How do I know it is fully charged?

It's charging but how do I know when it is fully charged? Not a quick charge, but a full charge.

The battery charge indicator will change from a lightening symbol to a plug symbol when charge reaches 100%

How do I know battery is fully charged using IOS 7

I dont see any batery fully charged " plug " symbol using my Ios 7 .Is this normal ? When it reaches 100 % the "bolt" symbol is there but no indication is fully charged .This is giving me a doubt whether my phone is fully charged . I tried charging it for extra 2 hours after its 100% charged but still it remain same .

Yes I noticed this myself last night after the update had completed, I'd plugged my phone in to be on the safe side and while ever there is power going to the phone it appears that the lighting symbol will always appear to the right of the battery.
Regarding the charging I came across two methods to do this, but it only works if you're charging/connected to power at the same time. Firstly, check the battery icon itself in the top right, also if you have percentage turned on this should show 100% if not see below. But the best way is to put phone to sleep then press the home key you'll see the current charge listed directly under the time for a short period, but only if you are currently charging/connected to ac power.
If you want to see the percentage then select Settings>General>Usage and scroll down until you come to Battery Percentage flick switch to green to turn on.

I have a new ipod and want to know how to tell if it is fully charged?

I have a new ipod shuffle and want to know how to tell when it is fully charged?

The light would eventually stop blinking and would be a stand-still green if your iPod is fully charged.

I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5c and now it won't turn on and I know it was fully charged any ideas?

Have updated my iPhone 5c to iOS 8 and restored it and now it won't turn on. I have tried plugging it in even though I know it was fully charged, I have shut down my rebooted my computer and iTunes from scratch and reconnected my phone and still nothing, any ideas?

Hello Nikmuz,
It sounds like your screen is either black so it looks like it is not on, or it is just plain not turning on at all and it is also not being recognized in iTunes. I would recommend the followng troubleshooting from this article to help you determine whether that is the case or not, named:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

How long should it take to fully charge my iBook?

Well, I haven't used my iBook's battery in a while since I found I was just putting unneeded charge cycles on the battery. So for the last maybe 3 months it has been used on and off with the AC plunged in at all time.
Today I took it outside to test my new Airport Express (checking the range) and after about 5 minutes I already got the "you are running on reserve power. plug in to ac" message! The battery used to last atelast 45 mins before doing that. The battery only has 279 cycles on it, which I found means it is coming to the end of its life.
However, I figured I might well run a full cycle and use it until it dies so I can charge it ALL the way up again. So like I said after 5 mins of being unplugged it said I was low on battery power. However, it wasn't until 15 - 20 mins later until it actually went to sleep and shut off. I thought that was interesting considering I was using the WiFi heavily and had the screen at 50% brightness.
Anyways, by now the battery had died so I came inside and before I plugged it in, I found that it was still giving power to the two usb ports as my bluetooth adapter light as still flashing, but the computer was so dead it would not turn on. So I left my bluetooth plugged in, and then tried to further kill the battery by plunging in a USB powered fan as well. I was waiting for the fan to shut off meaning the battery was COMPLETELY dead (wanted to do a full cycle like I said) but after 4 or 5 hours of running the fan, it was still going strong!
By then it was time for bed so I unhooked every thing, plugged in the AC charger and shut it down to fully charge overnight. This morning I go to turn it on (i'm back to leaving the AC in) and it would not turn on? I flipped it over and the battery still flashed one dot. The battery never changed. (the adter light was lit up so I know it was getting power.) I un plugged and jiggle it and then it started charging. So once it had enough power to turn on, I did so so I could watch the battery meeter.
*HERE IS THE INTERESTING PART:*
By the time OSX had booted, the battery was charged at 5% which is fine. However 10 mins later I checked it again and it was already up to 60%??!?! I then watched it and the percentage of charge was going up like the seconds of a digital clock. It seemed to be chairing very rapidly? It has now been about 20 to 25 minutes and it is reading 100% full.
Is this possible? I thought it would take at least 2 or 3 hours to full charge an iBook battery that was fully past that dead mark. I find it almost odd that it the battery is full after less then a half hour.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Scott

What happens is that the weaker the battery, the less time it takes it to charge (and run down) because it doesn't take long to reach its lowered maximum capacity.
Although I never worry about my battery and leave my portables plugged in most of the time, that isn't necessarily the best thing for the battery.

How do you know the iPad is charged in iOS 7?

When the charge hits 100% (This option is turned on in my iPad settings), in iOS 7, how can one tell that the battery is charged? I've tried to look for clues but there seems to be none.

100% means your battery is fully charged.

How to tell when iPhone is fully charged?

I'm running version 1.1.2. The battery is green while charging. As charge increases, the green continues to fill the battery. Eventually, it fills the entire battery. Is there some indicator to let you know the iPhone has reached a full charge or once the green fills the entire battery is it charged?

The only thing I do to optimize the battery is let the battery drain untill the phone turns off and chrage it over night leaving it turned off, and I do this about once every other month, never had it turned off for that long afterwards.
Others reported that having it off helped their battery life but mine works according to the usage stats posted by Apple so I do not feel the need to do anything else.

My fully charged iphone4 is dead. Power and home reset doesn't help.What else can I try?

How do you know it's fully charged? Are you sure your adapter is working?
Plug it in to mains power for at least 15 minutes. If it doesn't automatically turn on, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If it still doesn't turn on, it's likely a hardware failure.

My ipod wont turn on and it is fully charged what should i do

what should i do my ipod is not turning on or doing anything and ive had it pluged in all day

If you can't turn it on how do you know it's fully charged?
Did you also tried connecting to the wall plug? (at least 30 minutes)
Did you also try
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

ATT SAYS TO FULLY CHARGE NEW IPHONE 4 BEFORE TURNING ON

OK. but then how do you know it is fully charged?

because AT&T says this:
step 1 - leave new iphone off and charge it fully.
to activate smoothly and quickly, keep your iphone off
turning your iphone on could cause activation problems
if you already turned your iphone on, turn it off.
step 2 - activate new iphone using itunes
Don't believe AT&T. While activating, the USB cable will be connected, so the phone will be getting power from the computer, not the phone's battery. The battery will be charging, not providing power. There is no reason to fully charge it before activation.

HT1476 how do i know if my iphone is charging

just got iphone today. was charged when i purchased it. now it's dead. plugged in to charge, but not able to power up iphone. so how do i know if it's charging?

If the screen doesn't light up with a chargining indicator after 20 minutes (at the most), then there's an issue somewhere. Try plugging the iPhone into iTunes instead, and try a different USB cable if possible.

My battery is fully charged but when I hook it up with a cord to the Aux it says that the battery is low.

I have the iPod classic 30GB and just recently am experiencing problems with the battery. When I connect it to my truck through the cord AUX it will play for maybe 10 minutes and then die out telling me the battery is low needs to be charged. I know that can't be especially since I know it was fully charged before I connected. Is it possible that I just need to get a new battery?

If it's an older 3rd or 4th gen iPod, and not the 5th gen "video" iPod, the battery is not that hard to change yourself, if you are good at such things. This web site has repair guides
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Original
The part can usually found on eBay or other online sources. If you pay for the replacement, the service cost may not be economical.
You can also do the replacement on the 5th gen iPod, but the seam is VERY tight on that model, so opening it up is more difficult.

How can we tell if the iphone is already fully charged in ios7? Even if its 100% the thunderbolt icon is still displayed. Not like in ios 6 that we will know when to unplug the charger because there is an indicator.

How can we tell if the iphone is already fully charged in ios7? Even if its 100% the thunderbolt icon is still displayed. Not like in ios 6 that we will know when to unplug the charger because there is an indicator.

For those who seem unfamiliar with what is being asked:
On iOS 6 and older, just because the phone reached 100%, didn't mean it was Fully Charged. The way you could tell was the lightning bolt symbol that indicated the device was charging would change to an outlet plug when the device was not only 100%, but also stopped accepting further charge. This symbol switch would occur anywhere from 5-15 minutes after the device already was displaying 100%.
Now, on iOS 7, while it still reaches 100% with that same lightning bolt charge symbol, during the 100% point, it never switches to the plug symbol to indicate the charge period is totally finished.
Can anyone confirm if there is a way to see this charge completion in iOS 7 since it appears that there is no longer a symbol for it? Is there any indication that Apple may have changed the charging display so that now it only displays 100% when it would have previously displayed that plug symbol?
