Phone goes dead when it has just been charged

my husbands phone goes dead just shuts off when he has just charged it. says like 95 percent battery and 2 seconds later goes dead

User troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
Restart, is powering the phone off/on.
Reset is holding the sleep/wake and home buttons until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
Restores are done via iTunes.
If none of these correct the problem, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple or with the Authorized Apple Service Provider, depending on where you live.

My 15"MBPr goes dead when I plug in a TV over HDMI

I have a 2014 15"MBPr. It is the version with the 750M. All firmware and software is up to date, all the cabling has been verified to be working.
I use this laptop at a desk my lot. Until recently, my setup was a 24inch AOC display connected through an apple mini display to HDMI adapter. I leave the laptop screen open and run both. This has worked fine since I've had the computer. I have lots of other peripherals plugged in too these are as follows.
Thunderbolt to Ethernet (meaning both thunderbolt ports are occupied. Wifi is not an option)
USB3 Hub, which has my keyboard (A DAS Model S), my mouse (a Logitech Performance MX), my 3TB western Digital drive, and my focusrite scarlet USB audio.
Recently, I bought a TV. It is a 42 inch Vizio, model number M422i-b1. I went and bought an HDMI cable so that I could use it as a display if I wanted to. I plugged the HDMI in to the TV on one end, and then in to the HDMI port on my mac on the other end. It worked fine, I set up the displays so they weren't all mirrored, and so they were arranged in the right way.
I used the setup like this for an hour or two, then disconnected the laptop to take somewhere.
I came back a couple hours later, and reconnected the computer in the same manner that I described above:
Ethernet to one thunderbolt port
Display out to my AOC monitor on the other
USB out to all the other things
Power in via magsafe
After connecting it all up I tried to wake the computer, and nothing happened. The backlit keyboard came up, but all three screens stayed black. It seemed like the two external displays were getting a signal, but the signal was a black screen. Both external displays (The AOC and the Vizio TV) usually will say "No Signal" If they are not getting anything, but they were not saying "No Signal"
- I tried a restart of the computer, nothing. All screens stayed black but I did hear a startup chime as usual. The grey screen and apple logo came up, but after that was finished loading all screens went black.
- I tried connecting the displays after the laptop was up and running, I did the monitor first via thunderbolt and it worked fine, so I eliminated that as not being the problem. When I plugged the TV in via HDMI though, all the screens immediately went black.
- After force restarting the computer again, I tried plugging the HDMI in to a different HDMI plug on the TV. The same problem persists with all four HDMI plugs. Then I tried leaving the cable on on the TV and pluggign the HDMI in to the computer when there wasnt anywhere for the computer to output to. Even without the HDMI port I want to use on the TV selected as the one I want ot use, the computer immedeatly goes black when I plug in HDMI.
- Every time I force restart the computer, upon logging in (without the TV connected, computer will not even boot with TV connected) I recieve a message that says "Your computer shut down because of a problem, do you wish to continue?"
- I have tested all the inputs on the tv with other devices (A windows PC and a PS3) and they all work fine. In adition the HDMI cable I am using is good.
What should I do from here to fix the problem?

BB8700 goes dead when dialing or receving a phone call

My BB8700 dies completely (does not turn itself off; just clicks and goes blank; it is like it can't maintain connection with the tower while receiving or making a phone call) (and must re set itself) when receiving a phone call or while dialing a call, but only sometimes does anyone else had this intermittent problem and how did you solve it?
it appears that it happens less whn the unit is being charged -- could the battery be somehow defective --everything else works AND the restrict my identity is off.

If device battery goes to dead state too fast - consider the battery replacement.
If device battery works ok - try to do the following:
when device is on - remove the battery, wait a minute and turn it back to the device.
Also make sure that the device internal memory is not full.
It can be checked via Options - Status.

3g ipod goes dead when not in dock

everything works fine when it's plugged into the dock. charging, menus, no problems. when i disconnect it from the mac it goes totally dead. nothing works. is this a battery issue? should i have it replaced?

Just solved my mini low battery issue. My iPod mini was also not holding charge for long and I'd plug it in and it would charge to when it said full, but clearly wasn't playing as if it had a full charge.
So, I plugged it in and if you click disconnect and leave it plugged in to the computer, the charging bar will appear. Perform a reset, which will not delete anything, by
holding down the Menu and Select(middle)buttons. When the the apple icon appears it should start charging more.
It turned out mine was not fully charge and seems to be resuming it's normal charge cycle. So, give it a try and let me know if that works for you too. Good luck. Btw, mine is a 4GB, 1 yr old 2nd generation mini.

Mouse goes dead when printer powered up

I have a Beige, but recently was given an early G3 iMac, 233mhz processor, 288mb ram.
I successfully installed OS 9.2.2 (starting with an OS 9.1 iMac disk..........the iMac had 8.6 on it) and updated the firmware; removed the hard drive, hooked it up to my Beige and copied some applications onto it.
Everything works fine, except:
When my Brother printer (USB) is turned on, whether plugged directly into an original USB port or through a powered hub, the mouse icon still shows and moves, but clicking it does nothing.
This does not happen with the Beige. The printer works just fine plugged into the USB card or hub.
I have tried 2 mice and two keyboards; I have removed all the Brother software and extensions from the hard drive and reinstalled from the Brother CD. I have gone to Brother's website and looked for updates....nothing.
Any ideas?

Hi James.
Sounds like a hardware problem that could be unique to iMacs. It's probably best to drop in the CRT iMac forums and introduce yourself. Chances of finding a fellow traveller with a similar experience is greater there.

When I download music it goes to my Music folder...

When I download music it goes to my Music folder, than I put it into iTunes,but in my Music folder I have categorys like Alternative, Hip Hop.etc..also tha same in itunes,Now when I put it the song into the category in my music folder iTunes than cant find it,,so I have to go and relink it again and its a pain in tha butt..I hope u guys understand what im saying..:) I Would apreciate any help.

If you mean you first put songs into the top level of your My Music folder, then add them to iTunes by "add folder to library" or by drag and drop, and then you go back later and change the location of the file on your hard drive, such as putting it into a subfolder within My Music called Hip-Hop, then yeah, iTunes will loose track of the song and you'll have to relink it.
The feature that I most want in iTunes is integrated folder management, so that you can do that within iTunes and iTunes would follow where everything went. But they don't have it. They have a feature where iTunes goes through and renames every file and generates its own folder structure (preferences/Advanced/General: check "keep iTunes folder organized", and set the iTunes folder to the top folder where you keep your music. Warning: this will immediately begin the renaming process). I don't like iTunes' folder structure. If iTunes were to be the only music player I would ever have for the rest of my life, it could keep all the songs in a single encrypted database and I wouldn't care. But it's not, and I do care.
Here's what I do: I just move the files. Or I rename the files. I do this to too many songs to manually relink each changed file. Then I choose "add folder to library", and I choose my top level music folder, in your case My Music. ITunes will go through and add all songs that aren't already in its list, and for songs that you moved this will create two duplicate entries for the song, one new and good and the other pointing to an invalid path. Eventually, when iTunes tries to do something with the invalid song, such as play it, it won't find it and will put the exclamation by it, as you've found out. Before you delete the old duplicate bad entry, copy your star rating the the new songs, if you use them, and to keep your playlists intact, click through each one to see if there are songs with exclamations and replace them with the updated entry.
To sort and remove all dead links at once, see this post:

Zen 4GB Goes dead after a few hours of playing music & there is a patt

Tried to search for but could not find the match.
My Zen 4GB works?fine while playing for a short period of time (roughly <= 2hours). Bought the unit recently.
It happened a few times (quite consistently) that when I play music for an extended time (roughly 2+hours) it goes dead and has to be reset.
I tried to update the firmware but was told I had the same version as the one on the web.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ahoy

Are you "fully charging" your Zen?
The battery charge indicator is fully green, not flashing and has a key/symbol within the battery indicator.
Also,
Regarding lithium-ion shelf life, one of our engineers recently met with a battery-house representati've. It has come to their attention that repeated charging and re-charging of a less than fully discharged Li-ion cell affects the battery "gas gauge" included with many devices. Over a number of cycles there is a resultant loss in accuracy. Frequently, the indicated remaining charge has little relationship to the actual amount of life left in the cell! Fortunately, according to the battery expert, the gauge will reset itself if the battery is allowed to completely discharge from time-to-time.

I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

I spilled some pop on the back of my iPad. I cleaned it off and everything seems to be going good but when I play music it will either play with no sound or play then continue with no sound. What can I do to fix this (without being costly, it's a iPad 2)

What can I do to fix this (without being costly, it's a iPad 2) this happens with other music apps too. Please I need help!

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. If it doesn't work, there isn;t much anyone here can do for you. It may be a physical problem with your speakers.
