My iPod touch won't charge anymore, I've been using a Samsung wall adapted with my apple charger cord and until I updated my iPod to IOS 9 it worked. I checked to see if it was the adaptor and I found that it'll charge with an Apple adaptor.

I Have an iPod touch 5 and up until the IOS 9.3 update my iPod charged with a Samsung adaptor just fine. I have an apple cord but I use a Samsung adaptor, i have changed to another Samsung adaptor and it still won't charge however if I plug my iPod into an apple adaptor it will charge. Does anyone know what is happening and if I can still use a Samsung adaptor and do I have to use an Apple Store boughten adaptor or can I use a no-name wall adaptor?

iPod touch, iOS 9.3

Is the Samsung USB Power Adapter an Apple-certified adapter? If it isn't, then you need to get an Apple or an Apple-certified Power adaptor. Do not get a "no-name" adapter - it will not work. Apple has put safety measures into all iOS devcies since iOS 7 that requires you to us an Apple or Apple-certified Power adapter:

Charge your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Best of luck,

Sure seems like the Samsun adopter died. Does the Samsung charger work with another device?

Any wall charger with a USB port will work. No reason for an Apple charger. However, that does not able to the Lightning cable. Some non-Apple cables do not work
