IPhone 5 won't start up, shows that it's charging but won't turn on.

I've had my iPhone 5 for a year and a half now and recently the battery has been having issues.
Last night my phone reached 19% and turned off as if it had no charge left at all, and when I tried to plug the phone in to charge, the battery symbol showed up on the screen, but the phone still hadn't turned on. The phone has been left to charge overnight and it still won't turn on, I've tried holding the home and the power button at once for a few seconds but nothing works.

Hold the POWER and HOME buttons until an Apple logo appears. If you have held them for 30 seconds and nothing has happened your phone has a hardware problem, possibly a failed battery. Note that Apple has a recall for certain iPhone 5's for defective batteries. See if yours qualifies: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/

  • My iPhone 5s is plugged in. It does not show that it is charging but gives the alert "ding" sound every 15-16 seconds. Does anybody know what could be the problem?

    It sounds like it starting to charge, then suddenly stops over and over.  This can happen if the cable or adapter is bad or if your charing port has an issue.
    Try using a different cable and/or wall adapter.  If the issue continues, it's probably the iPhone.  If it does not continue, then it's the cable or adapter.  Continue to swap to see what's bad.
    If you don't have another cable or adapter to test will, take your iPhone and your cable/adapter combo to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.  They can help you narrow the issue down and provide service as indicated. https://locate.apple.com/country

  • So i connected my ipod shuffle to my apple computer and the status light on my ipod shuffle shows that it is charging but when i look for it on the pc dock or in itunes it doesn't show it at all.... so what do I do???

    If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer.  Do this to Reset your shuffle

    Start up computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle.
    If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

  • My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it but the only icon is the charging icon with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me?

    My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it because the only icon is the charging icon, the one with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me and give me solutions before I go to an apple service center?

    Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode.  This will be similer to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
    Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
    To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
    First connect you iOS device to you computer.
    Open iTunes if not already open
    Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
    Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
    Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button.  For another 10 seconds.
    Your iOS device should now be on DFU.  Click on restore and iTunes will download the lastest iOS for your device.
    Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a sevice centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)

  • Battery not showing that it is charging

    Hi
    I have a dv6000 on which I have installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. Originally it had Vista Home Premium.
    Recently I purchased a new 12 cell battery to replace the old original 6cell one.
    Now I find that the meter is reading 0% available (plugged in, not charging) or if I remove the battery and reinsert it it then starts to show that it is charging for about 15 seconds then stops showing the battery charging movement but says
    0% available (plugged in, charging)
    Also I cannot turn the notebook off with the battery in. It gets to the blank black screen and then just hangs. If I remove the battery it closes down as is is supposed to. And will restart fine.
    I tried removing the onboard BIOS battery  holding the startbutton for 2mins and that then showed the battery as 100% charged. (I read this on another forum) but after closing down and restarting it's back to the old 0% available (plugged in, charging)
    The little blue LED on the front pannel also shows 0% as it is constantly blinking.
    I have read on other forums that this is a software problem and cannot be solved.
    Others say it requires a BIOS flash. But having Win 7 HP do not offer a flash exe for it . They only go to Vista fror this model anyway.
    Funny thing is I suppect that the baqttery is actually charged up as I can remove the AC lead and the notebook chugs along fine, it's just the shutting down and battery icon thing that's weird
    So does anyone here have any solutions. Or have had similar occurances.
    Regards
    Allan

    If you already have checked the problem is not the battery ( usually when the battery is new or when the battery is charged on another notebook), or the AC to DC converter, then you must check this first:
    1) Remove your battery,
    2) Unplug your power cord from the notebook,
    3) Push the power button for 15 seconds (if necessary you can hold down for 1 minute),
    4) Plug the power cord into the notebook,
    5) If the power led is on, your power adapter is probably working,
    6) Push the power button,
    7) If the computer powers on, your power adapter is probably working ( it's more certain than before),
    8) Try to use the computer,
    9) After Windows finished the entire start up process, you must insert the battery,
    10) It's expected that the battery icon shows charging.
    If it happens to you,  therefore the problem is in the motherboard. The exact point it is in the IC responsible for check and control the status of the battery. Up to know I don't know where is located the fault IC. This fault IC is a Voltage Comparator, usually it is an Operational Amplifier.
    If you remove the powerplug the computer will start to drain the battery until the end, but if you reinsert the powerplug  the computer WILL NOT detect, and it will continue to drain the battery until the end.
    If you remove the battery with the powerplug inserted, the computer will turn off, cause it doesn´t recognize the power source from the cordplug.
    Remove the power plug, insert it again without the battery and the computer must be able to turn on.
    If you turn on the computer, and after this you insert the battery than the computer will start to charge the battery.
    Resume:
    A) To charge the battery you must insert the battery after the computer it is on.
    B) To use the battery power you must disconnect the power cord, but you won't be able to charge it until you turn off the computer  and remove the battery, and to follow the step A.
    I verified that the problem happens to all DV6000 ( DV60xx ), DV6100 ( DV61xx ), DV6200 ( DV62xx ), DV6300 ( DV63xx ), DV6400 ( DV64xx )and DV6500 ( DV65xx ) series.
    My case is a HP Pavilion DV6104eu, that I bought in UK.

  • My Ipod Touch 2G won't connect to My Computer & Itunes but will show that it's charging.

    I've had my Ipod Touch 2G for quite a few years and it's always worked fine up until now. About a week or so ago, I wanted to add a song to my Ipod. So I downloaded the song to my ITunes then connected my Ipod in. Only my Ipod didn't show up. It would normally appear in my Itunes and in My Computer but it's not. The screen on my Ipod shows that it's charging, that's it. I've tried practically everything. I uninstalled Itunes then reinstalled it. I restarted my Ipod countless times. I've gone through the steps on iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows but nothing has worked. I know it can't be the USB port because my flashdrive connects into it just fine. It might be my USB cord, but I'm not sure. I plan to buy a new one asap but can anyone else help me? I plan to get an IPhone 5 very soon and hopefully a new laptop but my music on my Ipod isn't in my Itunes library. Do you see my problem? Please help me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Try another cable as yu siad
    - 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.

  • I can no longer sync music to any of my ipods.  It shows that it is syncing,but it is stuck and won't go past the "syncing to ipod' state

    I can no longer sync music to any of my ipods.  It shows that it is syncing, but it doesn't.  It worked fine a few weeks ago.  Any suggestions?

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • HP Pavilion Entertainment won't start just shows blue screen

    HP Pavilion Entertainment won't start just shows blue screen. Sometimes says missing operating system after changing boot order. I have seen error message 303. This happened after I couldn't stop coolncheap popups so I saved everything to another computer and did a complete restore. When I was in the process of getting it back to working order I allowed updates recommended and optional and then everything started.

    Also pressing F11 won't take me to recovery

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

  • Apple TV won't play TV shows that are fully downloaded in my library.

    Hi,
    My Apple TV won't play TV shows that are fully downloaded in my library.  It says it will take 6 hours to load a 50 minute episode.  It suggests to change the picture resolution, yet this till says it will take hours to uplaod.  Is anyone else having this problem, and how do I fix it?  I only bought the thing last week, and really feel ripped off.  Thanks in advance.

    Well, if the size of my iPhoto library is the problem, I would have hoped that Apple would have mentioned that when we were on the phone for two hours. But yes, that is a possibility. I have about 260 events containing about 26,000 photos.
    I agree, they should now what kind of limitations might apply.
    Again, the issue may not be iPhoto per se, but something in iTunes or the interface between the two that just struggles above a certain number of files.
    I was able to view photos before I upgraded my apple TV to v3 software but it was not reliable. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. And it was always slow.
    There were occasional posts about people with slow performance on AppleTV who had huge music libraries - not in terms of storage size, just overall numbers of songs/albums etc.
    AppleTV is not a particularly high spec device compared to any modern computer so long lists of music files or photos/events might overload it. Trouble is here, itunes is just flat refusing to recognise your photos to even attempt to stream them.

  • My Iphone 4 won't charge. I began noticing it yesterday but I ignored it. Now the phone is dead. I've had it plugged up to my computer all day and it says that it is charging but hasn't cut on yet. I've used many different chargers and none of them work.

    If the same when using the included power adaptor, there may be a hardware problem with the battery. Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
