My ipad stopped charging 2days ago, now the battery has completely run out. when ever i plug it to the mains using charger provided, it just shows the, 'red batteryand electricity sign' and goes off again. I have previously tried resting and still no change. Help please.

wait for the red battery to turn green... that will take 2 mins.
once battery shows green, wait for another 8 mins to hold charge
>after 10 mins of waiting turn on iPad...

My iPad dosent sent seem to be charging , could it be the battery ?

My ipad dosent seem to be charging , could it be the battery ?

It could be, hopefully it isn't. First try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait until your iPad starts on it's own. If it still doesn't charge try a different charger and cable. If it still doesn't charge make appointment with the Genius bar at the Apple Store.

IPhone4 will not hold a charge - This is my 3rd iPhone having this problem

Hi all -
I appreciate any help you can provide as I'm stuck and don't know what else to do.
Last September just before the iPhone4S was released, I purchased my very first iPhone which was a iPhone4.
About 3 months after owning my iPhone, the battery drained really fast.
I took the phone to the Apple store and they ran a thousands tests. Restores, backups, test for water damage, etc. etc.
They issued me a "new iPhone4".
about 4 months after that, the same thing happened to my phone (now my 2nd iPhone4).
LONG STORY SHORT - we did the same tests, several trips to the Apple store.
They said that because I plugged my phone in to my car radio, the radio pushed out too many amps and that drianed my battery.
I denied that and said that wasn't possiable, but OK, my bad. I won't use my iPhone with my car radio.
so they issued me ANOTHER "new" iPhone4 (now my 3rd & current one).
THIS TIME I MADE URE TO CHARGE MY PHONE CAREFULLY.
i've had this phone since July.
as with my first 2 phones, I've only used the original charger that came with my iPhone and have only plugged it in to the same oulet that my wife uses for her 4s (she has no issues). Here I am 3 months later, and AGAIN my iPhone drains fast and can not hold a charge.
after being at 100% battery life, I unplug it. Check emails, twitter and espn occasionally and within an hour i'm under 20% battery life.
Can anyone PLEASE help me? Am I doing something wrong?
I don't want to restore all my apps and things again. I don't ant a "new" phone. I just ant to keep this phone and have it retain a normal battery cycle.
PleaseHelp - Thank you

bring it into Apple for battery diagnostics.

Battery will not hold a charge

My ipad 3 will not hold a charge on the battery, it has been pluged into the wall, using the provided wall charger, since noon. Now, it is 5pm and the battery is only around 40%. The iPad is still under the 1 year warrenty. Will apple replace the battery if the digitizer screen is broken? (it has a slight crack) Or is my warrenty void?

You will need to take the iPad to Apple, the screen and battery are two different problems,but they could be related. Apple will need to make that determination. It will be very difficult to replace your battery without breaking the digitizer if it has a small crack.

IPad does not hold a charge. Anyone know why?

My ipad does not hold a charge. I charged it yesterday and didnt use it at all today plus I even shut it down all the way not just sleep.

I doubt that anyone here, with the limited knowledge of how you actually use your device, could ever do more than hazard a guess. Your power adapter is bad and not charging properly .... It is possible that the battery indicator is giving you an incorrect reading and that the iPad has more battery power left than it shows on the meter, but if it shuts down on its own after less than say - 6 hours - on a full charge - then something is wrong.

You may want to read both articles and make your own determination. You can always try restoring the device and see if that helps. Read this for help.

You could try a hard reset and see if that helps at all.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

My iPad 1 won't hold a charge for very long and will only fully charge when turned off while plugged in. Will a full reset fix this?

maybe but
most likely no
if you have many apps running and using data and localization at the same time yes maybe
but batteries get worse and worse and worse over time until they die a software reset will not change that

My Apple iPad 3 is less than 6 months old - purchased in March of 2012. I believe it already needs a new battery. It will not hold a charge for very long andvs very slow in starting up a carge when I plug it in. Please advise - it is very annoying.n.

Take it to Apple Store. You are covered under your 1 year warranty.

MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge. I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time. I drains to the red line in less than 2 days. My husband's nano will last a week this way.

Am I doing something incorrectly to cause this short battery life?

You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new." Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

My laptop got wet - battery icon now has a X inside and it is not holding any charge at all, anyone else dealt with this scenario?

The battery is not detected, so it means that the battery or the battery connector are not working, which is a serious problem.
Turn off your MacBook and take it to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be an expensive repair if your logic board has to be replaced. Read > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5511

My ipad in not holding its charge. A 100% will only last a half of a day depending on how long I use it. 2yrs in december

batteries can only hold a full charge for so many years and you say yours is almost 2 years out. Also, of course battery time will fluctuate depending on how you use it.
