    Should be straight forward

    On my laptop though one of the USBs doesn't charge it and the others do. Prob a technical issue with that port.

    Try charging it from a different computer to see if that makes a difference

    Cheers, that was my first thought

    tried a different usb port still same, even tried it on my dads pc and still didn't charge

    Does it do it straight away? or do you leave it a few minutes?

    Will i have to buy a new adaptor if i can't get it to charge or will my adaptor from 2003 work?? i.e is it same end?

    If it's a work laptop

    they might have disabled your USB ports, so that you can't plug memory sticks in and stuff ...

    Is the battery completely empty?

    If it is, I think you have to leave it a while.

    Should be the same connection for a 2003 connector. No idea why its not working for you.

    Have you:

    Installed itunes and downloaded the latest firmware?

    If your ipod is straight out of the box and your laptop doesn't have itunes on it that will be the prob. Once its connected to itunes it'll start to do its stuff and then charge itself.

    If you have got itunes on, is it recognising your ipod when you connect via USB?
