My brand new charger broke off inside my iPad air...

ive had my iPad air for two years  now and I've had every iPhone since the second one that came out... but all of a sudden the "high" quality charges that apple are offering obviously aren't of the quality they say. three brand new chargers I've bought in the last two weeks have all broken, one inside my iphone 6 and two inside my iPad... When will this stop? And how much will I have to spend on chargers until it does?  

Theyve never broken before, I've been an apple customer for years now... And I've spoken to friends that the same happens to, but not as often... so I know it can't be my fault... I could understand if I was a kid ramming it into the charging port... But I'm nearly 20 and i don't think I could be more careful. I took all chargers back and stormfront (the franchise that sells Apple products) agreed it shouldn't be happening but said Apple disagreed their chargers were at all "faulty" and so meaningtwo choices I have to just buy new ones... Or sell my devices and see what Samsung have got which I do not want to do...

  • My charger broke off in my iPad mini how do i get it out

    my charger broke off in my ipad mini.. how do i get it out or where can i bring it to fix it

    The tweezers are a good idea. just don't go digging to the point that you may scratch the case. Because, unfortunately, if you do and if you have any issues with the port in the future,  those scratches may be enough to void any warranty coverage.
    A delicate touch is what's needed.

  • Tip power cord broke off inside outlet.

    The very tip of the male end of my power adaptor broke off INSIDE the computer. It is now stuck in the computer's power outlet. How do I get it out without disassembling my powerbook?
    I should add that the outlet is still working and my replacement adaptor charges it, it's just that it doesn't sit comfortably with the other thing still inside it and occasionally it makes a little crackling noise (no sparks, just the noise)
    Also, this is the second time that this happened with an Apple power cord in the space of a year. I am not unduly abusing my power cords, so what am I doing to cause this? Are Apple's power adaptors shoddy or is it me?

    Yes, that will always be a danger.. which is why you use a tiny tiny amount of glue, and let it dry. You'll be able to pull it out, even if it glues to the metal.. as a non-pourous surface, the bond with the super glue won't be very strong.
    Personally, I'd very seriously consider stripping the machine down, following the instructions at http://www.ifixit.com

  • My iPod 4 brand new charger won't show the charging sign and won't connect to a computer. I have went to the Apple Store and bought the charger but it still won't work. What do I do?

    I recently got a brand new charger from my local Apple Store. When I got home and plugged it into my charger on my computer nothing happened. It chargesbut it doesn't show the charging sign or make the sound that says its charging. It takes my iPod touch at least 4-5 hours to fully charge. I would just like some tips on what to do. I have tried resetting my iPod and I've tried just getting a new charger, but nothing works. If anyone knows anything that might help I will very much appreciate it. Thank you

    Not Charge

    - 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.

  • I bought a brand new charger for my iphone 5 less then two months ago and it doesnt work now

    i bought a brand new charger for my iphone 5 less then two months ago and it doesnt work now

    You will have a hard time taking it back.  Most places will claim you stepped on it accidentally and almost nobody will replace accidental damage for free.  2 months is also a long time.  Many places give you 15-30 dys to discover anything wrong and after that it is yours.

  • My charger broke off in my computer....!!!

    So, my MacBook Pro charger broke off and now the magnetic end is stuck in my computer.  I have tried just about everything to pull, pry, you name it but I cannot get it out.  Does anyone have any suggestions or experience here?

    Take it to your nearest Apple Store or AASP. Don't use a crowbar on it.

  • Bought a brand new charger and my MBP still won't charge. Ideas?

    I left my laptop running overnight and the battery died as it does. I plugged my charger in - in the morning MBP Retina wouldn't charge, so I assumed it was because the charger had slightly come apart, as the cable was showing. I decided to buy a brand new charger at an extortionate price, and my laptop still won't charge! Any ideas why this could be? I have reset the SMC by holding down the shift+ctrl+option and power key but to no avail. My warranty just ran out, so I'm stressing out!! Please help. 

    If you don't have AppleCare, then your warranty has expired and you'll just have to buy a new MagSafe power adapter.

  • Clicking magnets inside of iPad Air after using Smart Cover for some time

    I have read that many people experience clicking magnets inside of iPad Air after using Apple Smart Cover for some time.
    I experienced the same thing and returned the device to the shop where i bought it, while still having the warranty.
    They wrote me after 11 days of having my iPad that it is fixed and i can come for it, i was not yet there.
    Please tell me, how can i realize that they warranty serviced my iPad?
    I have read that many people get new device with same issue, and mine just got fixed somehow...
    It is not Apple Store it is Apple Premium Reseller, was their service OK or they just did not wanted to give me new device?
    How can i get to know they were acting correctly?
    Thanks for the answer

    Everything is OK, they gave my whole new iPad Air

  • Transferring my ITunes library from an old Windows 95 workstation to a new WIndows 7 workstation via my IPAD Air 2.  No success.  Is anybody able to help?

    I'm trying to transfer my ITunes library to my new Windows 7 workstation through my IPAD Air 2.  Unable to get them copied.  Please suggest a fix.

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases from your iPad to your new computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases . For non-iTunes purchased content on the iPad you will need a third-party program on your computer to copy them from it, iTunes will only copy iTunes purchases from a device - there are some listed half-way down this page : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    If the two computers are connected to the same wifi network then you could use home sharing in iTunes to copy your library over.
    Or you could use an external drive : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support
    If you will be changed the computer that you sync the iPad to then you may also find this page of use (it was written for iPhones, but most of it applies to iPads as well) : Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • Charger broke off, in the MacBook Pro

       Hello,
    My mom dropped my laptop and the charging piece that goes into the computer broke off IN the computer.   Should I try and use pliers to pull it out, and then buy a new one?  

    You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it fixed.
    Best.

  • A/c power plug broke off inside machine--how to repair

    my daughter's ibook g4 power supply plug broke off, it is inside the socket in the machine--what is the practical way to get this fixed, please?
    thanks--

    Hi there and welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Your question is not unique, as unfortunately some users have experienced
    some mishaps with their DC line-in plug (and socket) and so if you can
    get the broken piece out of the computer's DC-in socket, that would be a
    good thing. Sometimes a visit to a full service Apple Store (official) where
    a Genius bar exists, and you've called ahead for a specified time, a skilled
    person there may be able to figure out how to remove the broken end.
    Of course, a replacement power supply is generally needed, to restore
    the illuminated original plug with an identical part is almost impossible;
    though I have read about people getting a generic plug and managing
    to get the DC polarity correct (so as to not damage the computer.) But
    the best fix would be to get a new replacement Apple power adapter.
    Getting the broken "pin" section of the AC Adapter's DC plug out of
    the computer is the larger concern; since the socket itself may be
    damaged if this isn't done properly. Or it may have been damaged
    by the action that caused the plug to be broken in the first place.
    There are several posts in these Discussion forums, the iBook G4
    and G3 (white) and PowerBook G4 models use a similar power setup;
    so finding replies already posted is not hard.
    In fact, I replied to one such post and so searched back and found
    the URL to a question and replies. Note mine is near the end of this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3126597
    And the quoted text in that post is from one of the links in the post.
    (It is not mine; to clarify what appears to be an edited four letter word.)
    The blue letters in the post are links to outside web sites; I am not
    sure of the total validity of their content and they only serve to show
    someone has tried some ideas and they may have had adequate
    results from them; and that's about as far as I'd go. They're worth a look.
    [Another set of posts (by user name) regarding this question
    and out-of-warranty repair options, etc with the DC-in board
    and power plug damage, among others, would be those by
    an experienced iBook user in these boards, Rhonda.]
    Best of luck to you and happy computing!

  • Why is the message 'Charging is not supported with is accessory' showing up when I plug it in charge :/ it's a brand new phone and brand new charger.

    My phone is brand new and so is the charger and this message is showing up its also showing up on my boyfriends iPhone 3s which is not new :/ can anyone tell me why?

    have you tried a different USB cable? If so and the issue remains, can your iPhone recharge using your boyfriend's charger. The charger might need to be replaced.

  • Bought a brand new sealed MBP off ebay but it has build defects, will Apple replace?

    I recently bought a brand new sealed macbook pro from ebay from a top rated seller for £835 which was a good price considering it is was sealed etc. When I opened the box and took a real close look at the machine I noticed a few serious build faults.....
    1. This is the most serious, when the laptop is closed the left side of the laptop is noticeably bent as if its been molded wrong or something, there are no impact marks whatsoever.
    2. The track pad is supposed to be flush but mine dips slightly on the left side which is evident when you look closely and run your finger around the edge of the track pad.
    3. There are two small scratches on the right side of the macbook.
    4. The bottom plate is also supposed to be completely flush with the case but like the track pad mine is defective, it is flush on the right but not on the left.
    One of the main reasons I went for a mbp is because of the reputation for quality, I bought this laptop from a reputable seller who has a very high feedback score and multiple comments from happy users who bought the same laptop I did, so I definitely know he was not selling faulty stock.
    I rang Apple today and they said that they could not offer me a replacement as I bought it from a third party but they made an appointment at a store for tomorrow...
    My question is .... do these defects fall under poor workmanship from Apple and should I be entitled to a replacement. The laptop was literally brand new and the warranty on it was registered on the 16th april by me on the day I received it..... I emailed the seller who then rang me within 20 minutes and he advised me to take it to an apple store and they will replace it as its not something that can be repaired. Please give me some advice. All advice is welcome.
    Thank you for reading

    First of all, if you would have bought that from Apple, you would have got a replacement right away--no questions asked. I just bought a new MacBook Pro and could have got it cheaper off eBay too, but i didn't want to go though a hassle like you are now.
    Apple will repair it. The only way they will replace it, is if they can't get it fixed after 3 repair attempt. Keep all your case numbers. If for any reason you are not satisfied in the end, call Apple Customer Relations and deal with them--not support. Good luck!
