    You say "ipod nano" in the subject line, but this is the forum category for the iPod shuffle (and you later say "ipod shuffle" in the post).  Is your iPod a shuffle or a nano?

     

    Even if iTunes is not installed, an iPod should charge when connected to an active USB port that is supplying sufficient power.  What indicates to your that the iPod is not charging?

    You could also try hooking to a different USB port - the one you are using may not have enough power output to charge the device.  Or use a powered hub.
