TS1538 My Ipod wont charge, but it says it's connected to my computer

My Ipod says it won't charge, but when it's connected to my computer it says the device is not recognized, but it connects to my computer. I've tried plugging it into a outlet and it still didn't charge.

  • Ipod can charge but itunes says its not connected

    Just got a ipod about an hour ago and connected it to my cpu and it is charging but when i try to put songs from my cpu to the ipod its doesnt show up anywhere i cant sync it and i did the diagnostics check and it says Ipod connection status failed. How do i fix it. I went to the help menu and none of it has resloved my problem.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.
    Putting iPod into disk mode.
    Still no joy, see these.
    USB drivers are not installed properly.

  • IPod can charge but no icon and non reconize by the computer

    Hi... I need your help.
    I have a Mini IPod since 2 years now and suddenly I've got a problem with it (since 5 month).
    I have tried all the solutions by myself (update, download, reset,... I've also tried to connect it with a Mac but no way, for the computer there is no IPod connected). Nothing work.
    The problem is :
    1. I can hear music but can not connect to my PC computer and download new songs in my IPod (it is connected but for my computer there is no IPod connected, so there is no way to do a hardware reset.).
    2. More weird, when it is "pluged in" with my computer, my IPod is charging without any "charging" icon.
    So, ... please ... help me :))
    Thanx

    In order, I tried the first 3 (Reset, Retry, Restart) of the 5 steps, I don't wanna Reinstall and Restore, and risk losing my music on both, find out that still didn't help, and then having to buy it all back again, which isn't cheap, its fully charged, I use USB to connect between my iPod nano and my Mac (version 10.2.8), it isn't asleep when doing this, my computer, though it says it isn't compatible with a version 10.2.8, it used to work fine for months with no problems at all, I have the lastest version of iTunes, I have no plugged in FireWire equipment, my nano has never frozen, I doubt the USB cable I use or the computer port are faulty, as the nano can still charge and other things that use the USB ports (such as the keyboard) can still work, I'm not sure if my nano's hard disk format was damaged or not, but, I must admit, i've accidentaly dropped it a couple of times, but it still would work fine by itself or when it was connected with the computer, and I don't think my nano has a faulty port.

  • My Ipod touch (4th gen) wont charge, but it will sync, and when I look at itunes the charging icon is there

    It wont charge but it is syncing, I recently updated Itunes, and the charging icon shows up on iTunes

    Did you try another USB port or the wall adapter, or another USB cable?
    Also see if a reset may help. To reset the iPod hold the sleep and home button for about 10 sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing a reset.

  • Ipod charges but is not recognized AT ALL by the computer

    this on ipod wont work but others will on this computer. it still charges though. Is there anyway we can get the ipod formated or something to get it to work. the data is not important on it so we can lose it all if needed.

    THe common thing here seems to be either the cable or the iPod.
    Can you try another cable? Does a friend have an iPod, and you can use their cable?
