Why wont ipod 5G charge

For Christmas 2012, I got an ipod 5g. Now its july 2013 and my ipod wont charge at all! yesterday it was charging normally and then it would only charge if the charger was at a certain angle. I dont have any spare chargers. My ipod was brand new.It wont charge to anything ive tried my computer, USB adaptor. I've blowed in the charging hole and nothing has happend! Ive tried pressing the home button and off button but it doesnt do anything! Please help!!!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- 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.

Why wont my phone charge when i plug the usb into my laptop?, Why wont my phone charge when i plug the usb into my laptop?

why wont my phone charge when i plug my usb into my macbook air?

Most USB ports can't supply the power required to charge a phone.
The original USB port was limited to 0.5 amps at 5 volts which is 2.5 watts.
Your phone probably has a 10 watt charger.
Recent machines allow more power from the USB port but I doubt they allow 2 amps which is what would be required to get 10 watts. Even if they did a 2 amp draw is going to be a heavy load on the MBA battery.

Why wont my battery charge past 95

why wont my battery charge past 95%

Battery may not show a full charge in Mac OS X
If the battery icon in the Finder menu bar is set to show the percentage of charge , you might sometimes notice that the battery does not attain a full 100 percent charge when the power adapter is attached. This is normal behavior; battery life is maximized if charging is not continuously cycled on and off when the battery’s charge capacity is between 95 and 100 percent. When the battery level eventually drops below 95 percent, it will charge all the way to 100 percent.

Why wont my iphone charge from my computer after ios 7.1 update?

I have a windows 8.1 PC. I use it for work. I also have an iphone. Today, I updated the ios on my phone to 7.1. During the update, the phone was connected to my PC usb port with the apple charging cable to keep it charged. The update finished, and I noticed that the battery was at 66%. It was 100% before I started the update. There was no lighting bolt/charging symbol. I disconnected the phone from the computer. I plugged it into the apple wall charger. It charges from that. I tried another apple cable on the PC. Still no dice. I do get the sound from the PC that a device is being connected/disconnected when I plug/un-plug the cable from the phone on the PC. When the phone is connected to the PC, It won't show on "this PC" as any device. I did try re-starting the PC. I did update Itunes, and did a back up of my phone before the update, using the exact same cable.

Why wont my phone charge properly?

I try charnging my iPhone 5, and I have to blow into the connector and twist the cord around my phone so it can sit there and charge, if I move it in the slightest it wont charge. My phone vibrates non stop through this process, and it is extemely annoying. Do I have to bring it to an apple store?

Why wont new ipad charge done a reset pluged in all night no joy please help

new i pad wont charge

Not sure from your question how you are trying to charge your iPad. Many users try to charge by connecting the iPad to a USB port on a computer. The best way to charge your iPad is to use the charger that came with it and plug that into a known good wall outlet.
If you are using the charger plugged into the wall and the device is not charging you should
First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Then make absolutely sure the wall outlet is good. If the iPad still won't charge the problem lies in one or more of following:
Charger is faulty.
Cable is faulty.
iPad socket is faulty.
Charging circuit in iPad is faulty.
If you now someone with an iPad ( doesn't matter which model) you can try their charger to eliminate that.
Borrow someone else's lightning cable to eliminate that.
If still no joy, make an appointment at an Apple store to have them look at your iPad, cable, charger, etc.

I doubt your iBook has 215 MB of RAM. Maybe 256 MB.
Yes you can install Leopard with only 256 MB of Rambut not iOS 7 on a 4G iPod
Leopar is the last OS for a G4 and requires 5112 MB per

Why wont ipod connect to itunes?

Just got the latest iTunes update and it no longer sees my iPod. Tried resetting ipod, and re-installing iTunes. I see it in the My PC window but iTunes is dumb now for some reason. (Win 8.1)

See

- 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
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

WHY WONT MY IPHONE CHARGE!?HELP PLEASE!?

Soo I've had my iPhone 5 now for a little over a month.. Everything was cool, but tonight my phone won't charge!! It's Dead now , I've been SO careful with my phone . So I know I didn't tear it up .. When i noticed it wasnt charging At first when I would jiggle the cord around it would charge , but now it's not doing anything .. It's just completely dead
Can someone PLEASE help?????????

Hi - if the cable fits tightly at each end then it sounds like you have a defective cable - it is still under warranty so I would start by contacting Apple and see what they say - go to - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ - when you do get a new cable, be sure to let the phone charge for several hours before you turn it on because it does not work directly from the charger.

Why wont my phone charge

Hello
I wonder if anybody can help!
My iphone will not charge first it displayed charger not recognised and then nothing afterwards!
Have tried different chargers and still nothing!

Try cleaning out the dock connector on the phone. Use air to blow anything out in the connector. Sometimes that will cause the charging to not work.
