My ipad 3 stopped charging, not the adapter and reboot doesn't do anything. I've tried all the tricks and different adapters and now my nearest Apple store is saying it just doesn't work and it'll be $300 to replace. Only had it 1 yr and half.
My ipad 3 suddenly stopped charging last week. I've tried different adapters, to no avail. I didn't drop it or spill anything on it. I don't have tons of apps, so plenty of memory. My husband took it to the Apple store for me and they tried charging it too even though I knew that wasn't the problem and then said it wasn't working (no kidding) and then told him it would be $300 to replace. Seeing as I've only had it for a year and a half and it cost more than twice that to begin with, I'm a little ticked that it stops charging, a problem I know is very common according the all the message boards and they want to charge me $300. I've always heard that Apple was so good to it's customers, but my iphone has been a nightmare, and now my ipad won't charge. Also, I've tried the reset options I've read about and none worked. Sorry, just really upset. I thought I was paying all this money for better quality and now I feel foolish for having done so. Anybody with any ideas I, or the genius at Apple haven't thought of? Help is appreciated. Thanks.
May be some help on one of these links.
Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Using I Pod NANO. Installed I Tunes on Windows 7 Pro, 64 Bit.
Software works fine. Only problem is that I can't open up the
Store page from in the software. It just shows a blank screen.
Looks like it starts but then just freezes.
IT department worked all day. Reloaded software, set up
security, checked msconfig files. Tried all sorts or revissions.
Nothing works? Yet it works fine on my Windows 7 Home edition?
ANYONE have a clue. This Apple software is not the friendliest!!
This is very frustrating for something so simple to use!
This used to work. Upgraded to 10.3.3.. No good. Tried other revisions,
No Good! Can't purchase music or have the website fully pull up at all
from I Tunes.
Appreciate any help if some has been through this. My service that
I have for IT had to give up. 6 hours of things they tried. Nothing worked.You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day! -
Everything used to fit. It was only after I removed the music to sync because this is considered a "new" library that the "Other" space appeared to this extent.
Since this first message, the "Other" space has increased exponentially. The first time, after the "restore", it increased to over 9 GB. Later, I tried a minor restore again, and now it's over 10 GB. I've seen someone suggest that text messages are to blame. If my text messages are suddenly taking up 4 GB of space, I think we've got bigger problems.

Tried deleting firefox and reinstalling latest version to no avail.
Tried all fixes from previous questions to no avail.
Haven't seen anybody say that they've actually had a suggested fix WORK, but have seen hundreds of people with the problem.To properly close Firefox use File > Exit as you already determined, and that you would have seen when looking for solutions.
But your real problem I believe is in how you are attempting to run multiple profiles at the same time. You can only have one default browser and only one default profile. Any other profile must be started with -no-remote and it is parent.lock that protects this to make sure that you use only one profile at a time.
For more information start with

I've had my iPod Touch for a couple years now and I went to upload music and a movie on it today and my Macbook wouldn't recognize it. I tried the two other macs in my house and none of them recognized it. I tried all the suggsetions from the support page, but none of them helped. What else can I do?

My three year old ipod nano 4th generation has been working fine all these years. Suddenly, last week, while it was low on battery (not completely drained), it shut down and I cannot restart it. I have tried all the troubleshooting issues and still did not manage to turn it on. Though. when I press center and menu while connected to my computer, the computer bips has if it recognized that something is trying to connect. Though, it cannot identify it and the iPod remains shut down. I cannot find the issue, perhaps I need a battery replacement?

It's possible. Just take the iPod to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. -

my apple tv 1st generation appears to have locked up. it constantly now displays only a black screen.No function reset etc from remote use.The led status is constantly blinking orange. I have tried all the manual tips etc but still blank. Any ideas anyone?
Gary.Same/similar thing just happened to me....two days ago or so. Ran fine for months since going from wifi (major problems) to ethernet now.
I hadn't been on atv 1 for a few days and had it powered down. Turned it on and it ran thru the startup video/sequence then did the ole sit on a black screen where you can hear the remote responses (say, if i hit left on the remote - the 'option not available' doink noise is made instead of the usual sound you'd get if you were moving to the left on the menu.....not sure if that description makes sense?
The 'exit' or moving out of a menu 'noise' does sound, as does the enter/moving into a menu noise.
This has happened in the past, but more when i had it set up via wi fi.
Thing is this time i left it sit on the black screen while reading the paper, and after about 5 minutes, the menu screen finally showed up. Everything was really sluggish to start - but it was there. But, then, i reset it to see if the sluggishness would go away, and back to the black screen after the startup video.....and then 5 minutes later, it came up.
Not sure what is going on...but did have the blinking orange light for a while during the issue.
Don't think its an age thing as it did this even when i first purchased it....
Once into a video or music it runs fine (though i did notice that every once in a while with the music playing from my itunes, it would have a second of silence mid song like it paused for a second, and then would resume as if nothing happened.....
Any ideas whats shaking with this? Does this sound similar to your issue or am i in a different ball park. -
I can connect my Iphone 6 and Ipad Air to my Bose Soundlink but not my IMac. I have tried all the usual solutions but nothing works. It has worked recently but not in the last week. Help
make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device
automaticly
then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac -

Itunes doesn't see ipad - and I've tried all the remedies
My ipad 2 (ios5) isn't recognised as a device in iTunes on my iMac (running 10.6.8). I've tried all the fixes that apple recommends and tried all the suggestions on forums - updated software, different cables, ports etc. Nothing works. Any ideas?
Here is my standard reply so you can match it against what you have already done -
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
