why won"t my ipod 4th generation charge

MBP Battery Troubleshooting: To check for a bad battery, go to Apple/About This Mac/More Info In the System Profiler window, select the Power entry & look for Health Information. If next to Condition it says "Check Battery" then your battery is probably on the fritz.

HT1476 Why won't my battery charge?

I dropped my phone and my battery percentage won't go above 48% . It will however decrease when unplugged. My batter icon says charged. How can I fix this?

My guess is some of the cells in the battery were damaged in the drop. I would make an appointment with a Genius at your local Apple store to have them look at the phone. Let us know how you make out.

Hey guys,

ONLY? it says 1074.    Thats like saying "She was only 107 years old"
Yes, time for a new battery.
I'd understand if it was a really old battery,
It is, use wise.
no system error, your battery is "end of life" and gone to the great beyond.
Make an appt. for battery replacement.

Why won't my ipone charge or turn on?

why won't my ipone charge or turn on?
<Edited By Host>

Lets see, could be:
faulty charger
faulty cable
faulty connector
faulty battery or other iPhone hardware
Without any details at all, it is impossible for anyone to say. You could take it in and let an Apple Genius take a look at it to narrow it down to iPhone hardware or battery.

HT1386 why won't my ipad charge from my computer - my iphone does! and where has my facetime and contacts icons gone?

Why won't my ipad charge from my computer when my iphone does? also where have my facetime and contacts icons gone?

A computer USB port does not provide enough power to charge and run the iPad at the same time but it will charge it if the iPad is turned off. It will take about four times as long to charge than with the iPad charger.
The Contacts icon may be inside a folder, such as Utilities.
There is no Facetime icon. Start a Facetime link from a contact.

Why won't iPhone 4 charge in the car

Why won't iPhone 4 charge in the car anymore? I have changed out the cords several times. It's a Belkin...bought at the apple store...not a cheapo!

Car chargers tend to break down frequently
buy a new one
Strongly recommend buying on eBay a few units at a discounted price

Why won't my ipod charge when i use my new usb

why won't my ipod charge when i use my new usb is used?

A new USB what? Cable? If the old one still works and the new one does not that would point to a bad new cable.

Iphone won't keep battery charge - this is my third iphone!

After a year of no iphone problems, using wifi all the time (no bluetooth) suddenly my phone wouldn't keep its charge. Apple happily replaced it. The replacement phone had even worse problems within a few days, and they replaced that one too. Now my third iphone won't keep a charge. I have bluetooth and wifi turned off, and I don't autocheck my email messages. With no usage, the battery is down 25% 12 hours after a full charge. I feel like the problem must be on my end, but what could it be? This phone has only been synced with my computer once or twice. I have made NO modifications of any kind to the phone or itunes. Please help! Should I try to exchange this one too?!!

Hey you are not alone Nathan I am on my 4th IPhone and the last one they gave me, The apple store never did a Full Restore I found under settings Calltime of 4 days 21 hours and I had just got the phone the day before I called Apple they told ME to do a Full Restore. lol, there has to be a problem with these Phones Batteries are they not suppose to last more than 5 hours before going RED!!! That is the reason for the new 3g IPhone. But we paid $400.00 plus the new ones pay $199.00. omg Now I know for a fact were all of our monies are going.

Why won't my Macbook charge a battery???

I bought a battery on ebay a few months back when I thought I was buying a macbook from another guy with a bad battery macbook. It has sat out for a few months but it only shows having 3 cycles in the "about this mac" page. It was new as of a few months ago, then sat around my desk until trying it on this other macbook.
This macbook that I am currently trying to get working did have a battery with 325 cycles on it. It was not charging according to "about this mac."
When I put the new battery in, the battery icon at the top of the screen has an "X" in the middle.
I just reset the SMC (or I followed the directions on how to do it, I have no idea if it worked or not cause there is no mention of a chime or ding or anything to let you know it was successful).
Any other thoughts?

Was this "ebay" battery an Apple battery or a knock-off?
How can you tell it has 3 cycles if the MacBook won't recognize it (the X in the MenuBar)? If you can see info from System Profiler, copy and paste it here.

TS3274 Why won't my iPad charge when I connect it to my computer?

I just got an iPad and I can charge it with the wall charger it came with, but unlike my iPod touch when I plug it into my computer it won't charge. I'm confused as to why it won't.

The iPad battery requires more power to recharge than the iPod and the USB port on the computer does not supply sufficient power to charge it. Apple recommends that you use the supplied power adapter and plug it into a wall socket.

Why won't my iPhone charge?

This has been a problem for the past day or two...
I was facetiming someone and when I put it on charge it would charge and a few minutes later it won't.
Before I went bed, it took well over 8 hours or so for it to charge, normally it takes like two.
So comes today, I ran out of battery and when I connected it, it wouldn't charge... Well it says it's charging, but it won't switch on and it's stuck on the charging screen... Furthermore, it also says it's charging, but it won't move up... (The charge bar)
I've tried using different cables to charge my phone, but the same problem still occurs.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you.

Are you charging from a wall socket or a PC ?

Why won't my phone charge properly

It will charge to about 10 15% then the little plug icon to show its fully charged pops up instead of the lightening bolt I took it into the store to get it checked and they said there is nothing wrong with it the tech just restored it witch I did at home before taking it into the store to get it checked I was very amazed the he couldn't find anything wrong when I got it home I plugged it in to fully charge the battery and to my amazement it charged ok for a bit then seem to get stuck at 87% for about an hr or so I then unplugged it and plugged it back in to get the plug icon again I then did this several more times and it popped up to say it is fully charged I have ruled out the charger and the cable as I have tried 2 of each . The service tech said that the restore they do in the shop is different than the one we can do at home I am wondering why this is so too and did he tell me something to make me stop asking questions about the phone that he could not answer . If anyone can help it would be a big help thanks heaps

If you are charging with your computer switch to the wall charger. It can supply twice the current.
But the real problem is something on your phone that is using power faster than the charger can replenish it. You need to find what it is and fix it. If you have an MS Exchange email account that is the likely cause. Go into Settings for it and turn off all of the switches, reboot your iPhone and see if the problem is solved. If it is, turn the switches back on.
If that is not the problem go to Settings/General/Background Apps Refresh and turn it off. Then reboot the phone again. If this solves the problem turn it back on, and turn off individual apps until you find the offender

TS3274 Why won't my Ipad charge?

My Ipad is plugged into the wall outlet. but when I plug it into the Ipad itself, it won't charge the Ipad.
I have changed charges several times. Getting very expensive to do this.
What is going on here?

Why won't my ipad charged when plugged into a computer?

I have a new ipad and for some reason it will sync etc when plugged into one of our computers but it won't charge.
My husbands one charges in the same USB port and on any computer but when I put my ipad into the same ports it says "not charging"why?
Thank you

Most computer USB ports don't have enough power to charge an iPad. Typically, the iPad can only be charged with the supplied adapter. If your husband's iPad is actually charging, it's charging very, very slow.
