"power adapter plugging into wall" icon

I plugged my mini into the wall(after getting this icon) but nothing's happening. I've reset it numerous times also. I'VE DONE EVERYTHING, BUT NOTHING IS WORKING. I'm on my sixth hour of trying to get this working. THESE THINGS ARE ALMOST NOT WORTH THE EFFORT. Any suggestions please!!

I am having the same problem. Ipod was running. Updated and got icon requesting me to plug ipod into external power source. Didn't have an external power source (since it wasn't supplied!) so I bought one. But I'm STILL getting nothing but the power plug icon.
And yes, I have reset it numerous times. It goes to the "batttery recharge" icon (despite the fact that it's been plugged in for hours and hours) and then the apple icon comes up and then it goes back to the plug in external battery icon.
I tried to see if I could restore the thing in that brief moment when the apple icon appeared, but no go. It never recognized the Ipod.
I have a very expensive brick and I'm very unhappy. There must be a workaround. Help please!

Can get past the "Power adapter plugging into wall" icon

I just got my brothers older 60gb Photo ipod and am trying to get it working on my computer. Did the whole restore thing, but now it is stuck at the Power adapter plugging into wall icon. I didn't have the original wall plug so I got a universal one at Radio Shack. Only the ipod still has the darn icon on it and I can't get past it. Any suggestions>

Lets do a trick. Connect the iPod and the cabel. The USB connector has 2 prongs that stick out a little more than the rest the goal. is to push it in a little so it charges but does not sync. Give It A Try.

Power Adapter Plug Keeps Disconnecting on 1.67Ghz ***

I constantly have to re-push in my power adapter plug into the
Powerbook 1.67 Ghz. It seems as though the socket in the Powerbook just wants to squeeze the male part of the adapter back out again and again. I have 2 power adapters that this happens with, so I am almost certain it's the female socket on the Powerbook itself.
Has anybody been able to get Apple to cover this problem under warranty?

If you are still under warranty I would suggest you contact AppleCare regarding your issue. Every case is unique so just because one person may have gotten it fixed, or has been refused, does not necessarily mean this will fillow in all cases.

HT4060 iPad will not charge if hooked by USB to pc or plugged into wall. How do I know if the problem is with iPad, cable or power adapter. I have a 12, 10 and 5W adapters no success with any. Only one lightening cable so can't swap cables.

I'm sorry but this is too funny to pass up.

If mag safe is plugged into wall,but unplugged from laptop, does it still draw power?, if mag safe is plugged into wall,but unplugged from laptop, does it still draw power?

if mag safe is plugged into wall,but unplugged from laptop, does it still draw power?

My Kill-A-Watt meter indicates that my 85W MagSafe adapter draws about one watt when it's plugged into the wall but not powering anything. The meter doesn't measure fractional watts, so that's probably rounded up from a fraction.
When my 15" MBP is connected to the adapter but asleep, about two watts are drawn -- somewhat less than a small incandescent night-light.

Iphone #GS died suddenly. Works plugged into wall but not unplugged.

Iphone 3GS approx 1.5 years old (I'm not able to upgrade at reduced price until at least FEB so I was hoping to keep this until the next gen is released MAR-MAY).
My Iphone is my all in one device and never away from me. Today I sent a text while in a store and it just died. at the time that it died it had approx 85% bat life. I couldn't get it to restart no matter what I did. (power button, reboot with power button and home button). I then brought it home and when I plug it into the wall I can get it to come up but it wont connect it says "SEARCHING" for network and the WIFI option is grayed out. the second I unplug it from charger it dies even though it still shows 85% BAT. My first thought was to backup my data and reset phone thru I tunes so I plugged the phone into my mac mini and tried to get it to start it wont. So phone dies the second I unplug from wall but it wont do anything other than tell me to reset thru itunes which I can not do since I cant be plugged into wall AND mac at the same time. Someone please help me. Searching online I have found other people who have posted EXACT same issue but none with a posted resolution. PLEASE HELP! Thanks~

I dont think so. But why is it that it won't work while plugged into the computer. That is supposed to also charge it. And why unlike other products when battery is worn out where it progresses over weeks or months to get shorter and shorter battery life did this suddenly go from holding a full day+ charge and showing 85% bat life to poof nothing.

HT3382 With a MacbookAir (mid-2012) using a mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter plugged into the Thunderbolt port, can you configure the external monitor to FULLY display in portrait mode yet keep the built-in display in landscape mode?

With an 11"-inch Macbook Air (mid-2012) using a mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter plugged into the Thunderbolt port:
Can you configure an extended desktop with an external monitor (20") displaying full portrait mode (1200 x 1600 resolution) and keep the built-in display in landscape?
I'd like to see something like
External monitor / Built-in display

Yes, I can't see why not.
Just give it a try and report back if you have a problem.

HT3131 how can i run in clamshell without the power adapter plugged in?

just what the question states..I dont want to have to always connect the power adapter. thanks

thanks this works well with the power adapter pluged into the mac, but I am looking for this exact setup without the need for the power to be supplied to the mac.
in otherwords, run it off the battery only.
I want to think that there is either a preferences setting, or function to be able to do this.
currently it appears that the mac will only run in the configuration with external perpherials with the power supply.

My iPod was plugged into wall charger when it shot out an electrical burst out the top of iPod. Has this happened to anyone else? Has scorch mark on top of iPod where electricity exited!

My ipad has the message-This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi. I press ok and nothing happens. I have it locked, plugged into wall, and conected to wi-fi.

Go to Settings, iCloud, and then Storage and Backup. You will then see a button to backup your iPad. It may be that you have much stuff (i.e. photos, apps) for it to do a full backup but you will be able to tell what the estimated backup should be and what it will consist of so that you can choose to prune down items. If you don't want to backup and get rid of the messages you can just turn backup off from this area as well.

HT201412 I can't get any power while plugged into computer when trying to reset my iphone

I can get power when plugged into electrical outlet but as soon as I take it out and try it in the computer to be plugged onto Iturnes it shuts off. I'm trying to reset my phone.

ohhh

but it doesn't matter does it
just charge it up before you plug it into your computer
or if it really bugs you take it into apple they'll sort it out for you

HT4124 can I keep the magsafe power adapter plugged in to computer all the time?

Can I keep the magsafe power adapter plugged in to my computer from the power source at all times?

it is ok to keep it in all the time, BUT at least once a month let it run the battery down to 10-15% then do a full recharge.

Why can I not load pictures from a micro SD 64gb using scan disk adapter plugged into an Apple iPad camera connection kit. I have the iPhoto app but pictures not being seen on iPad. So incredibly frustrating. Apple please fix this.

Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

Powerbook G4 won't charge battery or run with power adapter plugged in.

My Titanium Powerbook G4 will not charge the battery or run with the power adapter plugged in. When plugged in the power adapter doesn't change to amber showing its charging. Instead it has a green light that flashes off and on. I thought it was a defective power adapter but when its plugged in to another powerbook its seems to be working properly. I reset the PMU but that didn't help. I have been unable to find anything that would tell me what a flashing green means.
Powerbook Titanium G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi, Marshall. With no power being supplied to the Mac for several months, not only has your main battery gone flat (and may never again be able to take a charge), but your internal backup battery has also gone flat. A Tibook with a dead backup battery generally will not start up at all, even with AC power connected.
Try this: remove the main battery and leave the AC power adapter connected overnight in an attempt to recharge the backup battery. If the Powerbook won't start in the morning under AC power, the backup battery is shot, has lost the ability to be charged, and must be replaced.
If the PB starts up in the morning on AC power, set the date and time correctly, shut the computer down, insert the main battery, and allow 48 hours with AC power connected in an attempt to charge the main battery. Then disconnect the AC adapter and try to start up under battery power. If that doesn't work, and no lights or only one flashing light appear when you press the power-indicator button on the battery, you'll have to replace the main battery.
