whenever i charge my ipod 5th generation,i find myself moving the charger around for about 5minutes,the first few months the charger has worked fine now it is playing up,turning on and off charge?
I would make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. The warranty covers manufacturer's defects. Unfortuantely, if you inadvertantly cause some damage in your wiggling, it could be determined that you broke the port - regardless if it was malfunctioning before or not. Have them look at it and see what they say.

Can I use an iPhone 5 charger for charging my iPod, 5th generation
Hello to all!
I'm finding it inconvenient to charge up my iPod touch 5th generation: this product is shipped with only a Lightning connector-USB cable but has no power adapter. My Mac does have 4 USB ports but most of the time they are used to connect to my external hard drives. I wish to know whether I can use the chargers of my iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2 to have my iPod charged.
Thanks in advance!
Dr. SomannaThanks for your information!
Was unsure of this and did not want to take the risk of experimenting!
Regards and take care.

I have problems with I-tunes and the compability with windows 8. Every time I whant to load my Ipod/Iphone Itunes doesn´t recognize the pod/phone. If I change the compability to for instance windows vista it works ok.
I guess that I need some update of Itunes?

My iPod 5th generation has white lines across the screen and i cannot unlock it
My iPod has white lines across the screen. I cannot do anything! Somebody please help! P.S. I dropped it and it did this.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. I suspect that the drop damaged the iPod

My ipod 5th generation charges when connected to my PC but not recognised in itunes with windows 8.1
Why is my ipod 5th generation not recognised in itunes in windows 8.1?Connection to my PC only charges the battery.
Did this iPod previously work with this computer (running Windows 8.1), and does not now for some reason? Or is this the first time (or the first time with Windows 8.1)?
The fact that only the battery charging symbol appears on the iPod screen seems to indicate that the iPod does not recognize a data connection. It's like you are connecting the iPod to USB (wall) power adapter. It is likely that the Windows system also does not see the iPod as a connected device; you should confirm by looking at Device Manager.
You should rule out a faulty USB docking cable. The dock connector has separate connection points for power and data, so it is possible for it to connect to charge the battery but not connect for data. So, if possible, try another docking cable, or try the cable you have with another Apple device.
You should rule out a problem on the USB port. If you connect something else to the same port, does it work properly? Preferably, you should use something similar, like a USB flash drive or port-powered external drive, and try copying over some large files.
If the USB port and docking cable are OK, the cause is more likely to be on the iPod (such as a dock connector that is worn out from use). -
Best adaptor for an iPod 5th Generation
Just a quick question as to what you guys would reccomend for me to use.
I have just bought an iPod dock and an iPod 5th Generation ..not realising that the port for the speaker dock is too big to fit in the small 5th generation port.
What adaptor would i need to buy in order to fit my iPod into the speakers. I was going to buy the one for sale on here but a lot of reviews say that it isn't good?
What would you all suggest i do?
Thank you, kind regards,

This adopter let you place the ipad where you want it

This one requires that you jury rig a support for the iPod since the adopter will not support the iPod -
Why can't I sync my movies onto my ipod 5th generation?
I have an ipod 5th generation. I just bought the newest macbook pro and started making a few iphoto videos. I transferred these videos to itunes in order to load them onto my ipod. However, itunes won't sync them because they cannot play on this ipod. Why can't they play? Do I need to change the formatting?

IPod touch 5th generation won't connect to the tv after doing up grade
iPod 5th generation won't connect to the tv after doing an software update. Get an error message (this accessory is Not Supported by iPod touch) please help me with this
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

IPod 5th generation recognized in iTunes but won't charge
Hello Apple Support Community,
I'm writing this on behalf of my girlfriend, who is having problems with her iPod, I tried searching google and the forums here but I couldn't find a satisfactory answer.
Basically what happens is this:
iPod gets plugged in and shows the "do not disconnect" screen and starts charging (what comes next kind of happens simultaneously) not long after that, I'd say a minute at most, the normal menu screen comes up and the lightning symbol on the battery disappears, iTunes recognizes the device and allows you to browse the files and it gives the option to sync but we haven't done that yet (the laptop we're trying to charge it off is new and has an empty iTunes library) and we don't want to lose the data on the iPod. It works fine on other computers, i.e. she can charge it with no problem from her desktop PC and as far as i know any other PC/laptop available to us
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong and how to solve it?
Technical details:
iPod 5th generation, 60gb
Laptop brand: Samsung
OS: Windows 8
USB status: Ports all work and from what I can tell they're all 500mA
Tried:
Switching USB ports, none seem to make it charge
Resetting iPod
We don't have extra cables so we can't try switching them and we haven't tried restoring the iPod yet since we don't want to lose data.
If you need more info, let me know
Thank you very much for your time!Hello,
The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
<a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
Have you checked this link out?:
<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
If not...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!
