Why is it that sometimes when i plug my ipod into my computer, it won't charge, it'll sync though.

Question

i seriously need help with this a.s.a.p.

i'm leaving somewhere soon, and i need to charge my ipod! it already synced all of my songs, but it won't charge! also, i don't have a wall charger.. help!

Answer 1

ok reason to this is that with the Ipod u need to turn it off before pluging it in k

Answer 2

Make sure the ipod isn't hooked up to a hub, it needs to be plugged directly into the back of the computer. the reason being that the port needs to be high-powered for the ipod to actually charge from it.

Answer 3

Try another PC. If that fails, get a wall or car charger ("cheapy") from those that you get cheap. There is one that you use your USB Cable + the charger. It's risk-free! (It won't blow up your iPod!)
