I bought an IPOD at a yardsale with a car charger. I had the cord for my computer from an old IPOD that died, but it wont charge it, itll only upload songs and it drains the battery in minutes. Im lucky to get 200 songs on at once, otherwise itll die and none of the songs will show up. Apple, the theives, want 30 freaking dollars for phone support, so they are no use! How can I get my IPOD to charge from my computer??Well wolves, yours is the first half competant answer ive gotten. Why would I be able to upload songs if the cord didnt work? and yes the car charger works.Oh, and skistar, I hope you die a horrible and painful death you retard.

You can't charge an MP3 player (a.k.a iPod) through a USB Cable. USB sends only information, not power. nothing can be charged through a USB, sorry.

Ignore what skistar42 said, I charge mine on the USB port all the time. They guy obviously doesn't own an IPod. Anyways, does the car charger work? If so then you may need a new USB cable. If the car charger doesn't work also, then you need a new battery. If none of that seems to work, you may just have to break down and call support.
