My MacBook Air won't turn on, despite being fully charged, and plugged into the power jack. What should I try?

I double checked the power connection, it's good. The charge light is green, so it should be charged and turn on, right? When I push the power button--nothing no startup sounds, nothing on the screen, keys don't light up. It's completely dead, as if it is powered off. I don't know if this could be having an effect on it...I upgraded to the latest operating system (Yosemite) a couple of days ago. After that, it wouldn't recognized our Epson WIFI printer. The printer was visible as an option under print, but when selected there was a message saying it wasn't connected. Even after going through the steps to add it agaiIn, after printing one document, then trying to print the next, the "printer was not connected" again. I gave up and shut it down for the day. Used it last night without any issues (except for being unable to print.). Now, this morning, nothing.

Try a SMC reset:

My 3rd generation ipod touch shut off but now won't charge and is not recognized by my computer. All it shows is the black screen with the apple logo. It did this once before and after letting it sit for a day it charged. I tried this again but nothing.

My ipod touch 3rd generation shut off when the battery died. When i tried to charge it but it would not charge and it wasn't recognized by my laptop. This happened once before and it charged after sitting for a day. So I tried it again but it didn't work. I don't know if it is still covered, I got it last july as a replacement for one that broke. Help!! Please!!

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 another cable
- 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.

Keep using when fully charged and plugged in?

I was wondering if i can continue to watch netflix while my MBP is fully charged and plugged into AC power. Does this hurt the battery, or should I be okay? Any answers are greatfully accepted!!
Thanks!!

Leaving it plugged in is much better for the battery (as long as it's not overheated) than unplugging it and letting it empty out frequently. I leave mine plugged in for the entire work day, unplugging only to transport it in the morning and evening, and after over a year it still has 97% of its original capacity.
Also, on the Apple laptops that have non-removable batteries, Apple says there is no need for the "completely discharge once a month" calibration procedure. In other words, if you have a newer Apple laptop where the battery can't be removed, those are essentially maintenance-free. You just use it.

My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds- Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but the most up-to-date version

It's just the battery sign - nothing else. I've tried to reboot by holding down both power and home key for 10+ seconds, waiting for the apple logo - but nothing happens. It's plugged into the imac at the moment. I tried to recharge it overnight using the normal charger - but no luck. It went dead during a Skype call with a friend - even though it was powered into the mains - albeit at a low battery level at the time

I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

Woke up to my iPhone 4 being completely blank. I've tried restarting and resetting it as well as charging it and plugging into my computer. Can anyone shed some light as to what may be wrong or how to fix it? Thanks

Hello there, Kyle.Kuz.
The following Knowledge Base article that provides some helpful pointers to help resolve your issue is:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

My iPad wont charge when plugged into a computer, the battery isn't lasting long, and its getting hot when charging

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.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My iPad2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet.

My iPad 2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet. I've tried 12W and 10W original Apple iPad chargers as well as iPhone 4 chargers. It charges (very slowly) when I plug it into my laptop but I've tried every outlet in my house and at work with no success. So I am stumped as to why it won't work in two completely different locations when plugged into the outlet - because it's obviously not the charger, cable or the iPad batter.
I've tried blowing out dust from the port, resetting my iPad (holding down the home and power buttons at the same time) and jiggling the cable.
Note: I am still on iOS 6 so upgrading my OS isn't the issue.
I would appreciate any assistance with this as it's very frustrating!

If it will charge when connected to the computer, but very slowly, typical of a low power USB port, but will not charge with the chargers you have tried, the issue is then most likely with the chargers. However, to be sure, take the iPad and charger and cable to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test them to see where the problem is occuring.

Warning to iPhone users. Do not start the update of the iPhone software using iTunes.
Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

Why won't my ipad charged when plugged into a computer?

I have a new ipad and for some reason it will sync etc when plugged into one of our computers but it won't charge.
My husbands one charges in the same USB port and on any computer but when I put my ipad into the same ports it says "not charging"why?
Thank you

Most computer USB ports don't have enough power to charge an iPad. Typically, the iPad can only be charged with the supplied adapter. If your husband's iPad is actually charging, it's charging very, very slow.
See p. 33-34 of the User Guide.
