Ipod trouble- Charging my iPod.?

Question

Ok,

I have a 4GB, First Generation, Black (no offense intended) ipod that I got refurbshed. There is a problem though when I want to charge it. It won't charge. I use the USB device and my PC (a Dell 2006 Home Edition) says that it won't recognize it and all this jumbo wumbo.

Anyone know what to do?

Answer 1

dis happend to me before lol

i know this may sound silly but try putting the usb in other way around so dat the apple picture is at the bottom

that worked for me lol  

Answer 2

well maybe when you were charging it once you didnt eject it and pulled it out and now it wont work

Answer 3

you will need a ""USB iPod Charger "", i had the same problem as you,so i tried smething else..i bought a charger and it works.

Answer 4

okay that happened to me with my ipod mini

and when the computer charging doesnt work,

its time to get speakers or an iHome.

i got an iHome and it charges really well & fast; i leave it in there and its battery life is amazing.. ive had my ipod mini for 3 years now

iHome supports all ipods except maybe the Touch & works really well

if you dont want the iHome, then you can get portable or plug-in ipod speakers that charge your ipod

works much better than computer =]
