My recently purchased IPad Air is not accepting it's own charger. It says the device is 'not certified'. Is there anything that I can do? It is the charger supplied with the iPad when purchased!

I recently purchased an IPad Air and it has been working fine for around 5 months. All of a sudden it has stopped charging and when I plug the charger in it displays a message saying,'this device is not certified and may not work correctly' (or similar). To be clear the charger is the same one that was supplied at time of buying the product and has worked fine up until now. I am loathed to buy another one as I have taken it back to where I got it from and tried a new cable and this did not work. Can anyone offer any advise? Thanks.

Ultimately if those things do not get it to work... the circuit board may be toast.
I've been hearing lately that people are having the same issue with their iPhones, a friend's experience with apple tech support in the store resulted in that explanation, and he was told to buy a new phone since it was over a year old.
good luck!

  • Is there anything that I can do to remove a stuck disk from the cd drive?

    I have an install disk that will not eject from my Macbook Pro.  Is there anything that I can do myself?

    Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
    First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
    If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
    Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
    If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
    Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
    Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
    Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
    Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
    If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

  • I have an ipad that only has wifi and I am unable to connect because all the networks are locked for access.   Is there anything that I can attached to my ipad that will make it possible for me to access the internet

    I need help.  Just purchased an ipad with wifi service only.  Is there anything that I can get that will allow me to access the internet.  I keep getting network connections that have a lock which makes it unable to log on.  Picking up numerous with sites with the lock.  Help did I make a mistake in getting this ipad.  If so, can I trade it in for one that is more network friendly.

    If you expect to use a WiFi only iPad it needs a wireless network. It is customary to have your own versus using someone else's.
    Nothing is more network friendly than an iPad.
    You couldn't possibly have expected to sponge off a service someone else is paying for?

  • I was updating my ipod and had to stop it so held down the power and home buttons. Now my ipod is frozen with the apple logo showing. The computer will not recognise it so it will not charge or restore. Is there anything that I can do myself?

    I was updateing the software on my ipod through the wireless straight to the ipod and had to stop so held down both the power and the home buttons. Now the screen is frozen with the apple logo and the normal 'unfreeze' technique won't work. The computer does not recognise the ipod so will not charge or restore it. Is there anything that I can do myself?

    Unplug it and let unit go dead. Then hold your Home button down and plug the USB power cord back in. iTunes should see it and then restore.

  • My phone turned off over night and will not turn back on even when plugged in, is there anything that I can do?

    My phone turned off over night and will not turn back on even when plugged in. Is there anything that I can do?

    If you've left the phone plugged in for at least a half-hour with no results, then try holding power and home buttons simultaneously to do a soft reset (settings) only. If that doesn't work, try seeing if iTunes will recognize the device and let the computer charge the device.

  • HT1491 I downloaded 21 jump street on my IPhone and it has been two days and it is still not downloaded and seems to be frozen at "processing," is there anything that I can do to make the movie download or get my money back?

    I downloaded "21 Jump Street" on my IPhone and it has been two days and it is still not downloaded ans it seems to be frozen at "processing," is there anything that I can do to make the movie download or get my money back?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • My imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ?

    my imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good, sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ? Is there software available to tune up my imac?

    If this is Internet related, the slow downs can be caused by increased user activity on your ISP's server.
    The more people on your ISP's server doing things on the Internet, the slower your connection will be.
    Is there certain times of the day when you notice  the Internet is slow?
    If so, that's probably the reason.
    Also, do you share a connection with anyone else? Either on WiFi or Ethernet?
    That will slow your connection, too!
    Do you know what your Internet download speeds are?
    Not a high enough bandwidth and slow downs will be more evident.
    If on a WiFi, is the router you are you using 802.11 B, G, or N speeds?
    Might be time from a newer, faster router?

  • Things my WM 6.1 phone did that I can't find a way to do with the iphone

    Hi All iphoners
    I have a small list of things that I can't find a way to do with the iphone. I was hoping that someone would be able to help me with this. I know there must be a way to do these but I just have not found it yet.
    here they are:
    Play video clips from my favorite news web sites.
    search my contacts by just typing the name from anywhere in the contact list
    Play music and sounds thru by stereo bluetooth headset
    Sync my notes and tasks from outlook
    setup different tones and alarms for new e-mail, new SMS, so on
    voice announcement of who is calling if the caller is in my contacts
    Download document to the phone, word, PDF, so on
    Mark all e-mail as read with one button
    place call from calendar if phone number is in appointment
    Beam files from one phone to another
    Picture mail
    Rotate e-mail while ready e-mail. this works for web pagers but not e-mail
    thanks for all the help
    Bill

    depending on who your "favorites" are, they might have an app in the app store which includes videos
    search my contacts by just typing the name from anywhere in the contact list
    theres a search bar at the top of the contacts list. you type, it searches.
    Play music and sounds thru by stereo bluetooth headset
    sorry, can only be achieved via devices such as the Sony TMR-BT8iP (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XRW09Y)
    setup different tones and alarms for new e-mail, new SMS, so on
    all but SMS is not customizable for now. but even with SMS, you can only choose from those available.
    voice announcement of who is calling if the caller is in my contacts
    my suggestion is to set a particular ringtone for that person. OR, you can always record yourself saying that person's name, convert it to a ringtone, and use that. (if you dont know how to create your own ringtone, a quick search on this forum should help you out).
    Download document to the phone, word, PDF, so on
    Beam files from one phone to another
    look for "Air Share" in the app store.
    Picture mail
    it can, you have to do it from the photo, not email tho.
    i dont have an answer for the ones i left out. sorry. hope these help.

    Something is wrong with your charger or cable.

  • All the photos on my iphone disappeared. Is there anything that I can do?

    There has been a glitch on my iphone where all the photos in my album duplicated itself. So I decided to take the time to delete all the duplicates. Now, all the photos are gone, and I tried plugging it into my Windows computer to restore to the previous backup. As I plugged the phone in, I quickly cancelled the automatic sync. But the back up that shows up on itunes is the back up that was created as I plugged the phone in today. Is there anything I can do to get my photos back ?

    What photos?
    Photos that you synced from your computer to iphone should still be on your computer.
    Camera Roll photos ( taken with iphone)?  You should be importing these regularly to your computer as you would from any digital camera.  If for some reason you have failed to do this, then you would have to be able to restore from a previous backup where the pics were present ( if on exists).  Otherwise they are gone.  Import regularly.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I purchased my Adobe Photoshop (6) a long time ago. Is there anything that I can do to my computer or the disc to install and run it on a Windows 7 operating system?

    I have installed it from the disc many times on every new machine that I have gotten and Adobe helps me with updating. But now I can't install it on the 7 operating system and the oldest installer that I can download from Adobe is for Shop 7. Does anyone have any suggestions or a way to contact Adobe?

    I had no idea that Adobe's customer service had become so distant and
    support was hard to get. It seems like all I had to do was just install
    from my old disc onto any new machine, and it would instantly connect to
    Adobe and start downloading updates.....until I ended up with Photoshop
    7.0. Now they don't have anything on the website that provides support that
    far back. It's a shame because Photoshop is still a darn good product. With
    so many options and features, it enables to do so much to photos and
    assists in design. In my opinion they just don't have a replacement for it,
    I don't need all the other stuff for webpage design and storage space on
    their server for any photos, art designs, business cards.....I have a lot
    of storage space (extra external hard drives).
    Thanks again, I guess I'll look for another program....

  • Hi there I have a MAJOR problem..... I recently lost my iphone4 I never had it set up for ICloud. I now have an iphone5, is there anyway that I can retrieve the photos on to my iPhone 5?

    Is there anyway I can retrieve the photos n contacts onto my iphone5???

    ONly way is to restore from backup http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If you imported the pics from your camera roll to your computer, you can sync it back using itunes.
    If you don't have either, then sorry there is no way to get those photos on your phone.

  • Is there anything that you can do to fix a pdf that was created with the wrong orientation?

    Someone sent me 40-page pdf created from a document with landscape orientation that was output with portrait orientation. The pages are clipped off on the right and left. There is no way that I can see that you can change the orientation in Acrobat Pro and if it is converted into a Word document you can see most of the text, but there is still some missing, especially where there are tables. I don't have access to the original document. I was just curious if there was a way around this?

    Thanks, that is what I figured. Just thought I would ask. Some of the text that was clipped off did appear when the pdf was converted into a word file, but not all of it.

  • HT1338 I cant get my iphone 5 to be compatible with my mac book pro. I've been trying to update my itunes but it wont let me because it tells me i dont have the right software is there anything that I can do so I can sync my phone to computer?

    I cant get my iphone 5 to be compatible with my mac book pro. When I plug the iphone 5 in it tells me that i need a newer version of itunes 10.7 and I currently have 10.6. I checked for updates in my itunes and it says i dont have any. So i have gone to the itunes website to try and redownload itunes which i believe it 11.7. When I try and download that version it tells me the software on my computer doesn't suppor that version. I try to update my software and it says there is not software updates available right now.  Is there anyway I can get my iphone 5 to synce to my itunes?

    In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.
