If it is totally dry:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

That's normal. Most USB ports dont' put out enough power to meet the iPad's requirements. (It says 'not charging' even though there is a trickle charge...it will charge over USB, but it'll take hours and hours)
Your iPad is best charged with the supplied charger plugged into the wall.

HT1766 I have a question. My husband and I both just got new iphones. I had mine plugged into the computer and it did a back up. My husband then plugged his into the computer. I need to use the charger so I removed his and accidently hit "back up as p

I accidently backed up my husband's iphone immediately after mine without selecting "set up as a new device". His phone is now all messed up and is set up just like mine. Is there a way to undue this?

Hello KerriSueotto,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If your husband had iCloud setup on the phone and was backing up to it, then he could restore from his iCloud backup.
He can check for a backup in the Settings of his iPhone.
iOS device
Tap Settings, and then tap the iCloud icon.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
From: iCloud: Managing your iCloud storage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847
Note: He may have to sign into the iCloud section of the iPhone Settings.
If there is a backup listed there, then use this article to restore from that backup.

HT4060 I have my iPad plugged into the wall, how come its not charging the battery?

How come my battery is not charging even though the iPad is plugged in?

The possible reasons could be....
1. Bad connector cable
2. Faulty power adapter/charger
3. Problem with the wall socket
4. Faulty dock connector opening
5. Something impeding the charge getting through - debris in the connector end of the iPad
6. Faulty iPad/corrupt software
Try another cable, another power adapter, another wall socket, and go from there. Nobody can just guess what the reason is, start eliminating some of the possible causes and go from there.

Why does my iPod Nano only work when it is plugged into the computer?

My iPod nana is a 4GB iPod and it does not work at all until it is plugged into my computer. It works perfect when it is plugged into the computer. It will not even turn on if it is not plugged in.

By the sounds of it, the Nano's battery is shot and in need of a replacement. You can have replace the battery for a flat fee or send it to a third party repair company for a little less.
Not much else you can do in terms of troubleshooting this issue.

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?
