MY CHARGER WON'T WORK...HELP!?

Hello!
So my really old charger after about 4 years just broke on me about a month ago, so I bought a new one online for a MacBook Pro. Now all of a sudden this new charger doesn't work either. I've only had this one for the past month, not even. I picked up the power source box? (or whatever you want to call it) and when I did it sounded like there is a ball in it moving. Does that mean it's completely broken? I don't want to have to buy ANOTHER new one. It isn't working when it's plugged into multiple outlets, when I connect the plug into my computer no green light comes on/red light saying its charging. Please help I don't want to have to buy a new one!
Thank you!

And, what would you expect us to do? We can't make your charger work. Think about what you might do if your car wouldn't start. You'd take it to the mechanic to fix it. Well, the mechanic for anything made by Apple is your local Apple Store.

My iPod touch 4th generation charger won't work!

I have a black 4th gen. iPod touch with 5.1 iOS. The charger won't work anymore and I think something is cut in the wire. If I get a new one do I have to pay, if so were can I get one?

I think you mean the cable. Yes, that is covered by the warranty that comes with the iPod. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective and not abused and within warranty, Apple will replace the cable.

IPod won't work - Help!

I only just received my iPod Nano 4GB as a gift and it won't work. It works fine while plugged into my PC, and I can import music from iTunes to it, but as soon as I unplug it, the screen goes a bit fuzzy, freezes and slowly fades out - despite the fact that the iPod is fully charged. It won't allow me to reset it (via the toggle button/Menu/select either, and it won't respond when plugged into the mails either, only the computer.
Please help if you can! I've never used my iPod and I'll be really upset if it turns out to be broken - especially as I'm from the UK and all of the complimentary helplines I can find on the Apple website are for US only...

thats the type of thing they invented warrentys for!

My Lightning Charger Won't Work

my lightning charger for my iPod Touch 5th gen won't work, but when i plug it into another charger it does. i don't have any extra chargers at home, and need to figure out what's wrong with it. any help?

Sounds like it simply malfunctioning.
Try swapping the charger (plug) vs the cable, using the one that you know is working. From there you can isolate which is at fault.

Gooseneck Adapter for dock charger won't work

I bought the Apple Shuffle car charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket and Shuffle works great. But since I have a standard, when I shift, the Shuffle is too close to the gear shift. So I bought the gooseneck adapter and Shuffle won't work. Took gooseneck back to store, thinking it was defective, but 2nd one doesn't work either. Any suggestions??

IPod charger won't work

It was fine when I went to bed and this morning it wouldent work it still looks the same but it won't work at all..

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.

Help! Charger won't work!

Whenever I charge my iPod I plug in the white charger (the one that comes with the iPod) into the wall.
Problem is, I plug it in and out multiple times but the little thunderbolt that appears on the battery icon won't appear when I plug my charger in
I've tried other USBwall plugs but the same problem happens
Rare times the little thunderbolt will appear on the battery icon and it will charge
One time I left the charger in overnight and when I looked at it, the battery was full (the charging sign didn't appear)

There is a bug that causes the iPod Touch to indicate that the battery is full even when it isn't. However, if you leave it plugged in, then after a few minutes the indicator will change.
The symptom I've seen is that when I plug in the charger, the "slide to unlock" screen appears with the part discharged battery in the middle of the screen while the small battery icon in the top right of the screen indicates a full battery. It sorts itself out after a few minutes.
Since you say that when you left it overnight you then found that the battery was full, it suggests that this is simply the indicator bug that I've mentioned. To test this, plug in the charger and if it appears that it is not charging, simply leave it alone and check it again after five or ten minutes. Does it say it's charging now?

Replaced parts on Iphone. Still won't work help!

Hey,
I replaced my lcd screen, battery after girlfriend washed it. It worked but wouldn't charge so i bought the charge port, speaker piece and replaced it, now it won't even turn on at all, even when plugged in.
I also had my sim card changed to a different phone while i waited for the parts. Would this have anything to do with the phone not working at all?
What should I do, any help would be great!
Thanks,
Brett

As suspected, I'm just out of luck--here is the response from HP, in case anyone else is having this same problem:
Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
This device does not support two-sided printing. Two sided printing appears on Windows computers as a program offered through the OS and does not actually print two sided, it merely prints the odd pages and then prompts you to reload them to print the even. Through the paper handling selection of the Macintosh print window you can also print odd pages and then reload the pages to print the even, although you would need to launch two commands.
This should resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, please reply to this message and we will be happy to assist you further.

Hard Drive failure - various boot modes won't work, HELP!

Hello all,
First of all, sorry for the essay, but I didn't want to miss out on possible crucial details that could help!
A couple of weeks ago, my beloved 27" iMac had a hard drive failure. It won't boot, but instead goes to the grey 'no entry' sign when booting up. I tried holding Cmd + V on boot and this message repeated itself whilst failing to boot:
"rooting via boot-uuid from chosen/: D94DA2D5-DB38-3517-B05D-70A97AC6EE5B
Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key><IOProviderClass</key><string ID="1"> IOResorces</string><key>IOResourceMach</key><string ID= "2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict>
Got boot device = IOService:/AppleACPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/SATA@1F,2/AppleIntel5Serie sAHCI/PRT0@0/IOAHCIDiskDriver/IOAHCBlockStorageDevice/IOBLockStorageDriver/Hitac hi HDS722020ALA330 Media/IOGUIDPartitionScheme
BSD root: disk0s2, major 14, minor 2
jnl: unknown-dev: open: phys_blksz 4096 does not match journal header size 512, and journal is not empty!
hfs: late jnl init: failed to open/create the journal (retval 0)
cannot mount root, errno = 19"
I'm not sure how much of that is useful, but I thought I'd copy it all down anyway.
I googled error number = 19 and found articles on an invalid b-tree node and corrupt journals, leaving me to believe that because I recently deleted a Windows Vista partition and reformed the overall HD into a 2TB OSX volume, some windows data may have been left over and corrupted the journal?
So it fails to boot normaly, using Cmd V, and using the OSX install disk, as well as failing to boot from the DiskWarrior 4 DVD I purchased from my local Apple Reseller because I'd heard that it's very good at helping with issues such as what I think my HD is having. I tried Disk Utility whilst booting from the install disk, and tried to repair the drive, and each time I tried it said that invalid content was present in the journal but the disk repair had been successful.
Am I right in thinking that my data is on the drive, it's just that OSX won't register the drive's existence because of a corrupted journal? (the little I know of hard drives is shining brightly through at this point, I'm sure!)
I also tried to boot using target mode by connecting my iMac to a MacBook Pro also running Snow Leopard, but, whilst the iMac clearly went into target mode (bouncing firewire icon on screen), my HD never appeared on the desktop of the MacBook Pro, nor in Disk Utility.
Whilst I have AppleCare, I haven't tried taking it to a mac store yet because of two reasons; 1. The last time I did this I had HD failure on my old 2008 MBP and, whilst I told them to keep the data on it, the first thing they did was reformat the disk. Needless to say, it worked, but I lost all my valuable Data! The second reason is that it's bloody heavy, and I don't own a car!
Before people go on about the way I should have backed up my data, I did, and that's gone as well! D:
System Specs:
First generation of 27" iMacs
2.8Ghz Intel i7 quad core
2TB HD
ATi Radeon HD 4850 512mb VRAM
8GB DDR3 RAM
OS version: not the very latest snow leopard but the one before.
Thanks in advance, and once again sorry for the essay!

I'm not sure about the DW disk. Check that out at Alsoft's website. Apple doesn't provide data recovery services.
Apple has records of your iTunes purchases. However, the licensing for music only permits you to download it once. I'm surprised that you don't have backups.
If you get an external enclosure in which to put the drive then you might try accessing it from the MBP as an external drive. If you have an external drive you could try using recovery software:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
Beyond this you would need to send the drive off to a data recovery service which will be extremely expensive.

New iPod touch 5th generation charger won't work with computers or USB power adapter?

I just got this charger less than two weeks ago and just yesterday it started saying "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work on this iPod." It will only work on some occasions, but most of the time it won't. Other times it will show that it is charging, but when I select to "Trust" my computer it stops charging. When I plug it into the USB power adapter, it rarely works (even when I try it in different outlets.) Any way to solve this issue?

If a non-Apple cable and the place will not take it back then:

Why firefox keep deleting my history? i try to reinstall it but it won't work. help me please.

I just upgrade my windows and reinstall my firefox. then it won't make me save my history. at first the history saved. but when I restart my laptop then open my firefox the history won't show up. and i try to reinstall but nothing changes. help :(

I expect you are deleting your history at the end of your session, as opposed to only clearing cache.
Make sure your are saving history, then in the settings that you are not clearing history.
'''Tools > Options > Privacy''' you must have "Remember my browsing history" and in Settings where check marks mean to clear things you must leave unchecked "Browsing history". Annotated picture:

FWIW,
App-tabs are considered part of browsing history so you must save your browsing history for app-tabs to work.
