Shuffle won't charge from car

I bought a shuffle for my wife's car which has a USB connection. It won't charge from it and it also has an extremely low volume which can't be adjusted because the volume adjustment is built into the earphone cord. Is there any solution to this before I get rid of this shuffle? My nano works in there perfectly.

I know if the iPhone's internal temperature if over a designated temp, you can't charge the battery until the internal temp has been reduced. This is protection for the battery and internal components since charging increases the internal temp.
When this occurs, the charging indicator will switch to showing as being fully charged.
Are you using a case?
Charging increases the internal temp of the iPhone, and using GPS will also increase the internal temp of the iPhone. Combined must have increased the internal temp of your iPhone past the designated temp when charging stops. Using a case can prevent heat from being dissipated properly.

IPhone 3G won't charge from car adapter when battery is low

I regularly use my Griffin car charger to charge my iPhone 3G. It seems to work well most of the time.
When my iPhone 3G is very low on battery charge, I discovered that the the iPhone will no longer charge via the car charger. Only way I can recharge the iPhone is via the cable connected directly to my computer or via the wall adapter.
Is this a normal behavior? Very unfortunate if it is since forcing a mobile user to connect to a wall outlet or a computer makes no sense.

I too don't want to send my 1st gen nano in unless I get a 1st gen back (others won't charge from my car integration system). Anyone know how to contact Apple to get this answer??

iPod nano (1st generation) Replacement Program

My ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially died?

my ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially die?

maybe you can control the room temperature.... i try to charge iPod shuffle beside the mini fan, so heat from shuffle can blown away... or maybe, you can charge the iPod in Air Conditioned room....
i think this device have a mechanism to cut off the charging process if device temperature too hot. such a safety system so this ipod won't burn out when overcharging.
i hope it can help you...
and trust me IT WORKS....

Ipod video 60 GB won´t charge from USB

Hi my ipod won´t charge thru usb cable instead it will deplete the whole battery, I have tried connecting it in several ports, several computers and with 3 different usb cables with no luck, I noticed it will only charge thru my old firewire charger and dock, what can I do? When plugged into the usb cable it says "charging" but it does not.
I have resetted everything with no luck.
Thank you

I have changed it from usb ports I have putted it in different computers and nothing, when connected to the usb port of any computer back, front sides or wahtever it doesn´t charge it actually drains the battery, I have also drained the battery fully and let it off for 2 days and no still won´t charge from usb after 5 hours connected to the usb, it will only charge via a firewire charger or my monster cable.

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.

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.

Hello loisflmom,
I love my iPod shuffle, and I would be concerned too if it wasn't charging. I found an article that addresses issues with charging the iPod shuffle more specifically. I recommend following the steps under the section titled, "iPod shuffle doesn't respond or won't turn on" in the following article:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Brand new IPOD Shuffle won't charge battery!

What am I doing wrong???
I did download and install ITUNES, and added a bunch of songs that show in ITUNES,(that I put on the IPOD) and when I dock it, it blinks yellow, then goes to solid green. After I eject it, I try to turn it on, but, I get no light, and it won't play.
Any ideas?

I am having a similar problem with my iPod shuffle 2G. I read that the shuffle would not charge properly unless it was plugged into a high speed USB port (which I later discovered my computer does not have). I bought an A/C adapter in order to charge it from the wall (not from Apple). I charged it overnight until the light turned green. I disconnected the iPod and turned it on; the light stayed green for two seconds, then went off, and the iPod does not play.
I contacted Apple Support, and the only suggestion they could offer was that the A/C adapter I bought is not the correct one. I am now waiting for a second wall charger to arrive, to see if that in fact is the case. The iPod did in fact sync and load songs with no problem despite not having a high speed USB port. Anybody else experience this?

IPod won't charge with car charger or on stereo dock..

A couple months ago, my iPod Nano (1st gen) stopped charging with the car charger and my stereo dock for no apparent reason. Is there some sort of setting that got switched in iTunes that prevents it from charging from other sources, besides the computer?
It charges just fine when I connect it to my PC...but it just doesn't charge when I connect it to the car charger, or my stereo dock...
Thanks in advance.

No, iTunes probably wouldn't be affecting your iPod's charging from anything but a computer.
Have you tried resetting your iPod?
Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 10 seconds.
If that doesn't seem to work (you might need to try it quite a few times), try taking a look at this:

I have a 4th gen Shuffle and when I try to charge it, a red light turns on and the Shuffle won't charge. How do I fix this?

So I haven't used my Shuffle in months and I don't remember how much battery was left when I stopped using it. When I connect my ipod to my laptop, a red light glows and my computer, nor my laptop will recogonize the ipod. It won't charge either. I've left it connected to an outlet and my laptop for hours but the red light won't go away. Help, please!

If you connected it to both your computer's USB port and a USB power adapter on a wall outlet, I think you've ruled out a problem with the power source. Since you at least get the red light, the USB docking cable is probably OK.
So, if it's not the USB port or the docking cable, the cause is likely to be on the shuffle. It may be the battery or a problem on the logic board. If it was just the battery, I think it would still appear in iTunes on the computer (or at least be recognized by the system).
(If this shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.)

Shuffle won't charge...nada...nothing

Hello,
My son has a Shuffle. He manages it with an older iMac Graphite updated with OSX. Since it won't charge on the iMac's USB ports, we charge it with my Windows laptop. All of sudden, it won't charge on the laptop. I've tried to restore it to factory settings on the iMac, but no luck...it doesn't even see the iPod is connected to the iMac. I think the battery might be too dead but maybe I'm wrong? How do I get it to charge on the laptop again? It's like it's not even connected and the computer doesn't "see" it at all. I have two laptops, and it does the same on both.
TIA,
Christy

Hi,
I bought an iPod USB Power Adapter today, and plugged in the Shuffle. No light is coming on to indicate that it is charging at all. Does this mean the battery is shot? I did purchase an extended warranty on it from Best Buy and I'm thinking it may be time to take it back.

E7 won't charge from a USB charger - can anyone he...

Just got my E7 earlier this week. It will charge perfectly using the mains adaptor, and when I connect it to my PC via USB, it charges, but it will not work with the car USB charger that I have. I know the charger works, because I have used it on other phones, but it will not work on my E7.
Any ideas if there is anything I can do to fix this? Will be a problem if I am using my E7 as primary music source or sat nav with no way to charge it when out and about in the car.

with regards to car charger it does depend on the voltage , I have a couple and only one works with the E7 , if the phone charges with mains and usb to computer it's obviously the actual car charger that's incompatible , if the phone won't charge at all then the fault is with the handset which requires repair or replacement under warranty !

E5 WON'T CHARGE FROM PIN HOLE

My E5 has stopped taking a charge from the original charging (PIN) Port. It will only charge from the USB port now. I hate having to turn my computer on just to charge my fone. Any suggestions?

Have you verified that the charger is providing current to your phone? You may want to contact a Nokia Care point to have the charger checked.

Charging from car lighter socket?

Has the iOS software now barred charging from the lighter socket via a 3rd party cable? I own a well loved iPhone 4S and would love this not to be so, so if you know of a fit for purpose cable, mine stopped charging the unit after iOS7 came out - common sense there i suppose could you point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

FWIW, while you might be able to get away with not using Apple certified products with iOS 7, 90% of non Apple certified devices I have tried do not work, or if they manage to work, work partially and not as advertised.
Apple certification is NOT required for the power source. USB power is USB power. Period. Whether that power comes from a car charge, a USB port on the vehicle, an external battery pack, a PC is irrelevant. There is logic embedded in the Apple cables that communicates with the device that informs the device the cable is certified. There is no logic in the power source to do any such communication.
I have multiple chargers that are not Apple certified including my vehicle. All work just fine charging multiple Apple devices. I have charged four iPads, two iPhones and an iPad mini. No problem with any of them using my non certified Apple chargers.

Shuffle won't charge or show up in i

My 4th generation shuffle will not charge, there's no light indicator and it won't show up on Itunes....(I have a PC). It was working fine and is now useless. Is this fixable?

My old generation Ipod after two and 1/2 years went belly up. Never had any prior problems. Gloria still has her old Ipod working just fine after two plus years. I purchased my first new generation shuffle July 21st. After two weeks it started to static then went dead. PC then wouldn't recognize it. Apple support then sent a replacement late July. Aug 20th, it did same as first Ipod. Again contacted Apple and went through the process of replacement. In the mean time I got antsy, went down to same store and bought another new I pod. The first time using it, (true story, I swear) It quit working and is not recognized by PC or ITunes. Beginning process to have replacement sent. The good news is the second replacement is still working after one week.
What I believe is happening is they have made these new generation Ipods 3/8" shorter, so when replaying a song, I sometimes accidently hit the pause button simultaneously, or vice versa.
