IPhone 4S will not charge. Can see battery icon but does not take charge

iPhone 4S will not charge. Can see battery icon but does not charge

Hello Kbeaty531,
The following article provides some good information and useful troubleshooting steps for situations where your iPhone appears to not be charging.
iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the phone with an iPhone USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the issue persists, try resetting the iPhone while connected to the iPhone charger.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Root Bridge can see NonRoot Bridges but does not Associate

This is a point-to-multipoint bridging LAN for networking eight serial devices (air quality monitors) to a central Windows box for real-time wireless data acquisition. Thus far, I have configured a single Aironet 1310 as the root bridge (RB: 150.100.0.2, 255.255.0.0) at the Windows box (PC: 150.100.0.1, 255.255.0.0) and three Aironet 1310s as non-root bridges (NRB1: 150.100.0.3; NRB2: 150.100.0.4; NRB3: 150.100.0.5). When the system's working, each of the NRBs will connect to an ethernet-to-serial device server with its own IP, and the serial devices will connect to the device servers as COM2-COM9, respectively. Each node in this network has an external antenna, an omni at the RB and directional/Yagi antennae at the NRBs. Distances are short, hundreds of meters, so power will not be the limiting factor. (We could have done this with Zigbee but decided to overdesign for reliability.)
After assigning IP addresses to all four bridges using the command-line interface, and with the RB connected to an ethernet hub/switch, we configured each of the NRBs by connecting them to the same hub/switch and using the browser interface. We used the document at
http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/paws/68087/bridges_pt_to_pt.pdf
and followed it to the letter to configure first the RB, then the NRBs.
After configuring all four bridges, and while all four were still hard-wired together through the hub/switch, all four bridges showed the proper associations in the "State" column of the web interface under "Association." To test the wireless links we disconnected the three NRBs from the hub/switch by removing the ethernet cables, leaving the RB connected to the hub/switch (naturally) to maintain connection to the host PC. We then refreshed all associations.
On the RB web interface, all three NRBs showed up with the proper IP addresses, but the "State" fields showed "Attempting Association" or something like that rather than "EAP-Associated."
All three NRB web interfaces disappeared because the links were lost. I tried to PING each of the IP addresses using a DOS command, but all three timed out.
So, in short, the RB can "see" all three NRBs and "knows" they're there; but the association does not complete. What are my options for diagnosing the problem?
Thanks in advance...

Chieu Dinh,
For the non-root bridge, is there a way to set the scan? I can see in the log file shows that the scan is starting when I changed from Install to non-root bridge. Once I am on the non-root bridge role, I don't see any more the log for scanning.
I don't know about any command that controls the scanning interval when the bridge is in non-root mode. I also don't think it logs every time it goes into a scan cycle because I think they're pretty close together, maybe at most a few seconds.
My question is "is there some ways that I can initiate the scan on the non-root bridge?
You can shut/no-shut the non-root bridge radio interface. Every time you do this it intiates a new scan immediately.
can I use the "parent" command on the point-to-multipoint environment?
As far as I know, yes. I think the only mode parent doesn't work in is repeater mode. For repeaters, you don't configure a list of parents, you only configure one single MAC peer.
An added thought: if you are having trouble with the bridge link coming up, then there is likely either a signal or a configuration issue (and chasing the scan interval probably won't net you any solutions). I've found that a great way to narrow the troubleshooting is to configure the bridges on the ground at close range (maybe 50-100 feet apart, not right up against each other) to control for signal. Once you have a working configuration and you know for sure that the bridges will come up, then install them in your outdoor locations. Keep in mind that when outdoors, a lot of factors can play into signal claritiy and usability (trees/foliage, distance, LOS/fresnel, earth curvature, weather, noise and interference, etc.). Also, unfortunately for the 1310s, the 2.4GHz space is really congested in most populated areas so they are not a reliable solution unless you're out in the country. Always survey first.

My 13.3" macbook pro will not power up.The battery indicator light does not come on.The Mag safe charging light flickers green and red dimly.I had a cell phone connected to the USB port.

My 13.3" macbook pro will not power up.The battery indicator light does not come on.The Mag safe charging light flickers green and red dimly.I had a cell phone connected to the USB port.

This didn't work for me, so I did a bit of searching and TONS of pages later in google, I found an answer. Here are the steps for people who also were in my situation:
1. Take off bottom case
2. Unplug battery - blurry image here: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/03cC79r5Dx4/0.jpg
3. Press and hold power button for 5 seconds
4. Plug a charger in, and it should start booting up
5. After shutting down again, reconnect the battery and close the case up
6. It works! (hopefully, if you guys had the same situation I did)

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Is there a mobile phone that can sync with ical, but does not require a data plan?

Thanks for the reply. I already have this info, but have spent several hours trying to cross reference with the product descriptions and the different carriers websites. I was hoping there was an easier way.

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4.

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4. When I try it responds that the password is invalid. I have connected my MacBook Pro, iPad and iPod Touch with the same password.

Try putting $ (a dollar sign) in front of the password.

IPhoto 08 is gone...can see the icon but doesn't open. Any suggestions?

I was working on getting my Time Capsule to backup my MacBook and erased everything on there. When I restarted and got the time capsule to work i couldn't open my Iphoto anymore and cannot open any new photos that I download..
If I click on the icon it bounces then stops and nothing happens. When i search my applications folder the iphoto application is not there. When i search the "myname"macbook drive>iPhoto I can see the iphoto app. (doesn't open, crashes immediately), the contents folder (the plug-ins disabled and resources disabled items do not open)
Any help would be appreciated.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
If that doesn't help:
Post the Crash Log.
It's at Home / Library / Logs / Crash-Reporter / iphoto.crash.log
Double click on the file and it will open in the Console. Copy and Paste it in here.

Led Light on MageSafe Charger Does not light;MacBook Air Recognizes it but does not charge

So I've had my MacBook Air (Mid-2011) for over a year now. The reason I am posting this is because I originally had a 40W MagSafe "L" Shape that came with my MacBook Air. Well I accidently spilled Pepsi on it while it was plugged in and you get the gist of that. Well I had bought an 85W "L" Shape adapter and it works perfectly fine, no problems. I've had the 40W stored away for probably 5 months or so and recently got the itch to work on it and try to trouble shoot it. Being an IT student, I get a hunch to just take apart things and try to fix them. But anyway, I've reset the prongs on the L part itself, I've changed the plug in to the 3 prong AC instead of the "Duck Face" thing. I've checked for SMC updates and it told me my MacBook does not need it. Well when I plug in my charger, it is recognized immediately by my MacBook. But on the top where the battery level is, it says "Battery is not Charging" and also says "Power Source: Power Adapter". So I am a little confused as to why it won't charge. I let it dry out when this first happened in some rice but I am not sure that did anything for it. I also have cleaned it, like i said I reset the prongs on the L shaped adapter itself. I haven't on the other hand gone and opened it, just because messing with those adapters and any adapters can lead to you getting shocked regardless. So if anyone has any suggestions let me know, I would like to use this charger as a At home charger or my mobile charger when I go to school. Thanks!

"drying it out" does nothing as per the acid in the soda and sticky corrosive sugar and acid left behind.
Youve gone thru $100 worth of effort in repairing a $60 charger, and plan on more effort.
Either a used charger online would be a cheaper option and better than possibly causing logic board damage to your macbook Air.

HT204291 can see airplay icon but getting error -15000 after I updated to itunes 11.4

Airplay quit working after I updated itunes to v. 11.04. I can see the airplay icon in both the mini-player and home screen. It shows the device in the listings but when I select it I receive unknown error -15000. All was fine until the upgrade. I'm running Windows 7. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Hi Monie35,
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
Verify that your AirPlay-enabled devices have the most up-to-date software or firmware.
Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings ]]> Wi-Fi.
Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are logged on to the same home Wi-Fi network (check the home network names on your devices to confirm).
If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay
Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

I'm trying to download lion, i can see the icon but is says paused and i can't get it to start the download

I'm trying up upgrade to lion, but having issues. Then icon is on the screen but it says paused and I can't get it to start the download

Ah, okay. This is a message that comes up when a developer has developed software for the Mac, but has not registered with Apple. Apple does this to help keep viruses and malware out of your Mac.
To be able to run this, go to System Preferences and the General tap. At the bottom is the option to change this. Select the section "All applications downloaded from:" and change it to Anywhere.
Just be careful what you install after this and only download from reputable sites (like Apple.com).
Hope this helps!

That is the wrong system disc, the Mid 2007 Mac Mini's originally came with Tiger 10.4. You must have been sent the wrong disc, because that gray 10.6 system disc is obviously for a later Mac.
Mac mini (Mid 2007) - Technical Specifications
At this point I'm afraid that your options are very limited.
1. Call Apple, have your serial # handy and ask for a replacement Tiger disc set. Problem is that it wouldn't be of much use, except for maybe running the Apple Hardware Test.
Apple - Support - iMac - Service FAQ
2. Purchase a Retail Snow Leopard Upgrade disc.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
As for the RAM, if 2GB is shown in both Apple / About This Mac and in the Activity Monitor then there is a pretty good chance that's it OK. Of course it is hard to test without the original disc set and in your case may need to be done with a third party RAM checker like Memtest OS X

Dv9000 laptop dvd drive and webcam not found. drive initializes on boot but does not show up.

The DVD/CD-Rom drive will initialize and will read a CD when inserted but it does not show up in the BIOS or in Windows. It's a Lighscribe drive. The webcam was not found either. I recently reloaded this machine for a friend back to the factory setup. Installed all additional software and everything is working but the drive and the camera. Is there any way to actually test these devices for failure? Or is there a patch or a software package I may be missing? It's a dv9000 but it has dv9007 on the bottom. And an AMD processor. If anybody has any ideas I would greatly appreciate the help.

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
It does not show up in either one. The camera or the DVD drive. No X's or error Triangles. I guess they could have gone bad at the same time but that's not likely. It would be one heck of a coiencidence. I am wondering if there is an alternate chipset driver or patch. Maybe a controller driver? The system has dv9000 on the display and dv9700 on the model # tag. I believe 1 is Inter and the other NVidia. But the Factory image installed the NVidia drivers.

Flash audio player not playing in safari (it shows but does not play).

Basically i own an internet radio station and for some reason the web player (flash player) no longer plays in Safari since i upgraded to OS X Lion, was working before but not now, it does show the player it just does not play any audio, however it does work in Google Chrome.. any ideas why its no longer working since installing Lion??

The error is "Internet Explorer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then when I click on the Windows solutions icon, it says:
Adobe Flash Player has stopped working properly.
To troubleshoot this problem, follow these steps:
Click to go online and run the Flash Player uninstaller
In the File Download dialog box, click Run, and then follow the instructions to uninstall flash player. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click to go online and install the Flash Player update
I've done both these things for 2-3 days now. Nothing works.

Just purchased a new PC. I transferred entire library to cloud, my itunes will open, I can see my library but will not play any music or download it to either my devices

I just purchased a new PC. I transferred my entire LIbrary to the Cloud, when I redownloaded my music onto my new PC, the itunes will not play music.

You need to download the music to your computer from icloud or copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

Not sure what you mean by "transferred my entire LIbrary to the Cloud"
