My iphone isnt staying on and not charging.it also says its searching for a signal

Hi, my iphone for some reason has just stopped working. I have no idea what happened to it! My phone would not turn on, even when I plugged it in. So I came back to it 5 days later and plugged it in. It thankfully turned on, but when I unplugged it..it turned off. Wouldn't turn back on. When I plug it in,all it says is that it's searching for a signal. We have a signal here so I don't know why it's saying that. I have tried restarting it MANY times and it isn't working. When I plug it into my laptop, the iphone doesn't come up on Itunes. I'm not sure what to do now. Please can someone help me? Thank you!

Also,when I unplug the phone it doesn't on or do anything. When I plug it into my laptop, the apple sign keeps coming on and off.

    I have an iphone5 and it will not charge. the icon says its fully charged when its plugged in but the battery is steadily decreasing. i need some help

    This is often a feature of faulty battery. Try to Restore your iPhone with iTunes on your computer. See if better. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send your iPhone to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

    I just upgraded to a new MacBook and my wife is inheriting my old MacBook Air. How can I change the her MacBook Air to now be fundamentally hers? That is, so the House Icon under Users folder is her name and not mine? Also the default AppleID for purchase stubbernly remains my own.

    You do not mention it, but I will assume you are running OS 10.9.1.
    Go to: Apple menu / System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click the padlock and enter your password.
    Click the + (plus sign) and set up a new account for your wife. You have to enter a bunch of info. And then create the correct Login Options. Automatic login does not require a password from the selected user.
    When that is done, verify the account works by restarting the computer and login as your wife.
    Make sure that any applications in your own Users folder that will be needed are moved to the Applications folder in your wife's Users folder.
    Now go back to Users and Groups, click the padlock and authenticate, select your own account, and hit the - (minus sign). This step cannot be reversed, so you might want to wait a few days before doing it.
    When your wife is logged in, the App Store will know.

  • Iphone 5 being dead and not charging

    iv had my white iphone5 since this past christmas and just recently my charger broke so my phone stayed dead for 24 hours i went and bought a cheap charger it didnt work so after 48 i went and bought a more expensive one at walmart got it home and its been charging for about 30 or 40 mintues now and still nothing iv even tried the hard restart and nada is there something wrong ? HELP!!!

    No matter how expensive it is if it isn't a compatible charger it won't work. Charge it with a USB port on your computer, or get a real Apple charger. After charging for at least 30 minutes hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until something happens. Hold for up to a minute if necessary. If nothing happens after a minute your phone is broken. If an Apple logo appears let go of the buttons and the phone will reset. In any other message appears follow the instructions.

  • How smart is my mac? can use the AC adapter as a main power source and not charge the battery when its fully charged?

    does my mac use the AC adapter as the power source when its plugged in and the battery is full? is it smart to enough to split?

    The charging circuit charges until the battery reaches 100%, then shuts down the charging and goes to powering mode.  When the battery charge trickles down to 93-95% the charging circuit starts again and tops up the battery.  Will continue to operate like that if you leave it plugged in.  Keeping it plugged in does not harm the battery or risk overcharging.

  • My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer.  It will, however, charge to the car or wall.  The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.

    My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer.  It will, however, charge to the car or wall.  The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.  I've since deleted this podcast with no luck.  I've restarted both the phone and the computer, still no luck.  One computer is running Vista and the other Windows 7, both have the latest Itunes Update.  Anyone have a fix for this?

    Hi there 8472kck!
    I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. That information can be found right here:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    and that information comes from this article:

  • HT201263 I tried to reset my iPhone (3gs) with deleting all data. When it power off and automatically again on then it is showing Apple logo only. Not restore and startup my phone. I tried to charge and not charging. What I should do now?

    I tried to reset my iPhone (3gs) with deleting all data. When it power off and automatically again on then it is showing Apple logo only. Not restore and startup my phone. iPhone alerming low charge and I tried to charge and not charging.
    What I should do now?

    Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

  • Day after yesterday night, my iphone 4s full off, I don't know why? but not oppen and not charging. What do I do?

    Day after yesterday night, my iphone 4s full off, I don't know why? but not oppen and not charging. What do I do?

    Plug it in to power for at least 15 minutes.  If it doesn't automatically come on, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too

    My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too
    It shows only the battery charging sign when I will coonect to power connector and press menu button. But if I will put it for whole day or night too , It is not charging.
    Please tell me what I can do.
    I am so frustate.
    Please help me.
    Thanks

    Are you currently plugging it into a computer? If so, try plugging it into a USB power adapter. It's possible that you're trying to charge it from a low-power USB port, and that's not enough to sustain your phone and get it charging.
    If you're still unable to get it to charge, schedule a visit with your local genius bar at apple.com/retail

  • Seems the battery life "range" on my iPhone 4 is eroding and not holding charge, unlike when I first bought it.  I have "turned off" apps running in background...
