IPhoe4 appears dead after plugging into laptop

After I plugged my iPhone4 to my laptop (XP), it did not start charging. The screen looks dead and I cannot power on/off. However when I call my number from another line, it rings! I have been using my iPhone to charge from laptop, wall socket for 3 months now.
Before I plugged into the laptop, the charge on the ipHone was showing at 49% - so there is some bit of battery still left in there.

First plug your mini on an USB-Power adapter NO PC!!
Than normally it will start, load the mini's battery for a while.
Than instal the latest version of itunes on your pc.
Open itunes than plug your mini in...
And it normally shows up.. Restore and done!
When it doesn't work the mini has a wrong format! That happens when you restored it on a mac!!!
Maybe you've done that. Than plug it into a mac open Disc-Utility than change the format to FAT.
Than again in your windows and will it work...
Ask again when it won't or you does'nt understand

Maunally restore it. In order to do this:
-Download the iOS 5.1.1 firmware from here http://www.redmondpie.com/download-5.1.1-ios-for-iphone-4s-4-3gs-ipad-ipod-touch -direct-official-links/
1. After downloading the firmware from the given link, open iTunes and click on your device.
2. Now press SHIFT on your keyboard and while pressing it click on "Restore".
3. A dialog box will appear.
4. Select the firmware you downloaded and click ok.
5. Done!!! Your iPhone will now be restored to 5.1.1 and if you had backed up your iPod before, then you can put all its settings afterwards.

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

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 not 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

HT1349 i pad won't turn on even after plugging into computer?

I pad will not turn on even after plugging into computer and into wall. Any suggestions?

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

My ipod is absolutely dead when plugged into usb connection or when trying to switch on with on/off button

Ipod is dead when plugged into usb port or when using on/off switch
absolutely no display

Press and hold the power on button and the circle button on the front for about 10-15 seconds - If nothing try to plug in to the usb at the rear of the PC for more power and then try again.
It will work.

Is it common that iPhone would make buzzing sound after plugged into a charger?

Hi, I have recently noticed that my iPhone would make buzzing sound through the headphone jack after plugged into a charger. I am not sure if this is common among other iPhones.

Yeah it is. Also tried with computer, dock, etc.

MacBook Pro 17" power adapter lights orange when NOT plugged into laptop.

My MacBook Pro power adapter lights up orange even though it is not plugged into a device. When I do plug it into my laptop it remains the same and does not charge. Due to this my laptop is now dead. What does this orange light mean?

You should take both your MBP(Macbook Pro) and your power adapter to an Apple Genius bar or an AASP(Authorized Apple Service Provider) for a free evaluation. This is a strange occurance, and it seems that it may be a hardware malfunction.
Make an appointment so you don't have to wait too long.

This is not a common occurance

IPhone plugged into laptop interferes with Bluetooth mouse

iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.1
iTunes version 10.0.1.22
Laptop is an HP Envy 15 running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Mouse is a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
The mouse works fine when the iPhone is sitting next to the laptop, but not plugged in, so I don't think it's EMI/wireless interference. When I plug in the iPhone to the laptop to charge it or sync it, the mouse begins acting funny. There is momentary interference (for maybe a second about every 5 seconds) where the cursor will stop moving and the buttons on the mouse won't do anything. If I go into iTunes and click on the iPhone under devices, the mouse will sometimes lock up and eventually disconnect (I know it disconnects, because I have my laptop's touchpad set to turn back on after the wireless mouse disconnects).
As far as I know, this only happens with the iPhone plugged into USB. I don't have many other USB devices to try it with. Though, I did try it with just a USB DVD drive plugged in, and the interference did not occur. Once the iPhone was plugged back in, the interference resumed.
I need to be able to charge my work phone when at work, or I will miss important calls. Also, I need the mouse for better maneuverability since I use this computer to design circuit boards (CAD is impossible with a touchpad only).
Any suggestions, other than the usual driver updates/reinstall (I've done that several times already)? Any help is appreciated.
-Tom

I noticed the same kind of interference that you're experiencing on my logitec wireless laser mouse. On top of that, I only experience the lag while my iPhone is plugged in AND while iTunes 10 is open (even though as of right now iTunes isn't even detecting my iPhone) I gave up trying to fix it myself.
All in all iTunes 10 is full of bugs <.<

Loud static in headphones when plugged into laptop

Whenever my headphones are plugged into my laptop, there is a loud static/white noise. It's there all the time, but the sound is fine if on speakers. This problem just started

Restore it from your backup.
No idea what she has running on her laptop, but the iPhone appears just like any other camera. Sounds like something on her machine decided to go ahead and import the photos. They may actually be on her laptop.

My ipod nano keeps coming up with messages when i plug into laptop. i follow instructions but it doesnt work

I found my old iPod nano, I attempted to plug into my laptop but it comes up with loads of messages and doesn't seem to do anything

Hey there hannahc-,
I would recommend trying the iPod Nano 5r's to see if you can get that iPod acting correctly.
Choose the iPod Nano generation you have and follow the instructions for it:

Thumb Drive write protected after plugging into MacBook Pro

So I recently plugged my 64GB thumb drive into my MacBook Pro to transfer music from my old mac to my new one. Although as soon as I plugged into the MacBook Pro, it write protected it rendering it useless as I do not wish to use it as a storage drive for 60 songs! It is not even 1/2 full and because I plugged it into a MacBook Pro I can't use it anymore!? It is formatted to MS-FAT, and previously I had plugged it into my 09 MacBook with no problems! Please help me Make it a read and write again!!! The thumb drive is only a week old!!! There are no virus' as I have had the music on my Mac for 5 years and it has all come from the iTunes store!!!

Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu, open the Disk Utility, and try running the Repair Disk command on it. If that command’s not available or doesn’t work, copy your files off and try getting a replacement.

60gb ipod frozen after plugging into second computer

I plugged my son's 60 gb ipod into my computer, but my computer asked me to erase his sync settings and sync it to my computer.
I said no, the computer failed to recognize the ipod, I shut the computer down and unplugged it.
Now his ipod is frozen, and holding the menu and center buttons does nothing.
When he plugged into his usb port, the ipod made whining noises that also projected through his computer.
I have itunes 7.0.2 (15) on my computer, he has 7.0.1 (7)

Laptop charger indicator blinking in orange color after charger plugged into laptop

Hi,
I am using HP Pavilion G6-2313AX model laptop with Windows 7 OS, i've problem in my laptop after charger plugged in my laptop the battery indicator in OS displaying a message like "Plugged in, not charging " and " Indicator near charger pin blinking in orange color", i tried with another hp charger i am getting same message. Its a new laptop i bought 3months before. please help to resolve this issue.

With the battery removed can you start the notebook and boot into Windows?
That is a critical item to know. That lets you know that your power adapter is OK. A flashing charge led can indicate a faulty battery or voltage below that required to power the notebook.
Run the battery test from the UEFI diagnostics.
Press the power button and then immediately tap the Esc key. Choose F2 for Diagnostics. Choose component tests and then battery. Run the short or long test.
The battery is a warranty replaceable item. If it fails the test, Contact Hp to arrange for a warranty replacement.
