Not charging or connecting to itunes

I have been trying to connect my nano to itunes (using windows platform) but my computer is not recognizing it through the USB port. I did let my nano run low on power to the point it wouldnt turn on anymore. I did the "hold down menu and select" trick and it brought up the apple logo and then died. I have tried to charge the ipod through a wall charger cradle but so far (it has been in for a couple hours) it wont turn on or even reset. Just a blank screen. As blank as the stare I have when I am looking at it. I have read posts that seemed to be related but nothing has worked thus far.

However, if you have acces to aonther computer that is know to connect to iPods I would try the other computer first.  The iPod damage may be causing the problem

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod will not charge or connect to itunes

    Hello, My name is Perla and I am a proud customer of Apple. I bought my iPod Touch 4G 8G on March 17, 2011. I had no problems over the course of almost a year. Last week, my iPod would not charge or connect to iTunes. I took it to the Apple Store and they exchanged mine for another. Just a couple of days ago, my new iPod had been experiencing the same problem. As of now, it would not charge to my computer or any outlet for that matter or connect to iTunes. I want to take it to the Apple Store and get it checked out but I'm afraid they won't exchange it again, they'll probably charge me and I don't have the money. Any ideas or suggestions?

    I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  You warranty is istll in effect.  The warranty for a replacement iPod is 90 days or the remainder of the original warranty, which  ever is greater.

  • IPod not Charging, or Connecting to iTunes when Plugged into the Computer

  • IPhone 4S will not charge or connect to iTunes

    For the last week or so, my iPhone has been dying very quickly, I end up having to charge it 4 to 5 times a day, and when it does charger, it always overheats. Suddenly, my iPhone has stopped charging and it will not connect to iTunes. I have tried resetting it, using other chargers, blowing out the charging port and updating iTunes. Every now and then, I will try to turn my phone on and it will be at 6% and then it will turn off 5 seconds later. Other times, I will try to plug my iPhone into the wall or computer and it will show the charger with lightning bolt screen and it is plugged in. I have no clue what is happening, or how to fix it. PLEASE HELP!

    I had a diagnosis done, and they said that it was not because of the battery, but they said it should be replaced.

  • IPhone will not charge, or connect to iTunes

    ive tried many chargers, & many different sorces (computer, dock, car charger, wall charger) nothing works. there is no possible way for me to charge my phone. even when i try to restore it , thats not possible because my phone wont show up. itunes it up to date so thats not the problem. ive deleted & reinstalled itune also and still not charging.  plz help.

    hmmm... did you try updating the firmware or try jailbreaking?
    try plugging and unplugging your connection 10-12 times.
    if not try a hard reset and leave the iPhone charging for about 12 hours.

  • My iphone 4 will not charge or connect to itunes.

    I got this from a friend, she had thrown the iphone against a wall and the back glass plate is broken. But it worked fine, really well. A month later it started having battery issues. Now it wont charge. Actually, i have no idea whats really wrong with it. It will take days to charge at a time and will have a full battery when it turns on, but if i unplug it from the usb it wont stay on. Even though it says its charged 100%. Now it wont turn on at all. It just has the red battery chargeing thing. Ive tried pressing the home/sleep buttons. And it wont connect to itunes. Please help me. (This is an iphone 4 16 gb).

    It's entirely possible when your friend threw the phone against the wall (breaking the back glass plate) that it damaged the internal battery of the iPhone.
    It is likely you will need to take your phone in to be serviced.
    Take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:
    TS2802 iPhone: Hardware Troubleshooting
    Specifcally the following:
    Will not turn on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if the Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) in the headset jack or dock connector is activated or there are signs of corrosion or debris. Learn more about LCIs.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    If something other than the Home screen or Low Battery screen appears on the display, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, try resetting it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter. To reset, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or the battery symbol appears.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Restore the iPhone. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

    So I have tried everything, plugging into 3 different chargers, into the wall and pc. Two different USB ports on the pc. And yet nothing. I have done all the hold down the top and home button for 10 seconds then also a minute and yet still nothing. It was was working fine charging and every thing and I unplugged it walked out of my room for about 5-10 mins go to plug it back up and nothing. I have been searching for over a hour looking for solution's. What is really crazy about it it that if I turn it off then plug into my pc the apple logo will pop up and it will come on and it seems to have charged some. But it still will not charge while on or be recognized by my pc or Itunes. I know it can't be any of the prongs on the charger port bent because it would not charge while off. Someone please help!!

  • Not charging when connected to iTunes

    Can anyone help, our 2nd generation iPod Shuffle stops charging (i.e. the orange light stops blinking) when iTunes comes on the computer.  So as soon as I connect the shuffle it blinks orange but then when iTunes automatically comes on it stops.  I have been into settings to stop iTunes coming on when I connect the shuffle and that allows the orange light to continue blinking.  iTunes recognises the shuffle and allows me to sync with it, but as soon as syncing has stopped the light just goes off.  This never used to be the case - is anyone experiencing the same problem and does anyone have a solution?  I've got the most up to date version of iTunes and I've checked for software updates for the shuffle.  This all seems to have happened since purchasing a new laptop.  Do I need to restore - if so what does that do?
    Thank you to anyone who can help.

    Thanks.. I thought the same when I noticed that after 30 mins of hooking to the laptop it got charged only 2%..
    Thanks again for the promt response

  • My iphone 4 will not go into recovery mode, and will not charge or connect to itunes. Also, it randomly shuts down.

    So when I plug it in, it doesn't recognize that it's being plugged in. I've checked the charger cord, and everything. By the way, I think it's ios 7.1.2, but I'm not sure. It's definately ios 7

    Try holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down until the Apple logo does not reappear--even if it takes a few minutes. Then try the DFU mode.
