Only ipod mini can be charged with supplied usb cable? ..Really?

I just read in fine print in an obscure part of support site that only the ipod mini can be charged with the "supplied" cable? Is this true? No, come on really? But, I...I,I,I just paid 500 clams for the top of the line shiznit and it doesn't come with any kind of charger? Is apple gonna send me back to the store? No way,I thought apple was down for the little guy...I gotta go buy an A/C charger? 30 more duckets?

welcome to the forums!
your ipod doesnt need a power ac cable. Every time you connect ur ipod to your pc, it should start charging the batterie auto matically. Just leave your pc on all night long with the ipod connected, and in the morning your good to go!

HT1476 My iPod touch won't charge with the USB cable.

For some reason my iPod touch (4th gen) will not charge when I plug it in with my USB cable in my pc. No symbol on the front, nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks or any help. Oh yeah, the pc CAN sense the device, it shows up on iTunes.

I updated I tunes today , now I am unable to open my I Pod I Touch, the screen shows the I Tunes logo with a USB cord and arrow pointing back up to the icon, can't access my Home page

The screen indicates that your device is in recovery mode. It has to be restored by connecting it to a computer with itunes. Restore to factory settings.
This happens sometimes. Hopefully you have a backup.

Brand New 80GB Ipod connects on and off with my usb cable

hi, i just got a new 80gb ipod for xmas, and when i plug the usb cable to my ipod, it connects sometimes, and sometimes doesnt, and when it does, it disconnects sometimes too, i usually have to keep moving into different usb ports and one will work, then not work again, then work again later. i even tried my friends cable and its the same thing, i think somethings wrong with the port in the ipod, can anyone help ?

Turn it off. If it got wet somehow, you may try drying your ipod off. The slow method would be a sunny window sill. You could use a hair dryer on LOW, pointing it at the contacts. When it drys out, charge itand try a hard-reset. If it still doesn't function properly.... ?

Where is the phone number on the iPod?
If you have an iPhone with iOS and use the same ID for Messages and FaceTime as on the iPod the iPhone's phone number will be listed for Messages and FaceTime on the iPod.
If you changed phone numbers on the iPhone, sign out of Messages and FaceTime and then sing back in. Then do the same a little while later on the iPod.
For some info see:
iOS: About Messages

My ipad won't charge with the usb cable

I took my Ipad on vacation with only my usb cable, expecting to charge off another computer. No charge! Since then I have tried several other cables, no luck. Is my Ipad problematic?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Since update,mini ipad wont charge with cable and charger.Bought new one same thing.

Since i did the 7.0.4 update, my mini ipad wont charge with the factory supplied charger and cord. I bought a new cord and charger and it still would not charge. I only have it 8 months. Help

At 8 months you're still within the one-year warranty (even without extended AppleCare warranty).
I would suggest taking the device (and your chargers) to an Apple Store if there is one nearby, or call AppleCare at 1-800-275-2273 in the U.S. (see http://www.apple.com/contact/ for AppleCare support numbers outside the U.S.) to see about getting the device serviced.

Can no longer charge Nano with the USB cable

My iPod Nano (1st gen) won't charge via the USB cable any more. It will sync if there is enough battery life when I hook it up to the USB cable. However, if I leave it hooked up, it gets drained of all it's battery life. Fortunately I have a wall charger and a car charger and both of them will charge the Nano. It's a lot more convenient for me to charge it via my computer, but that's not possible any more. Is my Nano dying or is it possible the USB cable is damaged? If it's damaged, how can it sync but not charge? Why can I charge with other power sources but not the cable? Unfortunately, I don't have another iPod cable to test if the cable is damaged. If my Nano is dying, can you give me a rough estimate as to how long it will be before it stops charging all together. (I need to prepare my spouse for the upcoming iPod Touch purchase that will appear on credit card.)
Thanks.........Julie

Here's my own trial and error analysis of my problem. I hooked my iPod up to my old G4 PowerBook and tried to charge it from there. It didn't charge but it also didn't lose any more power that I could tell. I then hooked it up to my MacBook's first USB slot. I heard that the first slot has more power than the 2nd slot due to the way the 2 USB ports are configured. Unfortunately, the iPod appeared to have lost some power, i.e. the USB port drained some of the power from the iPod.
I'm guessing I need to take it in to have my USB ports checked out. I prefer to take it to an Apple store with a Genius bar that is 3 hours away instead of to our "local" Apple repair shop that is an hour away. I have Apple Care and I believe my local shop will still charge me for time.
Thanks for the suggestions. Until I find a day when I can take the long drive, I'll just charge my iPod from with a wall charger. I'm grateful the iPod syncs and I have an alternate way to charge.

Ipod mini won't charge from mains.

My ipod mini won't charge from the mains lead or a dock but works fine with the usb lead. I've tried different leads, sockets and resetting it but nothing works. It's a pain because if I go away from home for any length of time, I need to take my laptop just to charge it up.
ipod mini Windows XP

I say try a different charger. When I wanted to avoid having to take my laptop everywhere, I bought this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BNZLGE/ref=pdcp_etitle/002-2209999-2570423?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=172282
and it's worked fine in the six months I've had it... and besides it would cost under $10 to find the root of the problem, much more than Apple would charge, that's for sure.

My ipod isn't charging with the ihome, but is with the usb cable?

I can charge my i-pod with the usb cable, but two days ago, it stopped connecting to my i-home dock. my i-phone still docks to it, i don't know what happened. please help.

Make sure the iPod is full seated in the dock
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Can I charge my iphone4s in the cpu with the usb cable?

I've been trying to charge my phone at my work with the USB cable and the cpu but I can't. are there any settings on this since when ever I get home and charge my phone there is no other problems.

Why don't you contact your IT department?

Can the Charge with a case fit in the Samsung media dock? or do I have to take the case off?

can the Charge with a case fit in the Samsung media dock? or do I have to take the case off?
thanks!

Dear SandraW,
Of course, there are may cases out there for the Charge but I would have to say generally, no. I have the desk dock and it looks like the Charge fits very snugly into the dock, and that the seat molded into the dock for the phone is an exact match for the side profile of the Charge.
I have the shell/holster case for the Charge that is standard VZW accessory, and having the Charge in the shell portion of the case would prevent it from docking.
I do have a Skin-It skin on the back of the phone, and this does NOT prevent docking.

IPod Classic won't charge with iPad AC charger

I want to charge my iPod classic with my iPad's AC USB charger (model number A1357) but it doesn't seem to work. With the AC charger is plugged into a wall outlet and the iPod classic connected to the charger with a USB sync cable, the iPod doesn't charge. The same charger and sync cable charge my iPad without any problem. Also, using the same cable, I am able to charge the iPod Classic through the USB port on my wired Apple keyboard.
Any ideas what is wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

It should work. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3044169?start=0&tstart=0
