My iPod will not charge at all when plugged it. It read: "battery can't charge with accessories" or something like that. Now it's not reading anything at all. How can I charge it?

Sounds like you need a new charger. They're usually around $20, and they should be available anywhere ipods are available.

The computer needs iPod USB drivers to charge the iPod. If the driver has in any way been damaged you will not be able to charge. I recommend updating to or downloading and installing the latest version of iTunes which contains the iPod drivers. After you install the update or download the full version you should restart your computer. When fully booted, plug the iPod in and it should be charging. If that does not work, the iPod it's self might need an Apple update. Plug in the iPod and fire up iTunes. Select your iPod from the list on the left. After selecting your device, look on the right side. It should tell you if your iPod software is up to date. If not it will offer foe you to update. Hope this helps at least a little :)

It might be different things, the cable doesn´t work, the usb port doesn´t work or the ipod plug hole doesn´t work. Try to connect it to a different usb port if that doesn´t work then change the cable if the problems stillls it has to be the ipod.
