Ipad isnt charging, please help
I have a first gen Ipad 3G that I just found out is 90 days over warranty. Just this week it stopped holding a charge. I tried three different cables, plugs, into the Macbook pro and into the wall outlet, nothing. So i brought it to an Apple store, they tried to charge it but to no avail. They think the charging dock in the ipad is broken, but Apple doesnt change out parts only replaces the whole product when it comes to tablets, or so I was told. And since Im 90 days over warranty the only help they could give me was to allow me to purchase another 1st Gen Ipad at a reduced rate of $369.00. I don't have that kinda mula right now and since I totally forgot to re-up my warranty coverage in July, I dont really want to be stuck with a $800.00 broken Ipad collecting dust at home. Has anyone had a similar experience and might know of a way to get this "part" changed out at a fraction of the cost to re-buying another. Im not to happy with how Apple treated me, and as a avid Apple product consumer I'm thinking it might be time to look elsewhere. Any advise, technical or otherwise is appreciated as this is a problem that needs to be solved in short order as I weigh my options. Thank you.
If you live in a town large enough to have an Apple Store, you likely have a repair provider in your town. They are not Apple service centers, but usually independed operators who service Apple devices. For example, here in Tampa, FL., we have a store called iHospital. They could service your iPad, so I'd see if you can find an 3rd party service center where you live.

I have follwed every suggested step (twice) to restore my ipad to no avail. It is stuck on the usb icon (yes it is charged), please help.
Did you try restoring using Recovery Mode? Sometimes you have to perform the steps a few times before it works.

If that continues to fail, how about DFU mode?

hello, why is all of my music on my iphone but only a few songs on my itunes on my laptop? it seems like its not updating on my laptop because it still says i have credit and i know i that there isnt any please help thanks
If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ? -

my ipod nano 7th generation....works fine as long as it's on the docking station. when off the station, the display goes dark after a few seconds. it's fully charged. please help. this is the heartbeat of my business. thanks
In the worst case, it's still under warranty (all 7th gen nanos are still under one year from purchase).
So, you disconnect it from power, and it almost immediately goes dead? You can try a Restore... but it doesn't sound like the type of problem a Restore will fix.
You should probably have it looked by Apple Tech Support. If there's an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar. To avoid waiting, you can make a reservation at the store's web page

I would like to keep all my Music and photos on my mac but only top rated music and certain photos on my iPad and iPhone how do i stop iCloud from sending all to iPad and iPhone
please help
Regards
Steve DaveyIf you manually manage the device the you can remove the content from the PC after you have put it on the device. However this isn't the recommended way. At some point you'll probably need to restore it which involves wiping all the data. If you don't have all this data to hand then you'll have to try to recover it from a now problematic device first. It's much easier to sync with your library - yes you have two copies, but that's not a waste, it is prudent. As long as you have two copies you can afford to lose one knowing you have a backup. In practice I keep a complete backup of my library, in addition to the subsets of it that I can put on my devices.

In most countries they will do so for a fee. US$199 for a 4S. It may just need a new battery, which Apple will install for about US$70.

Make sure you are using either OpenDNS or Google Public DNS. It may in fact resolve it, but there could be other factors or causes.

Set the system alert to a completely different LOUD sound, like the train whistle. If the beep persists, it ain't the Mac.
