Your iPod fails to charge and might be due to one of the following reasons...

A sleeping computer: If your computer is sleeping, your iPod will not charge unless you wake up your computer. This basically means your computer must be fully turned on.

Wrong cable: Make sure your iPod is connected to your computer via a USB 2.0 cable.

Frozen iPod: If your iPod isn't responding to key presses or it won't switch off, it's most like that it has suffered a crash. This happens if you improperly eject your iPod from your computer.

This causes your iPod to freeze and the 'Do not disconnect' screen will remain. Always disconnect your iPod properly by clicking the 'Eject' icon in iTunes and wait for your iPod’s main menu to reappear.

To resolve this, you will need to reset your iPod. To do this slide the 'Hold' button on and then off. Press and hold the 'Menu' and 'Select' (centre button) at the same time for about 6-10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

Your iPod will then re-boot, just as if it was being switched on for the first time. The menu screen will reappear and your iPod will be useable again with all its files intact.

Faulty cable: If the cable that connects your iPod to a power source or your computer is broken and your iPod fails to charge... try a different power cable if the cable is broken.

Faulty computer port: If the USB 2.0 port on your computer does not function properly, try charging your iPod from the Apple iPod Power adapter.

Faulty power adapter: Apple iPod Power adapter might be faulty so try charging your iPod from your computer if your iPod fails to charge.

Dead battery: When your iPod's battery gives up its ghost, you definitely need a new one. For more information, visit RapidRepair.com

Broken iPod : When your iPod breaks none of the above solutions will work, it might need to be replaced. For more information, visit http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod

Testimonials...
OMG!!!!!! This website helped me so much! I just got my first iPod yesterday and this helped alot.
SallyAnne, USA

You are a genius, I thought I had downloaded iTunes 7... I didn't have to reset, everything came up as was on it when it crashed. I cannot thank you enough for not giving up, this one had sentimental value that you cannot believe and they do not make the black nanos anymore. I tried everything on the internet, and you are the only one that replied and kept at it until you solved the problem.
Thank you.
Buddy Kniffen, Midland, Texas

Wow Daniel! What a fantastic service. I really didn't expect such a prompt response, if at all. And thanks for your advice. I certainly will be downloading from the sites you have listed. We are bathing in summer heat here, whilst I guess you are sheltering from the approaching winter. As a student it is not unusual to work through the night and I must say, how fantastic it is to have music all night. And such excellent quality sound too. So thrilled to have iPod up and running!
Thanks again.
Ciao
Elizabeth, Palmerston, North New Zealand
