I would troubleshoot the device first....try using a different USB port first to make sure it's not just a faulty USB port...If it still doesn't work the device may be defective.....Also make sure your IPod is working because it might be the IPod that's defective and not the charging dock. Good luck

Hello , well I had the same problem I bought 3 different chargers and none worked my ipod also did nothing.

I called Apple and they talked me through it..plainly the charger is useless. You can charge it with the little cable that came with your iPod directly through the computer. Hope this helps since we are doing this my husband hasn't had a problem. Apple has the correct charger for around $30..Will be looking into when we start traveling.

If you have the older charger, and buy a new battery it will not work....they have added an additional slot on the new battery, so you will need to buy a new charger. I hope this helps.

That happened to me once. I think perhaps the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger. I can't speak with certainty to your case, but could that be a possibility? I would try charging it again on the charger and see if it works. if not, contact the seller. I love my charger, and only had a problem the one time. The USB port on my phone has since ceased to work, so I am really glad that I got the charge - it is now a necessity! It has worked perfectly except one time, and I think that the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger then.

Could be a lot of things. Most likely, if you have the original charger, it can not be working properly as well. Replace it with one that has a good rating.

All chargers since way back, work with all iPods. and this is basically identical to those chargers. Works with some older Nano's I have.

I just bought 30 gb video ipod. I get about 6 hours playing music and maybe 2 hours with video.I was told thats normal. I use it work and all the usb port are disabled here. After reading these posts, looks like instead of buying a AC charger I should just replace it with another one. Still with in return policey time.

thanks for the reply. I read somewhere that some chargers may break the ipod's batteries, so I wanted to be sure.

Mine won't charge anymore either. I think the product may be defective. How are you charging your device?

My charger doesn't work at all. The port to insert the plug is broken. It was that way when I received it in the mail.

It does charge the iPod...but it eventually stopped playing my iPod from the dock after a couple months. Various sites suggest fixes for the error message (device not recognized) that began to pop up, and they worked at first. Finally nothing worked. I believe it is an issue with Apple's not "playing nice" with others--not sure. Regardless, it was nice while it lasted but ultimately a pricey mistake. I would not buy this unit again to work with an Apple product until there is a way to know that all compatibility issues have been resolved. Altec's own web site acknowledges the problem.

That is my question as well. The charger keeps stalling, and I have to plug it in over and over again, but it only works for a few minutes (or less). Sorry to add this as an "answer" since it doesn't help.

It's the charger itself. I had the same problem and can't get another charger. Went to radio shack and they have me the same look a like charger and it did not work. So I went and bought an LED Stanley. It's better and smaller. Hope that helps

Hi John,Sorry for the bad news but when apple changed their charging system from Firewire technology to USB it rendered all the newer models useless for charging. I had to resort to using the Ipod charger and then putting back on the dock. You're likely getting a "Charging not supported on this device" type of notice. My older one worked till it's final day but it was the old style. The only solution is a new dock system or find a cheap old one on Ebay. Best of luck,Cheers--Sam

battery is gone on my 5gen classic ipod and only works when plugged in to its old charger. Does not run with new classic charger. Will this drive it?

Are you using the onstage micro portable? If so it should charge it, mine does and it works for others as well. Just make sure the ipod is shoved all the way into the port (you may even want to remove the plastic seat thing to test it). I found if the ipod wasn't pushed all the way down it would still play, but not charge sometimes - must be part of the connection or something. if it doesn't work after trying that, I'd go back to the apple store or send it back to amazon, might be a quality issue. good luck,ac

I had same problem...it's either an internal battery or charger issue and it's not fixable...just return it. The new one I got (same model) works though.
