If I plug in my iPod nano in an electrical outlet it won't charge after I haven't used my ipod for 2 days. I plug it because it won't charge with the pc. Any help?

Is the battery completely dead? if not try resetting it with the middle + menu button held down simultaneously for a few seconds.


If it's completely dead, then your Ipods battery May be screwed or the ipod is just acting stupid...which they do. :blank:

if not that then your ipods Usb charger is not working well, or the inlet is not working/getting a reaction from being plugged in.

does your Ipod load in itunes? and can you look at the data, in the drive?(if the battery isn't finished).

iPod won't appear in iTunes w/o energy. But If I connect my iPod to the pc it says :"Very low battery Please wait". And I'm using a power adaptor, because it's 110v and we use 220v

So your not using the usb cord for the Ipod? try it. wait you are... :mad:


psychomilitant

Yeah I use it, but if I connect it instead of charging it drains the battery

I think your battery is screwed, what Version do you have?

Call the ipod company. for professionals. also did you try reseting it while it's in connected to the computer. since it shows some sort of activation, while connected try that.

if not then

did u tried by waiting actually? because the same happens with most of the cell phones, when u dont use it for some time and the battery gets empty it takes a while of charging before being able to use it again.

psychomilitant

I've done that. I plugged it into an electrical outlet for 20 mins and nothing happened

Valodim

Yeah battery is screwed, or even the pod itself. Bad luck :P

psychomilitant

It must be the adaptor. iPod says " Very Low Battery Please wait " When connected to pc. I've gone to this issue already before, but I forgot what I did to fix the adaptor

tried a different adapter? the adapter for the electrical socket in the wall is different than the one that goes into the computer? i thought you connected the usb into the adapter then connected it to the wall, the nano doesn't even come with the adapter your talking about.

maybe you shouldn't be using it?

psychomilitant

Yes. Different. USB cord different than Adaptor

220vt's of energy on little ipod nano, not meant for the nano?....hhhmmmmmm....
(at least i think i'm sure there is no adapter that deems itself compatible.)

seems you destroyed your battery.

psychomilitant

In the adaptor it's 110v, so I use a transformer to convert it to 220v

unfortunately from what i gathered from you.  It seems to conclude that you destroyed your ipod by using more charging power than it needed.

psychomilitant

I've been using that method for weeks, and never charged the ipod to full battery. Always 3/4 battery

Rajaa Retired

still forces improper energy amounts.

psychomilitant

So this means I have to buy a 220v adaptor?

Rajaa Retired

no, this means use the adapter that comes with the Ipod...but it's too late now.

that may very much be too much power for the nano to gather at once, you shouldn't have used that adapter.
