If you charge it with your computer and your computer goes to standby it will stop charging. For overnight charging you should use the AC adapter.
That's not entirely true, when I upgraded to Leopard I found the phone continues to charge even after my Powerbook is asleep.

I've just moved from PC to Mac, with my PC i and using Vmware Player I used to work on 2 Virtual M/C both on 2 external drives, one Windows Server 2000 as operating system and the sec. WindowsXP, is their a way to open these m/c on my mac
I am so glad to hear about your success. As you are new to the Mac environment, I will be glad to help you more.
You said: "I can't change the setup yet but i have access". I don't understand what you mean about changing the setup! Please let me know more about that.
I also recommend to use Boot Camp, which allows you to install windows on a partition of your internal hard drive. This has many benefits. First, you can restart your computer and start up in windows. This makes your Mac device a complete windows machine and you gain the most from your hardware when working in Windows. Second, if a problem occures to your Mac OS X, you can restart your machine in Windows and prevent your data from getting lost. Third, you can import the Windows installed on the boot camp partition in to the Mac OS X using VMWare Fusion and work with it as a virtual machine. In this situation, VMWare enables you to work directly with your Windows in the boot camp partition. So it does not create a file package for the virtual machine in OS X.
Regarding the data safety and reliablity, I strongly recommend using Time Machine. You can also set it up to back up your virtual machines or not. This is possible to set up in the Virtual Machine Preferences Page in VMWare Fusion, or in the Time Machine preferences page in the System Preferences app of OS X.
Please don't hesitate to ask any other question. I will be glad to help you. -

My i-Pad won't charge after I downloaded some stuff from i-Tunes. I have tried charging through two computers and using the wall socket,, with different cables. I have turned the i-Pad off & on a couple of times but it still won't charge. Any ideas will be gratefully received.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

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.

My phone won't charge through I tunes or charger
What store did you get it from? All we can tell you is Apple will NOT touch that phone. It is no longer eligible for in or out of warranty service from Apple or any Apple authorized service provider.
Apple does not sell iPhone parts. if you had someone replace the screen, they had to use one that was either:
Counterfeit
Stolen
Salvaged from a damaged or non-functioning iPhone.
There are NO legitimate sources for iPhone parts. -

Phone won't charge, I've tried everything that I could possibly think of.
Okay, currently I'm losing it because my dead phone won't charge. I've been nice to it, it's 3 months old and has lived in an otterbox case for it's whole life. Yesterday I tried to plug it in when it told me I had 15% battery left, it charged to about 30% and then the charger just stopped working. I tried multiple charges from multiple outlets and from my computer and taking the battery out. Nothing is working. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.If you have tried multiple chargers and multiple outlets it sadly leaves only 1 likely conclusion. It is most likely either damaged or defective. The only steps left to take would be to determine whether the issue is with the battery or the phone itself. I strongly reccomend calling in to tech support to help you determine the issue and help you resolve it.

Phone won't charge when shut off
I have a new Blackberry Classic and most of the time the phone won't charge when it's shut off. It's not a problem with the charger, as the phone will charge when it's turned on. Sometimes (not all of the time), I can get it to charge when shut off by turning the phone on and off a few times. It's also not a question of the charging lights not working, as I've left it turned off and plugged in overnight, and the charge will be less in the morning than the night before.
Aside from this, the END CALL button normally turns the phone on and shuts it off (as it did on the Bold) when the phone is unplugged. When the phone is plugged in though, the END CAll button won't turn the phone on.
All of this makes me wonder whether the phone has some underlying power/charging problems that will get worse as the phone gets older.
Does anyone have any suggestions?Thanks for the advice everyone, the software update solved the problem.
QM, even without the software update the phone should charge when it's turned on. Is the battery so dead that the phone can't even be turned on? If that's the case, then I would return it. Otherwise, I would plug the phone in, turn it on, wait for the battery to charge and then do a software update. -
I have gone through 3 chargers now the phone won't charge unless I put a rubber band to hold the wire in. And lay it still
That sounds to me like you have some debris stuck in your charging port on your iPhone. I know that happened to my wife's iPhone a while back and using a clean dry toothpick to get teh debris out solved her problem.
