my macbook wont work unless it plugged in to the charger, how much would this cost to get fixed

you need to bring it somewhere to have it looked at to determine what is wrong with it.

My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
If that doesn't work...
Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

Volume and the volume buttons dont work unless headphones plugged in. Why?

my iPad's volume buttons dont work unless i have my headphones plugged in. Also my volume in general doesnt work because it says its still connected to a dock, but i dont own a dock. why doesnt the volume work or the speaker.

Keyboard and mouse wont work unless booted in safe mode.

So my keyboard and mouse wont work at all when i start up normally, so i coudnt even log on, then i tried safe mode and i was able to use the mouse and keyboard and log in, then when i loged in i got some messages:
*+System extention cannot be used+*
+The system extention "/system/library/extentions/IOUSBFamily.Kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the products vendor for an update.+
And 2 others: MicrosoftMouse.kext and msdosfs.kext
Im pretty sure how i got this problem, i was using bootcamp and i got this program called MacDrive (bad Idea)and it corrupted my HD or something so i had to use disk warrior to fix it. I also used disk utility in safe mode but there were no errors it said.
and this is probably a hardware problem but i cant use DVD's anymore, my drive will only read CD's now, must be broken....
so ya, i dunno what to do exept get my drive fixed and to a backup and reinstall OS...

Hi
There are no many options which could solve this problem.
It can be a hardware problem or software related issue.
Can you use the internal keyboard within the BIOS?
Check this.
If this would not be possible, I assume the hardware is faulty.
Additionally I recommend testing the keyboard and touchpad using the factory settings.
Recover the notebook and check if the keyboard would functions. Otherwise you will need an helps from an notebook technician in order to replace the keyboard and touchpad

Speakers won't work unless I plug in headphone - or mic.

I've spent 2 days looking on this forum and many others - and cannot find a solution to this problem .
Here is what I know.
I cannot get sound out of my speakers unless I plug something into a headphone or microphone jack. When I do that, it will play through the speakers AND the headphones - UNLESS - I plug a headphone into either headphone jack AND a microphone into the microphone jack. When I do that, it finally plays ONLY thru the headphones. Pull the microphone out - sound comes through the speakers. Take all of them out - no sound out of speakers.
Here is what I've done.
A complete rebuild back to factory settings.
A hard reset and BIOS default after removing the drivers and reinstalling the original driver for my machine as administrator.
A hard reset and BIOS default after removing the drivers and reinstalling the latest driver for my machine as administrator.
Disabling the communication headphones and reboot.
Enabling the communication headphones and reboot.
Did the Windows troubleshooting - nothing showing
Here are some other oddities.
The Audio Control appears to be calling my speakers Analog Jacks instead of Speakers ( a clue as to why all of this is happening ? )
If I'm playing music or a video and adjust the volume on, preview, or test the communication headphones - the music will come through the speakers briefly.
Sorry..it is a

Windows 7

While in the Audio control panel under Playback devices ,are the speakers listed at all? (sorry waiting for approval of you pic to display). If they aren't right click an empty space in there and choose 'Show disabled devices' .If the speakers show up as disabled right click and enable.

Where does it say "fully charged"?
I've never seen an iPod with that message, perhaps iTunes does display it.

That's wrong, iPods don't do that normally.
My guess is that you either have a bad battery, or the battery is not connected properly. Either way you have to return the iPod since you cannot do anything about the battery.

Another test would be to eject the iPod in iTunes but keep it connected, does it work normally? (it's difficult to connect the earphones with the USB cable connected but you can try just working the menu and moving around. What's the battery icon indicating?
After checking that it works with the USB cable connected, disconnect the USB (it's already ejected so you just disconnect the cable). Does it turn off immediately? if it takes a few seconds, then the battery is bad, if it just turns off then the battery is not installed correctly (also in the former case you will notice a few icons before it turns off).

Nearly unused 2nd gen 4gb wont work unless plugged into computer or dock

I have a 2nd gen 4gb nano that my sister won a yr and a half ago, but just gave to me recently and still new in the box until a few days ago. After plugging it in and getting the message to update my itunes I upgraded to the most current version of itunes 8 and let the ipod charge overnight. The next day it says it's fully charged and I sync a playlist from my itunes to it, but the ipod only turns on when plugged into one of the usb ports on my computer and my roommate's docking station. As soon as i unplug it, the ipod turns off and will not turn on. Any ideas as to what is wrong and/or how to fix this?

Lithium ion batteries need to be exercised and obviously this one didn't get any.
You'll need a new battery: http://www.ipodjuice.com or Google for other 3rd party sites.

Macbook only works with charger plugged in

Not been on my macbook for a week however I realised I left it on sleep for the week... When I have gone to put it on charge it won't charge up and only stays on if the adapter is plugged in?! I really need to get this sorted as I use it a lot for work and on the go

Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller? That is a good first step for power related issues such as this.
What is the status of your battery? Look in the System Profiler (Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info) under Power. If it says the battery needs replacing, you should do so.
Best of luck.

Tiger Macbook wont work with external superdrive

10.4.11 tiger on a macbook early 2007. The drive works fine on my mbp 2012. It wont even accept a disc, as it wont "suck it in" like its supposed to. in disk utility it does not show up.

Apple's external Superdrive will only work on MBAs and Mac Minis. It won't work on your MacBook.

My iphone 4s internet wont work unless i use wifi?

I have an iphone 4s on pay as you go, its on orange, I topped up my usual £15 which should allow me my 500mb of internet, It has worked before but when i topped up this time it wont allow me to go onto facebook, whatsapp ect: unless i connect to wifi, My 3G is on and when i took it to the shop they said to set it back to factory settings, which ive also done, ive put all my apps back on but still its not working i was wondering if i take it back to the orange shop or maybe to a apple shop would they be able to help? or anyone else know how to fix the problem?

Sounds like a carrier problem. I'd try working with Orange first.

MacBook wont work at all

After upgrading to Yosemite, my MacBook air will not work at all. It was purchased In 2013 but is not the newer edition of that year. Everything freezes up it takes 5 minutes to put in my password to sign in and then if I click on anything it just has the spinning beach ball the whole time and I just end up pushing the power button until it shuts down and I can turn it back on and I have done this at least 20 times please help. my MacBook is useless now.

Sounds like the hard drive has failed. You can take it to an Apple service center for diagnosis and repair or simply replace the hard drive yourself.

G70 120EA wont work with battery plugged in

Hello,
I have a HP G70-120EA which, for all intents and purposes, works fine, except when it comes to the battery.
If the laptop is turned off and the battery is plugged in the lights etc are there to show power from the adapter and the battery light is on, but the machine will not physically start up.
With just the mains plugged in and no battery the machine works without a hitch.
I have also tried plugging the battery in once it has started booting (before windows) in the hope it might kickstart the machine, but it will automatically turn off.
The machine is out of warrenty now (well over a year out), so no hope of returning it to HP for repairs.
Any help or suggestions is welcome, I am pretty comfortable with carrying out basic internal repairs if that might be a problem that any of you recognise.

Hi,
From your description it appears you've covered most of the troubleshooting described in this document:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00259897
I'd suggest taking a close look at the "Troubleshoot the battery" section and make sure you've covered it all, but if so, and it's still not working, it seems like it might be time to get a new battery. This document shows you how to identify and order the correct replacement part:
