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 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer. It will, however, charge to the car or wall. The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.

The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone. I've since deleted this podcast with no luck. I've restarted both the phone and the computer, still no luck. One computer is running Vista and the other Windows 7, both have the latest Itunes Update. Anyone have a fix for this?

try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

Ipod Touch will not charge or connect to Itune, keeps reverting to apple logo?

My Ipod Touch will not charge or connect to Itunes/computer
Ipod switchs on charge logo appears then switchs to apple logo

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.

MBA battery does not charge when connected. Help!

My MBA battery does not charge when connected to the charger. Ive checked the other threads and followed advice but nothing seems to help.. My battery health info is good, I've tried cleaning the magnetic pins of the charger, reset smc but it still does not charge. The light on the charger is green or does not come on sometimes, and it's the same for a few Power outlets. What else can I do? Would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks.

It recognizes the charger intermittently. After cleaning, it showed the charger as connected but not charging the battery. I will try my friends charger later to see if it works. Thanks for your help!

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

I cracked the screen a few weeks ago. When I plug it into the computer, it does not charge, and it is not recognized. BUT, if I use the same USB cable, I can charge it using a wall charger.

You can try here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
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

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.

My ipod touch 5th gen will not charge when connected to pc. works when plugged into wall

I just got my 5th gen ipod today, and when i plug it into my pc (and my roommate's) they make the sound as if something is connected, but my ipod does not charge. When I plug it into my wall charger, it works fine. I've tried multiple cables, and multiple PCs, but it makes no difference. The weirdest thing though, is when I restart my computer, when it is about to close windows, it starts charging for a few seconds, then turns back off. This is so confusing. Any ideas?

Sounds like the computer's USB ports do not provide enough current to charge the iPod when the screen is on. I would connect a partially discharged iPod to the computer for a couple of hours and see it it is charged.

IPhone 4 will not charge when connected to power

I have tried the home/ power trick and at first it went to the apple logo then would power up and then cycle off and then repeat infinitely. Now the phone is so low on power that it only shows either the lightening bolt while connected or the cord + lightening bolt when not connected to power. It is still not charging though. I left plugged in overnight and still no change.Help please

If not a problem with the power adaptor or cable being used, more than likely the iPhone has a hardware problem with the battery or something else. Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
