HT4623 Not Charging msg when plugged into outlet - Connections are secure

Charging equipment functions correctly when connected to iPhone.

Are you using the iPad's charger or the iPhone's charger?
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

HT4060 My ipad2 charged very well via USB until I upgraded to system 7.0.4. Now it displays "not charging: whenever I plug into USB. Any suggestions?

Charge it with the supplied power brick plugged into the wall.
Most USB ports don't put out enough power for the iPad so the best way is plugged into the wall.

Charger Buzzes when plugged into the Adapter Converter

Im in England currently (From the USA) and am using a "DYNEX" converter adapter to switch the electric current down so I can plug in/charge my Macbook Pro and iPad.
It works, however the charger buzzes pretty loudly and gets hot.
Thankfully I brought two, one started smelling like melted plastic and stopped charging altogether. That particular charger has faulted at home before (back in the USA), so I'm not sure if it died because of the converter or because it's just faulty.
I have plugged in the newer charger and it also buzzes, but I'm really worried to keep it plugged in because I don't want it to fault out too.
Is it normal for it to buzz like that when plugged into a converter adapter?
Thanks!

The question again, why are you using a voltage converter? The Apple charegers are all rated for 100-240 volts at 0-60 Hz...you only need a plug adapter to convert the US HEMA plug to the UK two round pin plug.
Adding a voltage converter is adding one more failure point into the system.
I have used mine all over Europe with no issues.

My ipod is absolutely dead when plugged into usb connection or when trying to switch on with on/off button

Ipod is dead when plugged into usb port or when using on/off switch
absolutely no display

Press and hold the power on button and the circle button on the front for about 10-15 seconds - If nothing try to plug in to the usb at the rear of the PC for more power and then try again.
It will work.

My iphone 5 will not charge and will also not be recognised when plugging into my computer

I need help.
I have looked on loads of forums but I seem to have 2 problems merged into one.
The first one is that my phone will not charge, i have tried different USB ports, different plugs (the only thing i havent got round to yet is checking the actual cable). I have clean the phone where the cable goes.
Also when i plug it into the computer, it says the USB is not being recognised and it also doesnt charge my phone.
I didnt update the phone last week when i was notified by itunes - will it have something to do with this. I have the latest version of itunes.
Help

Hello rleighton,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the battery on your iPhone 5. You have taken some really good steps to troubleshoot this issue already. I found an article with a few additional steps you can take.
I recommend the following steps for the issue you described (you can skip any of the steps you have already taken):
Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

Laptop will not charge even when plugged in, stuck at 95%

I have a brand new HP dv6t-7000 which just came in today and after a few hours of use it already has a problem with the battery. The battery refuses to charge even when the AC adapter is plugged into the PC. The tray icon states that the computer is "plugged in, not charging".
The laptop works plugged in without the battery and vice versa (though I am afraid of draining any more of the battery). I have tried the ACPI control method/fixed button uninstall solution, a bios update and every combination of shutting down, removing the battery and the AC adapter and nothing works. The HP support assistant tells me that the battery status is ok.
This was my first HP purchase in more than 8+ years and there's a problem straight out of the box and I'm getting pretty frustrated. Any help is appreciated.

Oh. It seems once the laptop goes below around 90% it will then start charging.

MBP is "Not Charging" but is plugged into the wall..

Hello
I have a 2.2ghz MBP purchased February 2007. I just noticed recently a couple things... First the computer would say "Not charging" even though it is plugged into the wall, the LED on the charger would be green. The screen would also lit up more as if it is plugged in and if I remove the connector, it dims as usual. It would still say that "Not Charging." Another thing is the LED does not lit up sometimes in charging, stays colorless. The charger is great condition, no damages to it. The battery on the computer holds a strong charge in the past. What could be the problem? Hardware or software?
Thanks for viewing! Appreciate any thoughts!
Mark

You could always reset the SMC in case that might be a factor. The green light indicates that the power adaptor is not charging--the amber light indicates that the power adaptor is charging. If the battery is over 95% charged, it won't charge unless the charge drops lower. If you run off of the battery for a while, will the power adaptor be amber when you plug it back in and it starts charging?
As for the LED not lighting up at all when the battery is charging, I have no explanation for that. Possibly the LED itself is burned out or not working properly for some reason. Does the battery still seem to charge normally after it has been discharged a bit?

HT1476 upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and will not charge battery. when plugged in gives message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".

Just Upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and it will not charge the battery anymore.
When I plug it in, it now gives the message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".
Anyone else have this issue after they upgraded the iOS system?
Thanks,

- 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.

Trackpad not working correctly when plugged into AC power

When i am running on battery, the trackpad is great--when plugged in, it is very flakey, not smooth, sometimes freezing up...all in all pretty frustrating!
I have reset the power management unit, but it did not help.
Comments?
thanks in advance,
Les

Hi Lemenos,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Do you have any "hacks" installed your iBook? Try going to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter (next to Settings For:) > Processor Performance > Try faster or reduced and see if one works better. What are you doing when this happens? Do you notice any patterns? You may want to look at Knowledge Base Document #17228 on Portables: Jumpy or Erratic Trackpad Operation and Knowledge Base Document #58389 on Your PowerBook and iBook's trackpad doesn't respond. Is the wall socket grounded? How can you tell if its electrical or static? What does it feel like? Try touching something metal to ground yourself before touching (bed frame) and see if you still get a shock. You should not get an electric shock from the button, if you do stop touching it. Bring it to your local Apple Store/Reseller.

My iphone will no longer charge except when plugged into computer

Iphone will not turn on unless plugged into outlet, and then says activation needed

It worked fine before class, when I left class to check my phone, it wouln't turn on. If I plug it into the wall outlet and it shows the red battery indicating it has no charge, then goes to the apple logo screen for a few minutes before turning on and saying activation required. It was trying to make me go through the steps of activating it. If i unplug it, it will turn back off. It will not power up if I plug it into the computer, and it does not show up as a device on my computer. I have tried holding down the home and power button to reset it, and this does not work. I bought the phone when it first came out, Im trying to avoid taking it the the Apple store because it is 2 hours away.

What troubleshooting have you tried? Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should reboot. If it does not, then you need to try and restore via iTunes. Try connecting the phone to the computer and iTunes and see if it is recognized. If not, you will have to force it into Recovery mode and restore. See this support document for that help. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My iPod does not work properly when plugged into the computer. How to fix?

I have a 4th generation 40 gigabyte iPod, non-color.
Today, I plugged it into my computer to update my playlists.
My iTunes and Windows were lagged down. Eventually, when things caught up, my iTunes didn't show my iPod as being connected. I looked in My Computer, and it didn't say iPod -- it said "Removable Disk". I couldn't disconnect my iPod via Windows, even using the Safely Remove Hardware didn't work.
After looking around here and trying things like Disk Mode and Resetting the iPod, nothing worked. I can't get the iPod to work with the iPod Updater so I can try restoring it.
I dunno really what to do. If it's a hardware problem, then I'm not going to bother to get it repaired, since the music that's currently on it plays perfectly fine still.
I just dunno what else to try.

you basically are stuck. apple won't do crap for you. i went to the apple store today because my second ipod crashed (the first one they replaced) and they won't do anything for me and told me i had to buy a new one (2 in 1 1/2 years is what happened) so they wanted me to buy a third one when their product obviously *****. and the manager even basically admitted that the ipod that they claim is durable and relible isn't. that people go through 3-4 a year. the supposed "apple genius" told me to send it out to a third party repair. he wouldn't even look at it and lectured me for not getting the extended warranty. if you look at the website below and read you'll find that a lot of people got screwed over like me with the extended warranty;
http://www.consumeraffairs.com/computers/apple_ipod.html
put it this way i won't go back to that apple store again or purchase another ipod. ill keep my piece of none working crap

Iphone 4s data will not work + does not show up when plugged into macbook.

I need to try to reset my iphone because it is not allowing me to use data on the phone even though my carrier had verified all the settings are correct and that I have unlimited data on my plan. Every time I try to access the internet on the phone without wifi connected I get an error message saying "could not activate cellular data network" or "you are not subscribed to a cellular data network."
However, when I plug my iphone 4s into my macbook pro it is recognized and shown in itunes, however I cannot download photos (iphoto shows an error message saying "no camera found") and the phone does not show up on my desktop or finder. I find alot of people have a problem with the iphone not showing up AT ALL, but mine works in itunes, just nowhere else on my computer.
I have tried to use icloud to back it up, but when I log onto icloud with my macbook to see what data is there and try to access my photos, only my contacts and a few other apps I dont need show up. No photos at all.

If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked. Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.

HT1339 I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and need to restore to factory settings as want to sell it; however it will not reset and when plugged into my MAC it says firmware corrupt? CAn anyone shed light on what i can do to overcome this issue?

I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and am unable to restore it back to factory settings even when it is connected to my MAC. I have tried the menu/select hold but is not doing anything. When connected to the MAC and select restore in itunes it comes up with 'Firmware Corrupt'. It also states the IPOD is up to date. I have the latest operating system on my MAC and wonder if this may be part of the issue?
Can anyone shed light as to what i can do to reset it back to factory settings as would like to sell it and ensure it is ready for the new owner.
Thanks

Shuffle not being recognised when plugged into USB

I just bought a refurbished first gen Shuffle a few days ago, it worked fine until I tried to plug it in today, nothing happened; no light. I tried wiggling it around a little bit, and the green light came on very quickly, then went off, I tried it on several different USB ports on this computer, and on my PowerMac, same thing on each port, wiggle it a bit and the light comes on, then goes off. I don't see why this is suddenly happening now, the cap hasn't come off since I last plugged it in.
Any ideas?

IF it's an Apple refurb get it replaced at an Apple Store. IF not, and your seller gave a warranty, get the seller to replace it.
