My ipod won't charge. I can hear the sound it makes when I connect it to the computer but that's it. I have had it plugged in for 2 days.

Please help. My ipod won't take a charge. I plug it in to the computer & it makes the sound it always does when it's connected but it will not charge. The screen is black. I have had it plugged in for 2 days. Nothing is popping up on my computer, the ipod won't turn on. I'm getting nothing.

5G 30G Ipod won't charge or sync

My Ipod won't charge when connected to my laptop. It does charge when plugged into my car radio transmitter and dock. When I plug it into my laptop fully charged I get a message from windows explorer asking me if I want to scan and clean it to repair any problems. I have done this. It starts to sync with itunes (still fully charged) and then I get an error message saying the disk cannot be read. When I disconnect the Ipod there is almost no charge on the battery. I have restored the Ipod through itunes and reinstalled itunes.
I have replaced the battery and charged it again but I am still having the same problems.
I have synced an ipod shuffle on the same computer with no problems.
Any help would be appreciated! thanks.

come on guys? can anybody help?
I have run the manual diagnostics and the USB cable is recognized. I let the battery completely discharge for 5 days, rebooted it up and its draining power from the usb cable to operate, but there is no software recognition (other than in diagnostics) of the fact that the cable is plugged in. In disk mode it shows charging but does not recognize it is plugged into a computer. In normal mode it does not show charging or syncing. OS X does not acknowlede the ipod exists and windows does not recognize the device (several computers, all recognize other ipods).
I'm sure this must be a software issue but i cannot restore as i cannot get the computer to recognize the ipod! Help

Old ipod won't charge

Older ipod won't charge. 30 gig, white, I've shown videos on it, so it's one of the earlier color iPods. I gave it to my mom 2 years ago and she never used it. I've tried a wall charger and plugged it into my computers, no luck. I can't get it to turn on at all, so can't reset or restore.
Thanks for any help!

Checked some identifiers on Apple website, apparently it's a 5th generation.

TA44551 I had my screen re placed after cracking and the ipod won't recharge.

I had my screen replaced after cracking and the ipod won't re charge. Not sure if it's worth spending any more money on trying to get it fixed or even if that would be possible. Thanks

iPods are not user serviceable, but since you decided to open it up in spite of that, there's no telling what went wrong. Either send it in to someone more reputable or have the iPod replaced by Apple for $99 (if it's 64GB, $199).

Ipod won't charge using power block.

I bought an Ipod power block charger that connects into the wall and will charge the Ipod. when I hook everything up, nothing happens, the Ipod does not charge. I returned the power block thinking it doesn't won't and I exchanged it and got a new one, the same happens with this new one, nothing works. i tried different outlets. The wierd thing about this all is that I have a charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car and the Ipod charges with that. I want to be able to use this power block though, what is going on? The ipod is a 40gb third generation Ipod.

Here's some info you may find useful:
iPods without clickwheels cannot charge over USB.
iPods with clickwheels will charge over both (with the exception of the iPod Video and possibly iPod Photo).

My iPod won't charge - on any power outlet.

My iPod won't charge - it said for a while that the battery was empty (to the point of unusable) when I plugged it in, and left it plugged in for a a couple of days and now it will switch on but the battery is empty. I have tried resetting it (menu and middle button), and I have also tried to drain the battery and charge, but it does not work. there are no apple stores where I am /no genius bar so I can't go in store - and the model is recently refurbished - I swapped it out a few months ago - so shouldn't be facing any problems. Please help!

I have also tried charging it through several computers and numerous
power outlets but none work.

The ipod isn't charging and just shows an apple.

The ipod isn't charging for some reason. I can see the charge battery on screen but it's not flashing or anything. I've been charging it for a while and nothing is happening, after a while shows an apple on screen and that's all. It won't show up on itunes either for me to remove or add songs to it. We have other ipods that are working from the same power cord, so I know it's not that. I have also turned off the ipod and back on again with no change. Please help.
Thanks. K

TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

If yu can't turn it off, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and service is required.

Try holding the Capslock key with the letter you want to be capitalized. It should work.
