for a week or so, and then try to charge it.

I pod nano. wont charge.. ( it says its done but its not)

i bought a 2gb ipod nano. when i connectd it to my computer, it died. and it wouldnt charge. so today i bought the power adapter and plugged it in to that. it says its charging for a bit, than it says its done. in like 2 minutes. then i unplug it from the charger, it has only a little battery "juice". (the battery indicator is red and on the empty side.
anyone know anything i can do?

See: iPod battery doesn't charge.
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.
