Won't charge or connect to computer

My ipod stopped charging and it won't connect to the computer. I turned my ipod on and it played for about 1 minute then said it needed to be recharged so i plugged it into my computer. It never connected, so I plugged it into my wall. That didn't work either. My battery has not been lasting very long lately, so I think the battery is dead. Either that, or it's the dock connector port.
Any help is appreciated.

Here's some things to check out:
Try connecting your iPod to different ports on the computer.
Visit a friend and try his/her adapter.
Have you purchased a new adapter?
Do you have an iPod with a click wheel?
Are you charging over USB/have you tried charging over firewire?

  • Droid X won't charge when connected to computer through USB

    I have a Droid X device and when I connect it to most computers it won't charge. I have the setting set to "Charge Only" but still won't charge. I have only come accross two computers that will charge the phone. Is there something else that I need to do? Other settings? Please help!

    Are you using the charger that came with the phone?  Sometimes, the 'generic' USB chargers aren't able to keep up with the charging needs of the X. 
    Are you using an older computer?  I can't help but think that some older USB ports may not be strong enough...or even broken.

    Hello Breejumpp,
    Try Reset ( No Data will be lost )
    Press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release oth On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen.

  • My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this?

    My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this? Before it died, it said I had a full battery whenever I charged it, but as soon as it came off of the charger, the battery level was always under ten per cent.

    Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced.

  • IPhone 4S won't charge or connect to pc.

    My iPhone 4S won't charge or connect to pc. I've tried several cables, power adapters and pc's and nothing helps. I also tried connecting other iPhones and iPads and they worked well. Also when my iPhone is off it can charge.

    I would restart

  • My BlackBerry PlayBook won't charge when connected to the computer via the micro-USB to USB cable

    Can anybody help me? I don't know why but lately, when I try to plug my BlackBerry PlayBook into my Windows 7 laptop using the micro-USB to USB cable, it connects to my computer without any problems but it won't charge. Instead, I get a notification in the top left corner saying "Unable to charge battery with connected sorce". I have four USB ports and I'm positive that they work just fine because I plugged in some of the USBs I own into each of those four ports and they recognized the USBs without any issues. Does anybody know how I can resolve this issue? Thanks.

    The notification is by design and was added to clarify that USB charging is not to be relied upon as a main method of charging. Instead RIM's good intention has caused confusion.
    USB (by design) can not provide the amount of power the device needs while it's being used. Technically, it is still trickle charging but the screen has to be off (and I'd turn off Wi-Fi too) since they are high power draining items.  I have verified that the PlayBook does indeed still charge but it takes much, much longer than plugging it into a wall charger or rapid charger. In a crunch it will work but the computer has to be on the entire time. A full charge would take many hours.

  • IPod touch won't charge or respond to computer

    I recently lost my iPod, but a wonderful woman found it and returned it to me. However, when I tried to plug it into my small iHome to charge it, as it had been mostly dead, it wasn't responding. It won't charge in the iHome (and it's too low of a battery to play any music, though I think it still can). I tried charging it with a wall charger with several different outlets and USB cords. Nothing. I tried plugging it into my mac laptop, and it doesn't even seem to read that the iPod is there.
    I'm worried it's the inside that's given out, where the ipod connects with everything (sorry, I'm not good with termonology). Could it be something else? Is there something I can do to fix it, or is my poor little iPod doomed?

    That actually did help a lot, thanks! It never said it was charging, but by the morning the battery showed it was almost full!
    But now it's still running slow. It's been freezing up, and now the sound doesn't seem to be working. Songs won't start or will stop randomly, with no sound using it's internal speakers, head phones, or my iHome. It just starts making clicking noises that worry me. It also won't sync to my computer.
    I've turned it off for several minutes and turned it back on, then reset it (holding both the on/off and home button down). I can see other ways of resetting it if needed.
    Is the sound, or some internal chip/board, just shot? It is a bit old, and when I checked it over again I saw a nice dent in the back, so I worry it may have fell harder than I thought when I lost it.
    I'm thinking my little iPod is on its last leg, but please someone correct me if I'm wrong!

  • New ipod touch won't charge/sync on the computer or using a wall charger?

    My new ipod touch was working and i synced it on itunes and downloaded some apps and then it suddenly could not recognise it and stopped syncing.
    it came up with error 0xe8000001 and said the iphone cannot be found, eventhough it's an itouch not iphone.
    Now the error does not come up but it's not recognised on any of the computers. The cable is fine as it works for other ipods. It won't charge on the wall charger either and the battery is almost out. It syncs for about one second when i plug the usb into the computer and beeps and then disconnects again.
    Please help?

    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 the screen blacks out or 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.  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."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

    My iPod 4g hasn't been recongize by iTunes and it won't charge when it is pluged into my wall or pc.I'm struggling to find a way to fix it.
    It has been like this since yesterday and nothing had changed.I plugged it into the wall also and still it won't charge.What should I do?I'm desperate for answers.

    After charging for half an hour, reset the iPod and connect the iPod to the syncing computer and try to restore the iPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.o
    - If iTunes does not see the iPod, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPOd.  For recovery mode see:

  • Annoying incessent beeps in videos / won't charge when connected to CPU

    First of all my battery couldnt hold a charge within 2 months of buying my 5G Ipod, so I sent it in and got a new one. The new one has a couple of problems, one of which the old one had as well.
    The one thing both iPods have not been able to do is charge when connected to the computer. They can connect fine, but if my battery is dead or low, it won't connect and I have to recharge it on my charger before connecting it to the comp. My old 4thG (Which died right after warantee expired) was able to charge on my comp.
    However my major issue is that my video's have loud and annoying beeping sounds throughout when I play them. I've done the 5 R's(many times), it does it for downloaded files as well as some official apple ones that someone suggested. It does not beep when TV-Out is selected but does start beeping as soon as I try to view it from the player. It does it to ALL my videos, ones that worked fine for my previous 5G. Audio files work fine.
    iPods have given me nothing but trouble as this is my 3rd one.

    The USB mouse and printer do not draw any current from the USB port, so there's no info there. As you've stated, since your USB HDD uses an external power, that's not helpful either. I'm out of suggestions except you can see if someone else has a USB-iPod connector to try on your MacBook. BTW, if your IPT has a volume control on the left side, it's a G2.

  • New iPad Won't Charge when connected to Mac laptop

    Heading pretty much says it all. I get a window that says something like "this acessory won't charge" or something like that on the computer screen. I can download music just fine, but the computer won't charge the unit.
    Anybody else have that problem?
    Thanks,

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes.

    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
