Chirps when charging is this normal

Last night while charging my Ipad it would make a little chirping like beep periodically. I eventually turned down the volume so as not to hear it.
What is the deal.

Yes, it sounds like you were not using a wall outlet and supplied USB charger... the power voltage was fluctuating and causing the chirps on and off...
although "some" powered USB hubs seem to work, they take twice as long to charge and can run into this issue... best option is to charge using wall outlet...yes this is a pain and I've sent feedback...

HT4060 Need to plug adapter few times with no reaction tell finaly it starts charging .is this normal ?

The charging speed is ok but i need to plug the iPad to the included adapter few time with no reaction tell finaly it starts charging .is this normal ?

Hi. I would suggest carefully examining your cable at both ends where the cable connects with the USB Plug and other side where the cable connects to the Apple port. Making sure that there are no breaks in the insulation or any wires showing at all. It just may be an issue of replacing the apple cable, which you can order and easily have shipped to you.
Frayed connections on either ends can happen if someone trips over connected power cable and it gets yanked while still connected to ipad for example.
Another thing may be just simply doing as Diavonex suggested. And trying a different outlet. I would add trying a different outlet that is on a different circuit then the one you are currently using.
Only other possibilities besides a frayed cable, or a bad wall outlet, would be don't plug your adapter into some thin household extension cord with the three outlets on its far end as an extension point.
And possibly check for dirt in the adapter USB port side and corrosion on the adapters electric prongs. Also check your cable connectors for same kind've dirt and corrosion. Especially for gritty type dust that may have gotten into your connection points. Considering that you seem to be experiencing an intermittent power connection, I would really suggest checking and possibly cleaning very gently and carefully your adapters USB port, and your cables USB plug, which is where it seems you are having your connectivity issues.
if you experience this again i suggest just ordering a complete new Apple adapter and a new Apple cable. It is easier then cleaning the ports.
Lastly, How good is the quality of the electricity that your electric company provides? Any other troubles with other appliances or TV's, etc? It's only a tiny and slight chance but if you are experiencing other electrical intermittent problems then it may be remotely possible that the quality of electricity you are receiving from your provider is rather poor and that is responsible for your problems with your adapter.
Hope some of this helps you! Cheers!

My iPad gives off a strange vibration when charging, is this safe?

I charge my iPad 3 almost daily, and when I use it while charging I feel a slight vibration coming from it. I wasn't too concerned until I noticed that if I touch my partner while using it, I can feel the same vibration. Is this normal? It's worrying me!

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Chirping when charger is connected what is it?

iiPad 2 has chirping sound when plugged into charger, and battery charge icon shows AC wall plug symbol. The chirping eventually stops and the iPad charges. Is the wall charger having a problem?

It should only chirp once. If it's doing it a lot then your connection might not be good, you can see if it's not fully seated in your device. Or there could be an issue with your charger.

Why doesn't my iPad2 chirp when charger is connected?

My iPad2 stopped making the chirp sound when plugged in to charge.

Right under the volume rocker switch is a little switch that can be either rotation lock or all mute. Perhaps if you have it muted then it doesn't even give the charging chirp

My iPad went down to 98% battery after 6 mins after being taken off the charger is this normal?

Ya pretty much what the tile says I just wanna know if this is normal

That seems to be a bit too fast if it continues to drain that quickly. That would be 20° drain each hour only giving you 5 hours of battery life. Give it some time before you make any real assessment, the battery indicator can act sort of funky at times. My indicator will stay on 100° for 15 minutes and then start to drain rather quickly until it evens out and gets to where it should be. From that point on, it will reduce at a normal rate.
You can try resetting the iPad. Sometimes that cures hunky little software issues. Sometimes, restarting the iPad can return the gauge to a normal reading.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My macbook air is making a weird squealing noise when charging.

Hi, recently i have noticed that my macbook air has started to make a weird squealing noise when charging. This noise is feint, though it's clearly audible, and is quite annoying when i am using my mac for things like word processing and internet browsing. It only makes this noise when the charger is plugged in, and not when it is running off battery power. Whats also worth noting is that whenever i scroll up or down a page in safari, or chome, the noise changes slightly. Again this only happens when the mba is plugged in.

hi, right now i am using my macbook air off the battery, and everything seems to be running ok. unfortunantly this is my first mac, so i dont have any other chargers lying around that i could test it with. However i shall definately see about taking it to the genius bar. its a bit of a pain, seeing as it's only been ten days since i purchased the **** thing.

Fan speeds go up when charging?

Hello, this is my first time posting here, and my first mac.
I was using my macbook pro 2.2 today while unplugged, then once i plugged it in when it was low, i noticed the fans sped up to about 3500 - 4000 rpm. I looked in the iStat widget and i guess the highest temp was the memory control, it was about 60c.
Is this normal to happen? If so, can someone explain why?

Yes, fan speed can increase when charging. This is simply due to the fact that the act of charging a battery produces heat which can just be enough to ramp up your fans, especially during summer when ambient teemperatures are higher.

My macbook air won't turn on.. last night it was still working properly... when i woke up this morning, i went to turn it on but it didn't respond..i tried plugging the charger and the lightning cord showed a green light which is normal when charging..

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
A green light means that your battery is full or that it can't be detected. If you can't start up the Mac, probably your logic board or battery aren't working.
Take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller to get your battery or logic board replaced. If the MacBook is in warranty, this repair will be free

When I'm listening to the radio or charging it, my i phone gets very hot, is this normal?

Hello, i´ve noted that my IPhone 4 gets really hot (burn the hand) when i´m listening to the radio, or even when it´s charging the battery.
Is this normal??
Thank you guys!!

No, if it's too hot to hold, you may want to have it evaluated by someone at the Apple store. Good luck!

HT201401 When my ifone 4 is charging, I cannot hear text or emails sounds. I do hear call sounds. Is this normal

When my iphone4 is charging, text sounds and email sounds do not work. Only phonecall sounds. Is this normal?
Also when you go into settings, sounds, and what to change the default for texts and email you cannnot hear the sounds if the phone is plugged in.
As an example if i change the text tonne from bloom to bell, it makes a bell sound if it is not plugged in. But if it is plugged in, it makes no sound at all.
This doesn't seem like the way the phone should work.
It has the same problem with email sounds. They do not work when the phone is plugged in.
Call sounds work fine with and without charging.
Help.

Seems like your iPhone is sensing that it is Docked into a Dock system. Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush and see if this fixes it.
