My Mid '12 MBA won't charge anymore!

I don't know what the problem is or where it even lies, but as of this evening my MacBook Air (Mid 2012 model) simply will not charge. I've tried everything, from changing power sockets to thoroughly cleaning the MagSafe and restarting the laptop, which by now no longer has any power left to start. I've booked an appointment @ the genius bar but until then, do any of you have any tips/information that could might prove useful?

Hi..
May be time for a new battery.
You could try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Help! My IPod 4G won't charge anymore!

Before this incident, I would've had to tilt my Ipod in some position JUST to charge! But now, since I can't find the exact "position" for it to charge, my Ipod won't charge anymore. And plus my IPod died too.

Have you tried another cable?
Another USB port?
Another computer or wall charger?
Have you looked int the dock connector and iPod a looked for abmormalities like corrosion, bent contacts?

My iPhone 4 won't charge anymore, Help!!!!

Help!!!! my iPhone 4 won't charge anymore.. my iTunes doesn't even recognise it anymore, I've tried charging it from my computer and from the wall but nothing... don't know what to do. It was charging this morning but then i tried this afternoon and nothing happened, i really don't know what to do

Hey nankhalifa,
These are the recommended troubleshooting steps for when your iPhone isn't charging:
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Sincerely,

HT6154 Iphone 5s randomly won't charge anymore and won't recover or go into DFU mode

My Iphone 5s randomly won't charge anymore and won't recover or go into DFU mode. It died and it only shows the bolt symbol with the charger on the screen. When I plug in my charger the screen lights up but doesnt charge. I bought another charger to be safe and that didnt work either. My phone was working fine and this randomly happened

Carefully clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If still problem, iPhone 5S has Warranty, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.

HT4623 my iphone 3gs won't charge anymore.

My wife's iphone 3gs won't charge anymore even tho we leave it charging all night.

You can clean the iPhone's dock connector with an old dry toothbrush.
You won't know for certain, but if no change after making sure the dock connector port is clean, more than likely there is some damage.
Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby where it can be determined if there is damage to the dock connector port or if there is another hardware problem.

Hello Angelpz11,
I recommend this from our iPhone: Hardware Troubleshooting article found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802:
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter

My charging port on iPhone 4S is really dirty from previous owner. It's more than dust. It's affected the charging to where it won't charge anymore. How can I safely clean this out? Or will I have to go get it cleaned or something by apple? Thanks.

I bought my iPhone 4S from a friend and noticed right away that inside the charging port it's really dirty. It didn't affect anything so I didn't think much of it. Now though, it is not allowing my phone to charge at all. I've tried multiple chargers, adapters, and wall plug-ins and it doesn't change. It still won't charge. I'm not sure as to go about cleaning it. I don't want to scratch the part that connects to the charger. So how would I clean it, and would I need to just go to apple and let them deal with it?
Thanks.

Are you sure it is not corrosion/rust from moisture damage?

Battery won't charge anymore, charger light orange

for some unknows reasons,
my battery won't charge ,
the adapter light stay orange but the charge stay to 0%,
(or 40% for the brand new battery from apple store)
-i've tried to reset the PMU but no effect
-i've ordered a new Apple battery but no charging allowed,
it stay to 40% pre-charge when sector plugged or decrease the charge with only battery
the powerbook works with battery only or sector only, but charging the battery simply doesn't works.
-i've checked the charger, it works

-i've starded from a firewire harddisk with a new system : battery no charge
-i've made the test with the Apple Service diagnostic 2.5.7 CD
(nothing found)
then it is a logic board issue ??
for a almost 2 years-old machine it's a shame
what the procedure to follow in my country to diagnostic and fix ?
PWB ALU 17" 1.5 Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9)
PWB ALU 17" 1.5 Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Sorry to hear about your battery issue. When a battery appears to be failing, typically either the battery is bad or the logic board is misbehaving. You have a new battery and that didn't change the symptoms, you've determined the power supply is functional, and you've run the Apple hardware test from your OS X DVD and found nothing (the Apple hardware test tests the logic board). Do you know anyone with Applecare who has the TechTools Deluxe CD, that you could borrow to also test the logic board?
I don't expect this will fix it, however, you can also reset your PRAM/NVRAM by following the directions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238.
It sounds like you need to take your system to an Apple store for analysis.

Speakers that won't charge anymore??

Hi
I have got some speakers for my iphone, they used to charge it and play fine. Now they still play but they won't charge? My car charger still works and my USB. I tried the same speakers with a friend's ipod nano the other day and they wouldn't charge that either so I think it must be the speakers. Any ideas if this can be fixed? Thank you.

I would say that the speakers are the problem here and not the phone. If the speakers are under warranty I would try to get them fixed.

I phone 4s won't charge anymore only 8 wks old and after the update we just got to do

My I phone 4s is 8 weeks old. I did the os update a few days ago and today when i went to use my phone it said it was low on charge. I tried plugging it in to the computer no help. I used my wifes cord from her I phone and still no good. My wifes phone charges on both cables and she also did the os update at the same time. I called verizon an after some trouble shooting with them they passed me over to a different tech support. They told me that about 2 out of every 10 I phones get this problem and they will have to send me a new one in the mail. Wow 20 pct of the I phones have this issue. So now i'm assuming that I'm not going to be able to get my contacts or pictures out of this phone. I'm just wondering if it was caused by the os that I upgraded too but all the post i see on line are of the battery draining faster than before havn't found a post about this issue

You can call Verizon to replace it or go to an applestore to replace it since it won't even power on with multiple chargers.

Nano 5th won't charge anymore

Have had iPod Nano for a few years, suddenly charger makes sparking sounds and/or doesn't charge. I've seen many posts but they are mostly about new charges/iPods or other problems. Mine worked fine and now doesn't. I can charge it by connecting to laptop, also have a car charger that I will try. Meantime any comment appreciated.

Have you tried a different USB sync cable to help rule out a faulty or damaged cable? Make sure it is an Apple branded one as third party cables often lead to all sorts of issues.

HT4993 My phone won't charge anymore

My phone has stopped charging, it can't go past 56%. I have been trying to get answers for a couple days now, my battery sometimes will jump to full charge, or then instantly back down to 10%... Like it can't figure out how much it has left. I have taken it into the Apple store and they turned it on for me after it died and i couldn't. They suggested a DFU restore if problems continued... As they did i finally did a restore today and it did not fix it. Is there a way to fix it? I have not had this phone for more then a couple months... I doubt the battery is already destroyed. Could it be a defect? Will Apple replace that or my Sprint carrier? I simply would like to know all the neccesary information to get my phone back to normal. Thanks!

Take your cable with you, if you are using the same cable in all three cases. If that has failed, you'd get the same results.

Battery won't charge even if AC adapter is on-line

I recently installed Arch on my R61 Thinkpad. I did not have any problem I couldn't solve until today when I noticed that my battery won't charge anymore.
acpitool's output is:
Battery #1 : charged, 95.85%
AC adapter : on-line
Thermal zone 1 : ok, 48 C
Thermal zone 2 : ok, 45 C
Battery level will not go higher than this percentage, but will get lower if I unplug the adapter.
I don't know what is the source of this problem.

how old is the battery? how often was it recharged? batteries usually lose capacity over time. try to discharge and recharge it completely.
