Not charging and unknown device

So, here is my problem. My sister got an ipod for christmas. I hooked it up to my computer off the bat and it worked perfectly. She takes it with her to our dad's house, he plugs it in his labtop to try and charge it for her. Well it doesn't do it. So i get it back to my house and plug it in and nothing. It shows up as unknown device. I went and bought a wall recharger, it won't recharge. Right now it only comes on, when hooked up to my pc and then shuts off. I can't do anything with it right now. Any solution to this problem? My ipod which is an 80gb hooks up fine but her fourth gen. nano doesn't.

And if I may......the pillow over your chargers IS A REALLY BAD IDEA. Sorry.....retired from the fire department and have heard too many stories about charger cords shorting out. There I'm done with my rant.

  • HT3964 Installed a new battery for a Macbook 2,1 New battery not charging. Battery symbol shows (Not charging) and replace battery. Green LED on magsafe connection. Disconnection results in an instant shutdown.

    I have just installed a new Battery after the old one showed (Not Charging) and when you clicked on this icon the dropdown"condition replace now". Problem now is the computer still shows the same message in the top bar (Not Charging) and the dropdown also shows "condition relace now". the magsafe show the greem LED i.e not charging, but providing power. If you disconnect the magsafe the computer powers off instantly confirming we have power. I have carried out resetting the SMC controller and still no change. Tested the standby voltage on the magsafe pins etc, all in spec. What should I do now, as I don't want to keep spending more and more. Bellow is the info from the system profiler.

    Interesting, since I'm experiencing similar issues (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20098653#20098653)

  • HT5654 Hi my wife has a 2008 iPod Touch which has not been used for at least 5 years.  It will not charged and I have tried to carry out a DFU with out any result.  Any ideas please?

    Hi my wife has a 2008 iPod Touch which she has not used for approximately 5 years.  It will not charge and I have tried to carry out a Device Firmware Upgrade to no effect.  Can anyone please help?

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead.

    My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead.  I updated the software about 2 weeks ago but since the phone is dead I can find out which version I have.  It started giving me the prompt "this accessory does not support charging this device".  I tried charging in my car, two separate wall chargers and on my MacBook Pro.  Have never had a problem charging it before.  When I would try to charge it, I would get a green battery icon with a plug in it, indicating the battery was fully charged.  I now have it plugged into a wall charger, it shows the lighting bolt and nearly drained battery but the phone will not turn on.  Any ideas?

    You probably need to do this...

  • My iphone 5 will not charge, and will not power on.

    My iphone 5 is 14 months old and it will not charge, and it has died. My charger cable works as it charges my ipad, and I also used a second charger for good measure. Please help.
    When I try to power on, it goes to the battery sign with the lightning bolt underneath.
    It has been on the charger for a while, and still no luck.
    I tried a hard reset to no avail, and I connected it to my computer, but it is dead and itunes won't recognize it if it is dead.

    Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.

  • So, my ipod touch 4th generation has stopped working. every time i plug it into a wall or an outlet, it will regester that it has been plugged in, but it will not charge, and trurn on. does anyone have any suggestions? thank you.

    my ipod touch has stopped working. I will plug it into a wall, or computer, and it will register that it is plugged in, but it will not charge and turn on. does anyone have any advice? thank you.

    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.

  • My Ipad will not charge and Ihave booted it and still no chargeing tryed computer and wall plug

    my Ipad will not charge and Ihave booted it and still no chargeing tryed computer and wall plug

    The best way to charge an iPad is to use the charger that came with it connected to a known good wall outlet. The following might be the problem.
    No power in the outlet.
    Bad charger unit. Try a different charger.
    Bad cable. Try a know good cable.
    Dirt in the connector on the iPad. Check and clean.
    A fault in the charging software. Reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    A hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    can you please tell me whats wrong with my mbp and how do i resolve it

    First check the connections on the power adapter and the MBP.  Make certain that they are clean and see if the spring loaded connectors on the power adapter are not stuck.
    Try a SMC reset:

    If available, try another power adapter.
    If no success, bring the MBP and the power adapter to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.
