My son received an IPOD photo. I put it on my USB port overnight, it charged, he took it to school, he liked it.. All should be good now right?
So the next day he took it to his bedroom, plugged it in to his MAC G5. Next day it was not charged. It showed it was connected and all.
I took a 5VDC regulated wall wart and put a USB connector on it so he did not need to plug into "my" computer and he wanted to charge it in his room. It did not charge. And again it showed it was connected.
I told him use his PC downstairs (he was hoping to charge it in his room). His PC would not charge it. But it showed it was connected and charging again.
I thought it must be the battery, bought a new battery. Guess what, same problem.
Anyone up on USB or IPOD USB charging? OR have an idea why one computer will charge it?
Also, I replaced the 500MA 5VDC with 1.1AMP 5VDC regulated (think it needs more power) and still no charge.
But it shows it is connected and charging. They all show it is charging, but the battery bar does not move overnight and it does not run long.
Only my PC will charge it (I am staring at it now )??? And it will have a solid bar in the AM. He is thinking about a none MAC product now... He had a Zen that worked for a year and gave that to his brother.
