IPhone not charging, not recognized by computer

Last night I plugged my iPhone in via its USB cable and the AC adapter and nothing happened... I tried my iPod's cable and AC adapter and it started charging, but when I got up this morning, the battery was still about 25% and not charging. I don't know when it stopped working.
I tried the iPhone dock with the iPhone's cables and AC adapter, the dock with all the USBs on my computer, the USBs without the dock, and nothing. When I plug it in to the computer, a notification pops up that a USB device is found, and then one a few seconds later saying something has malfunctioned with the USB device and that windows does not recognize it. iTunes never opens.
I've restarted the phone and reset it. I have not updated to 2.0.
The phone plays through the inMotion speakers I have (connected via the dock and the "line out" cable), so I think the connector on the phone itself is ok since it's sending music through.... is the cable bad? I'm a little nervous since my battery is so low and I have no way of charging it. There isn't an Apple store anywhere around me so going there is out.
Please help

Had the same problem with my 2G. I fell asleep and left it playing the ipod all night, the next morning my phone was completly dead. That day I charged it for 10 hours, the battery indacator only showed 10%. I thought the battery was a goner. So I turned it off for 2 to 3 hours and when I turned it back on the battery was fully charged. Dont know if this helps you are not but you can try it.
Now I have a question. How can I uninstall an APP?

IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer

My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
-error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
-would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
-person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
-when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
-cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
-when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?

Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say.

My Ipod nano touch is not charging, not showing in my PC or laptop. Last I saw an apple icon and low battery signal. There after the screen is black and no power not taking AC or PC charge. What Can I do?

If the Reset didn't work, you'll need to do a Restore.
From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

IPod not charging, not recognized by computer

Hi, all—
160 GB iPod classic, about a year and a half or two years old, trying to connect to the black Macbook, also about a year and a half or two years old, running Snow Leopard and the most recent version of iTunes.
Never had problems with it before, but turned on the iPod one day to see that it had completely run out of charge at random. Connected it to the computer to try to get it to charge, but after two hours, nothing had changed and was still on the "Charging, Please Wait..." screen. I've tried several times to restart it while it's been attached to the AC adaptor, but that's only resulted in losing any charge it's had. Finally tried to connect it to the computer to restore it this morning, but still on the "Charging, Please Wait..." screen after four or five days straight of being attached to devices to charge it, and isn't recognized by the computer when it finally has enough charge to go to the normal "Connected" screen.
Is there a solution to this, or is it a case where I need to send it back to have its battery replaced?

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like you have already attempted a number of troubleshooting techniques to resolve this issue, but here is the Apple support document related to this issue with a few more techniques to try before opting to have your iPod's battery replaced.
[iPod's battery doesn't charge|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44551]
To be honest, it's sort of odd that it just died suddenly out of nowhere one day. Maybe just give it a few days of rest and then try plugging it again to charge. Many users who have experienced this similar issue have reported that their iPod would come back to life after a couple of days of not charging or anything.
Otherwise, yes, you will need to replace the battery in order to gain full functionality of your iPod again.

Intermittent problems with iphone 3g "charging not supported"

I notice quite a few complaints about intermittent 'charging not supported' messages.
I have been getting the same message on my iphone 3g.
I have ELIMINATED the cord and plug as the problem in this case by the following method:
I found that by LOWERING the line voltage to the charger with a variac, I could get rid of the message RELIABLY for a period of time.
By turning the variac off and on, and by varing the voltage setting, I can reproduceably get either charging or 'charging not supported'.
Since there are no changes being made in the connections to the phone and charger, I eliminate them as causing to the problem.
I suspect a deteriorating component in the charger is reporting some kind of error to the phone via some communications channel.
I have not tried opening the charger, but if and when it finally dies, I will do so.
This morning, the charger worked with the variac set to 80 volts.
Anyone on the design team around that can suggest other tests?
-bz-

The unit finally failed and I opened it up. It appears to consist of an AC-->dc converter with suitable filters and regulators and a small computer that probably talks via I2C or a similar protocol to the iphone.
I suspect that components are defective and the output voltage is outside the range it thinks it should be or some problems with the communications cause it to send an erronious message in response to the query sent by the iphone. I did NOT see any obviously bulging electrolytic capacitors, but I did not test for high ESR and I suspect that is the problem.
A 'off brand' AC Charger of iPod and iPhone from Radio Shack works fine while BOTH authentic APPLE iphone 'tiny cube' chargers are going for recycling.
Software fixes may cause the iphone to either keep trying until it gets the right response or ignore the erronious responses.

IPod will not charge/connect to a computer

To start with my iPod was taking a while to connect to the charger for it to charge, but yesterday it completely stopped connecting to it, it would not connect to any computer or wall socket. I have tried different cables to attempt to charge but they do not work either, so it must be the iPod whch is not responding. At the moment the iPod is completely dead.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

- 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.

AC adapter not charging battery or powering computer

Hello:
The AC adapter is not charging my battery although the LED light becomes orange as if it is charging. In addition, it appears the computer is not recognizing the AC adapter at all. If I remove the battery and try to use the AC adapter, it does not power it (yet, the LED light becomes orange). So far I did three things:
I did PMU resetting but it did not help.
I tried to upgrade the batter (by going to Utilities > PowerBook G4 Battery Updater) but a message saying “Plug a 60W charger to the computer” popped up even though the charger was already plugged in, and the LED’s light was orange.
I transferred my battery to my brother’s Powerbook and plugged the same charger to his computer, it worked fine (it charged it).
My guess is the computer is not recognizing the AC adapter at all.
Help!

I just logged on to ask for help about this problem. I'm not really surprised to see that I'm not alone. I've been having problems with AC Adapters for over half a year. I had to return three of them because after a day or two they stopped working. Then I got fed up (and also a bit embarrassed) and stop returning them and just dealt with the fact that I cannot have a second, functioning AC Adapter. I should add that all these AC Adapters were not original Apple ones - they are from Deer Computer Co. Ltd. About a month ago the one functioning AC Adapter I have started acting up, so I took my laptop to the Apple Service and explained the problem. The guy checked the connection port and he told me everything was ok, he also said that I should buy the original Apple AC Adapter. I was a bit baffled since they sell the ones I purchased themselves. If you go into the store (which is an authorised store that sells exclusively Apple products here in Switzerland: http://dataquest.ch) and ask for an AC Adapter they will automatically give you this (cheaper) version, if you want the original, you have to ask for it specifically. Anyway, today I went and bought an Apple AC Adapter, and - it's not properly loading. It's green, then it flashes green and orange. I've had it plugged in for close to an hour now and it went from 0% to an impressive 9%. I'm getting very frustrated here. I just don't know what to do anymore. I have a feeling that very soon this AC Adapter will cease to function completely, just like the other ones I've had in the past six months. I spent more time, energy and money on AC Adapters than I possibly should have to!

Please help me, Ipod mini is not charging nor recognizing

I connected my mini with my PC,but nothing happened,not charging nor any recognition. Then, all hard working coming....
First of all,i checked my PC has USB2.0 port,(Asus P4P800 deluxe),for make sure about that,i opened device manager to find i have "standard enhanced PCI to USB host controller" present.well then,it seems not my PC's problem.
Secondly, i tried to reset my mini,surely, that's no any response since it's never been charged. For additional carefulness,i waited for above 30 mins as guide book says it may need time to charge the battery at the first time. Actually, i connected it with my PC for 2 hours.. nothing's happened.. really annoying.
Finally,i tired to update itunes to a new version,but no miracle happens,the mini even does show on my resource list....i am revolting now..
I got this one for a little fun, but all it's given are troubles...I spent 2 hours on getting it started already.Thank godness if anyone can help me. Lots of appreciation.

Yeah.....after 4 hours connecting with my PC,it's charging now.......just started 5 mins ago. I am faint,why just told me need to wait a few hours,make me confused and annoyed.
hope not too many problems later.

IPhone 4 no longer recognized by computer after turning off wifi sync

I've been having trouble with my brother's iPhone 4 syncing to our desktop computer. When I realized it was set for wifi sync I turned it off; now the computer won't even recognize the device. I know it's not the usb port because I've pluggen in other devices (GPS and memory sticks) and they all work just fine. The computer makes the sound when something connects when I plug in the iPhone but it doesn't appear anywhere or even register on the phone or the computer that it's plugged in. Can anyone help me out with this?

Did you follow all steps in the article below?

TS1363 iPad 2 not charging, not syncing, stuck at end of updating to iOS 6.1.2 with itunes logo and usb promt.

my ipad wasn't charging with the provided wall charger, I thought maybe I needed to update my iOS to 6.1.2. So I started the update via the settings/general on the ipad itself, at the same time I also started the updates to itunes on my computer (windows vista). The updates (to pc & iPad) are now finished and the ipad is displaying the itunes logo with a USB cable indicating I need to connect to the computer but it isn't connecting, I have followed all of the trouble shooting, and restarted both my device and my pc. Could the charger on the ipad (not the plug as I have tried different sync cords also) be messed up? Before this for the last month my ipad will only charge when it is turned totally off and only at a rate of about 5%/hour! its soooo so sooooo slow! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! I am stuck!

by the way when I say it wasnt charging with the provided charger I mean it wasn't charing. Not even showing "Not Charging" or anything, it just wouldn't do anything, it was like it wasnt plugged in at all.
Is there any way to stop or reverse the update I started? or a different way to connect to itunes rather than with usb, because obviously the plug part of the ipad is shot.

IPod video not charging & not working

My iPod was used moderately between November 2006 and June 2007. Always in Belgium with charging and synchronising correctly (always on the same computer). In July, the iPod was taken to the US and was used there + was charged on a local computer. Return to Belgium, and nothing longer works !! Not able to turn on, not charging either.
I have tried the recommanded actions such as toggle with Hold key and pressing Menu & middle point, but without any luck. Has anybody got an idea what I could try next ??

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try the steps listed here...
iPod Doesn't Charge
Also, does anyone you know have a power adapter or an iPod-speaker system that charges iPods? See if your iPod charges when connected to that.
It may be that the USB port on your computer is low-powered. Try one on the back of your computer.

Creative vision M: not charging, not even through wall socket.

I had my vision M for some time now, but it as not been used for around a year now.
The other day, i wanted to use it, i plug it in the wall, came back a few hours later it had not charged at all.
I could scroll through my music, but the battery was still "red" i let it charge over night, still nothing.
It seems like the battery has died on me for reason or another.
Is there a way to jump startet it, or is it bricked.

Macbook pro not charging, not starting up after 1 month being off

Hi dear friends.
My macbook Pro 13 (2011) was off for 1 month and the power was unplugged.
Now while turning on, it is not charging and not starting up, the screen is white and just apple logo is seen.
It would be pleased if anybody could help or advise.
Thanks a lot.

Are you usre it was "Off" and not in Sleep mode?
If it was in Sleep mode then the battery got completely drained. So as suggested above. Otherwise you will need to take it to an Apple store Genius Bar to be checked out and fixed, whatever that takes.
