New ipad2 doesn't charge properly!!!

I bought ipad2 for 3 weeks. I try to recharge it but it doesn't charge properly. The signal is always red, so i don't know due to the cable, adapter or ipad2 itself doesn't pass quality check. What should I do?

You should try plugging it into a wall socket rather than a computer to charge it. The USB port on many computers doesn't have enough power to properly charge the iPad, though even these usually do some charging while the iPad is dormant.
If plugging it into the wall doesn't work, you can refer to this document:

9320 battery doesn't charge properly

I have a .month and a half old 9320 and the Battery doesn't charge properly and is clearly alto. How do I et a replacement sent out?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Typically, this would be a warranty issue...and your warranty is serviced by whoever you agreed that to be when you purchased your device. Normally, that's the original place of purchase (which might also be your mobile service provider) or an authorized service center -- it varies by region, so check your original purchase documentation for your specific warranty provisions as well as methods of exercising it. Keep in mind that BlackBerry provides no first level support for anything...including warranty...all support starts with other parties, who can escalate to BlackBerry if needed.
Good luck!

I bought a new ipad2 yesterday and charged the battery and then expected to get going with it but the screen only displays an image of a ubs connection with an arrow pointing to a itunes symbol. I downloaded itunes on a PC and plugged in the ipad to it but nothing changed on the PC or ipad. very frustrating. anyone else experience this or have know how or ideas to help me?

Here is my standard reply, some of which may have no relevance to your situation. Start with trying different USB ports, even a numbe of times.
1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

Brand new ipad2 doesn't the camera have settings the photos are all grainy

Can anyone tell me if something is wrong with my new ipad2. The camera pictures are awful. I thought that they were suppose to be clear not grainy

The iPad camera is at best "mediocre". If the the lighting conditions are perfect (outside), pictures may be passable. Other than that they won't be great.

New ipad2 doesn't have Newsstand app.

Got a new Ipad2, there is no Newsstand app. I have synced it to Itunes so everything is up to date. Have used Newsstand on iphone so I expected to see it on Ipad. I have 4 current mag subscriptions that come with a digital copy.

Is your iPad running IOS5?

The new iTunes doesn't maximise properly

Sometimes, when I open the new iTunes and maximise the window, it does not maximise properly (a part of it goes beyond the screen). Does anyone know the reason?

Hi there,
I've also noticed that and it's a pain.
If you maximise the screen and exit out of iTunes (X key), when you restart it, it opens up as you left it but when you press the resize key, it maximises out of the current screen. But if you resize the screen (so it's not maximised) and then exit, once you restart it, the size problem has gone.
So when I wanted to exit the application, I would always resize it so that it wasn't maximise screen size, and then once I restarted iTunes at a later time, the resize problem would not occur.
HOWEVER, yesterday I updated my iTunes and I don't get this problem anymore (yet) !!

My iphone5 will not charge ! I bought a new charger recently after my old one stopped working, the guy said because the wire got scrunched but i had recieved it like that, and now even the new one won't charge properly.

I recieved my iphone in October right after is what released. It worked beautifully until recently in earlier January I realized that my phone charger would only charge it in certain positions and it had to be held there. Then one day it stopped charging all together, I took the charger to the Sprint store and the guy explained that its because the charger got scrunched up to the top and I had to purchase a new one for $30. I have been using the charger for the past 2 weeks and it has been working fine. Now it won't charge unless I hold it in certain postions again!. I don't know if it's the phone or simply the chargers. My phone is in perfect condiiton, protected and all and so is the new charger.. someone give me advice please. I am so desperate ..

This is the best picture I can take because I used photobooth on the mac book pro to take this and it automatically flashes, but if you can see that the area near where it goes into the phone is scrunched up. It keeps happening to me and I do not bring my phone charger anywhere.

New ipad2 doesn't recognize my Canon EOS xti camera to download photos

When I connect my Canon EOS xti to the Ipad2 via a cable connection, nothing happens.
Occasionally, a message comes up stating the device is not supported. Any suggestions?

The SD card is the easiest fix, but there's something in the settings to make the camera visible. I just can't recall what I've read. It has something to do with pict bridge or some other communication settings. You could try fiddling with those.
That said, honestly? My experience connecting my camera to my device is that it does a bit of battery drainage. I always use a card reader but it is a personal preference thing.

IPod doesn't charge properly

My daughter plugs her iPod into my iMac to charge and it charges just enough to work and then stops charging. Then she can play with it for a few minutes and it will warn her to plug it in to charge it even though it IS still plugged in. This has been going on for months, though inconsistently. What's going on?

- 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. Could be the battery is bad.

Phone doesn't charge properly

Phone keeps beeping as it charges. I have to hold the cable at a certain to charge it. It charges very slowly. What can I do to fix it?

Shinna83, thanks for those details. Have you tried using a different charger? Are you connecting that charger into a wall outlet or a computer/laptop?

Power button on brand new iMac doesn't work properly?

Hello,
I am having problems with the power button on my brand new iMac which was purchased 2 weeks ago. Some days I press the power button and everything works fine. And then some days, I get no response from the power button. I then just unplug and replug the power cord from the surge protector back in and then the power button works!
I also shut down every night - I don't put the computer to sleep.
Can someone tell me what is going on? I've searched these message boards and see old post from others out there have also dealt with problem.
Any advice or insight would be most helpful! Thanking you in advance.

A couple of things first your machine has a 1 year warranty and is covered by 90 days of complimentary AppleCare. You should contact AppleCare to get the machine fixed.
Next please carefully read your owners manual, below is what Apple specifys,
"If you'll be away from your iMac for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When your iMac is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your iMac and bypass the startup process."
Personally I only let the monitor sleep, my system has been running like this for 4 years and is the most reliable computer I've ever owned.

My new Ipad2 doesn't display any pictures during slideshow, although the music plays fine.

I recently received an ipad 2 as a birthday gift from my wife, just before we hopped across the Atlantic to Europe (we wanted to make sure it worked well). Now that we're here and I am fiddling with it more, I have found that when I play the slideshow feature either from the photos app or using the little flower icon on the lock screen, I cannot actually see any pictures. The selected music plays during the slideshow, but there are no images displayed.
How can I correct this problem? I'm a little concerned about our location, because if I have to return it for warranty, I'm going to be challenged due to my location. I'll be here for months, so I can't just wait until I go back...

Verified - all photos is checked. I tried a few other iterations without any positive results. In all cases, the screen fades to black and displays nothing.
Upon tapping the screen, I can see that it has progressed through several photos during the time the screen is dark. This is interesting...indicating that the program is running, but without a proper display.
This is an important feature for me.

Lenovo G550 does not charge properly.

Well, hello everyone.
I have been experiencing a problem with my Lenovo G550 lately. It doesn't charge properly and at most cases, I have to charge it when it's turned off. When I start up my laptop and as soon as I get to the Windows login screen (or not even up to the loading screen), the power LED starts to blink. I log in to see the laptop not charging. I have tried everything you'd usually do such as, turning the laptop off and on after awhile, removing the battery and putting it in after a few minutes or maybe even an hour, check the charger, take the charger in and out of the laptop and even letting the laptop rest for awhile without the charger or battery in. Sometimes even after all that, it seems like it still doesn't charge. Sometimes it does charge when turned on, although, only charges for a few minutes and stops charging. Even when switched off, sometimes, it doesn't charge properly either.
If you know anything that would fix this, a suggestion or if you know why I'm having this problem, please reply to this.
Ah, silly little computer.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have a friends laptop hoping to fix a common issue (or as I thought) of a broken power adapter socket. Without the battery in place when you plug the ac adapter in you get no lights and when you press the power button nothing happens.
Upon disassembly and also with the use of the internet I found that Lenovo actually has a nice setup where the yellow socket is removable retained by a single screw, with a pigtail and plug for the main board. So I pin tested the plug using an ohm meter and it tested good. Then I reattached the plug to the motherboard and tested it using the ac adapter and got 20V between both blue and black terminals. Then flipped the board over and I got the same results on the pins on the back of the board so power is getting to the solder points. But that is where the trail went cold.
Anyone have any ideas? I won't recommend her to buy a new motherboard at this point of even go to the expense of having it checked out which would exceed the value of this unit.
I am thinking there is a voltage regulator somewhere in between the battery and the mainboard power that might be the cause but that is above my electronic prowess.
One thing I can say is if this is not a simple fix I will guide her to look to another brand for a replacement. I have it stripped down to the mainboard and tempted to reassemble it to see if it really does charge the battery but just doesn't let you know via the charge lamp. I do know it won't run without the battery pack which has a little power left but saving it for now.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Steve

HT4060 My iPad 3(newest) doesn't charge when plugged into either outlets or the computer

My new iPad won't charge properly. It seems to taking Barry long time just to gain 1%

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.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
