IPad battery drained overnight; now it won't charge; what do I do?

My iPad (first issue) drained overnight and now it won't charge. Totally dead.
What shall I do?

Hello Christie,
With it still plugged in, try a hard reset to see if that helps. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may or may not work the first time around, so be sure to try this at least a couple of times.

Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.

From that article
"Portables with built-in batteries"
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

Macbook Pro battery drained and now it won't turn on

I have an early 2012 Macbook Pro. A couple of weeks ago my charger broke and I couldn't get a new one straight away, so the battery drained and it shut off. I don't normally let that happen, but there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it this time. I have a new magsafe charger now and the LED is solid orange as normal, but the macbook still wont turn on even though it's been charging for a good 50 minutes now. It sounded like it was booting up a couple of times and the first time the screen lit up grey and the loading animation (grey bars) showed up, but now it's just black again. I know it's going to take longer than normal to charge after the battery being completely drained for so long, but is it normal for it to take so long or does it sound like it's bolloxed?

Try a SMC reset:

IPad battery drained overnight after downloading iOS7, why?

I downloaded iOS7 on my iPad2 on Thursday 19 September. Everything worked fine after the download. When I opened the iPad on Friday morning, there was no battery life left. Am now charging it up, but don't know what caused this. Any suggestions?

No it doesn't need to be, but if it is on and isn't be used then it will drain the battery, likewise so will these:
Wifi
Celluar data - if applicable to your iPad
Location Services
Also of note is the following Settings>General>Background App Refresh - this is a new feature which can also use up additional battery power.

Battery drain overnight

iphone 5s, my battery drains overnight when fully or partially charged. Incredibly frustrating! Any solutions?

First, try a reset by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again, in case there are some apps still running in the background. Then take a look at this article to find out if Mail or some other social 3rd party apps are constantly refreshing in the background.

Ipad battery drained and won't turn on

My iPad's battery drained yesterday and it's been charging now with a guaranteed working charger for about 24hrs and still won't turn on, it keeps on turning on for about one second and then draining it's battery... Again, what do i do?

Have you tred resetting it while it is plugged in?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Accidentally put the ipod touch in the washer. I put in a bag of rice but now it won't charge...I can see the battery icon on the screen and was on charge of over 4 hrs...any suggestions?

If/when it is dry
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 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.

Ipad battery drain

ipad battery drains even when sleeping after upgrade to ios 7. I've turned off app refresh and notifications. What else can I do?

I done a few changes on my iPad 4 and battery will not drain much during sleep now:
1) change wallpaper from dynamic to static
2) disable background update
3) done a reset by holding power button and home button together.
Hope above can help.

My ipad used to print to my HP B210 eprinter, now it won't. What's wrong? iPad 1

my ipad used to print to my HP B210 eprinter, now it won't. What's wrong? (iPad 1) Everything is hooked up correctly, am online, and can print fine from my wireless HP laptop. The iPad finds the printer, but after trying to contact it, it says the printer is offline (which is isn't)
This question was solved.

cgtoni,
You have been very thorough, try these steps in sequence:
Unplug the power cord from the printer.
Unplug the power cord from the router.
Turn Bluetooth off on the iPad.
Plug the router in and allow to power up fully.
Plug the printer in and allow to power up fully.
Try to print from the iPad.

HT1476 i-phone3 wont recharge; initially home button wouldn't work. Applied the 'auto-touch button thing' via settings. This worked until I ran out of battery life. Now it won't recharge either via laptop (usually does) or wall switch. Just a blk screen.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

My ipad battery drains much faster after iOS 7 upgrade

my ipad battery drains 4x faster after ios7 upgrade.....how do I fix this?

Dig into your settings. iOS7 defaults a lot of stuff on that you may not need. Such as tons of notifications, background app updates, background app refresh. Turn extra stuff off and see if that helps.

Why doesn't my phone charge? I changed the battery, now it won't charge at all and it's almost dead.. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

I think my battery is fried. It gets really hot sometimes when I charge it now it won't charge at all. It froze up after the last update and I can't use it at all.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still nothing try Reset while on Wall Charger, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on Charger. If still nothing and you decide to Restore you iPhone with iTunes on computer, you may need to use DFU Mode Restore. Here are steps: Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.
