My iPod touch 5th gen is not charging. I have tried different cords and plugs too. When I press the power button it just has the charging symbol with a red line in it but it isn't charging at all. Won't connect to iTunes either.

I tried recover mode twice and it did nothing. The 15 day warranty is already up and I'm just wondering if I need to replace the battery at all? Also, before it stopped charging, it would turn off for no reason and the only way to turn it back on was to plug it into a charger and then it would turn right back on and have the same amount of battery that it had when it turned off... Is it the battery I need to replace??
HELP!!!!

My iPad is not charging even after rebooting and checking the charger on another device.

My iPad is not charging even after rebooting and checking the charger on another device.

So your charger works on another device just not on your ipad?
if so, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.

TS3274 ipad will not charge when USB cord connected to PC or socket.

When i plug the USB cord to either electrical socket or computer. ipad will not charge. Says NOT CHARGING. Please HELP.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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%.

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.

Iphone 4 will not charge tried different cables, docks and Itunes dont recognize it

tried different cables, docks and itunes dont recognize it. I have reset it pushing and holding both buttons several times. If it is off and I plug it in the apple symbol pops up and it turns on. I live almost 3 hrs from the nearest apple store and I really dont want to have to be with out my phone. also its less than 3 months old so im thinking its not the battery needing replaced. anyone help me out here?

Sounds like the dock port on your iPhone has a problem. It is in warranty so you will need to get it serviced.

I am traveling in the UAE. 220v country. Bought a plug in converter. Plugged it in but iPad will not charge. Same with Mac pro. Suggestions?

Would appreciate suggestions.

iPad is not voltage dependent and will chargte in 110 or 220. What you need is a plug adapter that will let you plug your 10W charger into the wall sockests in UAE. I may be wrong on the MacBook Pro, but I believe it too will charge on 220, with just an adapter to let you plug it into the wall sockets.
EDIT: I checked and I was correct on the MacBook Pro. It too will charge on 220 V outlets. So, you don't use a voltage adapter. You just get an adapter that let's you plug your US plug into the wall sockets where you are......

IPad will not charge by USB only by plug

My iPad charges fine whiles plugged into mains, but will not charge by USB. It's says its charging when flat but once on it has a message next to the battery bar saying not charging?

Correct, as most computers do not provide sufficient current to charge the iPad properly. It may charge, but it will be very, very slow.

Just got a new iphone and it wont connect so I can restore all my apps etc.. tried different cords and outlets but no good ..

Just got a replacement iphone 4 and it wont connect to itunes for me to restore things. It started to sync but then itunes froze so once I tried to connect it wouldnt do it .I tried new cords, new outlets, and new computer but nothing.. ahhhhh less stress when I had no phone i think ... help

Try unchecking the "Encrypt backup" checkbox. You will still have to enter a password, but you can go through a lot of passwords faster this way. If you ever had a corporate Ms Exchange account try your old domain passwords. Also try familiar passwords all lower case.
Finally, there is a professional password cracker that is made primarily for the law enforcement market by Elcomsoft. It will always be able to find your password, but it may take years to do it if you had a really good password. You can give it a list of passwords that you have used, however, and it will try variations on them, as well as dictionary searches. It's expensive, but there is a trial version that will give you the first two characters of your password.

My phone is frozen with the itunes symbol and usb cord. Tried to update and cannot, any suggestions

My phone is frozen with Itunes and a USB cord icons, I tried to shut it off and update and cannot..... any suggestions?

First of all, your post says you have an iPhone 3G running iOS 6.0.1. That is not possible, as the iPhone 3G cannot run any iOS past 4.2.1.
So, if you simply made a mistake with that information, we can proceed. If not, your iPhone was hacked or jailbroken, and likely cannot be saved.
Try recovery mode as described below. You may have to try to put the iPhone into recovery mode more than once.

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 works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

My mini ipad is not charging

My mini ipad came fully charged from the apple store yorkdale, my charge is down to 19% so I took charger from the box and plugged it into the wall and the other end into the ipad both ways, but not charging, tried powering down and up with power button, but not charging. What is the secret here?

Dont worry Sayurichaninu the only way of gett your ipad mini to charge is doing it on the computer. All you have to do is find a windows 7/8 computer (32 bit or 64 bit) and then copy and paste this into your browser.: http://event.asus.com/mb/2010/ai_charger/
Then you will need winrar. just copy and paste this link into your browser: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
then click on the english 32bit or 64bit depending on what system bit you have. then click on the engish 32bit or 64 bit and it will start downloading. when it is finished go through the installation process. when that is finished go back the ai charger website and you should find a 'Download Now' button in blue on the page. click on that and when the download is finished, click on that. Then you should see a programe called 'Setup.exe' click on that. go through the process and then it will say you will need to restart your computer click on the small circle that says restart your computer and then click ok. wait for it to restart. and then pplug in your ipad mini into your computer with the usb cable from the charger plug and plug that into the computer and then put the micro charger into the slot on the ipad. and it should charge. it will take 3-5 hours
hope this helps

Ipad will not charge or turn on after downloading IOS 7

Ipad will not charge or turn on and I have tried re-booting etc but nothing happening. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Charge the device via a wall outlet for At least 10-20 minutes, then try this while it's still plugged in
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.
Make sure iTunes is updated to the latest version

HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off. It will not charge while the phone is on. Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything. I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

My iPad is not charging. Tried different cord and plug. Any suggestions?
