2 month old ipad suddenly not charging

Hi there, hoping someone can help. Our 2 month old ipad is suddenly not charging, all that appears is a battery with a red bolt on it and nothing more. Any ideas on what might be happening?

Hello there, AimeeORourke.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some instruction to follow to troubleshoot your particular issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Specifically, you might try the following:
iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the phone with an iPhone USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the issue persists, try resetting the iPhone while connected to the iPhone charger.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How are you trying to charge it, via a computer's USB port or its wall charger ? A lot of computers don't provide enought power to their USB ports to charge an iPad at a sufficient rate.
If you are using the wall charger then have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it still doesn't charge then have you tried a different charger and/or cable ? Do you know anybody else with an iPad so that you can try their charger and cable and they can try yours ?
The lock symbol mean that you've rotation lock on : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Why is my 8 month old Ipod Nano not charging/synching?

My Ipod Nano is no longer charging with the USB cable in either my laptop or my apple charger. It started to sporadically charge/synch and is now not doing it at all. Everything else works with USB drive on the laptop and I have no problems charging my Ipad on the apple charger so the issue must be with the Ipod itself. I use my ipod every day for running. Is there anything I can do or am I going to have to trash an 8 month old Ipad? I've tried resetting the Ipad and that makes no difference.

Check the dock connector on the Nano and clean any dirt/debris/dust bunnies you might find. Clean it with a soft brush. While you are doing this get a magnifying glass and look at the pins. If you see rust/corrosion then sweat has damaged the connector.

Normal battery life for two-year-old iPad?

My first iPad is nearly out of warranty. According to the Apple store 'Genius' app (the little hand held device they seem to look at a great deal), my battery is "normal".
They couldn't define in real-world terms what "normal" was. Does anyone know - is it five hours - eight hours (which would be close to the 80% rule listed here: http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html)
Since I don't have the devices they use to measure "normal", what would you folks suggest as an argument starting-off point?
Here's what I did: pulled up CineXPlayer and looped a 60 minute TV show. I left wi-fi ON, set brightness to auto, and turned the volume down to almost zero, since I wanted to sleep.
With this test, I will get nine hours before the iPad shuts down.
Would I get less if the volume was at say 75%?
Would I get more if the Wi-Fi was turned off?
How many hours at what concoction should be used as a standard for "normal"?
As much as I don't mind paying $99 sometime in the future for a fresh unit, if the battery is out of warrantied specs now, while my warranty is still active...well, that's the kind of Apple-care I would hope for.
PS - I HAVE updated to 5.1.1 and the latest firmware, restored the iPad to factory, then restored from my backup.
Cheers

During the warrranty coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $99, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax.
The specs for the iPad 2 state that you can expect
Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
Up to 9 hours of surfing the web using cellular data network
The fine print on http://www.apple.com/ipad/ipad-2/specs.html says:
Testing conducted by Apple in February 2012 using preproduction iPad units and software. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while performing each of the following tasks: video playback, audio playback, and Internet browsing using Wi-Fi or cellular data network. Video content was a repeated 2-hour 23-minute movie purchased from the iTunes Store. Audio content was a playlist of 358 unique songs, consisting of a combination of songs imported from CDs using iTunes (128-Kbps AAC encoding) and songs purchased from the iTunes Store (256-Kbps AAC encoding). Internet over Wi-Fi and cellular data network tests were conducted using dedicated web and mail servers, browsing snapshot versions of 20 popular web pages, and receiving mail once an hour. All settings were default except: Wi-Fi was associated with a network (except for Internet browsing over cellular data network); the Wi-Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off. Battery life depends on device settings, usage, and many other factors. Battery tests are conducted using specific iPad units; actual results may vary.

Two months old & It won't start anymore-HELP!

I will try to not vent as much as possible. As soon as I followed the most recent software update prompt, my computer WILL NOT START. At all. Just the terror-inducing flashing file folder icon with the big question mark in it. Anyone else victim? Any successful defeat strategies?
Tech support has not helped me, though I am within the 90 days and have called three times. Every possible iota of information furnished by these bruised-fruit peddlers has been followed, but to no avail.
There is absolutely NO way that I could in good conscience recommend that anyone buy the MacBook. At least not the black one with a whole lot of memory. A completely heinous experience since taking it out of the box-this is only the most egregious episode in the past two weeks.
Booooo, Apple! Boooo, Steve! A pox be upon Apple.

What has Apple had you try so far? Sounds like you have a serious hard drive issue, in which case, Apple could just send you a new one.

HT1476 my iPhone is only 3 months old and will not charge unless it is turned off and when i try to hook it up to iTunes it says it is an "unrecognizable device" and it will not work!! I have tried the hard reset a hunderd times and that dosen't work eith

please help me!

Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. Try different good USB Cable. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty, make Genius appointment and take iPhone to Apple for resolution of problem.

I have an iTunes account. My iTunes on my computer shows about 100 songs. However, when I click on about 1/3 of the songs, they will play for about 15 seconds and quit. Anyone know what is going on?

I have an iTunes account along with an older iPod and a new iPhone. My iTunes account shows about 50 songs on it. When I try to play about half of the songs, they play for 15 seconds and then it quits and goes on to the next song. Anybody have any ideas?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

To repeat my question, Apple offered to install iCloud, and I allowed it. Yet when I try to sign in to iCloud using my Apple ID email and pswrd--an ID that I've been using for YEARS--I'm given the message, "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." What is going on?
Everywhere I search on Apple's Support site says to sign in to iCloud using your "Apple ID," which I did. I've had my iTunes account for years (even migrated from the old AOL account system). It's the standard email+password that everyone is supposed to use.
My main question is how can I have a valid Apple ID and not an iCloud account--if the two are supposed to be linked?
Thank you for any help you can give me!
tlj

I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
Thank you for any help you can give.

Ipad will not charge correctly, or at all.

I
I got an ipad 4 a while back, and usually it charges to 100 in 5 and a half hours and uses 80% of that charge in 6 hours. Just last night, i had it plugged in and it began to charge as it usually does. As I was using it, I noticed that the power had only gone up by 1% in the last hour. I knew that this was not right. I kept using it just to find that it was going up by 1 % every hour. I then, put it into a different outlet, and it continued to go up at the same rate. I then called my friend and asked him to swap chargers with me so that i could test it. His charger did not work with my ipad but my charger worked with his. I am using the charger cable that I was given with the ipad. Then, i went to bed to find that when i woke up 11 hours later, it was at 79% and still charging. I continued to let it charge until at 81 % it just stopped for no reason.
It just stopped charging.
I tried every cable around the house to no avail. I got a software update, I got a new charger just in case, I reset all settings, i reset all content and settings, and it still does not work.
it does'nt even show the "Not charging" display anywhere on the screen. I do not even think that it recognizes that it is connected to the charger. Somtimes, it will start to charge at the same slow rate, then after 5 min, it will completly stop charging again.
I am not smart enough to know what is going on, but I was hoping that one of you readers would have a clue.
Thank you! <:

HT1349 My ipod touch 4th gen, will not let me access facebook or you tube it just takes ages to load then fails. I have reset the ipod but its still doing the same. Its only two months old, does anyone know how to fix it?

My sons ipod touch has stopped letting him access facebook or you tube. On entering the app or going in via safari it just states loading for ages then fails, I have reset it for him, but it hasn't helped. Is this a common problem? It is only 2 months old.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT201401 my iPhone 5 randomly switched itself when somebody was calling me and now won't turn on. it had 90% battery, I've tried factory reset, connecting to iTunes and nothing works. the phone is approx 18 months old so surprise surprise out of warranty.

My 5S just started doing this on Thursday: every fraction of a second or so it oscillates between connecting and disconnecting with the charger (USB or wall, doesn't matter). Since it's still under the limited warrantee, I took it to the local Mac dealer (I live in a small town w/out an Apple store) and they shipped it off. I'm waiting now for the replacement--telephonless, too!
What concerns me is that many people seem to be having this issue.
You were right to be suspicious of the Apple store employees. Once they replicated the behavior that you experienced, they should have immediatly offered to exchange your phone. Anything else, in my opinion, is unacceptable. As long as your phone is still doing it, I'd go back, ask for the manager and tell them to exchange your phone.

My two month old iphone lightning cable is corroded and not working. Any solutions to this apparently common problem on the horizon?

You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it.

What will happen to the battery if i let my Ipod touch 4th Gen charging for 8 hours?I'm editing and fixing my ITunes in my P.C,and It's two days old.Thank you.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If under warranty, as you say (the warranty is transferable) and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

HT1766 Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

Why does my pc say that there is no drivers for my new Ipad Air. I did a backup this night from the two week old Ipad Air that I smashed the front?

Drivers are iOS specific....meaning if your old one had iOS 7.0.6 and your new one 7.1 then it needs different drivers.
Is your iTunes up do date? if not, then updating it may help.
You can also try using a different usb cord and port to see if that triggers the driver download.
or, if that doesn't work, try going into your control panel, add/remove programs. Look for 'apple mobile device service' and uninstall that. THen plug your iPad in and it should reinstall.
If that doesn't work, go back into the control panel but uninstall iTunes, and apple mobile device service and apple application support, then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if that gets your drivers fixed.
Another way to do that is go right click on 'my computer' 'properties' and go to 'device manager'
plug your iPad in and do you see it show up in the list? YOu may need to click some of those little plus signs to open up the lists. If you see your iPad, right click on the name and you should see an option to update the driver.
