HT4528 My phone says its charging all the time but wont turn on

My phone says its charging but wont turn I have it plugged in all day long and it just continues to show the low battery on the front! About every 6hours it will turn on for 5 minutes then shut right back off! Idk what's going on please help! All the support things on here want my serial number but obviously I cant get to it since my phone wont turn on!!

Hello Monica121,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the phone will not boot or load up even after being given sufficient time to charge.
I had a couple of recommendations for this issue:
First reset the device with this procedure.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after that, then I would try these steps from the iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting article found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.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.
Cheers,
Sterling

TS1382 why does my ipod classic keep saying its charging and the back of it get hot

why does my ipod classic keep saying its charging and the back of it gets hot

The battery and/or charging circuit may be faulty. Reset the device and try again having let it cool down first.

Ipod is saying it's charged all the time, and won't connect at all to comp

ok, so i have the white ipod nano, the first ones, and it's saying that it's charged all the time. you know the plug sign in the battery at the top of the screen, it's like that permanently!? and the only time when it's not showing it, is when the USB lead and the block charger that goes into the plug sockets is connected to it, which seems completly ridiculous i know, but yeh. and so when i want to connect it to the computer (obviously having to remove the socket block charger from the lead in order to connect to the USB port), it says it's charging again, and the computer doesn't recognise it whatsoever. anyone know how to sort this out, or any techniques to get the computer to connect to the ipod!?
it's really getting on my nerves. i know my ipod is very old haha, but i hate the new ipods and i've been trying to rekindle it's life on many occasions haha
pleease help, and suggestions would be very much appreciated!!

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or maybe this:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Is it ok to keep the MBP charging all the time while in use?

will it shortened the battery life? or on the other hand, its good?
because the life count will be less
because i dont shut down my MBP most of the time, maybe i shut it down twice / week, so i keep it charging all the time, even if it;s not in use

No, as long as you make sure it goes through at least 1 charge cycle a month. this address may clear it up further.

i hope that answers your question

Is it bad for the battery if i leave my nano 5th on the charger all the time?

Is it bad for the battery if i leave my nano 5th on the charger all the time?

No, it's actually what you're supposed to do. To prolong the battery life, try to keep its level high or full as much as you can.
I don't know for sure, but I think the iPod does not draw current from the charging battery but from the charger itself.

Can anyone help: my iphone 4 says no signal all the time

Hey guys,
Can anyone help me? I have done a factory reset on my phone and ever since, my phone will not regester any signal what so ever.
It just says "no signal" all the time. I have tried to reset network settings on it, but that doesnt work. Ive also tried to change carrier as it keeps telling me "your selected mobile network is restricted, you can choose a different network in settings." so ive tried every other network there is, but up until I did a factory reset it was working perfectly well on O2 if anybody could help itd be much appriciated.
Thanks in advance

Marc,
Here's my story. Received iphone 5.... went to verizon and had them turn it on to my account. On to apple store to buy apple care. Put on Zagg sheild cover in the mall. Returned home. Played with phone.. no service. Tried to call myself via house phone.. no luck. No mail box set up. Can't set it up if I cant use the phone. Bummed. Called Verizon. He (David) suggested I return the phone to Apple store. Made an appt at the genius bar for the next day. In the store I had two bars, gal next to me had 4 bars on Iphone 4s with Sprint, Guy across had ATT with 3 bars. Now I had a new phone. New one was great - now had 4 bars in the apple store. Left... went to ZAGG, reinstall cover sheild then to Verizon and had them set it up with my phone number. Worked great while out and about.
Get home -- no service. Bummed again.... I checked the Verizon map and I was on the cusp of G4/G3. My phone was reading -- "o" and flipping to no service. David had told me he would call me back later that day, after I made a swap of my phone. David did call and suggest I get a signal booster. I placed an order for one. It arrived in two days, set it up - easy - and waited for all the lights to turn blue.... WALAA! Called the special number and the phone works great from home.
I get G3 service at home and when I am out LTE service. Funny - the LTE service light comes on right when I am exiting my driveway to the road. But I am glad that I have service from home. David called me again to check on how things worked out. So far I am good with my phone and service.
Signal booster from Verizon was my fix. Hope my story helps someone in the same situation.

I have a Galaxy S3 and love this phone but here at my new home which has absolutely no trees of bushes blocking anything, my phone calls are dropped ALL THE TIME and it's driving me crazy. Verizon finally said that they would come out and boost the signal but haven't seen anyone in two weeks. I have called Verizon tech help for one year to get help with this, either trade phone or something. I am so frustrated! I picked Verizon for the clear calls and coverage inside hospitals and buildings but it's been terrible. I have had three of these phones replaced. I need a different model like the S4 or the S5 I think cause it's something in this model.

Verizon is quickly becoming the worst cell phone company out there. To read all of these pleas from your loyal customers is just so sad and pitiful. You need to be sued for your data overage charges that you are intentionally imploding on your customers. They have pleaded, very intelligently, with you to do something to fix the issue and you willingly have NOT. As is with my reception issue that I was promised a signal booster for two months ago, so is this issue with the data. You don't follow up and solve the issues. Therefore the courts will find you fraudulent. When I was promised by your super tech that I needed a signal booster and he was sending it out overnight at no charge to me, I was relieved that it would finally be taken care of so I wouldn't lose faith with Verizon. Well, that was two months ago now with no record of it ever being ordered or on my file anywhere. I have since called three more times with hours of conversations about that issue and two more techs have told me they were sending me a signal booster with no follow up what so ever. WOW! That's pitiful! You may not care now, oh but you will later when you lose lots of money and business.

Can i use the charger all the time or should i unplug it when the battery is fully charged??

Dear Freinds,
What do you think better for maintaing the battery performance?
keeping it charging all the time or unpluge the charger when it become fully charged, decharge it and then charge it again?

"Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month."
From here > Apple - Batteries - Notebooks

When you said you have no fax machines on your line, that does include computers directly connected to the phone line?
The reason that I ask is a computer with a dial-up modem (a non broadband modem) that can connect to your phone line, can have software that makes the computer act as a fax machine.

Phone makes "morse code" sound when in use, not all the time but quite frequently. The sound does not come from the speakers, infact it comes from the comments inside the phone.

When in use my phone makes a quiet buzzing noise coming not from the speakers but the actual phone. It does not do it all the time but it is quite frequent, my phone is an iPhone 5. Please can you tell me what the problem is?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it evaluated by the techs there. This is not normal and is probably not something that a user can fix.

Okay so my iphone says its connected to the internet but the internet only works for games so i cant use things like facebook twitter or youtube PLZ TELL ME HOW TO FIX THISf

Okay so my iphone says its connected to the internet but the internet only works for games so i cant use things like facebook twitter or youtube PLZ TELL ME HOW TO FIX THISf by the way it an iphone 4s and i have never encountered this problem before my dads iphone is the same after we updated to ios 8.1.1 but my mum hasnt updated yet and hers is fine

If deleting then reinstalling the apps doesn't work, then contact the app developer for support.
It sounds, though, like your internet connection is simply very slow.
Try making a backup, then restoring the iPhone as new, and testing again.

Is it safe to plug in charger all the time ?

my question is that is it safe to plugin charger all the time ? when i am using laptop on charger it is using battrey or the charger power ?
if i use laptop with pluged in is it safe ?
need expert opinions

Yes. It's safe to leave it connected.
That battery should not discharge as long as it's connected to a power source.
If you have not done so, calibrate the battery > Apple Portables: Calibrating your computer's battery for best performance

Its crashing all the time!

I dont know why, but its crashing all the time, no matter what movie i try. Whats going on...

there's a few things you can try. the prefs wont do much because if you are using any "computer plus" or qmaster you will neeed to do the follows to clean compressor.app a bit... so try this..
if compressor can be launched then "stop any sharing" that is active (startup prompt) or use compressor.app menu/Apple qmaster/ "share the computer" and stop any sharing.
quit compressor.app then
remove (delete) the ~/Library/Application Support/Apple Qmaster/ in your HOME directory (if it exists) (use the FInder) or use the rm -rv ~/Library/Application Support/Apple Qmaster unix command in the terminal.app
remove the ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor/ in your HOME directory (if it exists) (use the FInder) or use the rm -rv ~/Library/Application Support/Compressor unix command in the terminal.app. This will certainly remove any presets or destinations you had set in compressor. You could also just move this library
restart compressor.app
set up your prefs etc and destinations for a basic test
do a basic test using "this computer' then "computer plus" then Qmaster cluster if you need.
Compressor.app will recreate these directories.
Most times any errors are logged in the logs that you can get from the console.app or the "share monitor" logs.
Also please take the time to carefully seach these forums, the COW forums and google in general. Many people have isssues like this. Many are simple to fix and in many cases relate to permissions and access not being correct and other access issues.

Try a restore. If that does not work, you probably have a hardware issue.
