There are two ways you can charge your iPod battery:
- Plug your iPod into your computer's USB port. Make sure your computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
- If you have an Apple USB Power Adapter, you can connect your iPod to the power adapter with the USB cable or dock and then plug it into a power outlet.
