My shuffle is blinking orange and won't charge

My ipod shuffle is blinking orange and won't charge.

Blinking orange means "do not disconnect." It may or may not be fully charged.
If you have the shuffle set to Manually manage music or Enable disk use, the light will blink orange until you eject the shuffle. This is because, with those setting, the system has continuous access to the iPod (as a "disk"), so the iPod is technically "in use," even if it is just sitting there.
To eject the shuffle, there is a small eject button (it has a triangle with a line under it) next to the shuffle's name in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Click that button to eject the shuffle. If the battery is fully charged, the lighit should turn solid green (not blinking). Not blinking means "OK to disconnect" it from computer.

G4 ibook won't turn on the power cord stays orange and won't charge the bat

I plugged my g4 ibook in and it turned the computer
off, I am in Ghana and used a surge protector but
think this might be the reason. I have tried
resetting the PMU and the orange indicator light on
the power cord blinks green when I do this but then
nothing happens. The battery on the bottom only one
light lights up when pushing the battery button. Has
anyone else had this problem.
In addition I removed the battery and the power indicator light went to green without the battery in and the power in it, but absolutely nothing. Replaced the battery and nothing. Please help I am in Ghana, and have no way to get help!!!

Hey Ryan,
Can you hear drumming [I studied with a Ghanian master from the Univ. there for 5 years and have a few hand carved djembes which are awesome].
I'm hoping that will divert you because you're not likely to find a new adapter there but that's undoubtedly the problem. I bent the prong on one slightly and it did the same thing, it's possible yours is like that. If you don't have any knowledge of it being bent it probably happened inadvertently, so you might try letting it sit out in the hot African sun until the gold is very malable then just run your fingers round the prong very lightly try to align it. I tried all night and this didn't work but it did get the thing closer so it might work for you.
Here's a link to a very good price where I got my replacement and it's good $38: http://store.shentech.com/ap24v145wsqs.html

The battery's probably drained and the power brick on the fritz. Unfortunately, if she won't start there's little we can do for software-based diagnosis. You'll have to take it in to a Store or Service Provider for assessment.

HELP! My ipod is frozen on and won't charge!

Hello!
My ipod is completely frozen and won't charge. It is stuck on a picture of a folder with an exclamation point(!). I reset it several times and it just goes back to this picture. I have tried to charge it but it seems to not connect to my computer because the battery does not come up and my ipod icon does not appear in my itunes. I tried to charge it on another computer and it would not charge on that one either. I updated my itunes but still nothing. Restoring seems kind of extreme (losing ALL of my songs!!) so I was hoping I could fix this problem without having to do that! Can anyone help me or has this happened to anyone else? Suggestions are welcome! Please Help! =)

Do you have a windows or a mac computer?

If you have a pc, does the iPod appear as a drive in "my computer"?

So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge.

So I have a MacBook Pro 2013. That won't turn on and won't charge. When the charger is plugged in the light remains green as if it is fully charge. Before it died the laptop still recognized the charger but wouldn't charge. And now won't turn on.

If you've a 2013 model, depending on when you purchased the machine, I would suppose that you're still under warranty or at least purchased AppleCare? Regardless, I would take the kit to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the computer (and, if you're still under warranty, fix the computer) and, if necessary, give you an estimate for repair.
There are all sorts of things that could be wrong - a faulty adapter, bad cabling, even the entire electrical circuitry may have gone bad.
You won't know unless you had an Apple tech look it over.
Good luck,

My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this?

My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this? Before it died, it said I had a full battery whenever I charged it, but as soon as it came off of the charger, the battery level was always under ten per cent.

Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced.

My MacBook Pro battery is empty and won't charge, but charger is fine

My MacBook Pro battery is empty and won't charge. I did the PRAM reset when there was still some power left in the battery. The charger indicator light doesn't come on when I connect it to MacBook Pro, BUT it works just fine with my old white Mac book. This happened a few times before, and unplugging and plugging the adapter into the MacBook pro helped. Now nothing happens no matter how many times I reset the charger. Is there anything else I can do?

More than likely you need a new battery.

First, I've read the manual. This new Nano won't sync and won't charge. Itunes does recognize the device. When it's connected to a Windows PC, the battery indictor shows charged. When it's not connected, the indicator shows no charge. I've tried this on t

Maybe the Nano you got is defective. Have it replaced.

I lost my Ipod and found it but it died and won't charge

I lost my Ipod and found it but it died and won't charge

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

HT2101 My i Phone 4s suddenly takes hrs to charge and won't charge fully

My 4S suddenly takes hrs to charge (>12) and won't charge fully . No recent trauma, new downloads or unusual activity - any ideas?

Dependant on the age of your iPhone 4S it could be the battery is failing. You could take it to an Apple store or AASP for evaluation.
Also worth trying a re-boot. Press and Hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo then release. You will not lose any data.

My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life!

My iPhone 4 is completely dead and won't charge, turn on, no signs of life! What to do???

Was late to work because my alarm didn't go off on my iPhone this morning! (4 w/ IOS 5) When I woke up, I went to check my phone and it wouldn't turn on; so I plugged it in to the charger and no response. I left it plugged in while I was getting ready...came back a shortwhile later...still no signs of life. At that point, I held both buttons for several seconds and the apple logo appeared and the lock screen displayed shortly thereafter. And what's odd, is that it showed that I had about 80% of battery life left. So it seems like something else caused it to shutdown completely. One note though...I updated to IOS 5 on Sunday...and I've used my phone ever since with no problems. So this is the first time this has happened since the update.
In looking at a thread on another site, I found this excerpt from an alleged beta tester back in June...and it was in reference to the iPad 2 with IOS 5, but seemed plausible enough to share here:
Issue: "Hey guys, whenever my iPad 2 is locked for a while, it wont wake from sleep. I have to give it a hard reset. Is anyone else having this issue?"
Response: "I think I isolated the issue....make sure banner notifications are turned off for mail app. If the screen is locked and you get a mail it freezes up causing you to reboot. hope it gets fixed in the next beta!"
Follow-up: "Did it help you at all? I tried recreating every way I could think of with mail and never could. I'll turn of mail notifications for the rest of the night and see what happens."
"Hey Rick, yes it helped, my iPad no longer shuts off. I turned off mail banner notifications like Defender2010 said, and at least for now, it doesn't turn off anymore."

My original Ipad is dead and won't charge at all. I've tried numerous chargers. How do I know if the iPad is "broke"?

Aside from taking it in to a certified Apple Repair shop, this may be a sign that it is dead. Or there could some kind of damage to the connectors on the charge port. I am guessing on that part because I am assuming that the other chargers you have used work for other devices. It may be time to look into buying a new one if it is dead.

Charger light blinking orange and computer won't start up

My charger on my computer broke a couple days ago so I ordered a new one. While waiting for the battery to come in the mail, the battery on my computer went dead. Now I have the new charger and when I plug it into the computer it blinks orange but never gets a solid orange. Also, the computer will not fire up. Years ago I drained my battery dead and it took a little while charging before it fired back up. I'm hoping its the same problem but it has been over a hour now and still nothing. Anyone have any advise? Thanks

I just came back from the Apple Store. They think that the Logic Board is the issue and possibly other issues (They didn't say what).
Below is a chart of what they will charge me to fix it. This includes any defective parts, a 90 day warranty and re-imaging the machine I am told. This is far less expensive than I can do it myself for. I can't even find a logic board that is in stock for less than $449.
I will update you if this changes. I strongly encourage you to goto your local Apple Store and work with them and most of all be polite.
