Brand New iPhone 4 Won't Charge!

We received our new iphone 4 this morning and plugged it in using the wall charger. The Quick Start Guide said to "charge it Fully".
I came back 4 hours later, and it's not charging! When I turn it on, I still see the battery indicator on RED and the red "lightening" bolt at the bottom.
Using the white adapter and usb cord purchased with the phone.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

This happened to me this morning for my less than 1 month old iPhone 4. I plugged into the wall charger last nite, turned it on and battery still showed 10% battery left and the warning window saying less than 20% battery power left was on the screen. I restarted and plugged it back in and nothing. Then I moved the wall charger to another wall socket and plugged the phone back in and voila, charging started but I am without a usable phone all morning.

  • Brand new ipad 2 won't charge

    Bought an iPad 2 in jan 2012.  In Dec 2013 it stopped charging.  Tried rebooting, lowering brightness and all the other tips but could not get it to reliably recharge.  Took it back to retailer who checked the iPad with 2 other chargers and decided there was a fault with the internal charging unit in the iPad. Under the shop guarantee, they replaced the ipad, but this doesn't charge either?  They did not replace the charging cable or plug. It's the original 10w charger.  Does anyone have any idea as to why a brand new iPad 2 will not charge with a 10w charger?

    1. Make sure battery is charged
    2. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Brand New Macbook Pro Won't charge

    I recently joined the Mac world, and purchased my first Mac, a Macbook Pro. I have had it less than 3 weeks and the battery won't charge. I have called the support line, several times and they had me take the battery out put it back in press 4 keys and restart worked a couple of times, but I had to do everytime I shut my computer down, not fun at all. Finally they sent me a new battery and that one doesn't charge either. I'm kind of frustrated with the entire process, I was thrilled to be advancing in the technology world but now am very disappointed with the service to help get this issues resolved. So now I have a product I can't use, brand spanking new laptop collecting dust, and the only solution they have for me is to drive 100 miles to an apple certified dealer to have them look at it, only open Mon - Fri. So know I have to take off work, drive way out my way to have someone look at my computer. But the catch is they might charge me even though I purchased the extended 3 year apple warranty. So know I'm back to using my PC. My thrill is gone. All I want is to use my laptop, and experience the Mac way, does anyone have any solutions. So far my experience with mac support is not too thrilling what's the purpose of purchasing the warranty and I recieve no help on their end. HELP?

    that doesn't make any sense.... you have a 3 year warranty... they can't charge you... thats the point of the warranty!!
    you don't have to drive out to drop your laptop off.... call apple care and they will send you a box in the mail so then you can put your laptop in it and send it back to them so they can repair what they need to repair.... you said that you can't use it anyways so i guess it wouldn't matter that you would be out a laptop for a few weeks....
    I wouldn't let them say they cannot do anything for you, thats just ridiculous, you paid good money for your computer as well as a warranty... be persistent.

  • Brand new Ipod mini won't charge

    HI,
    Apologies if this has been covered before - I'm posting for a friend who's just bought a brand new 4Gb ipod mini, and having synced her music and having had 1 week of good tunes on the go, it now won't charge.
    If you plug the usb 2.0 cable into the ipod and the pc (yes, I'm sure the usb is usb 2.0 on the pc), it brings up the charging icon, but instead of animating the bars etc, it sits still, with one bar filled in. And doesn't appear to charge, as there is no power to turn it on.
    Has anyone else encountered this??
    I'm sure people will say try another cable, and to this end, I have a 3rd Gen ipod, and am going to try my firewire mains plug, will this work? as my friend doesn't have a mains plug yet - though she's ordered one.
    Any other ideas?
    Is it just that the battery is knackered - even though it's only a week old?
    Help
    Cheers all
    Pete

    Jeff,
    Thank you for the info - I apologise for cross posting I've been inactive on the discussions pages for about 6 months and had forgotten - I also wanted a quick response, which I got thanks.

  • Brand new Ipod touch won't charge or turn on

    I recently got a brand new Ipod touch. The first thing I did was plug it in to charge it. A red battery icon showed up on the screen. I left the ipod on the charger for hours and the icon was still red. It won't turn on either. I have tried connecting it to ITunes but the red battery icon just comes up whenever I plug it into the computer and it does not show up on itunes. I am new to the ipod touch so maybe I am doing something wrong, or is there a fault in the ipod??
    Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks!

    First try reset.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Brand New Iphone 4 won't appear on device listing

    I've just got a new iPhone 4 and I plugged it in to my computer to initially register it for use but my computer would read the phone but iTunes wouldn't register it on the device list.
    I brought it to work today and it worked fine. Came home and tried a number of things such as removing iTunes and not restarting etc. I've been at it for nearly 2 days now and I'm none the wiser. I've just got no idea what to do with it. It charges on the computer, it appears on the computer as being an iPhone but iTunes won't do a thing with it.

    I bought it custom built from overclockers and it only had the operating system and updated drivers with it. I don't think it could be that. I've looked after it well. My friend had a jailbroken phone registered on my iTunes for awhile would that have had any conflict with iTunes for future devices connected to it at all?

  • Brand new Iphone 4s won't sync with my itunes.

    Iphone is brand new. I'm using the latest version of itunes 10.6 i think), and the iphone is version 6.0  All I get is a message that keeps saying "Waiting for changes to be applied".  This is so frustrating. Can someone please help? The phone is brand new with no voice messages on it.

    no no a hard reset is just something you do to the phone, you wont lose any data or anything else its litterally like starting your phone on a fresh slate running wise but you wont lose anything at all, all your apps settings etc will still be right as you left it. think of it as a step above turning it off and on again

  • Brand new iPhone 4 won't sync with iTunes!!

    I can see this topic has been covered several times but I haven't been able to fix this problem. Is it true that you must have iTunes 10.1 to use an iPhone 4?!?! Because I was never informed of that...sorry if I'm sounding stupid but I am brand new to mac and to the iphone and don't understand. I have read elsewhere that you only need iTunes 9.2 (which I have) but when I plug in my iphone it says I need version 10.1...and I can't get version 10.1 because I only have OS X 10.4.11...what the heck am I supposed to do? Is it true I'll have to pay an additional $130 to upgrade on top of all the money I just dropped on the phone?
    Please help!

    If you would have looked at the tech specs:
    Mac system requirements
    * Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    * Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    * iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    * iTunes Store account
    * Internet access
    This has been out since the phone was launched. Depending on your Mac it might be a $30, or a 130. best to make an appt with your local Apple store to see what can be done.
    Good luck.

  • Brand New MacBook Air Won't Charge

    I just bought a new Macbook Air 1.8 GHz (the more expensive version) and from the second I opened it, it would not charge. The only way I can use the laptop is if it is plugged in. When I look at the computer's info, it says BATTERY INSTALLED: NO CHARGING: NO CYCLE COUNT:0
    What happened? Was it supposed to come with the battery installed? Should I send it back?

    if the store is close take it back and ask for replacement, otherwise call and ask for replacement
    you could call support and get it fixed under warranty...
    U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
    ...but if it is brand new you have a reasonable expectation to get what you paid for, so going for replacement is the beter option

  • Brand new iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 7.0.2

    I just got a 5s about five hours ago and it won't update to iOS 7.0.2 because it says it's still restoring- it's not. I've tried restarting the phone but that didn't help.

    Did you setup as new iPhone or restore from iCloud? If iCloud it must be doing restore in background for apps and data. Check in settings -iCloud and wait for couple off hours.

  • Brand new iPhone 6 won't turn on

    I had my new iPhone 6 yesterday and everythings seems to be fine. It had more than half charge with no open apps on the background when i went to sleep and it was turned off in the morning. The alarm had not ringed. So i have tried everything including hard resetting, charging and reading everything i could find. Yet, there is no response from the device. Can someone please comment if they are able to solve this without having to go to store again.

    How long did you try and charge it? Plug the device in and make sure that you have allowed it to charge undisturbed for at least 30 minutes. With it still connected to the charger, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release the buttons. This could take up to 30 seconds. The phone should reboot at that time.
    If this does not help, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple store or authorized Apple service provider to have the device looked at.

  • Brand new Iphone 5c won't sync with Itunes

    I am new to the Iphone.
    I just bought a new iPhone 5C and wanted to sync it with my itunes library. I have hooked up the phone to the computer with the USB cable provided, and updated my itunes to most current version.
    Everytime I have searched for help, the general answer is to hook up the iphone, and then choose the device under files tab. Or that the device should appear next to the tab that takes you to the itunes store. But neither of these show up as an option for me. ( I can click devices, but can't click anything after that).
    Any help will be appreciated.

    If you would have looked at the tech specs:
    Mac system requirements
    * Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    * Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    * iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

  • Brand new G780, battery won't charge

    I got my G780 a month ago. It was brought to me from USA (I'm in Europe) where it was only tested for a few minutes. Yestarday I started it up for the first time. Battery stays on "0% (plugged in, charging)" and it won't charge. I tried to take it out and hold the power button for a minute - nothing.

    hi,
    Can you try turning on the system without the AC plugged in see if that'll work.
    If it does not turn on I suggest you check this international Warranty Hotline numbers.

  • Brand new iPhone 4 won't work In iTunes, it says "must restore". Any ideas?

    I bought a new iPhone 4 from Telus and they switched it from my old 3GS. Once I got home I plugged it into iTunes and it's it can't read iPhone need to restore. I have 4.3.3 os. Any ideas? I am afraid there is something wrong with it.

    I have not yet, I read that someone has done it 3 times and it still says to restore. Couldn't hurt to restore, just wondered if it was a known issue. Don't want to loose any info.
