I am on my 3rd Battery and my second Charger

And now today the Charger will not give me A/C power or charge my battery. NOW WHAT?!!!!!!!!!
Do I have to buy another lousy charger from Lenova again?

That would be awesome, if the nearest service area wasn't 4 hours away.... It would cost me just as much in gas to drive down there as it would just to buy a cheap replacement off of ebay...

Did you get a charger with the iPad 3?
Could be the charger or cable. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
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
http://www.macblend.com/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.

My iPod 5th gen touch won't turn on after running out of battery and then being charged for several hours

I was using my ipod touch 5th gen, when it ran out of battery. I wasn't able to charge it all night because the lighting adapter plug broke, and so this battery sign and the lighting charger sign kept popping up telling me to charge it. It ran like that all night and when I woke up it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried plugging it into a few different computers to charge it, and after several hours it still won't turn on. I tried plugging it into my computer with iTunes up, but it still would not charge and my computer would not recognize that it was there. Anyone want to give me some tips?
Thanks

IPhone is overheated, out of battery and isn't charging.

My iphone started overheating yesterday randomly whilst I was texting and after a while the temperature screen tell me to wait for it to calm down came along.
I waited an hour or so and it was fine then continued to charge it. But now my phones out of battery and I've put it in the charger and it goes really hot and says its charging but still hasn't turned on after 4-5 or so hours and looks as if it hasn't made any progress.

When you say, "Forced restart", do you mean holding the Home and Lock button together? If not, try that. If so, then sorry, I can't think of anything else. You might need a trip to an Apple Store/Reseller, or call AppleCare (if you have it).

My MacBook Pro laptop says 'service battery' and doesn't charge very well but my Mac is 5 years old. Is it worth buying a new battery or do you think I should buy a new mac?

Hi guys,
I can only leave my MacBook Pro unplugged for an hour maximum and it never seems to fully charge. It says on the Mac to service battery - which I guess means buy a new battery.
I have had my MacBook for over 5 years now and it does get used probably every day, if not every other. If I brought a new battery would it all work normally again or is it getting old and do I need a new one?
Also, my charger seems to be playing up a bit now as well. It's seems to be temperamental when I plug it in and takes to while to light up and charge. I've attached an image of the battery bit on my laptop as the lead seems to be fine - is this normal?
Thanks in advance guys.

Is there any application(s) that your current Mac cannot run that only a new can? Calculate the cost per year of your current MBP and compare that to the cost of a new battery. Spread the battery cost over a year or two of additional operation, how do the dollar amounts compare? If the MBP is functioning properly, I generally find it is more cost effective to keep it.
If the retina display and the SSD storage are very desirable from your perspective, then that becomes a different matter. You are the one to make the final decision.
Ciao.

What happends when there is an "x" showing in the battery and is not charging when the charger is connected?

on the top right hand corner where the date and time and sound and wifi and battery symbols are, i have my battery symbole set up to show me how much battery life i have by how full the battery icon is, but how instead there is a little "x" icon int the battery symbol and i can only use my mac when the charger is connected, but it still says it isnt charging........***

I have the same problem.. X icon.. Battery indicator LEDs are not showing anything.. we might think battery is bad.. but while booting with AC adapter.. if I remove the plug.. it boots and work with battery fine.. but if I reconnect the AC adapter it goes to sleep mode or maybe just LCD shuts off.. I'm sure of it.. im suing mid 2009 version and I'm gettin a 3 1/2 hrs backup until yesterday.. I was replacing corsair RAM 8 GB one and for the battery connecter.. I use flat screw driver to lift it.. saw a tiny spark then.. thinking thats the cause of all this.. physically everything is fine.. except I need AC adapter to start the laptop.. I wonder if we'll get the exact reason of this anytime..
By the way tried everything.. SMC, NRAM.. those things etc.. nothing solves.. just learnt living with it..

My 15inch retina MacBook Pro ran out of battery and even after charging it. It can't seem to turn on. Anyone knows a quick way to fix this?

I was working on my MacBook when it suddenly shut down. I realised that I forgot to charge it. However after charging it for a few minutes of charging and several attempts at holding the power button down. It doesn't seem to turn on.

Keep it charging for several hours.

Please can anyone tell me how to stop my 4s iPhone running down on the battery (despite fitting a brand new battery) and not holding charge for more than half a day - will the new update cure this problem?

My iPhone 4s will not hold a battery charge longer than half a day even if charged all night. I am now updating to 8.1.3 - does anyone know if this will make any difference?

Thank you for your help - I had the battery replaced in a phone shop in Bournemouth and think I need to take my phone in and ask them to check the battery but I have to have an operation on Thursday this week and may be a couple of weeks before I get chance to take the phone in - thank you for your helpful advice which I very much appreciate.

My iphone has run out of battery and displys the charging battery when connected. But it doesnt actually charge or is recognised by my mac.

When my phone ran put of battery it went to 1% i charged it all night from a outlet, however in the morning it was still on 1%. So i switched it off to charge, it then said no charge. Then when i try to charge it no charge goes in! Even when plugged into my mac nothing happens, the phone displays the charging battery but the mac doesnt pick up on the phon ebing plugged in. help?!

Clean iPhone charging port with toothbrush. See if better. If not and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, Apple has battery replacement program which costs $80. If you go your own route, consider batter replacement and/or charging port replacement with attached flex cable, both are less than $10 parts.

My ipod touch regularly gets stuck on the apple logo screen and stays there until it runs out of battery, and even during charging. what can i do?

please help!

If the Home button is broken, best thing to do is take it in for repair, or get an estimate. Make a Genius appointment.
