  • I have low battery on my ipad and it still works but it is not fully charging what can i do

    i have a low battery on my ipad it still works but it is not fully charged what can i do to fully charge it

    Clean the charging port.
    Charge using the supplied wall charger, not your computer.
    Try another charger and/or cable.
    If none of these work, you have a hardware problem.

  • My iphone 4s is not responding to anything

    My Iphine is not responding to anything. The apple icon is on the screen but i can't turn it on or off. What should I do?

    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 still a problem, try recovery mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hey Ashtonfr!
    I have an article for you that will help you fully troubleshoot this issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    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 30 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.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • IPhone 4 shuts down on its own all the time. Sometimes restarts without ability to make calls, receive emails, and the wrong time.  Only a restore fixes it.  What can I try?

    So my iPhone had a broken screen and back for a while, which may have something to do with this.  I mean like missing peices.  I realize this leads to corrosion and I may have a broken iPhone but this is a really strange problem.  It's always shutting off on its own, sometimes in my pocket while locked and sometimes randomly while in use.   For example the other day this started happening everytime I started safari.  This happens all the time, I usually just restart it and it works for a while.   Sometimes after shutting off a few times in a row, after restarting it will show the wrong time, screws up phone calls and says that it cannot locate the gmail server, or something to that extent (won't load emails).   The phone calls are weird, I can't receive any.   Any calls that are made from the phone, go through on the other side and ring for them, but won't ring or make a connection on my side, also I can't end the call when this happens, it responds to me pressing end by fading the screen to that graytone color that it does before ending usually but stays on that screen whenever you go back to it, only disappearing after reseting.  Texts work, not in iMessage, and internet seems to work.   The only thing that fixes this condition is a restore. The iphone has been turning itself off over the last 3 months and its been getting progressively worse.  Recently its been pretty bad, and then the phone started to do all that weird stuff I've been talking about.  That started about 3 weeks ago and has happened 4 times, the last two times relatively close together.   This is really annoying and I can't afford to replace it.   Do I have to live with it?   What can I try?  Should I maybe replace the battery?  I took the panel off to look at it and the plastic around it was pitted possibly from being really hot.

    Please don't respond with useless comments.  I've already addressed the fact that my screen was broken a few months ago.  My phone may or may not be broken beyond repair either way, as I said before I can't afford a new phone.  It's a strange problem because from what I can tell no one else has posted the same problem anywhere I can find.  Don't be a dickhole.

  • We are on holiday in Mexico. Our iPad has no problem connecting to the Internet through a subscription WiFi network. But, both of our laptops can not with the same password. What can we try?

    We are on holiday in Mexico. Our iPad2 has no problem connecting to the Internet through our hotel's subscription WiFi network. But, both of our macbookpros can not with the same password. What can we try?
    We can join the network, but can not access the Internet. The password is correct. We have tried network assistant and diagnostics, restarting the laptops, re-joining the network. Our iPhone 4s also works all the time.
    Same location. Signal strength is good.

    Since I couldn't figure out a way to edit our original post, here's another potential clue.
    Our laptops, when in System Preferences>Network, say "WiFi has the self-assigned IP address of XXXXXXXXX and will not be able to connect to the Internet".
    Strangely, my six year old MBP running OS 10.6.8 accessed the Internet straight away, just by opening Safari to my home page. My wife's six month old MBP running OS 10.7.2 could not.

  • What can I try next?  Adobe Reader on Mac not working. Repair installation/"shut down running..."

    I am trying to fill out a form online which will not open and it says that I should install the latest version of Adobe Reader. 
    I have downloaded and tried to install Adobe Reader 9.4 on my Mac Book Pro.  (computer software including Safari have been updated)
    The form still does not appear on the screen, so I tried have been looking into what is wrong with Reader.  One issue is when I select "about Adobe Plug-Ins" it seems that most of them have not been loaded.  i.e. "Acrobat Accessibility"
    Not sure what to do so I selected to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" and this is what comes up:
    "Select the optional components you would like to repair..."
    This is what comes up:
    "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari"
    I select that and then this message appears:
    "Please shut down running applications
    Adobe Reader requires Safari to be closed before it can install or remove the selected components. If you are running Safari, please close the application and then click OK to install selected components or remove unselected components. You may also press Cancel to install the selected components at a later time."
    I have closed all running applications that I can think of and the message will not go away after I press "ok".
    What can I try next?

    I tried this:
    Manually uninstalling a plugin
    If you can't use an uninstaller program to remove a plugin, you can remove it manually:
    In the Location bar, type about:config and press Return.
    The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
    Search for the preference: plugin.expose_full_path.
    Double-click on the plugin.expose_full_path preference in the list to change the value to true.
    ''''''''''' '''''Enter about:plugins into the Location bar to display the About Plugins page.
    Each entry in the About Plugins page will have "File name:" followed by a path. Navigate to the folder shown for the plugin you want to remove.
    Rename the file to something other than its normal name - e.g. npswf32 becomes Xnpswf32''''''''''''''''
    Double-click on the plugin.expose_full_path preference in the list on the about:config page to change the value back to false to avoid exposing the plugin path to websites.
    The plugin will be removed.
    I can't select the file name to change it. It's just a list.

  • HT3199 I have an apple TV 1st generation - it froze downloading a trailer and had to be unplugged.  Since then I cannot access the apple tv menu.  When I run diagnostics it says it is operating properly but will not factory restore.  What can I try?

    have an apple TV 1st generation - it froze downloading a trailer and had to be unplugged.  Since then I cannot access the apple tv menu.  When I run diagnostics it says it is operating properly but will not factory restore.  What can I try?

    Apologies, I was looking at the wrong schematic for the Apple TV 1. There isn't a button. So lets try this instead...
    Remove the power cord and wait 20 seconds.
    Plug it back in and let it boot (Give it 10 minutes, it's being tempremental)
    Try and navigate to the the advanced menu and do a factory restore
    If that doesn't work then if you are using the white remote hold down the menu button for six seconds and release this should bring up a hidden menu which will allow you to access the advanced configuration settings.
    Again, if this fails there isn't much to do than tap it with a hammer to see if that fixes it (hard to believe how many times that actually works. (No responsibility taken if it breaks!, but at least you'd have a good reason to buy Apple TV 3)
