    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. Help?

    my ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. I'm not sure what generation it is, its an 80GB. Help?

    The battery is possibly unable to take as much power as a normal battery. It may need a replacement battery.

  • Ipod touch will only charge when I press up on the charger

    My ipod isn't recognizing the USB wire properly, and will only charge when I press it in a certain way (where the wire connects to the ipod)
    please help!

    Have you tried another cable?
    Do you have a wall charger? If so, have you used it and tried other outlets?

    My phone will only charge when completely dead. When charging it turns on as usual, however it discontinues its charge when the screen comes on. It won't charge again until it dies from 1% how do I fix this fast. I need my phone daily for work.

    If changing out the charging unit and the cable doesn't work, bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

    Nonsense, and very misleading advice.  I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4  through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones.  Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either.  Hack your phone and have update problems?  I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • 2 x ipods 1 will play music on docking staitons x 3 the other will only charge

    I have 2 ipods in this house and 3 docking stations.  The first ipod is the 4th generation 8gb and the second is a 16gb 4th generation. 
    The 8gb ipod will charge and play music on all 3 docking stations, however, the 16gb will only charge on all of them.  I am tearing my hair out trying to figure out whether it is the ipod or not.  i have matched  the settings on both ipods so they are the same and still no music on the docking station.
    I would be really greatful if anyone can shed some light on this for me, coz im dammed if i know!!!!!!!

    Do both had the same iOS version?

  • My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

    My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

    Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

  • My Iphone will only charge when it is off???

    I just got my iphone 4 about around june of this year and ever since two or three days ago I plugged my phone in because it was dead and it would not charge but when i got it home to charge it it charged all the way and not today its doing the same thing it will only charge when it is off and then as soon as the cord powers it back on it will stop charging and say 10 pecent batt left... I bought a new cord and it still does not charge my phone idk what to do this is really annoying i also tried my charger in another iphone 4 and it charged that phone so its not the cable it has to be the phone but the phone is brand new and never has been damaged i am going to verizon to hopefully get a new phone but in the mean time looking for any suggestions or tips or maybe somene is having the same problem too

    Also when i have the charger plugged in after the phone dies it will show the charging batt symbol but as soon as it powers back on it says 10% battery life again and then when i power it off WITH THE CHARGER STILL CONNECTED the phone will not show the charging battery symbol again whihc means i have to take the charger out and put it back on and it dose it all over again charges with off but as soon as it powers on automatically it stops charging

  • My iPhone 4 is 3 years old, and recently the Flash will only work WHEN it wants to... Anyone got any ideas what I need to do?

    My iPhone 4 is 3 years old, and recently the Flash will only work WHEN it wants to... Anyone got any ideas what I need to do? Does it need to be repaird in an Apple store? if so does anyone know roughly how much it would be? Or would a simple Restore work?
    Thank you in advance for replies

    Take it to an Apple store. Most likely you will have to get a replacement for which you will be charged the replacement fee.
    Rice only absorbs water. But it cannot prevent damage to the device.

  • IPod will not charge when iTunes in open in Windows 2000

    I have a problem with WIndows 2000 iTunes install where the iPod will connect but as soon as it has finished synchronizing the iPod will go back to the main screen and stop charging. I saw several posts on this with no resolution.
    I dont have a fix yet but I do have a work around.
    Fire up iTunes and plug in the iPOD. It will recognize it and sync. Then select Options and in the iPOD tab uncheck the box which says " launch iTunes when iPOD connects" or something similar. Apply and Exit from options menu.
    iTunes will resync with the iPOD. You can now disconnect the iPOD and close iTunes.
    Now if you connect the iPOD, iTunes will NOT launch and the iPOD will charge fine, at least mine does:-)
    If you now run iTunes it will still connect automatically with the iPOD as before and do all the usual stuff. The only downside to this workaround is that you have to manually start iTunes ( hardly a big deal) and close it and disconnect then reconnect the iPOD ( or just connect it and not start iTunes) for it to charge.
    Works for me.
    There was a lot of black magic quoted on this support site relating to buying chargers, third party or otherwise and USB not having enough power on thursdays with a 7 in the date or having to use a powered hub of a particular color , alien interference etc etc. All bogus.
    Its an Apple software problem and I hope they fix it in the next iTunes release.
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the info, but I finally found what was the problem.
    It seems to be related to Itunes config and Nano firmware. I found another post talking about this "Topic: Self-ejecting Nano".
    I had to enable disk use in ipod options, but this causes me to manually eject Nano.

  • What should I do when my ipod 4 only charges when dead and stops at 20%? Please help

    So my ipod recently stopped charging properly. It only charges when my ipod dies and stops at 20%. I've only tried one wall charger so far, but could this be a big problem? I've had this ipod for about a year now

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

  • IPod will only charge using USB

    hi, my ipod will not charge using a 110 or 12 volt charger, but will using USB - ideas? i restored and updated it.

    If you are referring to the iPod Classic, it will only charge via the dock connector USB cable, either using a PC USB port or iPod wall charger. It also has a built-in safety circuit that will trip if the charging current goes above 1A at 5V.. So most 10W iPad charger will not work on the classic, unless it has a dual output port for lower current.
    You can find these dual ports 10W iPad charger on eBay or Amazon.
    Have a nice day!
