Can't seem to charge battery of new shuffle
Hello. Happy Holidays everyone.
I must have tried charging my shuffle three or four times. Left it attached to my PC at work for hours and hours. I still get the green/orange light telling me it's not all the way charged. I still haven't been able to use my shuffle b/c I can't get it charged up.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I have had a similar problem with a new iPod Shuffle, and I have tried to charge it after Restore on both a Mac Pro 8-core running 10.5.6 and a G5 running 10.4.11, with iTunes up to date. While connected, the Shuffle emits a flashing orange light. Disconnected, it emits a solid green light for about five seconds, then goes dark. Does someone from Apple read these discussions? We really could use some help here.

Charging a brand new shuffle ?
I bought a brand new shuffle still sealed to back up in case 1 of my other 2 shuffles gets broken or dies. Is it best to not charge it until its need?
Hello kidthorazine,
Is it best to not charge it until its need?
It is best to charge the iPod Shuffle every once in a while as described in the FAQ below. Even if you don't use the device much you should still complete a full charge cycle at least once a month to maintain maximum battery force. Leaving your iPod idle so long could diminish the iPod's battery life. Basically, you just want to keep its juices flowing.
You may want to check out the rest of the information provided in this FAQ as well regarding iPod batteries.

I can't seem to charge my macbook air
There appears to be something in the way preventing me from charging my mac book air. I don't know where it came from but it just seem to have appreared it's just high enough that the charger can't connect.
What I understand is that it doesn't charge, neither the green nor amber lights turn on when you connect the charger to the Mac. I also understand that there is no evidence that this is due the contacts not getting close enough.
So there may be several different causes and remedies:
Wall plug broken: try another
Charger died: try a good charger and if it works, get a new one
Some electronics in MBA died: try a good charger and if it does not work, have the MBA repaired -

One day watched videos with no problem. Next day, can't watch videos! Site says I need Flash 10.0 or higher. When I try to check what version I have, it says that Flash player is integrated with Windows 8, no need to install Flash Player. I am thinking that there are newer versions of Flash Player than what is integrated with Windows 8, but it's like I'm going around in circles, can't seem to upgrade to a newer version.
First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer.

You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

Having trouble syncing new shuffle with my itunes
This is getting really annoying, it keeps doing the autofill. I use it only to workout with, so I made a workout mix. On my 4th gen I have no problem setting it to only update certain playlists but I can't seem to do that with my shuffle. Is there anyway I can get it to stop doing autofill and just sync my workout list?

YES.
Look carefully to the right of the Autofill button... it says "Autofill from:" with a button that's labeled Music but also has arrows (up/down) which if clicked on gives you a list of all playlists in the sources panel... -
I have a older Nano, I think I got it in 2004 or 2005 and I have a sad iPod icon, and it seems like my battery won't charge, the low battery icon appears but never seems to do anything. If I buy a new iPod will I be able to transfer my songs and playlists to the new one easily? Thanks.
If you are using automatic syncing to load the iPod, all songs on the iPod are in your iTunes music library. So, you won't need to transfer anything from the old nano. Just sync the new iPod from your iTunes library the same way.
If you use the Manually manage music setting, AND there are songs on the iPod that are not in your iTunes music library, you will need to off-load songs to your computer first. You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer" you should get some links.
Also, if this is a 1st gen iPod nano, you can check this article to see if it applies to you

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?
Please take the Mac to Apple store to have it checked out.

Can my damaged macbook charger be damaging my battery?
hi there, a couple of weeks ago the magsafe connector of my brand new macbook charger (85 W) felt into a bowl with some melted ice cream in it. Essentially the charger is now damaged, it originally kept glowing even when disconnected but after cleaning it as best i could it began to only light up when plugged in as expected however it seems to have deteriorated from there:
i can always get it to charge eventually but only using one side of the magsafe (can't flip back and forth between sides) but sometimes it takes some wiggling to get the light to illuminate so it will charge
it seems to charge unusually fast, but maybe thats just because im paying attention now that i think theres an issue
the battery drains a lot quicker than it previously did (my laptop is only 1 1/2 years old battery has 494 cycles )
most recent issue is that twice within a few days of each other there has been an incident of the laptop just going black and requiring the power button to be held to get it to start up again citing the message ' Your computer shut down because of a problem' etc etc.
I am aware I should have replaced the charger immediately to be safe but I can't afford the £65 price tag at the moment as im a student and i thought because it initially seemed to charge as normal that it may be okay. Does it sound like this has done some permanent damage and if so what is the issue and (how) can it be fixed?
Cheers.You should be fine. Take it into your local apple store.
The only issue I could see is someone claiming that it was 'abuse or neglect', but that's up to the person you deal with. -
i dropped my phone last night on the floor and now it doesn't seem to be charging.
it comes up the battery on the screen but doesn't actually seem to charge.
i kept it on charge over night but that didn't work either.
can anyone help?You need to get your phone repaired. It's obviously damaged, and nothing we can suggest to you will fix that.

Bluetooth Wireless Apple Keyboard comes with Energizer batteries? Can't seem to register my new keyboard too.
I bought this new keyboard from the Ala Moana Store and was surprised to open the sealed box with two Energizer AA batteries inside. I didn't know batteries were supplied. The road clear plastic seal over the battery door was also missing. I am a little suspicious that this was a resealed return item.
The next thing I am trying to do is get it registered (like all my other apple items) just in case this turns out to be a lemon, but I can't seem to find a way to add it to my other items. There's no category 'Bluetooth' or 'Keyboard' in the equipment selection list.
So here's my question, did I get a used item that was resealed and put on the shop shelf? Someone else paid for this so it isn't showing up on my list of items. I would like to add it.
Thanks.
MikeHello Mik:
You cannot register a KB. Apple does not keep a database of peripheral devices.
I would question the store about the unwrapped batteries.... I would suspect that the device was returned by someone else.

New shuffle lost its battery charge
I bought a new shuffle Tuesday and tried to set it up yesterday. I charged the battery for 4 hours and it lit up green indicating a full charge. However, when I was ready to to start the transfer, it apparently had lost its charge as it lit up amber. Not only that, but even tho I followed the set-up instructions to the letter, there was no indication that the computer recognized the iPod even after running the installation disc thru again.
What a disappointment!I agree with you sir....same problem with me....my 2nd shuffle is a week old.....I have never ever seen a steady green or an orange light even after 20 hours of continuous charging though an USB 2.0 port on a Win XP Pro desktop PC....All I see is a blinking orange....I have tried following the doc that was suggested to you....reseting it five times......nothing works......contacted apple chat support.....they ran me through the same steps.....does not work....trying a different port and a different computer does not help either....I go to the local apple-authorized dealer from where I bought the shuffle....they have look at me as if I just spoke some fluent Chinese!!...they have absolutely no idea of what I am talking about....they are very ignorant...I am extremely disappointed.....showing them the apple support pages drew the reaction "Oh my god...what are these pages all about...why do they even exist?"......I have done a better job at looking at a solution....but so far I have not been able to find a solution to this problem.......Can someone offer a solution!!!!!!!...........
I am just waiting to discharge it completely and then check it for the last time before I take it back to the store....
Help me please!!!!...fellow users

My phone 5 died and now it wont turn back on or seem to charge at all. I've tried several different charger cords and outlets. And all the phone will do is show the empty battery symbol. please help! Any suggestions are apprecaited!?! thanks
Hello Cooper,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5. I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on. I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this. I recommend following the steps below:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Can't get new shuffle to charge or "eject" from computer
I have a new shuffle. Followed all directions to a tee, or at least I think I have. Even tried reformatting shuffle. I've already downloaded songs to the shuffle, but the orange light keeps blinking and will not stop. I have left it plugged in to the computer for 12 hrs and no change and no charge. The guide to the lights says that it indicates that it means the shuffle is being used as a disk source and needs to be ejected. However, I do not have that function enabled and even when I try to use the eject function it tells me I can't because I have shared files in another source. Any ideas?
I think I fixed the problem. I could not eject in i
Tunes because it was not enabled as an outside port
or disk in i tunes. I had to go to the Start menu
and go under my computer and eject there from the e
drive. It seems to have worked because it stoped
blinking and now has a steady oranage light which
means it is finally charging.
For future reference: While blinking orange the Shuffle charges anyway... you just can;t tell when it's fully charged UNLESS you either EJECT it, or disconnect it. -
I recently launched a podcast series (http://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/notes-from-northwest-passage/id449063851) but its still showing an older description text with some typos and an incorrect link in it, as I registered it with a pre-edited file so it would be in line for review while I finalized the details, and now I can't seem to get it to refresh and show the new texts at all, even though I edited the description texts in the xml file well over 2-3 weeks ago.
I've tried redoing this file several times. It always validates but changes never get picked up by the iTunes store.I can manually subscribe to the feed using iTunes' advanced menu, with no problems. The feed is at:
http://a4.g.akamai.net/7/4/66750/v1/smb2.download.akamai.com/66750/http/podcasts /archaeology2011/arcticarchaeology2011_eng.xml
I recently (about 3-4 days ago) tried redirecting the feed to a new version of the xml file stored in a new folder, just to see if that would somehow jolt it back into reading it, but again after 3-4 days it hasn't done anything.
It's also not showing any of the most recent episodes even though they have all been there about a week, so the store should have picked them up by now, no?
Any suggestions?If you look at the feed, and look at the entry 'The end to an exciting field season in Aulavik National Park' you will see the line:
<pubDateFri, 29 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
You have not closed the 'pubdate' tag - there should be a '>' as the 9th character. Because the tag has been left open, it invalidates everything which follows it, and thus the entire feed. iTunes therefore cannot read it, which is why the Store has not updated. Add the '>' and republish, and all should be well.
It's always worth checking your feed by subscribing manually, from the 'Advanced' menu, or by clicking the 'subscribe free' button on the Store page (both do the same thing) - if you can subscribe to the feed it should be OK.
