HT1476 Why does my battery not charge?

I started having problems a couple of days ago when I noticed that non apple cables don't charge my phone anymore. But last night I tried to plug my phone to an apple charger and it took or ten times before it started to charge. I had tried about three plugs before one finally worked after many tries.please help because I am not due for an upgrade yet.

Even the apple wires that come with the iPhone are having difficulties to connect all of a sudden. Could this be a software issue, or is my iPhone just done??? If it is it didn't even last two years and I promise it's gonna be the last apple product I buy!!!! I hope apple reads this. Thanx for the reply.

HT1476 why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???

why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???
and why is clock not available on ipad????

Because that is a decision the Apple made. You can get the battery percentage (within 5%) by using a free app such as BatteryLife Lite, but it will not show the percentage on the top of your screen.

Why does my ipod not charge with usb hub in wall outlet?

not charge with usb hub in wall outlet?

Because the hub is not compatible with the iPod.
Just use your computer or purchase a wall charger.

Why is my battery not charging?

Well, my problem... Sunday I noticed that my battery icon was saying "plugged in, not charging". I checked my outlet, my ac adapter, the brick between the two and the port on the laptop. I have G60 235X. I spoke to an HP tech person and they told me it's something in the computer that needs to be fixed, they said it's a "needle" inside. Not sure. I talked to a couple more people and some had me uninstall the battery in device manager and then search for hardware changes. That worked... temporarily. My battery is fine (I did a check). I am not sure what it is. They sent out a box for me to send it to them but it's the wrong kind of box. But I am not convinced it's something internal. I Googled the problem and it seems that many people have it.

Without knowing all the particulars, other little tricks may include resetting (or Zapping) the PRAM or the SMC.
PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.
Be sure to inspect your power adapter too...

Why would new battery not charge?

I have an iPhone 5 with a 1 year history of good behavior. I recently transferred my Sony-manufactured battery (date code=08/2014) to my daughter's iPhone 5 so that she could make an outbound airplane flight with a functioning phone.
There was evidence that daughter's battery had died, not been subjected to a bad or uncertified charger. It would not charge on my known good chargers. Her Lightning port was not full of lint. After I transferred my good battery to her phone, her phone worked fine and she was on her way.
I discarded her suspect battery and installed a new one in my phone. Acquired from a well known supplier of batteries, t was a Sony-manufactured battery with a date code nearly identical to mine. My phone booted up fine and showed 45% cell charge. As the hours passed, the state of charge gauge indicated showed a battery of normal endurance.
However, at the end of the day this new battery will not accept a charge in my phone.
I am using the same known good chargers that I used previously. I am an experienced iPhone disassembler. My Lightning port is not "linted-up". I admit that Apple's fine-pitch PCB connectors are a challenge even for experienced disassemblers but I believe that this battery transplant went OK.
Any ideas?
If I did, in fact, damage the battery connector during transplant, wouldn't the phone have squawked error messages before refusing to charge. There were no error messages or hints that the battery transplant had problems.

So, to clarify, you've opened up the iPhone, and replaced the battery yourself?
Are you an Apple Authorized Service Technician?
Apple doe snot supply batteries to third-parties. Any iPhone battery you acquired is either:
A) Counterfeit
B) Stolen
C) Salvaged from another unit.
Additionally, unless you are an AAST and were using an Apple-supplied battery, your device warranty and support is permanently voided.

Why does Iphone 4s not charge on lock screen

4s will not charge when it goes to lock screen. it will when i keep the phone awake but as soon as it goes to the lock screen it won't.

Even upon turning off notifications for the lock screen, the messages are still appearing.

HT1941 why does it say 'not charging'

So...I am a week away from my warranty expiring and have started to notice an intermittent issue with my MBA. When I attach the charger the light stays very dim and my MBA shows the plug icon but says 'not charging' beside it. What causes this?
I can unplug and reattach the charger and then sometimes it just starts working, other times the same error happens again. The connector is not dirty or dusty.
Any thoughts? Should I go to an Apple store?
Thanks,
Ian

I went to the apple store and there was indeed a problem with my magsafe adapter...they just gave me a new one.
Thanks guys!

Why does my iPhone not charge with the wall charger?

i have recently purchased an iphone 4 (within the last month). it has charged via the wall charger at first but now, the wall charger does not work. it does charge by connecting the USB cable to my computer. is there any way i can get my wall charger working? or will i have to get a new one? thanks.

Try a different wall socket - if you haven't already and/or try this.... reset the iPad
Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. then try again.
You could also try updating your software as I have no idea which version you are running on your iPad.

Why does my battery not last?

I just got my iphone on wednesday. Yesterday and today my battery wouldnt last for more than 10 hrs. I didnt really do anything with it except text during the day at work but it wasn't constant, maybe one or two every 20 min MAXIMUM. and by the time I left work, it was down to 35% roughly. I guess I'm somewhat frustrated that it doesn't last. I know apps can run in the background. I have OS 3.1.3 and I dont know how to end my apps via buttons so I turn it off and back on. I'm not on a wireless network although they are everywhere at work.
Is there a way to see what programs are running? How do I end apps with buttons? Can I do anything to make my battery last longer? Thanks in advance

Why does my iphone4 not charge from the wall when on? But will charge when on and plugged into my laptop? I've tried different wall plugs, charging docks.. Nothing works, not even car charger.. Anyone else having this issue since the update?

My iphone 4 will no longer register my wall charger while on.. It WILL charge if turned off.. OR, if I plug it in to my laptop while on. Tried any different cords and plugs, all the same result.. REALLY REALLY frustrating!!

- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD??

WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD ???

How are you trying to charge it, via a computer or the wall plug ? If a computer, then a lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.
If the wall charger then have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't work then have you tried a different charger and/or cable ? Do you know anybody else with an iPad so that you can try their charger and cable and they can try yours ?

Why is my battery not holding a charged now that I have ios7 on my iPhone 4

Why is my battery not holding a charged now that I have ios7 on my iPhone 4

The same is happening to me on my 4 and 4S... Before the software update my battery used to hold up to 1 day for both 4 and 4S. Now I have to charge twice a day the iPhone 4 and three times a day the 4S. Apple should really fix it... I hope they release a new update for iPhone 4 and 4S users...

Battery not charging when plugged in

I have a Pavillion g6-1d11dx laptop and I have two problems (and I don’t know if they are related). First, I have been having trouble with the battery not charging while it is plugged in to the AC outlet. The battery icon in the systray currently says “40% available (plugged in, not charging)” and the percentage has been consistently going down over many weeks. Most recently, when I unplug it from the AC it no longer goes to battery reserve, it just loses power entirely (and when I plug it back in and turn on the power I get the “system was not shut down properly…” message).
Second, and I don’t know if this is related, but for several weeks the fan has been running, seemingly non-stop, especially overnight. I don’t know if it’s relevant, but I have a scheduled nightly (1 am) definitions update and full scan that usually takes about 2 to 2-1/2 hours. But my wife says no matter when she gets up in the middle of the night, the fan is always running, and the unit has been very hot. My wife has been concerned about a fire (though it's not a model listed in the recall). I downloaded a BIOS update from the HP website hoping that would help. The fan seems to have been running less, but hasn’t stopped entirely.
I wanted to see if I could detect any problems with the battery, so I went through all the suggested troubleshooting protocols listed on the HP website, but ran into a hitch when I tried to use the HP Support Assistant utility on the laptop. When it opens, the Support Assistant displays "An error occurred" (instead of "Support Assistant") in the window's title bar and the system variables ([Product Name], [Serial Number] and [Product Number]) listed in the Support Assistant status bar all say "Loading...", but never do load. When I go to the Maintain mode to check the battery status, it says "No pending action", and, as suggested on the HP website, I click the Refresh button (then, in the pop-up window that appears, I choose the “Check all updates, but install only important updates automatically” radio button, then click OK). But while the result page displays “Pass” on the checks for “Connect to HP servers” and “Preparing the action list”, it displays “Fail” on the checks for “Downloading updates”, “Gathering information” and “Analyzing your system”. Oddly, when I run the system check from te HP website, it DOES auto-detect my system info (Serial Number: 5CG21919LT; Product Number: B7S84UA).
I tried to open the HP Connection Manager utility, but I get the HPConnectionManager.exe fails to load ("Cannot load assembly: CaslShared, Version=3.5.1.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9c6f83d5b7f3d097. The application will now exit.").
Can someone tell me how to properly connect to HP to allow the utilities to do their diagnoses? And/or why my battery isn’t charging and I can’t get a system diagnostic?

I should note that this unit is pretty new: purchased in august 2012.
