Wil only charge with the cable supplied

My new ipod 4th generation will only charge using the cable supplied ? it won't charge using my iphone 4 / 4S cable although the iphones will charge using the ipod cable, is this correct or do I have a faulty unit ?

Something is amiss with either the dock connector on your iPod or less likely the dock connector end of the cable, Some slight abnormalities can cause your type of problem.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and cables(s) for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4060 My iPad4 will not charge using the cable supplied by Apple using AC current or athrough my computer. Help!

    My iPad4 will not charge using the cable supplied by Apple using AC current or the computer. Help!

    Here are some things to check when there is a problem charging the iPad. First use the charger that came with the iPad and connect that to a wall outlet.
    1. No power in the outlet.
    2. Bad charger. Try a different charger.
    3. Bad cable. Try a different cable.
    4. Dirt, lint or fuzz in the charging ports. Check and carefully clean with a toothpick if necessary.
    5. Software glitch. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    6. Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen. Won't charge with a enercell charger that I've used since December. It will only charge with the apple USB cord that came with it. And even the takes it about 6 sec. To realize its charging. Help me fix this?

    Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.

  • My 16 gb ipod touch will only charge with the ac adaptor

    my ipod touch charges with my ac adaptor only, and no the usb charger. any ideas?

    Agreed about trying a different USB port. But, if your iTunes is recognizing your iPod from a given USB port, I would expect it would also charge from the port.

  • My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't charge with the cable

    There are no bents on the charger. When I plug it into my computer (MacBook Air) it says that a USB has used to much power and something like that... I already have my iPod updated to the ios 7. I had the iPod for about 3 months now. What is wrong with it?

    Not Charge

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use. Your error messge typically means a bad cable
    - 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.

  • Does the new iPod only charge with the computer?

    I have just recently purchased a video iPod. Soon after opening the box I realized that it did not come with a plug that would allow you to charge it using a power receptacle. The old iPod did. What is the point of having an iPod if it is not convenient to own one? If you have to carry around your computer just to charge it, why not just carry the computer with all of your songs loaded onto it? I and all who travel would like to know why the video iPod isn't as convenient as the old one.

    Here is a link to where you can get a power adapter for 6 bucks. It's the same thing but cheaper. I have one and it works perfect. It doesn's come with the usb cable so you have to use the one that came with the ipod.

  • Macbook air charges fine with the Thunderbolt screen connection but only sometimes with the 45 W chargers.

    My Macbook air charges fine with the Thunderbolt screen connection but only sometimes with the 45 W chargers. It seems to be the combination of the chargers and the computer. I was thinking whether the Thunderbolt screen has a larger power supply which easier activates the computer to actually receive the charge. It reminds me a bit of the Nokia Lumia 800 telephone, which when totally exhausted needs a strong charger to be activated again. I am as frustrated as most others.  I have got two chargers, and both of them sometimes work, other times not. Sometimes, they start working after a while. Is Apple meanwhile coming up with a solution or advice how to handle such situation?

    I just got my ATD and late 2011 MBP up and running. I've not tried running without the power adapter from the ATD plugged in, but I just tried and didn't have any problems with the display not waking. You may want to take your query to the ATD forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/peripherals/thunderbolt_display - perhaps someone there has experienced a similar issue.
    Good luck,

    Where is the phone number on the iPod?
    If you have an iPhone with iOS and use the same ID for Messages and FaceTime as on the iPod the iPhone's phone number will be listed for Messages and FaceTime on the iPod.
    If you changed phone numbers on the iPhone, sign out of Messages and FaceTime and then sing back in. Then do the same a little while later on the iPod.
    For some info see:

  • My ipad 2 will only charge if the system is completely shutdown and it can take up too 7-8 hours to reach 100% 2 hours later I'm down to 12-13% what's wrong with it?

    My grandson's IPad 2 won't hold a charge. It will only charge when the system is completely shutdown and it can take up to 8 hours to reach 100%! he's only 5 so he uses it to watch netflixs and playing games but a couple of hours after finally getting a full charge the indicater is down to 12%-13%. Keeping the system plugged up while he's using it doesn't do any good its like its not even plugged up. What could be wrong? Any assistance would be appreciated! I brought the IPad 2 in 2011 and gave it to him in 2013 when I brought myself the IPad Air...so its really not that old to be acting up...
