Brand new iphone4, charging for 4 hrs only gone up 2%

Just bought an iphone4, took it out of box and batterypower was at 3%. Cant do anything because the phone kept shutting off. Plugged it in to charge it and its been 4 hrs (give or take) and its only gone up to 5%. Is it normal for it to take this long to charge???

Yes I am charging via a wall socket, I tried through my pc and it wasnt doing anything then almost 2 hours ago I plugged it into the wall socket and in almost 2 hrs it has gone from 3 to 5, I think I am going to have to take it back, this just seems way to long. Thanks for he reply's.

OS X reports %74 keyboard battery for brand new fully charged batteries

I just placed three brand new fully charged 2450mAh Energizer batteries into my wireless keyboard and OS X reports that it is only %74 charged. Previously I had the same result with rechargeable Duracell batteries but using non-rechargeable batteries OS X reports %100 battery when using new batteries. Is this normal?

The reason just may be that rechargeable batteries no matter what kind (ni-cad, HMDS, or Lithium) are 1.2v batteries rather than 1.5v's like Alkaline batteries. That is why the keyboard and mouse instructions state that, "rechargeable batteries may be used." Which implies to me they are not the first choice of Apple. In all probability, the battery level is in fact calibrated for 1.5v batteries.
No matter, rechargeable's will work fine with more frequent replacement. A handy spare set solves the problem.

Can i use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa

I have ipad 2 and i bought new ipad for my dad. Both ipads charge quickly with ipad2 charger as compare to new ipad charger.
So, my question is.. Is it okay to use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa...???

The iPad 1, iPad 2 and new iPad all use the same 10W charger.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at

Brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud

I have a brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud. I have tried different types of headphones, but get the same result. If I jiggle the connector pin, I can get sound on both earbuds, but only on one side when the connector pin is push all the way in.
I have an older Ipod g4 without this problem
any suggestions?

Try on your ipod going to Settings-General-Accessibility. Scroll down into Hearing and see that Mono Audio is off. Maybe that's the problem.

Brand new iPad mini 2 32 gig , only 22.3 GB available memory. Is this normal?

Hi , yesterday I bought from John Lewis an iPad Mini 2 with 32 GD.
All I have doe with it is look at a couple of internet pages. I was very surprised to see in the settings / general that the available space is 22.3 GB from a capacity of 27.4 GB .... how can this be ?
The iPad came with 7.1.2 installed, and I have left that on.
How can there only be 22.3GB available ... that would suggest someone who bought a 16 GB, would only have 6.2GB available.
Could someone please explain ? I get the 27.4GB capacity (I assume 4.6GB used for the OS .... but 22.3 available ?

This lack of memory on a brand new device suggests that the iOS 8 update was automatically pushed to your device. This will happen if your device is connected to a valid Wi-Fi connection, is plugged in to the charger or a live PC and there is ample storage space on the device to hold the update. Apple seems to think that users want this huge update auto-pushed to them...I don't think this is the case at all.
Check to see if the auto-pushed iOS 8 update has indeed been installed: Settings/General/Usage. Wait for the list to populate fully and check for an iOS 8 update near the top of the list (largest app are listed at the top). You can delete this update as you can with any other app from the list. Tap on it, then tap the Delete button.

HT201412 My ipod 5 charger is not working it's been charger for 12 hrs and it won't come on would you happen to have any idea what to do?

I am really wondering if I should get a new iPod 5 or get it checked out at Best Buy in Muncie, Indiana if so respond back because I need to know because my charger isn't working well at all and it's been charging for 12 hours so please let me know so I can get it fixed it's from Geek Squad the brand of my iPod 5
Thank You for your help!

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The appointment is free.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
You can also go the BB is you want but they may charge you.

Brand new Battery charging 10% at a time...

Hi I have a 1.3ghz with a brand new battery (not apple some chinese ebay...) and everything works fine except the battery wont charge more than 10% at a time.
After every 10% I get the not charging message, I remove then put back the battery and it starts for another 10%. It's charging all the way to 99%. And will offer reasonable time and power when I use it.
I tried reseting PMU and Nvram.... nothing.
I not sure it's a battery problem because once charged it offers great and stable power for near 5h30.
Any ideas, help, or similar seen things.
Could it be the power supply, logic board......?????
Thanks for the help!

jfmebo:
I recently purchased an eBay battery for my daughter's iBook G4 and it seems to work fine. The issue may be with this particular battery that you got. I would see if you can get it exchanged.
The other possibility is that your DC in board may be failing and not supplying continuous power the battery.
I would first get the battery exchanged. If the same behavior persists, I would look at the DC-in board.

Battery Life on brand new macbook pro 15 inch i5 only lasting 3 hours

The battery on my macbook pro is only lasting 3 hours with light use...If i'm watching a video or on a game it lasts maybe an hour or 2. I charged it fully when I first got it out of the box 2 days ago.
I have tried calibrating it which worked a little bit. But still nothing like the promised 8 hours. Not even near 6 hours.
Can anybody help?

I tell you how to maximise it mate .. Fully charge your battery and leave it on charge for 2 hours .and then create the minimum power consumption scenario ( kill bluetooth , minimise brightness , kill all apps etc ) AND THEN remove the plug .. use at this state until about 70% charge and continuously monitor the capacity like I mentioned earlier when you see it hit a high, plug it in you will see now that will become your permanent capacity .. allow full charge and leave it plugged for a day . .repeat the same .. after about a week now this time do the same but reduce down to the 40% range and always plug in at a high capacity point..you will train you r battery this way ..
I am glad I could help .. altho it took a bit of fighting the external obstructions it's all good
take care ,,

Charging for 12 hrs plus, almost half charged. What's with that?

Have been attempting to recharge an iPad for more than 12 hrs now and still am not halfway there. What's with that?

IntuitivelyImpaired wrote:
Luckily, I happen to have a Samsung adapter that accomodates a USB plug drawing juice from a wall socket.
Although it will charge the iPad, this Samsung charger will probably charge much more slowly than the iPad charger. The iPad charger is rated at 10 Watts (or 12 W if a 4th gen iPad). The Samsung adapter is not likely rated that high, so charging will be slower. Why not use the correct charger for your iPad?

Brand new iphone4 was working now completely dead. It won't even turn on.

I just got a new iphone4 and it was working fine. Syncing it up was great. I was using it and it was working fine.
Then I went to use it 30 minutes later and nothing....
I tried to reset it...nothing.
Even though I knew it was charged I plugged it in and nothing....it didn't even show it charging.
I plugged it into itunes and it did not automatically open itunes.
I held down the on/off button and opened itunes. It told me it needed to restore so I am restoring it but the screen on the phone is blank.
I'm assuming I have to just take it in but if anyone has any suggestions or this has happened to them. I would appreciate some advice.
Thanks!

Can I trade in a Brand New iPad 2 for the New iPad?

I have had the iPad 2 since late July 2011 in Australia. Since then it has had some problems, one major one recently was the screen near the Home Button starting to peel off.
I took it in to the apple shop and the next day i picked but a brand new iPad 2, and have restored all my old stuff on it.. and now i am wondering if i can swap this for the new iPad?
Thanks

Apple don't do trade-ins - all they do is allow returns if you bought it from them within the past 14 days. If you want the new model then will probably get more for your current one by selling it privately and then buying the new one, and not looking for a store that does trade-ins.

My mac is freezing on start up. its brand new just opened for the first time. installed the updates and it froze. can anyone help?

My new mac is freezing on start up. after the initial start up, i did software updates and now its frozen. can anyone help?

If this is really a NEW Macbook Pro and this happened the first time you turned it on and did Software Updated then you need to take it back to where you bought it and RETURN IT FOR A FULL REFUND. Then decide whether to buy another NEW unit or move on to something else.
Apple has a No Questions Asked 14 day return policy. Take advantage of that and return this unit. This type of thing should NOT happen on a Brand new notebook.

My dad bought a new USB charger for his iPhone 3GS after connecting it it kept restarting I got it to recovery mode but wen restoring I get a msg error (01)

So my dad bought a new USB cable for his iPhone 3GS wen he connected the iPhone to charge he said it turned off n turned on after but then it kept on restarting every 1min.. But it goes to main screen then it restarts over n over I manage to get it into recovery mode n I connected to itune were it asks me to upgrade n restore wen I click ok it starts normal to download n get up to restoring iPhone wen it's about to finish a msg pops up on iTunes saying "iTunes could not restored because an error was detected on iPhone (error 01) .
I tried a whole bunch of times trying to restore but I won't get through at all
Any other ideas would be glad to know I also tried getting out of dfu mode but it just won't .

Is your software up to date? You also should be able to leave DFU mode easier then you get in it. DFU mode means nothing is on your iPhone's screen when restoring.
