Can't get the charge light to turn green

I have had the unit plugged into my Powerbook G4 overnight and still the orange light does not change to green ( charged). What's up?

Thomas Jamrog,
Was the PowerBook in sleep mode at all during the night?
If so the iPod Shuffle (Second Generation) may not charge while the computer is in sleep mode.
The last 20% of the battery is trickle charged and takes approximately 2 hours of the 4 hour estimated charge time. If the charging is interupted, the trickle charge portion may need to start over.
Thank you,
Nathan C.

    I Have a iphone 4s and can't get the charger to come out...it was hard to get out the time before but i thought it was just me so then i charged it last night tryed taking it out and it is stuck on one side and will not come out...any suggestions on how to get it out?

    You will just have to carefully pull harder. Push the other side back in so it is aligned, then pull it straight out.

    WIFI can be uesd.
    I put my card into other phones and then it works.

    Your plan with the carrier allows you to make calls send SMS send MMS and if the plan provides for it it also gives you cellular data.  Cellular data is what your phone would use if you access the internet over the phone network rather than with wifi.  If you have cellular data as part of your plan then you should be able to access the internet using 3G telephone network

  • My phone fell in water and I put it in rice and everything works but now I can't get the charger in the charging thing. Like it won't go in... What do I do?

    I had my iPhone 5c in my pocket the other day and it fell in the toilet... I was mortified. I immediately grabbed it out and ran and got a bowl of rice and stuck it in. Siri was going crazy all night cause the home button wasn't working so I turned it off for the night. When I turned it on she was working perfectly! Until today when I tried to plug in the charger. The charger just will not go in! I don't know if rice got stuck in there or what but I do not know what to do! Please give me some suggestions guys!!! Also hopefully cheap cause I don't have the money to pay for a new one lols... Thank you

    First of all, you are fortunate that everything works.  Secondly, I agree that rice may be the culprit in the charging port.  However there is a chance that your trying to fix it could actually harm the port and cost you, so I suggest you first get under a bright light and use a magnifying glass to see exactly what and where the obstruction is.  Attempting to connect the charging cable has probably already forced the obstructing substance further down into the port.  Obviously the port is small and will require some kind of tool to help you remove whatever is in there.  I suggest a plastic toothpick that is not likely to break and shouldn't do damage to the contacts.  Tweezers may be useful but if utilized be very cautious not to scrape anything if at all possible. 

  • New iMac: how can I get the internal mic to turn off?

    I always have Facetime cameras and internal mics disabled for privacy. Cameras are easy to block, but the Sound pane doesn't allow me to disable the mic, only turn the input down to the bottom. Supposedly, its off, right?
    Poking around in Prefs, I saw that my supposedly "disabled" microphone showed a response in the Dictation & Speech pane VU meter when I would snap my fingers around the bezel. Even worse, it showed a response to conversation in another room, the refrigerator starting up in the kitchen 25 feet away, and even an increase in ambient noise. Going back to the Sound prefs, the mic input is still turned "down" and doesn't show a response when I snap my fingers.
    So... how is it that this supposedly defeated mic is working normally, and in fact exceeding expectations, despite being effectively turned "off" in the Sound pane?
    Basically, this iMac is a very expensive bug sitting on my desk. Is there a way to properly disable the mic in the system? I can't even find the thing to block it physically, like with bezel cameras. There is no place for an external mic to plug in either, which would physically bypass any internal mic on my previous Macs.

    Interested parties may want to know...
    I went to the Apple Store two weeks ago for a replacement Airport Express. While I was waiting for it, I struck up a conversation with one of the store staff, and brought up the mic issue. We spent a good ten minutes going through the few ways of securing the mic, and we determined that every iMac made has the ability to continue listening evne though dictation is shut off. Unlike old Macs, you can't disable the mic in the Sound prefs. You can't turn off listening in the Dictation prefs - even though turning off "dictation" means the dictation part of the OS stops listening. The only way to definintely shut off the "listening" part is to keep the Audio Devices panel open, select Built-in Microphone, and make sure the master mute button is checked. Also, you have to leave the Dictation & Speech pane open in Preferences to watch the mic display.
    Even so, going to any other preference panel and then back to Dictation & Speech means that the master mute will uncheck itelf and the mic goes back to listening mode.
    The staff member was quite frustrated by this and said it appears the only way to stop the iMac from listening with any certainty would be to block the mic, just like millions of users block the Facetime camera with a piece of tape.
    I suppose I should admit defeat at this point, and maybe I should have long ago recognized that no matter what the system tells us, we shouldn't trust it. Simply clicking on a radio button to disable what in all actuality is really a room bug shouldn't have us letting out a sigh of relief and saying "Wow I'm glad I was able to stop that security issue by trusting the machine to let me know when it was listening."
    In another year my Apple Care will run out. Then I'm going to take this iMac to my local authorized service center to have a hybrid drive installed and the internal memory maxed out. While they're in there, I'll have the mic physically removed.

  • Just set up the time capsule, connected everything per the set up  instructions, can't get the amber light to stop blinking.

    I have tried to re-start my modem and the time capsule, both to no avail.The amber light keeps blinking, and the software cannot find it wirelessly.

    Reset it to factory and redo the setup.. this happens a lot now if you have moved on the Mavericks..
    Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local for your wireless.
    Otherwise use an iOS device with the latest firmware and use the airport utility for iOS.. it is much more reliable than the computer version.

  • I have a new Apple TV, I plugged it in yesterday and it worked fine. I then did the update and went to bed. Today I can't get the Apple TV to turn on again! HELP

    I have a new Apple TV, I plugged it in last night and it worked fine, I then, I was mirroring with my iPad and everything. It then prompted me to to the update so I hit update and went to bed. Today I can't turn the Apple TV on!
    It just says no signal on my tv.
    I've tried pressing menu and down arrow for 6 seconds, an apple appears on my tv screen but then it goes back to saying no signal!
    Is it broken?

    Check these troubleshooting steps:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1551?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Specifically I wonder if the AppleTV may be trying to connect with an unsupported resolution giving a black screen.  Try cycling display resolutions using these remote commands in step 6:
    If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
    Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
    When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
    Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
    Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
    Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
    Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Select button will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
    If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
    If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.

  • How can I get my ipod touch to turn on or to charge?

    How can I get my ipod touch to turn on or charge?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • TS5366 My grandson made a purcase on my account without my permission, my paypal acct had an expired debit card on file and the charge went thru anyway, making my checking acct go negative. How can I get this charge reversed?

    My grandson made a purchase without my permission using my paypal account that has an expired debit card info. and the charge went thru anyway making my checking account go negatve. How can I get this charge reversed?

    Purchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If the purchase was made on an iOS device then to try and stop it happening again you can use Settings > General > Restrictions to turn off in-app purchases, and you can require your password to be entered for every download.

  • My MBP won't turn on. The charger light goes green but then dims out before it goes out again

    My MBP suddenly stopped working when I came back to it. I tried charging it with a couple of different chargers and different sockets. The charger light turns green but then slowly dims down before it turns off.
    I tried all key combinations for starting up - holding the power key for long, Cmd+Opt+P+R with power button, Cmd+R with power button, but none of them work. The laptop won't turn on.
    What could be wrong?

    If you are still under warranty call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty.
