My iPad Retina 4th Gen. won't charge Help!! :(

Please refer to the details below:
Device: iPad (4th Gen) WIFI + Cellular 32GB (No External Damages)
Accessories: "Brand New" Genuine Apple Lightning Cable 1M and 12W Adapter (Bundled w/ the iPad)
iOS Version: 7.1.1 (Latest)
Scenario:
My old cable broke so I decided to buy a new one, but then when I tried to charge my iPad using my newly bought cable and my 12w adapter, my iPad won't charge! I've tried the cable on both orientations since lightning cables are reversible yet to no avail still my device won't charge. At first, maybe it is my 12w adapter that is broken so I tried another good known 12w adapter but still my iPad won't charge. Running out of options, I called a friend who has a newly bought iPad 4th Gen and tried out my accessories, her iPad is CHARGING!! actually it fully charged her iPad! So my accessories are really working fine! Tried my cable and 12w adapter to different lightning devices and all devices where charging and syncing. I've aslo tried to plug the ipad to my computer using my newly bought cable and surprisingly it is charging and detected by itunes. But I know it really takes time charging on the computer and I'm really confused why my iPad will charge on a computer but NOT when using my adapter plugged on a wall socket which practically is weird since it is confirmed that my accessories are working. I've tried other brand new lightning cables still it won't charge on the wall using the adapter.
Isolations Made:
12w adapter = Confirmed Working
Lightning Cable = Confirmed Working
iPad (4th Gen) = Already done "Cleaning the ports" ,"Restart" , "Reset" and "Complete Restore including DFU Restore"
Buttom Line: iPad will charge on the computer but NOT on the wall socket using the 12w adapter and same cable

- Did you everset up yur iPod on the "new" computer? To do thatyou need to either mrestore the iPod from a backup on the computer or restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
- Is the computerauthorized for the iitem in the iTunes library?
- Is the iPod signed into that account?

HT1510 my iPod shuffle 4th gen won't charge or show up in iTunes

my iPod shuffle 4th gen won't charge or show up in iTunes when i plug it in to the back of the computer and when the off/on switch is halfway it gives me a solid red light on the iPod battery status light for about five seconds does anyone know what to do

If you connect it to the Mac with iTunes NOT running, and run Disk Utility, does it appear in the sidebar as a "disk"? Also, you can run System Profiler or System Information (depending Mac OS X version). It is in Applications/Utilities/, but you can also run it from the About This Mac window. Does the shuffle appear as a device under USB?
The red light when you move the power switch to ON means very low charge in battery. That probably means the battery is not getting charged when connected. In terms of hardware, that could mean a bad USB port on Mac, a bad USB cable, or a bad connection on the shuffle. In any case, power is not getting to the battery. It might be a bad battery, but if that was the only problem, I think the shuffle would still appear in iTunes when connected. That's why asked if it appeared in Disk Utility or System Profiler/Information; if it does, the connection is working (even though iTunes does not see it for some reason).
You can make sure the USB port is working by using something else that is similar (like a USB flash drive) on the same port. If you happen to have another USB cable, you also try to rule out a bad cable.

(4th gen) Won't charge or connect

My iPod shuffle 4th gen won't connect to my itunes and doesn't seem to charge. When I plug it in the light will be orange for about 20 seconds. Also, when I flip around the switch on the top it will sometimes flash red twice. When I plug my headphones in, I still will get music.
I'm using itunes 11 and I'm using OS X 10.9 on a 2012 macbook pro.

To add to what has been said, I've tried both USB ports, I have plugged my phone in to both ports to ensure they work. Also when I plug my shuffle in to my wall it will charge from there. I have restarted my macbook, and I have to latest version of itunes.

IPad 4th gen won't charge?

I have recently got an iPad 4th gen (3 with lightning charger).
Last night I was on youtube watching videos, when suddenly the screen went black.
I plugged it into the wall, pressed the on switch.. it turned on and it was 1%.
So I let it charge overnight (12:45am - 11:30am)
I go down to see it and its STILL on 1%
I use the plug (12WATT) that was provided in the box, and also the cable provided
both seem to be working fine as it says my iPad is charging due to the lightning symbol in the corner next to the percentage..
but my iPad will not budge past 1%
I have tried the power button and home button reset... twice and it hasn't worked either time.
Does anyone have any ideas why?
And what should I do, because I really need to use it..?
Update : I plugged it into my laptop and it now says 'Not Charging' in the top right hand corner?

Hi Moll.x,
If you are having difficulties charging your iPad, you may want to follow the directions listed in this article -
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Note that the article title says iPhone & iPod touch but the same steps are relevant to the iPad -
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

IPod Classic 4th gen won't charge

So i got a iPod of ebay and it came with roughly 75% charged, when i plugged it in to my computer it reacted fine, i then reset the iPod to the default settings and it asked my to connect it to a wall plug, not having a firewire on hand i just used my 10 W iPad charger and it booted up fine i then thought i'll leave it to fully charge, i did this ans went off and came back about 1-2 hours later and the screen said "Charged" so i disconnected the iPod and on the screen it actually had less that 75% about 50% now, i was confused to why it wasn't working, so i plugged it in to my computer and it worked fine but i noticed that it said that it was fully charged in the top corner, i put some music on it and my brother came with his firewire charger so i thought this will react to it the battery is no on about 15% i try my 10 W charger in his iPod classic 4th gen and it worked fine. so my iPod then dies and i plug it in to my 10 watt charger and nothing happens, i plug it in to the firewire and it comes up with the low battery symbol on a loop, after reading many online articles i decide the battery is busted and get another battery, i get the battery and i change it over no problem. iPod boots up fine, however it still does not charge when connected to 5W 10W it just says "charged" when it is not and when i connect it to the 12W firewire nothing happens. Does any one have any ideas whats going on? Could it be the logic board?
I should also say my brothers iPod classic 4th gen works fine on all 3 chargers plus computers.

Looks like yor iPod battery need to be replaced

If I plug it into mains using the charger which came with it it will charge (but it won't hold the charge, this I am used to, hence why it's always plugged into me car)
FYI, you should charge the iPod Classic, for at least 2 hours, using a USB 2.0 port at the back of the Desktop, or if you are using a Mac the USB port on the body of the Mac and not those on the keyboard, (these dont have enough power to charge the battery, which need at least 450mA current)

My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't charge?

Well I've had my iPod Touch 4th Gen since it came out it will be 2 years old in October. Yesterday I charged my iPod while listening to music. I took it of when it was charged and used a little it became half dead so I put it on my charger. I realized there was no indication of it charging? I placed on all of the chargers in my house and the same problem. I haven't tried connecting it to my Mac, but I did try turning on and off but still won't charge. Does anyone know if I can fix this?

- Try connecting it to yur computer and se if it charger and it it appears in iTunes
- Try another cable
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalites like bent or corroded contacts, crackd or missing plastic pieces or foreign material.

New ipod shuffle 4th gen won't charge or turn on or show up in itunes

Received a 4th gen ipod shuffle as a gift, plugged it in straight away synced a song on to it, listened to it. Left the ipod alone for a day, came back to it and it won't turn on, charge, or show up in itunes?
Tried resetting it, did nothing. Tried to get it to be replaced but apparently servicing and replacement isn't available in my area? ( yeah, what?)
What do i do?

IPod Touch 4th Gen won't charge.

It's been about a month now that it won't charge at all. I've tried it on every single cable that I have, but it still won't charge. It won't charge when it's plugged into the wall outlets nor on my PC and MacBook. So I had turned off my iPod and told myself that I would have someone take a look at it for me, but I have completely forgotten about it.
I bought this ipod about more than a year ago, so my warranty is over. I'm not sure if I can even go into the apple store and ask the Genius' for help.
Recently, just today, I had turned it back on in hopes of trying to see if it would charge again. I plugged it into my MacBook and surprisingly it charged, however, only for a short 10 minutes, then after it finished syncing, it stopped charging and disconnected itself from iTunes. Messing around w/ the cable cord, I moved it a little and it started charging again, this time only for about 2 minutes. Then it stopped charging and disconnected itself from iTunes again. And now I cant get it to charge at all. I've tried putting it into DFU mode, it doesn't work since I can't connect to iTunes. So I tried turning it off while it was still plugged in and it just restarted. I unplugged it, turned it off and it shut down completely; then I plugged it back in, and it would turn back on, but it won't charge.
I don't know what the problem is exactly. If anyone can help, that would be much appreciated. I'm not really looking towards purchasing another iPod anytime soon. /:
Meanwhile, I'm just going to leave it off as to not drain the battery.

My ipod touch 4th gen. won't charge or reset or come one at all.

Please help. I have a ipod touch 4th gen. Yesterday it died, battery ran down, and i've not been able to get it to do anything. The screen shows the battery with red, but it's really faint. I've tried to reset/restart it several times, but it still does nothing. I plugged it up to the computer, hoping to reset it via itunes... nothing. I left it plugged up to the computer for several hours hoping it would charge....nothing. Tried the docking station to charge it, nope.
The battery has run down before and i've been able to charge it with no problem. I don't know what's different this time. Is there a way to do a factory reset or something like that to just completely reset the whole thing?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod 4th gen. won't charge or connect to iTunes,What do I do?

My iPod 4g hasn't been recongize by iTunes and it won't charge when it is pluged into my wall or pc.I'm struggling to find a way to fix it.
It has been like this since yesterday and nothing had changed.I plugged it into the wall also and still it won't charge.What should I do?I'm desperate for answers.

After charging for half an hour, reset the iPod and connect the iPod to the syncing computer and try to restore the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.o
- If iTunes does not see the iPod, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPOd. For recovery mode see:

Ipod shuffle (4th gen) won't charge?

I didn't use my shuffle for about three months and now it won't charge. I've tried charging it with my 13" macbook pro using a genuine apple cable that I know works

Double check the connection to the headphones jack, to make sure the plug is fully inserted into the headphones jack as seen in this document
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
Other than that, since the light does not come on at all, there is no power going to the shuffle. The possible causes are (1) problem with USB port not working or not providing sufficient power, (2) faulty USB cable, or (3) problem on the shuffle, such as a bad headphones jack or logic board.
For (1), try it connected to a direct USB port on the computer (not a hub) with other USB devices disconnected. If it does not work that way, connect something else to the same port to confirm it is working, preferably something similar like a USB flash drive or bus-powered external drive.
For (2), you said you know the USB cable works, but the only way to confirm it works is to use it to connect another shuffle, or to get another cable to try with your shuffle. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the Genius Bar, and have the Apple tech give it a try with their cable.
If you have ruled out (1) and (2), it is more likely to be (3).

Ipod 4th gen won't charge

My ipod won't charge and i tried a lot of chargers. I don't know if the charging port was messed around with. Help. It's dead.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My IPod Touch 4th gen won't charge unless its off when it's on it won't even recognize the charger or indicate it's charging please help me figure out so I can charge and use it at the same time

Help would be appreciated

The charger yo are using does not supply enough power to both charge the iPod and power a working iPod at the same times.
Not the wall you plug the wall charger into if you are using a wall charger.
Have you tried another charging source?
I would also try another cable.

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

What if my 8GB iPod Touch 4th Gen. won't charge and won't keep it's charge?

My iPod Touch 4thGen. 8GB 6.1.3, doesn't charge at all. For the past 2 weeks I've tried different cables/wires, 2 computers, different wall jacks, and my car charger, but to no success... And every time I somehow do manage to get it to charge, it doesn't show a lightning/electricity/zig zag pattern, only a "fully charged" symbol, and a few times don't seem to be charging the battery at all. All it says is "Charging Not Supported With This Accessory."... Like right now it is "charging", with a "fully charged" symbol, but the battery is still red and very thin. I've been charging it for the past 4 hrs. and it's still at less than 20%. What do I do? I bought it last June, and so IDK if the warranty is still useful. It's screen is cracked(since January) and the power button doesn't work at all(since May) so I can't restart it or turn it off. My friend told me to fully drain the battery, so I did. But once I connected and charged it, for around 5 or 6 hours, even then it still had a low battery. What can I do?

Not Charge
