My iPad mini is dead and won't charge!!!!

My iPad mini was nearly dead, so I plugged it in. However, it didn't say it was charging. And now it's completely dead. I've tried using a different charger and switching wall sockets, but nothing will work. It won't turn on it just has the symbol telling me I need to plug it in. I've had this iPad mini for over two years and I've never had a problem like this before!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

1. Reset iPad
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

If the reset doesn't work, you may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

My original Ipad is dead and won't charge at all. I've tried numerous chargers. How do I know if the iPad is "broke"?

Aside from taking it in to a certified Apple Repair shop, this may be a sign that it is dead. Or there could some kind of damage to the connectors on the charge port. I am guessing on that part because I am assuming that the other chargers you have used work for other devices. It may be time to look into buying a new one if it is dead.

My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this?

My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this? Before it died, it said I had a full battery whenever I charged it, but as soon as it came off of the charger, the battery level was always under ten per cent.

Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced.

My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life!

My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life! What to do???

Was late to work because my alarm didn't go off on my iPhone this morning! (4 w/ IOS 5) When I woke up, I went to check my phone and it wouldn't turn on; so I plugged it in to the charger and no response. I left it plugged in while I was getting ready...came back a shortwhile later...still no signs of life. At that point, I held both buttons for several seconds and the apple logo appeared and the lock screen displayed shortly thereafter. And what's odd, is that it showed that I had about 80% of battery life left. So it seems like something else caused it to shutdown completely. One note though...I updated to IOS 5 on Sunday...and I've used my phone ever since with no problems. So this is the first time this has happened since the update.
In looking at a thread on another site, I found this excerpt from an alleged beta tester back in June...and it was in reference to the iPad 2 with IOS 5, but seemed plausible enough to share here:
Issue: "Hey guys, whenever my iPad 2 is locked for a while, it wont wake from sleep. I have to give it a hard reset. Is anyone else having this issue?"
Response: "I think I isolated the issue....make sure banner notifications are turned off for mail app. If the screen is locked and you get a mail it freezes up causing you to reboot. hope it gets fixed in the next beta!"
Follow-up: "Did it help you at all? I tried recreating every way I could think of with mail and never could. I'll turn of mail notifications for the rest of the night and see what happens."
"Hey Rick, yes it helped, my iPad no longer shuts off. I turned off mail banner notifications like Defender2010 said, and at least for now, it doesn't turn off anymore."

What do i do when my ipad mini is dead and wont charge

You know when your ipad mini is dead you hold the power and it will tell you to put your charger in, even when i put my charger in it still doesnt work.
SOMEONE PLZ HELP I AM SO SCARED

If you have a different charger, try it. If not, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple service provider to have the hardware checked.

My iPad Mini is frozen and won't turn on.

My iPad mini was frozen in an app. I rebooted by pressing the home button and sleep button at the same time. However, it won't turn on. It is stuck in the power up screen, with the apple. It won't go past this. Please help.
Thanks...

Three iPods... all dead and won't charge

I need some serious help. My 30Gb iPod, 2 weeks old, won't charge. My daughter's 2 month old 2nd gen Nano won't charge. My son's 11 month old 1st gen Nano won't charge. I have become quite proficient in managing the iPods. I have had to do a few resets on my 30Gb, but that's it. However, beginning yesterday, none of them will charge.
I have 2 AC chargers (Apple, of course) and 3 different USB cords. I have 2 Dell Dimension desktops, both relatively new and up to date on all Windows updates. The computers would recognize my son's iPod yesterday (but not my 30Gb or my daughter's Nano), but it wouldn't recharge via the USB cables.
I alternated all 3 USB cables on each computer, as well as the AC chargers. I tried 5 different AC outlets, and tested the AC outlets by charging my cell phones on them. I also tested the USB connections on my desktops by charging a digital camera.. no problems with the camera.
My son's 1st Gen is the only one that shows any signs of life. It will infrequently flicker and say something like, "Please wait, low battery". Yesterday, it would say it was charging, but it never charged up and it eventually ground itself down into this sad state.
I have no clue as to what happened with mine. It was well protected in my purse, about half the battery charge left, when I last used it. I pulled it out yesterday to update via iTunes, and it was so dead the computer wouldn't recognize it.
Daughter was listening to hers yesterday, and the battery discharged. It's been dead ever since.
I have all the latest Windows updates, reinstalled iTunes, and tried every reset option known to man. I don't know what else to do at this point, and I REALLY hate to package up all three of them and send them to Apple.
Any suggestions? Help!!!!!

I had the same problem with my old original iPad 1. I read somewhere (maybe even in this forum) to try a 12-watt charger. I bought the Apple 12-Watt power adapter on Amazon for 19.95 (also available at Apple stores for the same price) and plugged that iPad in today and it IS charging and everything on it is accessible!! I am amazed and thrilled! I wasn't optimistic with this fix, but it sure worked! You might want to try it, too. BTW...everything is still there..no restore needed.

My iPod Touch Is Dead and Won't Charge

I have a 2nd Generation 16GB iPod Touch. I have had it for a year and half. I use it very often.
Yesterday, it just all the sudden shut off. It was low on battery, but it didn't even do it's usual black screen and the loading logo. It just completely shut off to a black screen. I immediately tried to charge it, but to no avail. When I try to charge it, it jst shows the Apple logo over and over as if it's trying to shart back up, but won't. I left it on the charger all night hoping it would resurrect, but that didn't happen either. It won't charge at all. I click the Home button and it shows the Charging bar. All it hjas left is a little red bar at the end. It recognizes that it is plugged into the computer because it has the little lightning strike under the bar that shows that it is indeed charging, or at least trying to charge. When I unplug it, it has the little "plug > lighning strike" logo. It's like it recognizes that it is plugged into a charger, but just won't charge.
I have already tried holding the Home and Power button numerous times, so don't tell me to do that.
My iPod Touch is not recognized by my computer or iTunes.
I really just want to get the songs off my broken iPod Touch, so if you know how to do that, then that will be fine as I will most likely buy a new iPod Touch.
Please help me out.

If you've tried the poer cycle button and its not working I'd try a trip to the Genius bar. Do you have an Apple store nearby?

Just been watching netflix and my ipad mini switched off and won't turn on again no matter what i do. any ideas?

I have tried pressing both the home button and the power button and nothing happens at all. When I plug it into the mains nothing happens and the same with connecting to my computer. the battery was at around 60% a few minutes before it died so i have no clue as to what has happened :/

1. Reset iPad (ignore)
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air

IPod Mini is Dead and will not charge or respond

My daughter has a 4GB second generation iPod Mini. It has worked fine, other than a few freeze ups every now and then, for several years. Yesterday it stopped working altogether. We have tried charging overnight with the AC charger but still there is no sign of life. Her iMac does not recognize it and we cannot get it to turn on. There is no charging icon when it is plugged in. It appears to be totally dead. Prior to this the battery still had reasonable running life. She would get about 6 to 8 hours of playback time per charge.
We have tried toggling the "hold" button. Nothing seems to work. I would appreciate any ideas.

I got tied up and forgot to respond to the earlier post. The iPod Mini is back in working order. While I had tried a reset procedure before and got no where, I tried it again. Finally on the third attempt the "apple" logo appeared and all was well. Since I had not gotten any response from the Mini the first time I tried a reset, I assumed that the resetting procedure would not work. So a good lesson to this is to attempt re-setting several times if it does not work the first time.
Thanks to all that took the time to contribute.
