Help! ipod won't charge or anything

so, i'm not sure as to whether or this goes here, but...
i guess my computer is not detecting my ipod
i'll plug it in, and it will say it's charging
but when i unplug, it still has the same battery life
i can't put anything new on the ipod, and itunes doesn't pop up or read it's there when i plug it in
help would be appreciated, thanks

You'll probably need to format your iPod to this computer (i.e., restoring your iPod will do this).
Your iPod won't be able to be restored, though, if it's not recognized in iTunes.
To get it recognized, first try putting your iPod in disk mode, then connecting it to your computer. For more info on this, read here : Putting your iPod into Disk Mode
If that doesn't work to get your iPod recognized by iTunes (to restore it), give the Five R's a try. For more info on the Five R's, read here, and here.
If this doesn't work either to get your iPod recognized properly in iTunes (i.e., you should see it in the left panel of iTunes), I would suggest trying assigning your iPod a different drive letter. Follow these instructions below:
Log off of any other users on your computer.
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
After this, (whichever technique worked: disk mode, five R's, or the different drive letter), restore your iPod.
This should format it to your computer. Although this will delete all the content off of it, this may be your long-term solution (so you won't need to connect your iPod in Disk Mode every time you want to sync songs to your iPod).
I hope that helps you. If you need any additional explanatoin of those things, post back wit the details of your issue, and I'd be glad to try to help you again with this.

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 iPod doesn't charge anymore.

My iPod won't charge anymore. I have tried charging via different USB ports on my laptop, as well as connecting it to various power outlets, to no avail. I also tried rebooting it, with the same result. The model number is MC544LL/A, and I have had it for about 2 years now. Any help or suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT1338 my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore.

my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore. I've re-installed iTunes, the latest version for Tiger, I've reset and restored my iPod. The ipod shows up fine in the source banner and I can transfer files to it, however when I unplug the iPod the files are not there.

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

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

HELP! Ipod won't turn on, isn't showing up in iTunes or computer!

I finally got iTunes 8 to install today (yeah!) and bought some stuff for my new iPod Nano 8GB (previously had a 2GB 2nd Gen) Some games and music videos. Worked beautifully. When I hooked it up to my computer to add one more game before I left (last minute purchase lol) iTunes said a newer version was available for my iPod, did I want it to install. I said yes, and now it won't work. At all. It won't turn on at all, hooked up to my computer or not, it isn't recognized anywhere on my computer. If I uninstall iTunes to re-install, will I lose my library? Will that even help? I can't do the five R's, cuz the thing won't turn on! What happened??? I need help

brand new ipod less than 2 months old, occasionally it will crash and the apple logo would come up or the songs would skip but as soon as i turned it off and on it would be fine. today i tried to use it but it wouldnt turn on so i assumed it was flat, plugged it in to my speaker dock, nothing, plugged it into 2 computers and nothing, what can i possibly do to fix it?

My iPod will NOT charge anymore while it's turned on

My iPod will NOT charge anymore while it's turned on, I have to plug it in then shut it off for it to charge. And when I connect it to the computer [Or any computer] It Says it cannot recognize the device..I've tried EVERYTHING to fix this...and I don't know if I should call apple or go back to where I bought it and ask for help?..

Saying everthing is not helpful. Did "everthing" include:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod from backup
- Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
- Placing the iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod

You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

I have the same problem.. apps won't download and won't open. I have a 1st Gen ipod touch and recently upgraded my MacBook Pro (2012) and as soon as I upgraded the iPod Touch to 4.2.1, this happened. I restored to factory defaults and still cannot dl and open apps. Any way to diagnose this problem? Apple tech charges $29.99 for out of warranty products and if I am reluctant to pay with them telling me its simply a hardware problem.

My new ipod won't synch or restore

My new ipod won't synch. It comes up need to restore, then can't be restored. Error code 9. Security disabled.

Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
Try a different computer.

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.

Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore.

Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore. I restored it, I backed it up and I held the power and Home buttons for the reboot and still nothing. I've been looking to see if any one had the same problem and one guy did but they tOld him it was his hardware, but I don't think it was because my friend was able to get it working but it would stop working again like in 10min. So, has anyone had the same problem and can help? Please, I will greatly apretiate it. :)

What do you mnean that the screen does not work?
When you touch the screen the iPod does not respond?
Nothing shows on the screen?
