My ipad 1 will not charge, unless I plug it in, and then turn it off for the entire duration of its charge. If I turn off my ipad and then try and charge it, it just turns on and will not charge. It will also not be recognized by my computer. Any help?

So, I have an ipad 1 as shown above. Recently it froze so I followed Apple instructions and held down the home button and the sleep button until it reset. A couple weeks later I noticed that it would not charge with either the wall plug in or usb plug in. I discovered that it would charge only if it was completely dead (up to 5% and then it stops charging) or if I plug it in via wall plug, then turn it off, and leave it off until it is completely charged. It will not charge if it is on. I have followed all of Apples help/troubleshooting and it still hasn't worked. This would not be such of an issue, but now I have learned that the ipad will not be recognized by itunes and cannot be updated. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Make an appointment at your local Apple store and take it back. I think there's some sort of hardware issue going on and they are the only ones to handle it.

  • I can't sync or back up my iPhone. And other is coming out for the entire usage. What should I do?

    For some reason "other" is showing up as taking all of the memory on my iPhone, and iTunes isn't letting me sync or back-up my phone as a result.

  • My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

    My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

    First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
    If that doesn't work...
    Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

    Try cleaning out the phone's connector.  Else take it in to Apple, you have a 1 year warranty.

  • I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger is not supported with device screen every minute or two. I powered it off for the night. I havent experienced problems since. Why does it still work?

    I dropped my iphone 3gs in water and grabbed it immediately out. It gave me a charger not supported sign every minute or two. I decided to turn it off for the night and the next morning it worked fine and only the bottom sensor was triggered. Why does it still work and how long will it last?

    Water in itself will not kill electronic components if you let it dry out.  Your first reaction to turn it off was a good one but you could have waited even longer.
    It also depends what's on your water that will stay after the water itself had dried; like salt. Anything that iseither acid or conductor left on the circuit board will reduce the life of the board.  Given said this, no one could state how long your iPhone will work since no one will know for sure where the water had time to infiltrate before you removed your device and no one what's may left there.
    Consider yourself lucky.  I don't understand however what you mean by a sensor triggered.

    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • If i already have a data carrier setting in my iphone 4, and i want a upgrade for the setting via itunes, will it write over my existing settings?

    You can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:

  • HT201359 Why have I been extra charged for an app and have been billed twice for the same app?

    Why have I been extra charged for an app and have been billed twice for the same app?

    We are are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support here, we won't know why.
    I don't know what you mean by 'extra charged' (have you made in-app purchases within the app, or are you in the US and need to add on your state's sales tax to the listed price ?), or have you added or changed your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

    If you've been double-charged then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com .
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT201413 iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

    iphone 3gs is dead and not responding for DFU restore also. getting errors like 1600,1601 etc., any help?

    Mikey, I have the exact same problem. Dropped my 3gs on Thanksgiving, phone was not responsive, plugged into the wall charger, went to grey iPhone restore screen, then said to connect to itunes. So I plugged it into itunes but itunes wont recognize it nor will my computer. I searched the internet for hours with no success. I tried to change USB ports and cords, tired removing the SIM card, reinstalled itunes, everything. When I put it in DFU mode itunes recognizes an iphone in recovery mode, so I click restore and update, then I get error 1602 every time. My iPhone also loses power when I unplug it from the wall. I do not know what to try next. You are the only person I have found with the same exact problem I have. I will update you if I find a way to get my phone working again and I hope you will do the same. I'm very frustrated
