My iphone 4s is not charging.  It has been on the charger for over 4 hours.

my iphone is not charging.  The screen shows a battery, with sliver of red, and a lightning bolt, while on the charger.  The Apple frequently appears and then disappears and the red batter/lightning bolt appears.
I have tried several different chargers, and neither are working. 
I have warranty on my iphone, also eligible for an upgrade on 8/25, which i wanted to get the new iphone 5, and give this phone to my son, and add a line. 
I am not sure if i should go to the apple store or the verizon store.  Please advise.
Thank you!

Wow! Let's get this device up and running so it can eventually be passed down to your son. Do you receive any error messages while the device is charging? Are you able to process a soft reset by holding down the power button and the home (menu) button at the same time. We definitely can't have you without a phone.

  • My 3GS has been restoring the software for 2 hours now.  But the indicator has not moved.  What should I do?

    my Iphone 3GS seems to be stuck on restoring the software for 2 hours now.  The indicator on the screen has not moved.  Should I give it more time, or should I unplug it & start over?

    I didn't know you have an MBP. It doesn't have antivirus unless you added it, and the firewall is off by default. And iTunes on a Mac knows how to get around it. It's beginning to look like a hardware problem. Do you have another computer you can try to restore it with? Or an Apple store where you can make a genius appointment?
    Do you have the latest version of iTunes (10.4). If you don't you should get a warning, so you probably do, but worth checking. You can try reinstalling iTunes; as it's a Mac you can just download and install over the old one.
    What version of OS X? You need at least 10.5.4.
    I asked about TinyUmbrella, but let's check anyway. Using textedit, open the file /etc/hosts. You may have to enter the file name directly, as it's hidden and you may not be able to browse to it. It should look like this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1          localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1             localhost
    fe80::1%lo0          localhost
    If it has any other lines, especially lines that contains gs.apple.com, delete those lines and save the file. The Update should then work. I doubt that this is the problem, but we've tried all of the standard ways to fix it.

  • HT4623 how long will take to install the new update on my iphone, it has been at the same % for a hour.

    How long does it take to install the new iphone update, my iphone is been stuck at the same % for over a hour.

    The update should not take more than 5 minutes to download and update.
    I would recommended pressing on the sleep/wake button for a few seconds untill you see the 'slide to shut down' bar. Shut the device down and try again.

  • HT2534 I keep getting "security code invalid" on a card that has been on my acct for over a year.

    I keep getting invalid security code on a card that has been on my account for months. I've been making purchases often with no problems. Now I can't even download updates. I've tried removing the card, but this also has been proving very difficult to do. Please help me. I know others have had this problem in the past, but still haven't found a resolution. Thank you apple savvy peeps!!
    <Email Edited By Host>

    Log onto iTunes on your computer, then update ur current credit card info with spaces inbetween the 4 sets of numbers then put in ur exp date and security code and all that info. im not guaranteeing this will work but it did for me.

  • On Apple TV, my pictures have loaded, but I cannot get the slideshow function to work.  It has been "loading" 28 pictures for over 5 minutes.  What is wrong?

    On Apple TV, my pictures have loaded, but I cannot get the slideshow function to work.  It has been "loading" 28 pictures for five minutes.  What am I doing wrong?  I have Windows 7 on my PC.

    I don't have any direct experience with D-Link equipment, but I may be able to provide some general advice. See if you can use a Web browser to connect to the D-Link's configuration screen. This probably involves visiting a URL such as http://www.192.168.0.1 . If you haven't changed the sign-on parameters, a quick Google search should find them for you.
    Once there, note as many configuration details as you can find. You'll need those to configure your Time Capsule.
    Use the AirPort Utility to configure the Time Capsule.
    One last thing: It's quite possible that the Verizon network will have locked onto the "MAC" address of your D-Link router. Something needs to be done to reset this. If there's a separate box at your house that came with the FIOS equipment that's "upstream" from the D-Link router, I'd cycle power on it to see if that does the job. Otherwise you'll probably need to call Verizon to ask them to reset things once your Time Capsule is installed in place of the D-Link router.

  • My iphone 4s will not turn on, I have checked the charger and its fine

    My Battery was low and the iphone powerted off. I have tried to charge it but it still won't power on. I have checked the charger and its fine

    RESET DEVICE
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

  • HT1414 i am trying to download the 6.01 iso on my iphone and for some reason it's not doing it and the download has been on my phone for over 2 months now

    I am trying to download the new software for my Iphone the 6.01 iso for some reason it's not working and it's been like this for over 2 months now. it say's that it downloadable but it's not allowing me to do so.

    Make sure you have the lattest iTunes installed > hold the power down and the home buttom on your phone at the same time till your phone turns off > turn it back on > plug into your computer > try to redownload and update your phone.
    See if that helps.
    P.S Holding down your power button and home just soft resets your phone.

  • My adobe has been stuck at 35% for over a half an hour

    Has anyone else encountered this issue? Should I cancel and try again or is this normal? It jumped to 35% within the first minute then has been lingering there ever since. Any tips or is this normal?

    that's not normal.
    you could check your activity monitor (mac) or task manager (win) to look for a hanging adobe thread and terminated it.  or you could cancel the installation, run the cleaner (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then retry installing.
