How long have you had your iPod nano? It could be that charging jack the connector on the nano or the battery. When plugged in to a power source do you see the charging indicator in the upper right corner of the screen? If it's there and showing the lightning bolt charging or if you have noticed a decrease in the battery life or it's most likely the battery.


If this is a sudden problem it's the jack or connector. All you can do is attempt to charge it with another method. You really need to get a separate charging cord and plug and test it on your nano. If takes a charge your going to have to replace your cord. If not it's likely that the connector on the nano has been damaged. There are places you can send it for repair.
Hope this helps.

my apple ipod is not charging what should i do plz help me [nano 3rd genaration]

the ipod of the 4th generation does only charge in USB mode and the Harman & kardon speaker only supports I link charge mode(fire wire 1394) so i bought an awsome sounding machine wich does not charge my ipod nano.
however i must say that i have a solution, when you put the USB cable in the back of the H&K, you can charge the nano with a charging device of an ipod.

Unfortunately, the iPod nano only ships with a USB 2.0 cable, which alienates many Mac users who only have USB 1.1 and Firewire ports. Although Apple offers no official support, you can both charge and sync your iPod nano, albeit slowly, using USB 1.1. Or, you can charge your iPod nano, but not sync, using Firewire.
