Can't charge phone battery in car

I'm having problems charging my phone thru my cars lighter socket, aftermarket stereo and an aftermarket usb socket I installed. All of these devices charge my daughters Motorola cell phone with the same cord. Am I doing something wrong? I previously had an iPhone4 and had no charging issues.

When you connect the USB-cable to the phone, do you get any indications about USB-connection with an icon or similar? If not, it sounds like the power source cannot deliver enought power to charge your unit.
To optimize the charging via car I would recommend the AN401 charger.

I can not charge the battery of my iPod, plug or on my computer

How long before you can't charge the battery

How many times can you charge the battery before replacing and where do you get it replaced?

From http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html :
A properly maintained iPad battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 1000 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.

Can I charge my battery before my phone is dead?

Can I charge my iPhone 5 & also 5c before it dies? I would like to be able to charge it every evening without losing battery life over the long term

neither of those responses are necessarily true, you can charge your apple device whenever but it is always good to let the device recharge fully from below 20% at least once a month. letting your device go completely dead is fine.

Can you charge the battery for too long?

I know that with cell phones if you leave the charger in for too long the battery starts to lose life. Is it the same way with the macbook or did the engineers work out a way that you can keep the charger connected for as long as you want and it won't drain battery life?
I'd like to charge the battery whenever I go to sleep but I'm afraid that it will have charged too much by the time I wake up. I learned that the hard way with my cell phone, which seems to lose power much quicker than it used to.

Hi,
since Apple recommends to never remove the battery while running the MacBook on AC-power, it is the logical conclusion.

How can I charge the battery on my US iPad and iPhone while in Europe?

I will be travelling to Ireland next month. I would like to bring my iPad 2 and iPhone 5s, but am concerned about charging the battery in Europe due to the voltage difference. Will the current charger work? Do I need to use a voltage converter for these devices?

All Apple chargers work from 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz power. All you will need is a plug adapter for the country you are in.
You can use your iPad charger to charge your iPhone (also, it will charge it faster than the iPhone charger).
 Cheers, Tom
Have a great time on your trip.

Hi,
I can't charge my phone 100%.
Could U help me with it?

It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

How can I charge the battery in my macbook pro on a plane

I am getting ready to take a flight to Australia. How what do i need to get to charge the battery on the plane?

You have to bring your charger with you and hope their is an electrical outlet that is compatible with your charger near the seat you are sitting in. I do not know of any other way.

Can I charge the battery in my iPod using the iPad power source?

Is it possible or safe to charge the battery in my iPod shuffle, using my iPad power supply.

Probably not, especially since the connector on the iPad is not "powered" meaning that it does not power anything. Moreover, I doubt you could find a connector that would work.

Equium A110-252 - Can't charge the battery

Hi there, please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place but I'm not sure what I am doing.
I have an old Toshiba Equium A110-252, my charger got damaged so I purchased a universal charger.
All was good for a couple of hours then everything stopped working.
I set the adjustable voltage to 19V hope this was correct!
All I get is a slow flashing amber light.
The manual tells me that this means either low power or power is getting to the laptop whilst in stand by mode.
Which ever I can't get the laptop to do anything.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Very best regards to all
Richard

Hi!
Why you did buy a compatible charger and not an original Toshiba? AC/DC adaptors from 3rd party manufactures can cause such problems.
In your case I would buy an original Toshiba charger. Normally it should work well again and if you are not sure you can contact an authorized service provider for help.
Bye

After updating to iOS 8.3 on my iPhone 6, Blu Logic bluetooth calls with a charging phone in my car do not go through the car's speakers. Siri's message now adds, "....calling _______on speaker."

Blu Logic bluetooth calls using "Hey, Sir" do not go through my car's speakers since updating to iOS 8.3. They are routed through the iPhone 6 speaker after Siri says, "....calling ________ on speaker." The "on speaker" term was never used before. The Blu Logic bluetooth unit is an aftermarket device installed in a 2005 Buick LaCrosse. It worked perfectly until the iOS 8.3 update.

OldGnome:
Blu Logic seems to keep a virtually invisible support presence on the internet. I did return to the aftermarket installer of the unit. He told me pretty much the same as you. Apple expects the equip. manufacturers to keep up with iOS. It's a bit of a Catch-22. Perhaps iOS 9 will exterminate the bugs!!
In the meantime, the only thing I've really lost is hands-free dialing for bluetooth calls in my car.

BB Curve 8310 Home Charger Does not work, but Car charger charges Phone.

Help !!! Home charger does not charge phone. But Car charger does. But Home charger works with another curve.
What can be wrong with the phone?

Oddly, it could be the device USB going bad.
Can you connect your Curve to your USB > PC and see the Curve connected in Desktop Manager?
If so, do a complete back up of the device -- just in case it is the USB port ON the device going bad. It happens.

Can I charge iPad in car

Just got an iPad. Can I charge it in the car with a Belkin Micro charger. It has 100mA on packet ?

100mA is only one fifth of what you get from a USB port, which will only charge the iPad if the screen is off. And that is only half of the power of the wall charger. I would suspect 100mA would be near as to totally ineffective.

X200 Ultrabase - charging second battery.

I checked the specifications for X200 Ultrabase and it says there that it has an option to charge second battery. Can you charge the battery while the laptop is not in Ultrabase? My X3 Ultrabase couldn't do that... Also, can it charge batteries of all sizes (3, 6 and 9-cell)?
Thanks in advance for replies.

OK after some severe searching, I found it. There IS a second battery charging feature on the X200 UltraBase!
Thank goodness for Lenovo Service and Support Training!
There's no information about this neat new second battery charging feature in the Lenovo online store. No information on the Lenovo Service and Support website either! It's not even mentioned in the X200 Ultrabase User Guide!
But the training guys nailed it.
Go to http://www.lenovoservicetraining.com/ion/ and navigate to Notebooks > ThinkPad > X200 > Videos. A video popup window will open. Go to the X200 UltraBase videos and watch them. You'll see the second battery charging port in action!
The X200 UltraBase Locations video shows the second battery charging connector.
The X200 Insertion and Removal videos shows a second battery being connected and disconnected.
So my earlier post was WRONG. I should have been harshing on Lenovo for hiding a great new feature!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!
