Not charging; it's beeping.

I have not charged my iPod for a little while, maybe a couple of weeks, and I haven't listened to it for around 3 days. I went to charge it tonight, and the apple icon showed up like a normal resetting. For a few moments, the backlight was on and it had the "Do Not Disconnect" symbol. Then, the nearly empty battery icon appeared. After about five minutes, my mini repeats the process, and for the few seconds it shows it us charging, my computer makes a BEEP-BEEP noise three times. I have tried different USB ports on my computer and the same thing is happening. I have never had this problem before, and I can't find anything about the iPod causing a beeping noise. I'm very confused.

r u kidding me? it just started chargin now, after that long question and everything.

Itouch will charge on wall charger, but will not charge or show up when I plug it into the computer. All I get is a double beep and nothing happens. I uninstalled and re installed itunes. I shut down the computer and shut down the itouch. What next?

I touch will not charge or show up on the computer. It charges on the wall charger. I uninstalled and re-installed itunes and I also restarted the itouch and the computer. What next?

Play it safe with the charging. Use the wall charger for at least an hour and then connect to the computer. If iTunes still denies that it exists, go here:

Major Drama...5G 60GB Video dismounting, not charging, corrupt & more!

Here is my situation. This is long, sorry in advance . I hope someone here has some insight.
As stated in the title I have a 5G 60 GB video ipod. I got it in March of 2006 when it was the replacement under warranty for my non-serviceable crashed 4G.
It has been in for several repairs under my extended warranty. First control wheel and headphone jack last May. Then hard drive crash (sadface error) in July 08. After I got it back that time, although in good working order it occasionally began dismounting itself from my computer. It was a pain because it still showed "Do not Disconnect" but would not be found in iTunes. So I would use the windows "safely remove hardware" function to remove it and then replug it and it would mount. It did this more and more frequently as time went on and sometime in Oct/Nov 08 I began getting the error message "Scan and fix Jen's ipod F". I looked it up and supposedly it is just a Vista glitch so I didn't worry about it.
It still worked OK so I did not take it in for repair over these minor issues. On Jan 31 09 the battery finally went, it would no longer hold a charge.
I took it in for repair and the battery was replaced. It took a while to get it back and I just got it back last Sunday March 1.
The day I got it back, I plugged it into the computer and after letting it charge for about 10 hours, began the work of manually transferring over my library. (I use disk mode and prefer to do this manually instead of just synching) I managed to transfer about 2K songs (IIRC about 15 GB) at this time and took it to work Monday. It was, of course, fully charged.
At work that day, I listened to music for about 6 hours. It worked fine, although the battery drained faster than usual (normally I get from 12-16 hours of use -music- before needing to charge). When the indicator got to red, I plugged it into the wall adapter for while. After about 1/2 hr the battery had not seemed to charge at all. I tried a different wall plug, no change.
At home I set it into my radio/ipod dock and after 5 hours it had not charged any in that device either. Finally I plugged it in to my computer via my USB and still nothing.
At this point I pretty much figured my new battery is defective, however a couple of days later I decided to troubleshoot a little deeper. I uninstalled/reinstalled the newest version of iTunes 8.02.20 on both my laptops. This time when I mounted it, it really wigged out. Since the battery was still going (but not charging) I tried transferring several songs over to see if that would work.
Right away it froze up. I tried to disconnect and of course no dice so I tried through Windows and got this message " Windows cannot stop your Apple ipod USB device because a program is still using it. Close any programs that might be using it and try again" So I close iTunes. Immediately before I can try to disconnect it, iTunes comes back up again, as it is obviously trying to mount. But when it does, on the summary page where it shows the picture and details of my device, it is instead showing a picture of an old, white click wheel ipod and not my black 5G. Also it does not say :"Jen's ipod" in the list it just says "ipod"...so when I click on it I get this lovely gem: " Itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to Restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod". Ugh. So I tried to disconnect via windows and it worked. I reconnected it, like the error message said to do and again it came up as the phantom click wheel ipod. I clicked on it and got the corrupt message again, so this time I tried to Restore it. As soon as I clicked Restore button iTunes froze and I had to use Task Manager to shut it down.
I loaded iTunes again and reconnected it in another attempt to Restore it, but this is the error message I got this time; "USB device is not recognized. One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it". THEN the ipod starts beeping and it says the dreaded "Please wait....very low battery" ( I have started reading that thread but haven't got too far in it yet.
So basically my question(s) is this: Is all of this mess related to the (apparently) defective battery that was installed? Could it be a software issue? When I took it in for service I was strongly cautioned that software issues are not covered (and my warranty expires next Tuesday).. I was cautioned about this very emphatically....so much so I wondered if they knew something I did not. What exactly is corrupt? Is it the hard drive or is there a corrupt file or driver somewhere? Was mny batter issue possibly caused my the dismounting problem I was having??
Oh, I do know that it is not an issue with iTunes, my USB ports, my dock, or my wall adapter, or both of my laptops as my husband's 30GB 5G video still works fine and has had absolutely no issues (his never has).
Any insight or advice anyone could give me would be sincerely appreciated.
THANKS! Jen

I have one isea that might work...
Here are the steps:
1)Do a hard reset (menu + select)
2)Before it turns back on quickly press (select + play)
3)This should put the iPod into disk mode
4)plug the ipod into the computer
5)if iTunes doesnt open, open it
6)you should now be able to restore it
Hope this fixes your problem!

My iPhone 4S is not charging when plugged into clock radio. What's wrong?

So about a week ago, I docked my iPhone 4S into my Sony ICF-C7iP clock radio as I do every evening before going to bed. I bought this clock radio back in August and have had no problems with it at all. However this time, I noticed my phone was not charging. It didn't make the charging beep nor did it show on the display that it was charging. I tried removing it & re-seating it...nothing. I tried rebooting my phone which resulted in the same problem. When I plug my iPhone into either a standard sync cable or an iPhone dock, it charges/syncs as normal.
Suspecting the problem was with the alarm clock, I contacted Sony support. The clueless support rep on the other line suggested I return the clock in exchange for a refurbished one. For a $60 clock, this was more trouble than it was worth, so I decided against it.
I then decided to purchase an iHome iA9 which was sure to work. I just unpacked it and set it up. When I docked the iPhone on it...you guessed it...nothing. It is still not charging. The funny thing is that the iPhone will play music through the iHome with no problems. I had also tried plugging the iHome into a different outlet with no luck either. I am out of ideas. I am left to assume that for some reason, my phone does no longer like charging when docked on to an alarm clock.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I can get this to work again? I recently upgraded to iOS 5.1 and honestly don't know if that would have anything to do with it. But the likelihood of 2 completely different clock radios exhibiting the same problem is virtually non-existent.
As mentioned, I tried rebooting the phone with no luck. Docking the phone to a standard charging cable plugged into the wall charges the phone fine. Docking the phone on an iPhone compatable dock charges the phone fine. Is the problem with my phone?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Tim, I was speaking generally. Obviously the iOS upgrade didn't remove the ability to charge on ALL 3rd party devices, else my iH9 wouldn't charge it either.
What I just can't understand is how an old iHome model works just fine with a new iPhone, yet a new iHome model will not. If anything, I would think it would be the other way around.
Anyway, I emailed iHome explaining my situation and I asked if they had planned on releasing a firmware update to fix the problem. I got the typical generic response about unplugging the iHome & removing the batteries for an hour then trying again. And if that doesn't work, send it in for repair in which I would need to pay for the shipping.
If I decide to go that route, I think it's just going to be a waste of time as I would get the iHome back "repaired" and it would have the exact same problem. But I guess I'll never know until I try.
I remember reading on these forums about several others having the same problem. So what are the odds that the iHomes these other people got who are experiencing the same problem are problematic as well? Unless the "repair" iHome is referring to is a firmware update, I don't really buy into this.

Please help !! - G560e will not charge - PLEASE help!!

I bought a secondhand G560e last week and have been very happy with it , but now it is failing to charge.
When the power supply is unplugged the led glows steadily but when it is plugged into the notebook the led flickers very faintly and the notebook will nor charge.
I have tried it with the battery out and it does the same.
Please advise

hi cornwallray,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
When you turn the computer ON with just the AC adapter plugged-in, does the computer turn ON?
if it does and the charging port doesn't wiggle then there's no problem with the DC jack (this is the connector on the laptop) and also the AC adapter and your battery might have already worn-out over time.
if it doesn't turn ON, try to take out both AC adapter and battery and press and hold the power button for 30secs and re-insert the AC adapter. If same problems, the AC adapter might be bad. If the charging port wiggles, that might be faulty too.
These are the usual battery LED indicators:
1. steady yellow / amber or white light means the battery is charging
2. blinking / steady red light means the battery is not charging (usually comes with a beep sound on selected models)
3. steady green light means the battery is full
4. power light ON / battery light off means no battery detected.
Hope this helps.

Since downloading latest OS (07?) on my 4G-S can't use regular charger. Phone blinks and bleats but does not charge. Can charge in car and from computer keyboard port. Much slower.

Since downloading os 7.1 to my Iphone 4G-S I have been unable to charge it on the regular charger. I can use my USB port on my keyboard and my car charger but when I hook up to my regular charger the phone blinks on and off and bleets little beeps and does not charge. Ipowered off and on again with no success.

No such model exists, therefore there cannot possibly be an issue with it.
If it works with other chargers, that would indicate a problem with the charger.

My new iphone5 will not charge,any suggestions

Hello, my new iphone5 will not charge, when I plugged it in to recharge, it was making beeping sounds for about 5 minutes then stopped, any suggestions? thanks

First of all, you'd probably want to move this question out of iPod classic category to iPod touch one.
Try reconnecting your cable. Try connecting to your computer instead of wall socket, or vice versa.
Try resetting, restoring, restoring from backup. Make sure there's nothing wrong with your cable and try another one. The problem might be in your connector or the cable, if so — you might want to ask for a repair in your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Reseller.

W520 battery not charging

My less-than-a-month old w520 is having battery issues. It started over a week ago. I first noticed it was at 99% and not charging. It slowly dropped to mid-90's before I had to send my laptop in to Lenovo for a motherboard replacement (due to the five beep error). When it returned, the battery was at 83% and still not charging.
I've tried:
* Unplugging, letting it drain a couple percent, and plugging it back in. Still didn't charage.
* Rebooting.
* Changing the "Charge Mode" from "Automatically optimize for battery lifespan" to "Always fully charge". No change. Tried "Custom charge threshold" of 96%. No change.
* I tried running the "Perform Reset" process. I let it run for almost 12 hours, but it never actually finished - the button said something about clicking it to stop the process and I clicked it, since I figured 12 hours should've done the trick and if it hadn't, it wasn't going to (since the process itself said it would only take several hours). The net result is that the battery now says 80%.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

After 17.5 hours, I stopped the battery reset and called Lenovo.
First, the rep had me take the battery out and put it back in, then set the BIOS to default values. I did and the verbiage in the system tray changed to "80% available (plugged in, charging)". (Before, it said "not charging".) With the problem seemingly fixed, the rep recommended I update the power management software and BIOS to prevent it happening again and we hung up.
A half-hour later, the laptop was still at 80%. (For what it's worth, "Current" in the Battery tab of the Power Manager reads "0.01 A".) I updated the power management software to the current one on Lenovo's site. Still says "charging" but isn't.
I am really reluctant to update the BIOS. I don't want to brick my machine - I haven't even had it a month!
I'm going to call Lenovo back tomorrow and see what other options are available; I just thought I would update.

Battery not charging and MBP not waking up from sleep

I've got both of these issues happening. Sounds like I just have to wait it out on the sleep issue until a point at which Apple will issue a fix. The battery not charging is becoming especially frustrating though. I've had the computer for about a month and it just started a few days ago. I've checked the battery to see if it qualifies for replacement and it has the correct model number but the s/n has a different last for digits. I've unplugged/removed battery/held down the power button and no change, the battery still does not charge. Seeing as the MBP will run with the power cable inserted and the battery removed, I'm assuming that the cable's ok, the light has rarely come on at all lately -- no green or amber. Any advice here? I'm getting pretty frustrated with this thing.

I met the same issue, the difference is while i touch the track pad or move mouse or hit keyboard, the screen responds rapidly and then back to black. tap the keyboard, it beeps... I can do nothing except "command+control+power" to restart or long press power to power off it.
I found it only happens after I installed 10.8.2, it works well before 10.8.2 update.
any help please?

Ipod 1st generation not charging

Hi,
I've an ipod shuffle (1st generation) that is not charging, the shuffle is seen by my system and I was able to update it 1.1.4 firmware version today( I also restored it), but when the shuffle is connected to the high-power USB port it lights with the amber light to indicate that it's charging. However it never turns green and on removing it after >4hrs there is no activity from it and the battery indicator light does not light. It is out of warranty now so I was thinking of replacing the battery myself, however the fact that it's not charging at all would give me doubts that it may not be the battery and might be related to the circuit board.
Anybody seen this symptom before?
Paddy

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

Hi everybody, my Macbook air mid 2012 MD 231 suddenly shut down then i can not turn it on. I heard a sound like a fuse is blown or something like that. Did any system break or burnt? I did not charge at that moment. Plz help

my Macbook air mid 2012 suddenly turn off after a strange sound (like the sound òf a fuse has blown or something like that) and I also feel a burnt smell too while i am watching a film on the internet and did not charge the laptop at this moment. The sound was from the left of it, and now just a dark screen , even I tried charging it (still has green light at the charge tool). I bought it on 13st April 2013, not often use.
I love apple and i am so sad that a new product which i seldom use could be break so easily and outstanding. It's so late in my country now but i am too disappoint about the trouble so i am writing with hope of supporting from Apple and the community.
Please help , thank bro

You will have to take it to an Apple Store for repair.

Battery heating up, now it is Not Charging

For a while I have had the issue of my macbook becoming very warm when charging, or in use. And it would often say not charging, then i would have to remove and insert the charger a few times before it would work.
Now it is not charging at all, and the battery is at 0%.

If the heat is coming from the battery itself, you probably need a new one. If you're near an Apple Store or third-party service depot, they have a diagnostic they can run to determine if your battery has failed and needs to be replaced. Depending on your model, the battery may be something you can swap out, or would need to be done with a special tool.

Venue 8 Pro not charging?

I have not used this tablet a lot for the first couple of months I had it, then it was not used for 4 months I enjoyed it but mainly wanted it for travel. I used it for month while traveling in October it worked fine and put it up since then I got it out and put it on charge the same cord and charger that came with it and has worked in past. The white light will come on but after say ten mins goes off and the tablet is warm on the back, it has not charged if I try to reset by holding the buttons down I only get a couple flashes of Amber light. And when I plug the charger in no lights come on. Then if I wait like an hour and plug charger back in the white light comes on and again only stays on 10 mins or so and warms up the back. The warranty period is over as of 4-2, any thoughts, bad battery due to letting sit and battery going dead for so long? Tried three different cords but only have the one dell charger.

Dell supplied the wrong charging cable. The port is rectangular and the plug is trapezoidal so it can be plugged in either way, and if you plug it in wrong, you can bend or break the pin block. I handed mine to my wife to see which way she'd try to connect the cable and she immediately tried plugging it in upside down. This is a serious design flaw and Dell needs to recall them all and replace the connector. There's no way in this day and age of computing that it should be possible to plug in a connector upside down like this and then destroy the device. It's only a matter of time before every one of these Dell Venue Pro 8 units is damaged because of this issue. Dell screwed up the design and customers are paying for the mistake. This is 100% Dell's fault. They need to make it right.
