IPad shows charging but battery not being charged

My iPad started to have this problem where the battery doesnt charge when plugged in however it does reflect on the iPad that its being charged. Initially I had to insert my lightning cable in different angles until I could get the battery to charge and now that method doesnt work anymore and my iPad is completely dead, not even responding when I plug in my cable. I did drop my iPad once and the charging hole is very very slightly dented and i only got my digitizer fixed. I suspect the internal connection between the charging port and the battery was loose and now completely disconnected. Somebody help me thank you !!

Since you list iOS 6.0.2, I assume you have an iPad Mini. Correct? What version of iTunes are you using?

  • My iPod Classic 120GB is clicking and not turning on. It has been charged but does not hold charge. I am not able to restore factory settings. Error code and have tried troubleshooting options without success. Thoughts?

    My iPod Classic 120GB makes a clicking noise when syncing with iTunes and will not sync. It will not turn on at this time and has been charged but does not hold the charge. After trying to sync, iTunes states that iPod must be restored. Have tried to do this but not successful, I receive an error code and have done the troubleshooting steps for the error and I am still not able to sync or use my iPod. HELP?

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • Iphone 4s shows charging, but will not take charge.

    My phone suddenly stopped taking a charge.  It shows the battery icon as being in a connected state, however, when it is unplugged from the cable, it has not charged at all.  The scenario is the same with a wall charger and a USB charger.  Now, the phone has died and I have no way of turing it back on.  Any thoughts?

    Have you tried another cable?
    This is a good place to start for charging problems -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter  is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.

  • Battery problems. Plugged in, says charging, but is not actually charging

    I have an HP TouchSmart tm2 (have had it for a few years now). Everything works fine (for the most part) except the battery. I have it plugged in but it says "0% available (plugged in, charging)" but it's not actually charging. It's been this way for a few days. I have taken out the battery and then put it back in, but nothing changes.
    I know I am no longer under warranty, and since it works fine while it is plugged in, I am not about to spend a ton of money to have this problem fixed. It started (minorly) when I got the laptop back from HP (completely unrelated issue, while still under warranty) a little over a year ago. It wasn't  big issue so I didn't worry about. It's just annoying now. I am just wondering if the battery needs replaced (and if so, how much is that going to run) or if it is a bigger issue that I will just have to live with because I'm not going to put a lot of money into this computer. I was hoping to be able to use this one at work and my old Dell at home (the Dell doesn't hold charge anymore and the battery costs more than the laptop is worth), since this one was still holding charge at the beginning of the week. Now it won't even charge. I have left it plugged in and off over night and there was no change in the battery percentage... frustrating, kind of makes me want to avoid HP from now on...

  • Battery not being charged-_-

    I connected my ipod with imac to charge the battery, but it doesn't seem to be able to connect because itune status says that there is no ipod connected and the ipod screen looks frozen on a screen which is really weird-_-....
    is my ipod..dead..?-_-;;;

    I suggest first resetting the SMC and see if that helps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964.  The amount of cycles is getting up there though, so it is possible you need a new battery.  Hope this helps

  • I downloaded assassin's creed free app, now my iPad shows installed but do not know where

    How do  I locate the app assassins creed on my iPad even in search it gives responds not found.

    Assuming that it shows as installed in the App Store app, and that it isn't hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps or via an Age Rating, then try a reset and see if it appears after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Hello, 
    I wrote on another tread with same subject about month or two ago and until now, no one replied. I had the same problem. Today, I was at the friend who has HP laptop. We tried to solve the problem and tried it as follows:
    1. My battery in my laptop with my charger - not charging (appears in windows battery charging but all the times it remains at 90 %).
    2. His battery in his laptop with his charger - everything is working fine (this is just for the records)
    3. My laptop, his battery his charger - everything is fine.
    4. His laptop, my battery and his charger - everything is working fine
    5. My laptop, my battery and his charger - everything is OK.
    I didn't try putting my charger in his laptop with his battery inside. But from above, it seams that something is wrong with the charger. Does anyone have some explanation? This is totally weird problem. Is there any logic in the charger that can prevent somehow battery charging? I am waiting another friend to bring his laptop and charger to assure that everything is OK with my motherboard and battery ( after all, charger is the cheapest, isn't it?) Since I'm electrical engineer, i would like to hear some explanation for this problem.

  • HT201412 My iPhone 3 is not seen on iTunes when I connect it. It is also showing low battery but is not even charging and continously showing the Apple logo... What should I do? Thanks in advance, Jahnavi...

    Jahnavi,
    two things to be looked upon in this case. First thing is about the battery. Once the battery has enough charge in it we can try a force restore on the phone to re-install the iOS.
    > Try a hard reset of the phone (Press and hold the HOME button and the Sleep/Wake button until the phone restarts and comes up with Apple logo). After trying this step, try charging the phone and see if the battery holds the charge.
    > Once battery has enough charge in it then we can force it to DFO mode and perform restore. For restore refer to this link.

  • I am unable to tell when the battery is completely charged.  I have showing the battery symbol with the bolt-this is present even when the device is not being charged.  And it is always showing 2% charge.

    Are you using the AC wall charger?
    To check status, I use System Activity Monitor app http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/system-activity-monitor/id306192663?mt=8 and System Status Lite app http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/system-status-lite-device/id407752428?mt=8

  • Why isnt my ipod touch 4g charging? Every time i put it in the charger the screen shows a picture of a battery with a red bar. I know that means it needs charging but my ipod wont charge!!

    Well ,  my ipod fell alot when its with me. Like now it has a broken screen & before the broken screen its been in water. So the thing is , my ipod wont charge! Like everytime i put it in a charger the screen shows a picture of a battery with a red bar then it just disappears! I know that means it needs charging but my ipod wont charge at alll!!! I even tried leaving my ipod in the charger for a whole day and it still wont charge! Can some one please help me???

    Try the not-charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Also, look at the dock connector. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts. foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
    I suspect a hardware problem.

  • IPad Mini 2 goes ballistic when being charged -- in other words, it hangs abruptly ; does not type properly. Moreover, in some instances open apps peculiarly force quit without the screen being touched whatsoever.

    Hi, RomeroSalsa. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the responsiveness of your iPad mini while charging.  I would need a little more information on how you are charging the device to provide a better answer.  While the steps below are not exactly labeled for this issue, they may help resolve the issue.
    If the battery doesn’t charge
    If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
    Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
    If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
    Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
    If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
    If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • My ipod will charge but does not show in itunes or windows

    I tried to use my ipod as a disk to transfer my itunes library from my desktop to my notebook (both Dell), now my ipod charges, but does not show up in itunes or on either of my computers. I have used the advice of going to control panel and unchecking the box under power management but that didn't work, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEE HELP ME?
    I have windows xp on one and vista on the other, if that helps.

    This worked for me, don't know if it will for you. Have ITunes open. While IPod is connected to computer press(at the same time) the menu and center buttons until your screen goes black and shows the apple icon then immediately press the forward button. Your IPod should show up. It won't hurt to try it, even if it doesn't work. Hope this is of some help to you.

    I am out of the country. I turned my cellular data off and connected to wiFi . However, it is still showing that i am connected to a network.  How can i be sure that i am not being charged for roaming?

    Make sure data roaming and cellular data is turned off.  If you don't want to receive calls or SMS then put your phone in airplane mode and reactivate WiFi
