My iphone is not charging even though the lightning bolt symbol comes on.

My iphone is plugged in and the lightning bolt symbol comes on, but the battery power does not go up. This is the first time I've had a problem. I have already tried two different cables, and it looks like it's charging but it doesn't.
Is there something I can do or do I probably need a new battery?

Did you check the docking connector for any kind of lint or debris?
Also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this doe not help, contact Apple to get it serviced or visit your next Apple Store: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

IPhone 5s not charging even though it says it is.

I just got my new iPhone 5s two-three days ago and randomly my phone charger is acting weird.
It keeps saying "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone" which makes no sense because
1. I got the charger from the box it came with.
2. I switched it out with another from my at&t store.
3. It kept saying it so i went to apple and they exchanged it for me.
so there is no way my charger is "not certified".
I tried resetting it, turning off my phone completely and turning it back on after maybe 10 minutes, I checked for lint even though it's completely brand new, and I dismissed those messages a bunch of times (still doesn't work). I literally did almost everything that I could find on google but nothing is working.
The phone keeps on saying it's charging when it isn't when I plug it into the wall charger and for some reason it doesn't even say it's charging when I plug it in into my laptop.
It was working perfectly before (the past two-three days) but I don't know what happened.....

Your phone is under warranty, so if this is a hardware issue, you should be able to get the phone itself exchanged at no charge.
Backup your phone, then erase it and set it up as new. Does it still insist it's charging when it's not, there's a hardware fault with the phone and it needs to be replaced.

My macbook 13" black is not charging, even though the light is green

My Macbook 13" black (early 2008) is not charging. The charger indicator light turns green immediately when I plug it in, but the charge remains at 0%. It has a charge cycle of 207. I've tried calibrating it but to no avail. Can someone help?

Did you check your battery with an application, called Battery Health?

Iphone 5 not charging blinking empty battery, lightning bolt and plug

My battery went low, to 1% and kept working for about 30 minutes.
When I got home it was showing the "charge me now".
Now its just blinking "charge me" for 4 seconds, going black for 4 seconds.

Hi,
No one contacted me, but I figured it out on my own.
Apparently it does this when there is a connection to the charger that isn't making full contact on all pins.
Sooo.. I realised this by applying slight pressure to the lightning connector, and it started charging.
I propped some weight and let it charge overnight.
The next night, this trick would no longer work :(..
I figured maybe lint from my pocket got inside the lighting port on the iphone?
Got a flashlight, sure enough.. Lint.
So I fished it out with something small like a paper clip.
Fixed it immediately.

The wi-fi on my iphone 6 is "locked", even though the password correct and has been accepted. How do I unlock it so I can get back on the 'net?

Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
StraightTalk is not a supported carrier... not all features may work.

Is the silent switch on the side of the iphone on?

NO power on my MacbookPro: it all started with Battery of my MacBook Pro saying it was not charging (even if the pro was plugged) and it then switched off and now wont turn back on. There is no light on the magsafe and no startup noises at all.

If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, give them a call and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

FF tabbar does not appear even though the option is checked.

I just got a new hard drive and installed FF 12 and transferred my profile. My profile was from FF 11 and I just hadn't gotten around to updating. My profile and everything works fine so far, but every time I start FF the tabbar is not there. I must manually go under view and check tabbar each and every time, even though the option "always show tabbar" is checked under tools>options>tabs.

See if you have selected '''Remember passwords for sites ''' in '''Options window''' > '''Security panel''' > '''Passwords''' session.

The opened web pages are not correct even though the address in the link roperty is correct. The web page opens a blank page and says "Done"

When I search for a web sites, it gives a list of connected web site.
If I click a particular web site, it immediately opens a blank page and says"done" at the bottom of the page. The opened web address is wrong even though the link property shows the correct address.
What is wrong?

Is the lightning bolt symbol suppose to blink while the battery is charging on the iphone with new iOS7 Software?

After downloading the iOS7 software my battery was having MAJIOR issues. Issue #1 Phone does not keep charge, #2 my iphone no longer accepts a charge from wires that are 3rd party(meaning a lightning bolt charger that is not made by apple), #3 Once the phone reaches 100% i will sometimes keep it on the charger as I use it but as I am using the phone on the charger, the percent of the battery starts to decrease as if it was not on the charger. #4 The lighning bolt DOES NOT blink while charger and it does not disappear once the phone is fully charged so it looks like the phone is still charging. Can someone please tell me what I should do and is it normal for the lightning bolt to blink while charging and disapear once the charge is full??

Can you shutdown the computer (Mac I suppose), then do the SMC reset and after that a PRAM reset (without the iPhone connected, also disconnect all external devices).
SMC reset for computers with no removable battery:
1. Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
2. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option(Alt) keys and the power button at the same time.
3. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
4. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Test the iPhone (with all other external devices still disconnected), still the same issue? If yes,
do the PRAM reset:
1.Shut down the computer.
2.Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3.Turn on the computer.
4.Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5.Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6.Release the keys.
Test the iPhone (with all other external devices still disconnected), still the same issue?
If yes, disconnect the iPhone and test if everything is ok with sevral external devices connected, if OK: It may be a failure in the iPhone.
If no, there maybe an issue with the USB of the mac. But: you have to test by starting in another account in which you onle start iTunes and no other programs. It might also be a software failure of a user program.

After upgrading my iPhone to new 5.1 iOS, and reloading all of my files back in , my music appears to be in the phone, but when I press play, the music does not play, even though the pause button is now lit.

After 6 hrs. Of upgrading to 5.1 iOS , and reloading all data my music will not play. The music was reloaded from iCloud, and shows up in library, but will not play.

Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
Have you tried each of these?

I have recently aquired my husbands iphone4 but when i send a mail it still has his name on it not mine even though the hotmail account etc is changed

I have just aquired my husbands iphone 4 but when i send an email it still comes up with his name as the sender even though i have changed the hotmail id etc

I said that rather confusing.
He has a 25 dollar balance in credit due to a gift card we redeemed.
He purchased something in an app he got and it did not seem to deduct it from his
available credits.
basically i want to make sure the credits will be used before my card was ever charged for anything.
does the app store use available credits before resorting to the credit card on file?
thanks

My iPad doesn't seem to charge when plugged in to my MacBook Pro if the MBP goes to sleep. My iPhone continues to charge even if the MBP is closed. Is that normal?

My iPad (3rd Gen) seems to stop charging if it is plugged into my MBP if either the iPad is closed or if the MBP goes to sleep. My iPhone charges whether the MBP is awake or asleep or even if the MBP is closed. There is a screen display that shows the iPhone is charging. The iPad only has the tiny icon at the top of the screen that show it is charging. However, the battery's % charged does not increase if the lid is closed when I am charging the iPad if the lid is closed on the iPad or if the iPad off after pressing the on off button. Is this normal?

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. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

Push notifications for specific apps not working even though the badge updates (Facebook, Google etc.)

So this has been happening for months now. I was expecting iOS 5 to fix it, but it hasn't. Push notifications for specific apps do not work. Some come through just fine, but Facebook and Google+ in particular don't work correctly. Facebook push notifications seem to work when the notification is generated from an action performed on a mobile device (ie: someone writes on my wall from another iPhone); if they do the same thing on the desktop, the notification doesn't seem to come through.
As for Google+, I've never seen a single push notification come through as it should, even though I've seen other iPhones with the same app reciving these notifications with no issue.
This is particularly strange because the badge on the app icon usually updates (though it feels like fetch, not push), but the notifications simply don't make it into the notification center (or on the lock screen as they should). As I said, this has been happening for months, long before iOS 5, and the problem has persisted now that I'm running iOS 5.
I've checked and rechecked all notifiation settings for these apps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled them. I've called Apple support and they couldn't offer me any help. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
Thanks for your time.

I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems. I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well. I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix. I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account. I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
Any thoughts?
