Why do i have to keep on buying a charger.

i have a iphone 5 and i have bought 3 chargers already. it doesnt charge and when i put it through the computer, it says " not compatible" or "not supportive"
yes, they are all iphone chargers too and they arent cheap!! am i going to have to buy one every 6months????

Do you mean the wall adapter or the cable? Are you buying genuine Apple cables, or low quality knockoffs?
If they are Apple cables it may mean the connector on your phone is dirty. Inspect it carefully, and clean it with an air blast can or a wooden or plastic toothpick.
Also, not sure why you would have to buy Apple cables. If one fails under warranty the replacement is free.

  • Why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac

    why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac?

    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

  • Why do I have to keep activating hbogo on apple tv?

    Why do I have to keep activating hbogo on apple tv?
    It's constant.  Maybe three to four times a week.
    ENOUGH already.

    haha nevermind HBOgo. Since we know you are able to activate it then we know the verizon username and password is correct and that HBO recognizes it as legit. Why it keeps asking for it might be a glitch with HBOgo app or their server or it might have to do with the apple TV not saving your login info, so HBO keeps asking for it each time you go there. Kind of hard to nail down since it involves an Apple product, HBO, and Fios TV all working together. Not sure who is to blame at this point. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem with Apple TV's. Are you able to access HBO from your verizon set top box?

  • Why do I have to keep resetting home sharing to work

    Why do I have to keep turning off home sharing and then turning it back on to watch movies from my mac mini to my tv via apple tv? I just bought apple tv brand new from the apple store yesterday. My mac mini also has the latest update.

    Hello jdebie,
    Congratulations on your new Apple TV!  I would be concerned too if I had to turn Home Sharing off and then back every time I wanted to use it.  I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
    I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

  • Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally

    Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally.

    Does your system meet these Mountain Lion System Requirements?:
    General Requirements
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Supported
    Models
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    And as user macsonrisanoted above, 4 GB of RAM is the practical minimum amount of RAM that Mountain Lion really needs since the OS itself uses at least that much often by itself.

  • Why do I have to keep restarting iPad 2 to get emails to download when I am successfully connected to three blips of at home wifi ???

    Why do I have to keep restarting my ipad2 to download my emails even though it is connected to my home wifi perfectly, Internet is working, but the circle just spins constantly and won't update ??? It is very frustrating !!!

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • HT5622 why do i have to keep changing my password?

    why do i have to keep resetting my password and my credit card info is gone

    Apple will never require you to change your password. However, if you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on the phone your IT administrator can require you to change your password.
    Since you say your credit card information is gone also, it is likely that someone has hacked your account.

  • Why do I have to keep installing adobe flash 11 player in my computer?

    I have installed adobe flash player 11 various versions many times in my Windows 7 64-bit computer. It seems like once a week I'm having to do this. Why do you have to install the same version so many times?

    I have been having the exact same problem since buying my new HP Powerbook laptop. Windows 7 64bit running IE9. The strange thing is it is rather sporadic I can watch numerous youtube vids fine, and then all of a sudden, I start getting the error where the Exclamaition Mark shows up and then other times when there is a notice that HTML5 or Flash is not installed. I then reinstall Flash, and vids work againg until the next time this happens. The problem also sometimes appear to clear up after rebooting. Why does this keep happening?
