ipad mini wont boot up, just pings when plugged into charger

Hello lorvic9195,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
You can use the following article to troubleshoot your issue with your iPad not booting. I would suggest looking first at the "Power/Battery" section. The "Battery or charging issues" first and then the "Other issues".

Hello Katie_5SOS
Check out the article below to go through some troubleshooting steps to get your iPhone to show back up in iTunes. It could be related to the Apple Mobile Device driver or could be a third party software conflict.

Ipad does nothing when plugged into charger any suggestions

Is there anything I can do to check system?

Make sure the 30-pin connector is fully seated in the side of the iPad.
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%.

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.

My ipod touch 2nd gen wont turn or do anything when plugged into my computer

my ipod wont turn on or do anything while connected to the computer and ive tried everything from holding down the wake and home button to reseting it and nothing will come up on the screen

- Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to computer and try to restore.
- Next try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ipod frozen and wont reset or come up when plugged into computer

My Ipod randomly froze, and it is stuck in this weird screen with light green, yellow, pink, and white stripes... I've tried holding the top button nothing happened, I've holding the menu button and top button nothing happened, and I've tried plugging it into my computer and it did not register in Itunes. I have had this Ipod for two years and never once have I ever dropped it or gotten it wet. It is a Ipod touch 4th G.

- Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the article again.
- If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Battery instantly drains when plugged into charger

A few days ago I went to plug in my BB at 1/4 full battery and when I did, the screen went blank, but the key pad was still lit up. I tried pulling the battery, but nothing turned on. I left it for a day and then tried it in my car charger, which charged it a little, and made me able to atleast turn it on, but the battery was completly drained. But I took it into my provider anyways and asked them to take a look at it. But as luck would have it, it worked perfectly for them with all 3 types of chargers (wall, car and usb). I brought it home and it charged fine with the wall charger. But today it did the same thing...Does anyone know what could be wrong?

I don't know if it's the battery, the microUSB charge/data port, firmware or electronics ... but my 8220 Pearl Flip is now a BRICK! It's happened before that it dies and fails to light up when the charger or sync cable is plugged in but at some point battery re-insertion would start the charging. Either the Canadian engineers or the Mexican factory workers have messed up badly with this device. If it ever powers up, I'll try removing every app
As an experienced PC technician, I conclude that a BlackBerry Mini External Battery Charger might be the only solution until RIM provides a fix. Get a spare C-M2 battery unless you want to carry the external charger with you and don't mind waiting for it to build up a charge. I've just ordered both on Amazon.
Found these 3 posts: ["I talked to a sales rep at TMobile about this, and she just said, "Well, just keep your phone charged and you won't have that issue." Hmmm, you think? My god, I charge my phone nearly every night, but I also use it a lot for work. If the battery gets low and I'm at work and still need to use it, then what? I've never had a phone where I couldn't just plug it in and keep using it. Very frustrating. Anyway, my question for people who already have the Flip is, does that phone have that issue, or is it possible to plug it in and use it, even if the battery indicates that it's low when you plug it in to charge? I'd hate to buy another phone that doesn't allow that."]
["I just got the 8220 flip two days ago. After charging, the battery lost more than 50% of the charge in less than 12 hours! I was told that this thing only needed to be charged ONCE A WEEK and that if it doesn't hold the charge, it needs to be sent back.... I am thinking that it's not just my flip that's defective, perhaps it's the whole product line."]
["I am having the same issue. About 10 hours of standby time. Even if I turn off all radios including the mobile network the phone is dead by the morning, every morning. This one is going back (I may try another, or just give up on the Flip)."]

Constant bleeping when plugged into charger?

Hi there,
My iPad works fine in use, but I have a problem when I come to charge it. It bleeps the whole time with a message saying that it hasn't been backed up in X weeks, and that updates happen when it is plugged in, locked and connected to wifi. All the time it's doing this it IS plugged in, locked and connected to wifi. It drives me insane and slows down the charging – does anyone know why this happens and what I can do to stop it? I don't even need the wretched thing to be backed up, all my music and contacts data is stored on iCloud thru my iPhone and Macbook, and my user files are all on Dropbox.
Thanks!
-Kitty

PS: it's now barely charging at all because the alerts are using up whatever charge it has. Every time I lock it, it unlocks itself and lights up the screen with the message, and if I power it off it reboots itself again. The software is fully up-to-date.

Phone suddenly 'dies' when plugged into charger

Hi, I have had my Z3C for about a week and I only started noticing this problem in the past 2 days.
When I plug the phone into a charger and turn on the power for the charger, any app which is running will automatically be closed. (Same thing happens when I remove the charging cable)
However, what troubles me most is that sometimes, the phone 'dies'. When I turn on the charger, the display will slowly fade out with black horizontal lines across the screen unitl the whole screen is off. It does not matter what app I'm running or if I'm simply at my lockscreen. (Yes, watching the lockscreen suddenly fade out as the LCD goes off is kind of scary) Any attempt to 'rewake' the phone by pressing the power button will not work. Holding down the power button only results in a brief vibration of the phone.
Only after about a minute, when I press the power button again then am I greeted by my lockscreen. Throughout this whole period the charging LED remains on.
Is there something wrong with my phone or is it a normal occurence?

That doesn't seem normal, you should contact your local Xperia care

My phone will not charge when plugged into charger

Anybody have a solution when your iphone will charge charge

If the iPhone does not charge when connected to your computer either, the problem is with the cable being used or with the iPhone. If when using the power adaptor only, the problem is with the power adaptor.

My MacBook Pro isn't turning on, at first it would only turn on when being plugged in by its charger and continued to stay on 0% and now it won't even turn on even when plugged into charger. What's wrong with it?

Please help

Is this an early 2008 MacBook Pro?
I observed two of these machines work perfectly for several months (different users and workflows) with no issues and with normal shutdown. The next press of the power button is greeted by about 3 - 5 seconds of DVD click, hard disk seek, and then nothing. Different batteries, chargers, and memory chips were used with no machine revival.
As these two machines were fully depreciated employer hardware, they were scrapped, rather than provided to Apple for hardware diagnostic and likely expensive repair.

TS1363 I'm trying to update to newest software, but during proccess, an error accured, now the iphone 4s wont do anything, it only shows plug into itunes. when i do, the device is not recognized by windows or itunes. any ideas?

im trying to update to newest ios version. but during the proccess, an unknown error accured, now the device wont do anything, just shows the plug into itunes screen. the device does not show in windows or itunes. the iphone wont do anything. i tried restarting, it shuts off and back on, but only shows plug into itunes thing. any ideas?

From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes. Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue. To update or not to update? And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista. My workflow dictates 32b fyi. One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126), 5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day. My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12) Windows mounts it just fine. itunes is not having it. no shirt no shoes no service.
I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano. The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad! Weird huh? I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
I'm at a loss on the thinkpad. Scanned for intruders. Cut the Lenovo bloat. Executed system and reg maintenance. Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail. NO NO NO. Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad. Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update. :|
So in summary for me:
5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^ last working version for me = 11.0.1
5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0 but no way in the world am I updating
4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

Iphone 3g not recognized by computer(s). Windows 7. Charges when plugged into wall, but not PC's. Also not listen in Device Manager. I have hard reset/soft. reinstalled itunes after clean wipe. went through services... help! Windows 7

Hello all. My system is Windows 7 64bit. In the past my phone worked just fine, plug it into a usb slot, synced up, updated... but for months now it has not worked. Other Iphones will not work on this PC either with their corresponding cables. But my Iphone will also not work when plugged into other computers.. it will not show up at all.. no charge.. no itunes... no drivers show up in Device Manager. My phone works just fine when plugged into the wall with it's cable.. charges fine everything works.. but it will not charge when plugged into a computer.
So far... I have uninstalled everything related to apple... ran ccleaner.. fixed registry errors. Reboot PC, reinstall all itunes and apple components (all latest software) and nothing.
I have gonet o services and stopped and started apple mobile device. It is set to automatic.
I have hard reset the phone and soft reset it.
The cable obviously works. The Phone works when plugged into the wall.
Other Iphones will not work on my pc, nor will my iphone work on theirs
I have disabled windows firewall along with my Comodo Defense Plus and it's firewall. I have disabled my AV. I have scanned with ad aware plus, Avast, ran hijack this and fixed registry errors. Ran Ccleaner.
My device manager does not have anything related to apple in it.. I have no idea why. My Device Manager has no portable devices detected at all and does not recognize anything related to the phone.
Core 2 duo 6600
2gigs of ram
Windows 7 64 bit
I have checked all the tech support stuff I can find. I am desperate. Apple will not help me on the phone without charging me 30$.

Also.... my phone works and can do everything fine when not plugged in.. I just can't get my computer or others to recognize the darn thing when plugged in!

Low vibration when plugged into a 220v outlet

Has anyone ever experienced a low vibration coming from their macbook pro when plugged into/ charging from a 220v source?

I noticed that, if my MB is charging whilst plugged into a 4-way adaptor plug (along with other things), such as a lamp, my mobile phone and a heated blanket, this causes the mild vibration on my MB case. I then discovered that unplugging the heated blanket from the 4-way adaptor causes the vibration to instantly stop. Leaving the phone charging and the lamp turned on appears to have no effect on the vibration at all.
So, if you're charging/operating other things/devices from the same adaptor (power source) as you're charging your MB from, then try unplugging these and just leaving the MB to charge form this power source on its own... see if that makes any difference.
It stopped the vibration for me anyway.
