Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Good luck and let us know!

    Your battery has reached the end of its life. If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.

  • Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

    Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

    Just to be clear. You have downloaded the Yosemite installer. However you say while it's updating you get the error you are not online. This is confusing since you shouldn't be able to use your computer in the process of updating.
    Exactly where do you see you need to 10.9 to get on Safari?

  • I was writing a very important document; I saved it and I closed pages, now when I try to open it, I have a message with "it's impossible to open this document". How can i fix it?

    When you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac:
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Why are red dots next to my music? How can I fix this so my music will play?

    Why are red dots within red dots next to some songs on my phone? How can I fix this so that the music plays and the dots don't just turn grey when I press them? All the music is from CDs not the music purchased from iTunes. Thank you.

    The red circles with squares inside them often mean that the sync with your iTunes went bad.
    Try re-syncing your device. Can you play these tracks in iTunes?
    If a re sync does not work then you may need to rebuild your iTunes Library.

    never done this myself have always been lucky with the resync.

  • I have photos with the same numer but they are different photos how can I fix that?

    I have photos with same names but they are different photos. Can I rename these photos ? How can I do this?

    you can save a file with the same name by dragging and dropping from iphoto to a Finder folder
    but (and there are always buts) you can only do up to 4 photos at a time
    any more and you are not given the option
    This is the error message you get:
    An item named “IMG_8770.JPG” already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you’re moving?
    4 or lesss  your options are:
    Keep Both       Stop       Replace
    5 or more your options change
    Skip     Stop    Replace
    it will add a space and a 2 to the name
    IMG_8816.JPG  turns to IMG_8816 2.JPG
    this is the solution I was looking for; let the computer do the name change
    Cheers!

  • My screen has a battery with a red line through it...

    The screen will not change from this image. the battery is fully charged and it works on other blackberry's. My service provider said they can't cover me cause i didn't buy it from them directly. where could I go to get this fixed or am I basically screwed?

    Have you checked by changing theme? Is the line above your battery or the across the whole screen?

  • I recently updated my itunes to 11.3.1, and now when I connect apple devices to my Windows computer with a USB, they are not showing up. How can I fix this?

    This problem makes it impossible for me to sync any apple device to my itunes library. I have tried reinstalling itunes, but it still doesn't work. My computer recognises the devices, but itunes doesn't.
    Suggestions?

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • My Firefox has started opening downloaded PDF files in a creen with no option to save or print them. How can I fix this?

    I get my bills etc electronically. I then download them and save them to a file on my computer. Firefox is now opening them in a window that has only the PDF and an address bar, the "File Edit View, etc" at the top of the screen is missing and I can't figure out how to save these files.

    Hi rjwwalker3-
    It is possible to adjust your preferences for files, and what Firefox does with them. Here is an article on how to adjust your preferences when dealing with files:

    Hope that helps!

  • I am not able to access website if i type them into the address bar or try to access them through the history list. How can I fix this?

    The only way I can access webpages is if I search for them with search bar.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    From this Apple support document: iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the headingBlocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

  • App Store claims update for app I never purchased and then switches me to a russian account. When I try to buy with my account i get an unknown error. How can I fix this?

    When I opened the Mac App Store on my White MacBook(2010 model running Lion), it told me I had an update for Angry Birds. I never bought the original Angry Birds for Mac, so I decided I'd buy it because I enjoyed it on the iPad. When I clicked buy, it had my email switched to a russian one and when I tried to buy the app on my account, I got an unknown error (4). I can buy other items on my account, but when I try Angry Birds it always returns the error. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
    edit: Sorry! Found the answer on a related discussion.

    i have this too -- it's from trying to install pirated sw. I have no idea how to fix it -- even trying to buy a legot copy gives an error in the app store.
