Plug terminal got wet now my iPad won't hold a charge

when its plunged in it will be fully charged and functional untill i unplug then it dies. battery reads zero

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

TS3274 My ipad won't hold a charge for very long.

Just recently my ipad quit holding a charge. What used to last me all day has turned into only a couple of hours. Is there a setting or something I can change to regain the charge I once had. My I pad is only a couple of months old.

Try turning off the following:
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Push>OFF
Settings>Notifications>Mail>Gmail>Notification Center>OFF
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Off

*new* 80GB, Battery won't hold a charge?

hey guys, i just got an 80gb and it won't hold a charge.
when it's plugged into my mac or the external charger it works fine but when i unplugged from either source it plays about 2 songs (showing full battery life) and then displays the low battery sign and then cuts off.
did i get a lemon? does it just need a new battery?
please help if you can.

Not thinking there is a local handy apple store in iraq. Really thing I can suggest is you trying the five r's see here
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/. Not really much else at this point. Probably really is a service issue, but give the other a try. Maybe if you find somebody going back to the real world they can take it and have it serviced for you and send it back. Is there no way you can send it in using fpo/apo (not sure what they call it now adays) you can go online here and request service:http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or maybe send it back to a loved one they can exchange if for you and send it back. You can request service on line, use your home address and they will send the package to your home, then your family can send it into apple for you, or have them take it to 5th ave.
Sorry I can't be of more help and [b]thanks for what you are doing over there! Been there, done that, got the tshirt to prove it (viet nam 2nd rangers)

HT1430 I tried to upgrade to ios 4 by plugging my Ipad into Itunes on my desktop. I got an error report and now my Ipad won't work at all. I can only get a screen with a plug and an arrow pointing to the Itunes logo.

I tried to upgrade to ios4 by plugging my Ipad into Itunes on my desktop. I got an error message as it was downloading. Now my Ipad won't turn on at all. All I get is a pic of the plug and an arrow pointing to the Itunes logo. I tried to reset, but nothing works. When I try to plug the Ipad into my desktop and access Itunes, my Ipad doesn't show up on the Itunes screen.

You need to restore your iPad using recovery mode and the process is covered in this article.

I bought a new computer and now my IPad won't snc

I bought a new Apple laptop and now my IPad won't sync. It shows up on the left side but when I try to sync it, it says the apps installed can not be deternined. Does anyone have any idea what my problem is? Thanks in advance.

Did you transfer all of your iTunes content/iTunes library to the new Mac? If you didn't, have you transferred purchases into the new iTunes library from the iPad?

I have downloaded ios 6 on my ipad 2 but it wouldn't install and now my ipad won't work (just has the apple logo on the screen periodically) or reset. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try restoring the device using iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer and when iTunes opens, select your device on the left side, then click on the summary tab, then click on Restore.
After the device is restored you will have an opportunity to restore from your backup. Restore from the backup when you are done and then sync with iTunes.
if that doesn't work, try recovery mode.

Ipohne 5s got wet, now there is no service but works perfectly fine. help ?

is it because it got wet ? or just a service problem?

Since it has notservice, it obviously does not "works perfectly fine".

One or the other or both.
Contact your cell carrier and/or take the phone into an Apple store.
FYI: wet is considered accidental damage and is not covered under warranty.
$269 (in U.S.) to replace the phone at Apple.

HT4317 ipod nano got washed and dried now battery won't hold a charge

My Ipod nano got washed and dried, now it won't hold a charge? How do I fix it !

Take a look at this link, http://www.apple.com/support/service/

Phone got wet,now it's only showing the apple icon and sometimes connect to itunes

3gs phone got wet,now it's only showing the apple icon alternating with connect to itunes

You didn't connect it to your computer or to power, did you?
Wipe it down, put it in a baggie with raw rice or new silica gel packets and set it in a cool, dry area, like a cupboard. Leave it there for 3 - 4 days.
Take it out after this time, wipe it off, use a soft brush to wipe any rice dust from the dock connector, and connect it to your wall charger. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes and then Reset it while it is connected to power. May take several tries. If it revives fully charge it.
If this does not work you can do an out-of-warranty replacement with Apple for $199 USD.

Are you using ITunes 10.5? If so have you upgraded to the OS 5 software? Now it should tell you there's an even newer upgrade to the 5.0.1 when you try to sync your iPhone or iPad. Hope this helps.
