Charging Amongst Other Issues

My phone has a big issue with charging. At first it only charged really slowly for hours at a time. THEN it only charges when I put it on airplane mode or take it off and now with it being on those options it charges to a certain number and then decreases in percentages. In addition to this after a little bit of charging it says "this device cannot be charged" or something along those lines Amongst charging it freezes a lot, takes a very long time to load apps/pages etc. and sometimes i cant even click on apps and the screen is just stuck. I dont know if I need a new phone entirely or if its something that can be fixed.

Try cleaning the connector port on your iPhone.

Battery will not charge. and other issues

Well i'm working on a friend of mines notebook, its a n100 model 0768 12u running windows xp. This is the situation so far. First his hard drive had fried so i replaced that and put the o.s. back on it,but now the battery will not charge. also the wireless network card and dvd drive did not work. I had originally thought that they might have fried as well when the hard drive went down. However I looked through the forums here and found that alot of people solved the battery issue simply by replacing the battery i recommended that. He purchased a replacement battery ( not a genuine lenovo battery, don't know if that makes a difference) and when i put it in the dvd drive and the network card started working no problem. But alas the battery still would not charge. the system runs fine without a battery in it, but if i put the battery in it while its running it turns itself off after about 30 seconds of having the battery in. when the system is powered off and i put the battery in the battery lcd in front blinks 5 times orange then nothing for about 30 seconds then 5 more times. maybe thats a trouble code, don't know, looked all oover the forums and couldn't find anything quite like it. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Steve

Duck3,
Glad that worked for you! Thanks for sharing here.
I saw a weird situation on friend's ThinkPad recently - a replacement battery arrived with a 37% charge (not 100% deliberately as somewhere around 40% is the best for shelf life), but it would not accept a charge. We did a reset by removing the battery & AC and pressing and holding the power button a number of times (some people say 10 times, some two or three times for a count of 5 or 10). This drains residual capacitance.
We plugged back in the battery and AC and it began to charge.
Might be worth a try here before he opens it up ....

Brand New 30GB Won't Charge and Other Issues

I bought this 30GB iPod on Friday night, thinking I would install software, load some music and be on my way. Instead, I have devoted the weekend to getting nowhere. My laptop has 3 2.0 USB ports and I have tried all three. I have repeated the "5 R" routine so many times I think I deserve a medal. The problems vary from attempt to attempt.
Right now the big deals are 1) the battery is not charging, in spite of being connected to the USB for most of the weekend; 2) the most recent "restore" seemed to take place, but now the screen is back to a battery with a lightning bolt (but no animation); 3) Windows does not recognize the iPod today, although yesterday it saw it as an external drive; 4) iTunes does not recognize the iPod, although Friday night it did transfer some songs; 5) the "Do Not Disconnect" screen is a frequent guest, sometimes static, sometimes animated. Reset works just fine to release.
As you might imagine, I am very frustrated, and afraid I have overlooked some silly, simple step that would have saved me all of this headache.
Help? (And "thanks" in advance!)

Problems Reinstalling OS X Maverick, amongst other issues...

Hello everyone,
I am having all sorts of problems with my MacBook Pro 13 inch (bought in Nov. 2012). I plugged in a USB cable connected to a smartphone and it immediately shut off the computer and would not turn back on. The power cord LED did not light up when plugged into the computer. To finally get the computer to boot, I had to remove the cables next to the RAM as a sort-of reset. That worked and everything was ok for maybe an hour or so, but then the computer froze. When I tried to boot it up again, it took me to the light grey screen with the Apple and the spinning wheel with a progress bar. The computer would not boot before the progress bar could finish; it shut down at every try. Now I am in rebooting in safe mode, attempting to fix the HD through Disk Utility. I repaired the drive and it came back that everything was fine. The "Repair Permissions" was greyed out, though I read that it's suggested to repair the permissions as well.
My next attempted fix is reinstalling OS X. I get all the way until it begins the installation process and immediately it says "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again." Now by the fifth time, I'm done trying again.
The only thing I can think now is that I have to replace the HD. What do you guys think? By the way, can I replace the HD myself or does it have to be done through Apple? The closest Apple store is 8 hours away in Panamá and it seems that they WAY over charge for everything.
Thanks for your valuable input and advice!
Mary Beth

Mary Beth,
if you don’t need the files which are currently on your internal disk, you could try booting into Recovery mode (by holding down ⌘R as your MacBook Pro starts up) and run Disk Utility there to completely erase your internal disk, then exit Disk Utility and shut down from the Apple menu. When you restart it after that, OS X Internet Recovery will download and reïnstall your MacBook Pro’s factory-installed version of OS X. If that succeeds, then you shouldn’t need to purchase a new hard disk.
If you’d prefer to replace the hard disk, then you could do it yourself; if you have a non-Retina model, you’d only need a Philips #00 screwdriver (to remove the screws on the bottom of the case; there are three different types of screws used, so keep track of which screw goes in which hole) and a T6 Torx screwdriver (to remove the screws in the hard disk which keep it in place in the disk bay, and put them into the new disk). If you have a 13-inch Late 2012 Retina model, then you might need a different set of tools, and the new disk would need to be a mini-SATA SSD instead of a SATA disk; I haven’t tried replacing the disk in Retina models, but ifixit.com probably has a page of instructions (and a list of recommended tools) for that model which would help.

Missing clock, volume etc in top finder bar amongst other issues in Snowlep

Hello Guys,
I was just wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there is a resolution.
a) in my finder bar at the top the clock and everything is invisible, when I try to change any settings for this finder crashes and when they do decide to be visible I cannot do anything with them as the color wheel is present when I scroll over them.
b) My battery is lasting about 20 minutes, I had a new battery, charger and connections under my apple care within the last 12 months and now it is telling me battery needs to be replaced.
c)When my battery is clost to dead the warning that comes up flashes every 10 seconds regardless whether I tell it to or not and is drinving me insane.
any thoughts on any of these?
Thanks for your thoughts guys and gals

Go to /username/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ and move the com.apple.windowserver.XXXXXX.plist files to the Desktop, log out and back in, and those items should be displayed. If so, delete the moved plist files.

I cannot homeshare and lost all my music, amongst other issues

Firstly I have a new laptop, and when I tried homesharing it would not let me sync to my new library unless I erased and synced purchases. As a result, I lost most of my music. Also, I have bought a film and a series from the itunes store, but only half the series seems to have downloaded and there is a weird blue dot on the left of half the series and the film, niether the film or series will sync to my ipod, so it appears that I have lost my money if it won't work :\ Any help ?

You said:
I had a song list of 272.
Where were the songs? On iPod
they re-fused to work.
What do you mean by work?
iTunes said it had all my songs,
iTunes on the computer? Had them where?
Had you previously synced from this iTunes library before?
Which method of syncing did you use? Auto or manual?

I would like to know if using a auto charger on my iPhone 6 plus will reduce the battery life or cause any other issues.

i would like to know if using a auto charger on my iPhone 6plus will reduce the battery life or cause any other issues with my phone.

An alternative is to use a 12v USB power plug and then just use the standard lightning cable to connect with a length of your choice ( to some degree)
Same rules apply use a premium manufacturer rather than a cheap no-name from eBay

I just found charges and have a receipt for $10. I did not make this purchase. I'm tired of getting charged from you. whenever I do buy a fame and you have my account infi, I start getting charged for other things I diid not ourchase!

Twist charm swipes not working and other issues

Hi all,
I just got a new Twist a few days ago and am having some issues with it. I got it on line from Staples who have a very limited return policy so I need to get these problems resolved quickly or will have to return it in a few days. I really like it a lot and would hate to return it and deal with the replacement, double charge on my CC until they get the defective Twist and refund the bucks, not to mention the shipping hassles.
I've installed all updates including the Lenovo updates, updated the Bios, did a factory refresh and went through the update process all over again and also calibrated the screen.
So the problems I'm seeing are the swipes from top to close an app, left to view open apps, and right for the charms will intermittently stop working but you can still tap on apps to open them and slide the app screen left \ right.
The other issue is that occasionally the app screen will shrink and expand or open an app without being touched, I would have it on a stand in tablet mode and watch it expand \ contract, and suddenly bring up an app like Remote Desktop. I contacted Lenovo support they said it was a hardware issue and recommended returning it but I'm reluctant to do this and hope there's a solution for it.
I did notice was that moving to portrait mode would usually work to bring back the swipe functionality. Digging into it a bit more, I think I found the root cause, when it is in tablet mode with the keyboard folded back, the keyboard isn’t getting fully disabled, watching it closely I noticed that a cursor would sometimes appear \ disappear momentarily.
Any thoughts or advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!

okay, let's make really sure it is the entire iTunes folder. a typical one looks like this on the inside
the red arrow points to the heart of your iTunes library - the iTunes library file, the iTunes database. you will want to treat this file as the apple of your eye !
anyhoo, if indeed the entire iTunes folder is on the external, simply drag it from there to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the new Mac.
since a folder by the same name is already in that location, the finder will tell you so and ask you if you want to "replace it with the one you're moving". confirm that you want that.
when the copying has finished, fire up iTunes and you should be taken to the exact same library you were used to from your old Mac.
finally, go iTunes > preferences > advanced and check that +iTunes media folder location+ is set correctly - it should point to the iTunes folder on your new Mac's startup disk. if it doesn't, change it accordingly.
please post back with results !

Extreme charging and syncing issues

Okay, so for the past few weeks I've been developing charging and syncing issues. The first third party usb cable worked for a while and after some point it begin to physically wear and tear, and wires were disconnecting. Needed a new charger, so naturally I went and got another one. However, it didn't work, and as a measure to see if it was faulty, I plugged in the old one and smelt smoke/a burn smell.
So, I plugged the new charger into an old ipod touch 2G and it charges and syncs just dandy. The 3GS is a particularly weird case here; as it will not charge while on. After letting it die, I plugged it in and got an empty battery indicator with a charging (lightning) symbol, and after a couple of minutes it powered back on, but still wasn't charging once ios actually booted up. Weird, right? If I could connect to windows I could restore it to remove the jailbreak, as using Erase All Content and Settings keeps the phone in an endless loop until I hard reset.
The kicker here is that it seems to only charge when it's off, as if its plugged in and you slide to power off, and turn it back on later, it will sometimes have a higher percentage. And, at the place I work, we have many iPads so I plugged it up to the iPad chargers and it worked with some of them, albeit slower then expected.
Is my phone not getting enough voltage or something of the nature? I have 3 wall adaptors, one apple, and two of them standard LG adaptors, and a third party usb cable that notably works for the iPod just fine. I've connected it to 3 different computers with itunes and the result was the same as if it was dead and plugged into the wall; enough power to boot to home screen then die afterwards.
The thing that get's me is when I hit Erase All Content and Settings and it's plugged, it makes a charging noise indication but only when I hit that reset button. If it wasn't for that, I would beleive it was a hardware issue. That, or I'm just trying to deny the phone's inevitable fate. I needed a reason to switch to the 4s, so maybe this is it. I don't like giving on on something without fixing it though so it's gonna bother me until I do.
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

IPad Mini 2 goes ballistic when being charged -- in other words, it hangs abruptly ; does not type properly. Moreover, in some instances open apps peculiarly force quit without the screen being touched whatsoever.

Hi, RomeroSalsa.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the responsiveness of your iPad mini while charging. I would need a little more information on how you are charging the device to provide a better answer. While the steps below are not exactly labeled for this issue, they may help resolve the issue.
If the battery doesn’t charge
If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

IRQ Conflicts and some other issues

I have a K7N2 Delta-L mobo with an XP2400+ and an MSI FX5600-VTDR128, the reason for this question is that I have some problems, the first of them is at the system information page of XP:

=================================================
Looking at this it looks pretty bad if you ask me :(
But when I look at device manager I see no conflicts and every device that's listed here does not have any conflicts reported, anyway here are my IRQ (according to System Information)
===========================================
IRQ 0   System timer   OK
IRQ 1   Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard   OK

===========================================
So, my first question is obvious, what's wrong with my system?, am I missing some BIOS setting?, I believe APIC may have something to do, but this isn't the case because it is enabled (at least it says so in BIOS). I have the latest BIOS for this mobo (5.40)
The second issue is something strange that Sisoft Sandra keep telling me: "SMBIOS/DMI information may be inaccurate", an here's what the help says:
=================================
Notice N224 - SMBIOS/DMI information may be inaccurate. This information is reported verbatim and cannot be checked by Sandra. While brand-name companies set this information most generic manufacturers use generic data that is meaningless. This issue generates more technical support queries than all other issues combined.
Fix: If the information is not correct, check for a BIOS update (clear DMI pool) or fix any errors using the DMICFG tool provided with the board. Alternatively, disable Sandra’s DMI/SMBIOS reporting from module Options.
=================================
Is this "normal"???
Anyway, I hope any of you to be able to help me.
Thanks in advice,
Fernando

Although I am unsure as to what is exactly your problem, but from what I see everything seems ok
Regarding the Sisoft Sandra remarks, don't worry about it.
Regarding the Computer in Device Manager
Try changing it to
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
This has not given me any problems at all.

MacBook Pro 13" Unibody "Warped" or "Twisted" + Other Issues

Hello everyone,
Over the past year or so I've saved my pennies and I bought a 13" MacBook Pro Unibody last year (November/December ish, I'll need to check). Since then I've had numerous problems with it, software and hardware, that make me regret the purchase.
Most recently I've noticed that the case is not straight or level. When the computer is sitting on a desk I can "wobble" it between the top left and button right corners. I've noticed this not only at home but at the library and school as well, so it's not the surface. After a bit of searching I see that numerous other people have had this issue with all MacBook Pro models, not just the 13". Does Apple really have this bad of quality and quality control?
I'm contemplating bringing it back to the Apple Store, but (and here's the "other issues" part of it) I'm already a frequent visitor to the Genius Bar! I've been there numerous times to get the lid readjusted and tightened, and only couple weeks ago I was there again to get a broken key put back on! While Apple's support is top notch, I can't believe I paid over $1,000 for a computer who's quality is superseded by much cheaper computers from Dell and HP.
What should my next move be? If I bring it in to the Apple Store's Genius Bar again, what options will I have for repair? Will I be given a completely new model or a refurbished model? In the latter case, will I be able to return the computer for a complete refund so I can take my money elsewhere?

HP Spectre x360 13-4002dx active pen and other issues

Hi, I'm havng issues with my active pen, but wasn't sure if it's an issue with my laptop or stylus (or if it's a software/driver issue). Is there an easy way to tell?Also, I've been using my laptop for a month now, and recently have had other issues, listed below. I wrote them down below in case that could provide some information, and/or if those issues are something I should be concerned about and should try to fix. To begin with, after doing some research, I bought a Synaptic active stylus (the Dell one), which worked very well for the first two weeks until last week. All of a sudden, it started to respond very awkward and randomly, sometimes it's too sensitive and draw lines even when the pen was off the screen, and sometimes it didn't draw anything at all even though I see the small circle following my pen tip. I initially thought it was due to low battery, but it's the same issue after I replaced the battery. Right now, the laptop doesn't respond to pen touching the screen (no clicks, no writings), although the pointer follows the pen. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? How do I know if it's the pen that is faulty or if it's the laptop? Other issues I had or am having:1. Today, I had a BAD_POOL_HEADER error and blue screen of death. After reboot, everything seems to still work, but the login is now much slower. It's very fast to reach to the login screen, but it takes 2-3 minutes to bring up the desktop and other startup applications after I enter my password (I think it used to take less than 10 seconds). I tried rebooting 2-3 times, and it was always the same. 2. The laptop seems to gain heat very easily. With moderate workload (example, some websites with flash advertisements or videos), it can easily go above 70 degrees Celsius on either core (according to CPUID HWMonitor). One time, the system actually failed and forced hibernated due to overheating. (To me, the screen went blank all of a sudden. I turn the laptop back on, and the screen printed a message for a while saying it forced shutdown due to overheating. I realized it was hibernation after I logged in since I see all my windows) 3. On the second day of use of this laptop, the laptop just shutdown for no good reason, and then couldn't boot, saying it cannot find boot image or something like that. I looked up the web and found that it could be a BIOS issue. It said to try reseting the BIOS setting, and then it worked. I also upgraded the BIOS image to the latest after this incident. 4. This is probably more a router issue, but I initially had problems connecting wireless to my router. It was solved after changing my router. For those who are interested, the details is as the following: my old router supported up to 802.11n , but not 802.11ac, That shouldn't matter, but all wireless connections get disconnected once in every several hours if my HP Spectre x360 is trying to use the wireless. However the wired connections stayed ok when this happens, so the router is only "partially" killed. The fact that all wireless connections are getting killed seemed to me that the router didn't like something from my HP laptop. To be fair, I didn't try not using my HP laptop to see if the issue goes away, so it could be a coincidence that the router started to go faulty at the same time I bought and used my HP laptop. Anyways, it seemed it's a router issue, so after replacing the router. the issue went away. Thanks.

Will investigate and let you know what I can find out.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
