Try re-starting the iPod I just got mine today and It worked fine. But I had the same problem. Try and re-start it or see if anything went wrong witht he lighting conecter. Maybe one of the prongs is missing?

thats for the tips, i restarted it and reset all of the setting and that didn't work. I'm hoping its just the cord...
Other uses have reported that their 5G iPod came with a defective Lightning cable.

In which case they should make an appointment at an Apple Store and demonstrate this.
I am having the same problem. My ipod is completely dead and when I plug in the charge the screen on the ipod pops up that says I need to connect to a charger.
MY IPOD 5TH GEN WONT CHARGE!
Ok, so i brought my ipod touch 5th generation around christmas time. It has been working perfectly fine, however my ipod touch died three days ago and wouldn't charge;this was because my cable had broken. Today, I purchased a new charger and left it on charge for more than half an hour, I then returned and my ipod only displayed a red empty battery and a charger sign pointing at a lightning bolt. There is obviously something wrong with my ipod and deffinatly not my charger. I also tried charging it on my laptop but nothing happened, even itunes didn't pop up.
Do I need a new battery or something? Can anyone help?😢
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
It's completly dead! I don't know what to do! The charger is brand new and looks fine..😕
