Do I need a new charger?
I have an iBook G4 and my charger isn't charging the battery. When it gets plugged in the LED ring lights up but the pin in the middle of the charger has come off and now it won't charge. Do I need a new one or is it something else? If I do, where do I get one from as I can't find one on Apple website. Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
but the pin in the middle of the charger has come off and now it won't charge.
If by the pin you mean the part that plugs into the computer, you need a new adapter. The pin is what provides power to the computer.
Where do I get one from as I can't find one on Apple website.
Your best bet is eBay. Here is a sampling of what is available here. You may want to check on eBay in the UK.

Do i need a new charger in the UK?
hello
i have just moved from Australia to the UK, and I am wondering if I need a new charger for my PowerBook G4 given that the UK has a different voltage to Australia.
I have the adapter for the power point, but do I need a voltage converter too?
Confused... I went to the Mac store in London but they didn't seem to know!!!! The guy tried to sell me a USB charger for my ipod instead?I've travelled with my powerbook from the US to the UK, Bahrain and New Zealand. It works in all countries without a voltage adapter because they automatically adjust for the different voltages. You may need an adapter for the actual plug in the wall part, but those are cheap and can be got at most electronics stores.

Do i need a new charge adapter after updateing my i phone 3
do i need a new charge adapter after updating my i phone 3.
What do you mean by "updating"? If you mean "updating the software", the answer is no. If you mean buying a newer iPhone, the answer dpends upon which newer model you bought.

In need of new charger for 2009 Macbook Pro
I got my Macbook Pro in the summer of '09, along with a charger cable. Now my charger has finally decided that it no longer wants to work properly, forcing me to maneuver it in all kinds of positions to make the connection happen (I think it got crimped somewhere along the way, and now it takes playing around to find the connection again).
I want to get a new charger, but I don't know which kind to get. The one I currently have has a T-shaped connector; does this mean I need to get one with the same shape, or could I get an L-shaped head? I know that the ones for Macbook air don't fit (my sister has one, and it's wider and narrower than mine), and I have no idea what version of MagSafe I have (writing on the bottom is kind of rubbed off). Any ideas?You should replace it with the same model - 85 watt with T connector. However, it's likley the L shaped one will work as well. This is for a MacBook Pro.
Apple 85W MagSafe Power Adaptor (for 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro).
Apple no longer sells the T-shaped adaptors. However, you can find refurbished replacements elsewhere by searching with Google. -
Macbook Pro not charging; do I need a new Magsafe Charger?
I have an early 2011 13-inch Macbook pro. Recently, I've noticed that my magsafe charger does not charge my laptop. The light turns on (dull green, not bright like it normally is) and the power source is switched to the power adapter, but the adapter does not charge the laptop (see photo). I have tried the following troubleshooting steps to no avail:
1) I cleaned the magsafe port, there was no debris t begin with
2) I reset the SMC
3) I tried different outlets
When I used my roommate's charger (from a much older macbook with the T-shaped connector) , the laptop was able to share up just fine. So my questions is whether I need a new charger or whether I can fix mine somehow?
ThanksDid you also check the magsafe connector of the charger? Possibly one of the pins is stuck. See point 7 on this page: Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters - Apple Support

How do I know if I need a new charger or new battery? When my MacBook Pro is plugged in, it provides power but says (not charging) at the top. I do think my computer is losing charge A LOT faster than it used to. There are also times recently that the computer just goes into sleep mode in the middle of me working on something. Not sure if that's related.... TIA for any help!

I spend good money for my iPhone i have the iPhone 5 with the new charger slot which is smaller. I have been through at least 3 charging cords and this is not acceptable to me. i never had a problem with this on my older phone. apple needs to correct this and reimburse me for this cord.
Charging cords are covered by the iPhone warranty or their own warranty
if puchased separately. Take your iPhone and the cords to your local
Apple store for evaluation and possible replacement. -
Frustrated with my Mac book pro. It's 4 yrs old and I've taken it in 3 times this year for different issues. Just last week they said my Cd Rom has packed it in. As of this week, I can't connect to wifi or get any of my applications to respond. Also won't hold a charge :(. Is it possible I need a new one? I paid 2200.00 for thus one. Seems like it should last longer than that. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

My Apple iPad 3 is less than 6 months old - purchased in March of 2012. I believe it already needs a new battery. It will not hold a charge for very long andvs very slow in starting up a carge when I plug it in. Please advise - it is very annoying.
Take it to Apple Store. You are covered under your 1 year warranty.

By "charger," do you mean a USB power adapter that plugs into the wall outlet (used to "charge" the iPod), or are you asking about the USB docking cable that connect the iPod to the computer?

'm sure your'e going to tell me I just need a new phone but maybe there is hope for my iphone 4. It will not charge past 66% (it's not the charger), it turns off when unplugged, and it will not even let me turn my wi fi to the on possition. Help!
Hi there 8472kck!
I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. That information can be found right here:
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 15 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.
and that information comes from this article:

Macbook shuts down without charger plugged in, does need a new battery or is it something else? thx
My macbook works with the charger plugged in but even when it shows it charged without the charger it shuts down. Does it need a new battery or is it something else. How do i check battery life?
It probably needs a new battery. Check your battery info by clicking the Apple menu and select about this Mac, then either click more info or system report depending on which version of OS X you're running.

I recently had to get a new computer.It required me going from windows xp to 7 I am trying to put it one the new computer but I get following message Windows installer could not be accessed could be in safe mode.How do I get around it? need it to charge my ipod on my computer.
I have used PCs for years, and still do at work. But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself). It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI. I have no experience with Win8. Here are my thoughts:
1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC. But not as much less as some would have you believe. You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display. And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac. For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation. I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap. I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way). You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere. And, it probably isn't cheap.
I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice. But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
So, there you go.
