8100 Pearl will ONLY charge with USB from Computer

Is anyone else having this problem? The wall charger or car charger doesn't work at all. It only charges when I connect to my computer, and even then it takes all night since the Blackberry gives a message saying 'insufficient current.'
I've tried several different wall-chargers but I don't get anything. What gives?

I have the same problem. I noticed a few days ago that my wall charger #1 was not working. So I used the car charger ok. Then I tried wall charger #2 and it didnt work either. I swapped the usb cable from the charger and that didnt work. I then used that usb cable and plugged it in to the laptop and now the BB is being charged. It also charges with the car charger.
If anyone has a solution please help!

My iPod touch 4th gen. Won't charge with a enercell charger that I've used since December. It will only charge with the apple USB cord that came with it. And even the takes it about 6 sec. To realize its charging. Help me fix this?

Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.

IPod will only charge using USB

hi, my ipod will not charge using a 110 or 12 volt charger, but will using USB - ideas? i restored and updated it.

If you are referring to the iPod Classic, it will only charge via the dock connector USB cable, either using a PC USB port or iPod wall charger. It also has a built-in safety circuit that will trip if the charging current goes above 1A at 5V.. So most 10W iPad charger will not work on the classic, unless it has a dual output port for lower current.
You can find these dual ports 10W iPad charger on eBay or Amazon.
Have a nice day!

Ipad will only charge with one charger, not recognize by pc or itunes

I have an Ipad 1. I bought a third party car charger to charge the ipad. I charged it with this charger one time. The next time I tried to charge the ipad with the original 10W wall outlet charger, it would not charge. I bought another apple ipad charger, thinking my original charger had quit working, it still would not charge. I plugged it back into the car charger and discovered that it will only charge on that particular charger. Now itunes nor my windows pc will recognize the ipad. I uninstalled itunes and installed the newest version. I also hard reset the ipad and now I have a worthless ipad that will not connect to itunes. Any suggestions?

It's possible that charger damaged some part of the connection on the iPad. There's little metal contacts on that small silicon chip sticking out of the port and if something happens to one of those little contacts it can effect how it works.
You can try taking it into an apple store and have them look at it. If you'd only used 'official' stuff there'd probably be no question but once they know that the damage, potential damage, was caused by a third party device, then it may be up to the discretion of the manager what they do with it. Whether they replace it under warranty or decide that the warranty is void (I honestly don't know how strict they can be with the use of third party devices and how they may/may not work)

Only charge with USB to PC

The phone does not charge when using the wall or the car charger. It charges with USB plug to a PC. This happened after OS4 upgrade. Does anyone have the same issue? Ken

Same here. Any solution?

3G iPhone will only charge by USB connection.

Hi All
First post so don't give me a hard time.
Kinda advanced user and MD of Technology company. We install iPorts in peoples homes (www.iportmusic.com).
Anyway, all iPod's, iPod Touch's, old iPhones charge from these but the new 3G does not. This is also the case with other docks and car charging kits. is it just my phone or has anyone else come across the same problem.
Any input would be appreciated.
all the best

Apple has been gradually removing Firewire support for iPods for some time and now with the iPhone. Originally iPods synced and charged via Firewire only. Apple switched to USB for syncing but continued to support charging via Firewire with iPods and the same applied to the first generation iPhone. Apple removed support for charging via Firewire with the iPhone 3G and the same will apply to future iPod models. The firewire pins were removed from the dock connector port.
You need to change your connection or iPorts to support charging via USB if you want it to be compatible with the iPhone 3G and with future iPhone and iPod models.

My 16 gb ipod touch will only charge with the ac adaptor

my ipod touch charges with my ac adaptor only, and no the usb charger. any ideas?

Agreed about trying a different USB port. But, if your iTunes is recognizing your iPod from a given USB port, I would expect it would also charge from the port.

Ipod wont charge on a wall socket-will only charge a little from USB.

Dear Apple,
I have a 160gb ipod model which i bought 3 months ago.
Recently my ipod has stopped charging from a wall socket completely.I ve been using the apple wall charger for a time so i know its not its fault.Further on i have tried another third company's usb wall charger and 2 different cables.Nothing seems to work.Afterwards i tried charging it on a PC and it worked the first time but after that i leave it charging for 2-4 hours and it only shows 1/2 of the battery getting charged which will go down to 1/3,1/4th as soon as i plug it off.I ve tried resetting it multiple times but to no avail. I know that there have been other cases such as mine and i have tried researching it in the forums but with no sure solution.Please advise as to how i should proceed.Thank you in advance

Well ok news flash.I went outside to an internet cafe and put it in normally in a usb and after 2 hours it charged fully and lasted fully for the battery time.This still doesnt explain though why when i used two different cables and two different wall chargers it wouldnt charge when it used to.(P.S.: I am in an army camp thus the reason i cant rely on a PC socket being available)Thanks in advance

Iphone will not charge via usb-to-computer nor via brick; I've tested with two different cables. Just before this problem arose, I got messages similar to "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone."

Most of my concern is in the subject line. I probably should've saved some content to include here. Allow me to elaborate:
While traveling with the tiny brick, I got a message on my 3GS phone that "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone”; however, the charger was working fine with another phone and with an iPad.
I tested alternatives by removing and re-inserting the cable (obviously, as I tested other devices), changing wall receptacles, shutting the phone off (all the way), all to no avail.
When I got home, I plugged a different cable--one that was connected to my iMac rather than the brick--into the my 3GS; it still didn't charge.
So, I'm hypothesizing that perhaps some debris (from a pocket?) got into the charging receptacle of the 3GS and is disrupting the connection. Perhaps there are other hypotheses.
I am reluctant to do a reset, as (a) the problem doesn't appear to be a software issue (the phone and software are all working, though the charge is declining) and (b) I don't want to lose the contents before I can sync it (now that I'm home, again).
I'd welcome suggestions. Meanwhile, I suppose I shall e-mail photos and notes from the phone to myself before I lose the remaining charge.

Try to clean the 30-pin receiver slot either by blowing air into it or using a microfiber cloth. If the problem persists, based on what you've already said, I'd say the problem is most likely hardware, and would need to be replaced or repaired. I hope your iPhone is still under the 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty, or if applicaable extended warranty. You can check by calling AppleCare National iPhone Technical Support at 1 (800) 694-7466.

Macbook pro shuts off as soon as charger is disconnected. Will only charge with older square tip charger and not the newer "L" magsafe charger it originally came with.

I have a 2011 macbook pro. I recently spilled some water on top of the macbook while it was off and charging (closed). Some water got to the charging port so I immediately disconnected the charger. Right away I brought it to ibreakufix and they looked through and told me there were no issues. I plugged it back into the charger to see if it would turn on and the "L" shaped magsafe charger it came with would not light up or charge the MB and it would not turn on. At the store, the person showed that it turned on using the older square tip charger. I went to apple thinking the charger was bad but that was not the case, tried a new charger (L) and still did not work. I came home and plugged in my older macbook charger (square tip) and it worked fine as it did at the shop but as soon as I unplug the charger, the MB shuts off. I took off the bottom and switched the battery with my other macbook thinking the battery might have shorted out but it still shut off. Battery display indicates that it is charging and in fact charged up to 100% but as soon as charger is disconnected it shuts off. Oddly when I plug in the newer "L" charger and disconnect the battery from the macbook, the charger lights up and powers on the MB. Any thoughts?

Hello Arhim22,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
In this situation, because of the liquid spill, it may be necessary to have your MacBook Pro evaluated for service. For more information on this process, please refer to the attached web link.

TS2771 My iPod touch will only charge through computer, new wall charger will not charge it, but charges other iPods

My sons iPod touch will only charge with computer. This has happened since update. Wall charger charges other iPods/iPhone. Restored to original defaults. And still does not work.

I believe it started with the update prior to 5.1.1. I just udated it to the 5.1.1, thinking it would resolve the problem.

Ipod not charging with usb, but will with firewire?

ipod will only charge at apple store using a firewire charger. What can I do? It seems not to charge are all using usb.

Why not just use Firewire? If Firewire works, use that. There is no need to send the iPod in for service if Firewire works and USB does not.
the reason I would send it in for service if the USB portion of the connector is not working is:
1) it could be a problem that will propegate to the firewire side of the connector
2) because the USB side should be working
3) if I am someplace with a machine that does not have a firewire port to plug into
if its covered under the warranty, then get it fixed so everything works
imho

IPod classic will only charge from my computer

I have an iPod Classic 80gb and it won't charge from my wall charger or my car charger it will only charge from my iMac and MacBook Pro what can I do to fix this.

If it charges from your computer, then there is nothing wrong with your iPod charging. The problem then goes to your charger.
just in case, try a 12w charger or use a different charger.
