I've used up several gift cards playing games on my iPad. Now I want to put back in my main credit card that I use playing games and it won't take it. Says there are too many cards associated with this apple ID. I have no idea what to do now -- anybody?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

I just plugged my iPhone into my MacBook and all my notes were deleted. I desperately need them, where are they?? Thanks

If your MB isn't the computer you usually sync with, the notes were deleted and not retrievable. Do you backup with iCloud?

HT3964 I've tried to reset my SMC and battery still won't take charge.

My battery won't charge. The led light wont even turn on. I tried the steps to reset the SMC and nothing worked.

It's time to make the dreaded trip to the Apple Store or the Authorized Service Provider, with the wallet trembling at the big bite they will take. At best, a new battery solves the problem. Won't worry you more by going into the "at worst" section...

IPod Touch (5th Gen) Battery Won't Hold Charge

After the last update my iPod Touch 5th Gen will not hold a charge. I haven't had any problems with it until this 8.1.1 update. Yesterday I charged the battery up to full charge and used it briefly to listen to music in my car however here it is the next day and the battery is dead again. It is NOT playing while not in my car. Meaning nothing should be running the battery down because it's not being used. I know it's not playing because the volume is set to half way so I'd undoubtedly hear it if it was playing. It just won't hold a charge and for no apparent reason. Any suggestions?

New battery won't hold charge after short usage

Hello everyone
I recently purchased a used HP nc6230 computer without a hard drive or battery. After putting a new battery and a hard drive into it I charged the battery installed the OS, windows XP pro, and used the system a few days and it worked fine. I followed the guidelines of the battery manufacturer to burn in or sync the battery pack without incident. Now a week later I turned the system on and it loaded windows, stayed on for about 2 minutes and then shut off. I hooked the charger to the system to charge the battery and the indicator light did not come on to show the battery was charging. I left it connected for about 20 minutes and tried to turn it on again with no success. Could this just be a defective battery or is there a problem withe this particular model computer? Any ideas? Thanks.

You just have an older battery that has limited runtime. Losing 32% in 30 minutes indicates you might get maybe 1:20 runtime which is about normal for a 2 or 3 year old battery. I suspect what happened before is that the battery completely discharged which is not really good for it and sometimes causes the whole system to lock up. If it ever happens again, remove the battery and do the hard reset before plugging in the AC adapter. I suspect you just need a new battery. Where did you get this battery? It may be "new" in the sense that it was never previously installed in a laptop but batteries for that laptop might be as much as 4-5 years old and they do lose power and capability just sitting on a shelf.

New Macbook battery won't hold charge?

I recently bought a new OEM battery from an online reseller for my Core Duo (August 2006) white MacBook. I had it for a few weeks and it worked perfectly (3+ hours of battery life, as opposed to the 7 minutes I had been getting with the original battery, don't perma-charge!), and then it just stopped. If I unplug the AC adapter, it turns off after about a second, and if I start the computer without the adapter, it turns off after about two seconds.
I've tried resetting the SMC and reinstalling the firmware, and the computer still runs off of the old battery (albeit not for very long). I'm having the same problem in my BootCamp install of Windows 7 as well.

It seems like other people are having the same problem? Admittedly, it could just be a coincidence and I got a bad battery, but I thought I'd pop in to see before I RMA it.

I don't think the battery is your problem. Here's things to check:
Try using another MagSafe adapter and see if that helps.
Make sure the connectors between the MagSafe adapter & the computer is clean, as well as the connectors between the battery and the computer.
Sounds to me like you have a problem inside the computer and that's why it won't run on battery power.

Battery won't stayed charged after latest update on iphone 4

I cannot get the battery on my iphone 4 to stayed charged. I charged it to 100% before going to bed by morning it was down to 35%. I had turned off automatic push services, made sure there were no open icons. I had spoken with an Apple rep that morning so he instructed me on what I should do. I've had the iphone 4 since January with no problems at all until I downloaded the latest update ....that's when all my problems with the battery began & my facetime freezes so bad I'm unable to use it & it worked great before the battery problems started.... the battery has lost all charge and I have recharged to 100 % several times and still will not hold charge......any information would be greatly appreciated...I'm so frustrated!!!

Please define "not working".

Battery won't hold charge

I have a click wheel Ipod. I cannot get the battery to hold a charge.

If it charges, but does not hold the charge when disconnected, the lithium battery is probably worn out.

OSX Upgrade and new software purchases slow down Mac and Battery won't hold charge?

Any assistance appreciated:
I have recently upgraded my OSX from Snow Leopard, which I was quite happy with, and was ticking over very nicely.
And, today, I have problems???
I was using Snow Leopard, I purchased Mainstage 2 for my musical work... Nice piece of Kit..
I then notice 'Apple', bring out Mainstage 3 about 10 days later???
I check out the spec, will not run on my OSX...
I then check out Mainstage 3 and find that it would be a better version than 2..
I then decide that the extra stuff in Mainstage 3 is worth the price of an OSX upgrade, and the newer Mainstage 3 version although I had recently purchased Ver 2..
I do the upgrade, seems to have worked fine...
I purchase Mainstage 3, get that installed, and the Xtra's.... What is that all about?
It took me well over 12 hrs to get those...
Any road up, I get everything installed and functioning....
Now, my Mac is Slllooooow..
The Battery will not hold it's charge... Runs for only 2 hours MAX and then needs recharging???
The MacBook was bought only 18 month ago??? 2011 edition..
I have an IBM ThinkPad 240 and it still holds more charge than my Mac....
Help appreciated Folks...
For the dosh I have paid to 'Apple', the product and software should operate and function better than this???
And to honest, I aint spending anymore, until 'Apple' give me some answers on my problems.

IPad battery won't hold charge

My iPad is only 6 months old and recently stopped holding a charge. I've followed all the help topics and pointers but nothing works. The iPad goes from 80-90% down to 2% overnight while its turned off. Does this mean I need to send it back to Apple?

Hi Fred,
Thanks for the suggestion. I will keep that in mind - I actually saw another response on this forum after I posted my question that may solve my problem. It was a suggestion to go in and turn off all of my applications, which I had no idea were actively running even when the iPad is turned off.
The user said they had gone into the Apple store and an employee told them about how the newest release of the OS was doing this and that by double clicking on the iPad when coming out of sleep mode will bring up all the applications at the bottom of the screen. Then by touching and holding one application, they will begin to shake and also shows a + and - sign if they are active. I clicked the - sign on all my applications except Settings and recharged the iPad again. So far today it has not run down at all each time I check it. It made sense to me since the only thing that changed on my usage is how many downloaded programs I have added to it. All of them were actively running.
I only wish Apple would supply this information at the time they provide the updates to the OS.
I wouldn't rely on that. The drain that you're describing is significant. Further, the app listing at the bottom is a "Recents Tray." It lists all of the apps that have been used recently but they are not necessarily running and, in fact, are probably not running.
I have two easy suggestions, one or both of which you may have already done. Then, if you're still having difficulties, I'd go to Apple. A hardware failure is not unreasonable.
1. Charge the iPad overnight using the charger that came with the iPad. Do not use an iPhone charger or an iPod charger and do not use a computer USB port. Then, operate the iPad until it shuts down automatically. Ignore any low battery warnings that may appear. This doesn't do anything for the battery but it ensures that the battery meter is giving correct indications.
2. I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills. It's easy, quick and harmless: Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.

Macbook won't take charge from the charger it came with. But WILL take a charge from older generation chargers.

My Macbook will only charge from an older model charger. The charger that came with the laptop, after the computer overheated dramatically, is suddenly not working. The weird thing is, the Apple store tried several chargers out just now, including a brand new one, and what we discovered is that the older model chargers work fine, but the newer model chargers (which used to work perfectly) are indeed recognized by the Macbook (there is a little plug/'charging' symbol in the top right) but there is also a message next to the symbol, in parenthesis, stating that the Macbook is "Not Charging". Any idea what this could mean? The Apple store said the computer passed all of their rigorous tests... but obviously something is wrong... so they gave me two options: they could either replace the Magsafe unit ($50), or they could send the computer to the "Depot" to have any parts that are malfunctioning changed at one flat fee ($280). What do I do? Because I don't want to pay $280 for a new Magsafe unit when I can get it for $50. But if this is a logic board problem, then obviously I should send it in to the Depot-- but what if they run more tests and decide the logic board is fine? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

my ginger,
I did the shift-control-option + power SMU reset. (My Macbook has an internal battery so I couldn't remove it.) Nothing changed as a result of that though.
I checked to see if the battery and adapter are being recognized. This is what it said (cut-and-pasted below). Let me know what you think.
I wonder if the wattage difference in the adapters is what is making the difference... And if so, what that might mean in terms of damage done. Hmmm.
Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.

Satellite S55-A5255 Battery won't hold charge

Like the title says this S55-A5255 won't hold a charge. From what I've been reading and stuff that this battery isn't "user replaceable". Which can be done. The trouble I'm having is trying to find a battery for this laptop. I can't find it no where! All major retailers and computer techs tells me that they have no idea where I can purchase this battery. Toshiba sells the laptop but tells me they no longer replace the battery if it comes in to be repaired. Plus since this laptop is out of warranty I don't want to spend several hundred dollars to get one battery. Does anyone know the manufacturer that sells these batteries or know anyone that sells it?

Driod 4 keeps rebooting itself and battery won't stay charged

What do I do about my droid 4 constantly rebooting itself after the verizon wireless update that was pushed out March 23 or so?
1st my phone was frozen after the update and I had to request a replacement phone.
2nd the replacement phone randomly just reboots, whether I am using it or not.
The battery barley stays charged even when it's on the charger. I have all the data syncs off
I can't update my apps because the phone says it does not have network access., but I can make call and send text messages.
very upset about this, verizon should have tested the update further before pushing it out. there was nothing wrong with my original phone, now I h ave a large paper weight that has to stay hooked to the charger.

Hi alval!
I am sorry to learn of the rebooting issues with your phone after the latest software update. Let's get your phone our the paper weight mode and back into the awesome wireless device that it is! I had similar issues with my phone after the latest software update and I resolved all issues by doing a factory reset http://vz.to/TZvgLF as this clears any third party applications conflicts and any potential system errors created while processing update. Make sure to back up all your important media before doing factory reset as this process deletes all media and bring phone back to original state. Keep us posted.
