My iPod (2G)'s cable won't go into my iPod's slot all the way.

The cable won't go into my iPod's slot all the way. I'm not really sure why it does this though. I mean the cable that connects to the iPod simply sticks out at the right end. Normally I shouldn't be able to see any of the metal that is the cable. Also I'm positive that the cable isn't broken, I've already tried my house mate's iPhone cable. It appears to sync alright but when I try to charge it it'll show that battery plug symbol inside the battery meter at the top right hand corner of the screen. What I mean by this is that my iPod's battery could show that it is about 50% full and when I try to charge it it'll say it's completely full. Any ideas on how to fix this? Should I call the support line?

Are you saying that the iPhone cable works right? Did the iPod cable ever work? Have you carefully compared the cable that did work with the one that did not work?

My ipod touch won't charge. I let it run all the way down, and now it shows a red empty battery, won't turn off or orn.

My ipod touch won't recharge after I let it run all the way down. It shows an empty battery with a tiny bit of red, and a spiky unblinking circle on the batery. I can't turn it off or slide the slider. I tried to charge it for 8 hours and nothing.

Lightning cable won't push into socket at base of ipad

I have had my ipad with retina display for two years and now the lightning to USB cable won't plug into the socket on ipad. I bought a new cable, thinking the old one was no good, but the new one won't push in either. John

I suspect that there is a damaged pin inside the Lightning port that is preventing your cable from seating properly. The bent pin on the original cable is the clue. Have an Apple technician examine the device and recommend options. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

My iPod is working but the charger won't go all the way in the charger slot to recharge it,someone please tell me want the problem can be. How can I fix this. Thank you

MMy iPod is workin,but my charger no longer fixes all the way in the slot to recharge it. Want should I do. Thank you

Hey Lynette1234, As UbuntuXP stated check and clean the port of foreign debris. Lint packed in the bottom of the charging port is most often the problem, This seems to be more of an issue with the lighting ports used on the iPod 5. The following will help you clear / clean the lighting port on an iPod 5. Try using a strong light and a magnifying glass to look into the port, using a soft brush to carefully remove any debris, if you must a non-conductive probe may be needed, I find a round wooden toothpick work well. Avoid touching or bending the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Damage them and you will have a costly repair. Also, make sure the silver lock springs (looks like silver bump on each end) on the short sides of the port are free to move, if not clear the debris. If the older 30 pin type, same thing avoid touching, bending the contacts, and remove all foreign debris. Many report a soft toothbrush works well or a toothpick. Avoid using solvents if the contact pins appear corroded, generally plugging / plugging the charger end , about 12 times will clean dirty contacts. If you must, a cotton swab cut to fit the port with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, (you want the swab damp, NOT wet or dripping), will remove most any corrosion. simply run the swab in and out as if you were plugging it in until the swab comes out clean. May need to use more than one swab. But check for lint / foreign debris first. Good luck. Cheers.

Why isn't my iPod (5th Generation) turning on all the way?

Okay earlier my iPod died and I plugged it in, while it was charging I was about to open my message app. Right when I clicked on it my iPod died or did something anyways. Now whenever I turn it on I just see the white apple logo for several seconds and the screen goes black again. I charged my iPod for about 5 hours so I don't think it's dead. I have tried holding down the home and power button together several times and it still hasn't turned all the way back on yet...and it wont connect to iTunes because it wont turn on all the way...what do I do?
( I haven't done the most recent update either so it's still iOS 8.1.2)

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 another cable
- 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.

Ear phone jack won't go in all the way

My earphone jack won't go in all the way. I've tried cleaning the hole with compressed air, and a Q-tip with rubbing alchol. Nothing seems to be working. Plus, my ipod is showing the headphones are plugged in, so I can't even listen to anything with the speakers.

Try looking inside the jack It appears something is stuck inside. Look at your headphones plugs. Maybe the tip broke off.
I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store before try the below since you may cause further damage

My Laptop Won't Start Up All The Way Anymore

Hi, I recently took a trip and stayed in a hotel room. On the coach bus on the way to the hotel, my laptop (and iBook G4) worked just fine (but couldn't access the internet, obviously). Once I got to the hotel, I realized they had free wireless. This didn't connect very well, so I plugged it into the Ethernet cable they had provided in the room. All was going well for a while. Then I restarted my laptop, and it wouldn't start back up completely. I can see my background, and if I move my mouse to the bottom of the screen, the Dock slides up as usual. But I can't run any programs from there, and my desktop still has no icons and the top menu bar won't come up. It's as if the operating system isn't loading all the way or something. Please help.
And in case this helps any more, the last thing I did was install a plugin pack for Quicktime. I got these off of the Quicktime website, so they should in theory be legit. I'm pretty sure they're compatible even though I have an old OS (I'm still running Panther), because I downloaded them BECAUSE of their use in Panther. So I don't know if this has anything to do with it. Did I maybe get a virus? I've always been told it's highly unlikely to get a virus on a mac.
Thanks.

Anthony:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
To reiterate what have always been told, it is very unlikely that it is a virus. There are no known viruses for Mac OS X in the wild.
Next, I don't think the software you downloaded is responsible for what you are experiencing.
First, try this:
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously later.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command + Option + P + R keys immediately after the startup chime.
• Hold keys down until you hear the startup chime for the third time.
• Release the keys and immediately hold down Shift key to start up in Safe Mode.
• Log in and empty Trash.
• Restart normally and log in.
If that does not help try Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
A few questions:
You have an iBook G4. What is the processor speed?
How much RAM do you have installed?
What is the total capacity of your internal HDD?
How much available capacity/free space do you have?
Is your internal HDD the one that shipped originally with the computer?
Do you have an up-to-date backup?
Do you have the original install disks?

G5 won't start up all the way with new monitor

My employer was getting rid of two 22" Viewsonic CRTs, so I figured I'd use one to upgrade my 19" monitor that's connected to my dual 1.8 G5.
When I connect either of the 22" monitors, the G5 won't startup all the way. It just hangs (although the mouse is movable) before the desktop appears.
Both monitors are operational and work fine when connected (via a VGA adaptor) to my macbook pro.
The G5 works totally fine when connected to my old 19" monitor.
Here's what I've tried:
• zapped the PRAM (numerous times)
• plugged the 22" monitor into a different AC outlet (in case it was sucking too much power to allow the G5 to boot fully)
• swapped the video card in the G5 with an identical one from the same model G5 at work.
Nothing helped. This is really perplexing. Why would the monitor keep the computer from fully booting?
thanks!

Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
As long as you don't have a USB connection in tandem with a Universal Power Supply, which can cause problems. Unplug the USB cable if you do.

Songs won't play through all the way

I just bought some songs from the itunes store yesterday and some of them won't play all the way through the song on my itunes or my ipod. How can I get my itunes and my ipod to play the whole song without having to rebuy the songs?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
ipconfig /flushdns
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now try your download music again.

Charger won't connect in all the way.

Hey, I have a fifth generation ipod touch. The charger won't connect in all the way. Plus it won't charge at all. I don't remember doing anything to it at all. My dad is usually the one that charges it for me in the morning. Do you think he put the usb the wrong way and forced it. I'm not sure why it's like this. I had a warranty thing. I never filled it out is it to late? I just got this about a few months ago.

Plug into what?
The iPod? The Ligntning connector plugs into theiPod ither way.
A USB port?

Earbuds won't plug in all the way

No sound because my earbuds won't plug in all the way. I was able to plug in an audio splitter and use the earbuds but can't get just the earbuds to work by themselves

If you have already tried pushing the headphone in as hard as you can until the white part touches the iPod Nano and you hear a click, take it in to your local Apple Store or AASP.

My headphones won't plug in all the way

My headphones of my 6th gen. nano won't plug in all the way. They will slide a little and then the sound will stop coming through my headphones, even when they are plugged in all the way I'm not getting all of the sound in the songs, any ideas, is it my nano or are all of them like this?

After iTunes update, email won't send, only receive. Email setup form won't open all the way.

What can I do to get the add email form to open all the way. It won't scroll down enough to let me enter outgoing mail server information. When I forced it by hitting the enter button and blindly fill in each box, it seemed to work; but when I checked my email, I found that I could receive mail but mail wouldn't send. It kept telling me I have the wrong user name or password, and of course I don't. This only started after the latest iTunes upgrade.
The other problem is that I need to set it up as a pop account and the only way I can get that option instead of iMap is to fool it by typing in one wrong letter on my email which I correct when the page comes up giving me both iMap and Pop options.
Anyone else having this scroll problem. It's only on my iPad 2 and no on my iPhone of iPod touch
