Problems After Charger Sparks.

I have a Macbook Pro 2009, and my Apple charger broke around 8 months ago. I purchased a cheaper one from Lavolta, it died but when i went to purchase an official Apple one, i saw the reviews on the Apple website and was put off. It seemed the cheap ones had as many problems as the official ones, so i purchased another Lavolta charger thinking 8 months isn't too bad for £30.
However, after a week it suddenly produced a spark when i inserted it into my Macbook Pro. The charger stopped working and i inserted my brother's charger into my macbook which powers it but does not charge it. His charger is an official Apple product and works on his macbook. I also swapped batteries but both times, the batteries did not charge.
I reset both my PRAM and SMC, but nothing has solved the problem so far. I'm out of Applecare warranty but would like to solve this. Have you got any ideas?

You'll need to take the system to Apple to have it diagnosed properly. Something got fried.

Ipod Playlist problems after charging

Hi I have an Ipod Classic 160Gb. I have set up playlists and On The Go Playlists. When I charge the ipod the playlists reset and start from the beginning again rather than continuing on from the last played song. This happens in both types of playlists. How can i fix this or is it just something that happens with ipods.
Thanks

Dean1dj, iPod make copies of the ON-The-Go playlist, it is automatically increased, to the next highest number. You can see it in iTunes as On-The-Go 1, On-The-Go 2 On-The-Go 3.
Unfortunately, the iPod, will always reset the ON-The-Go to blank, but you can copy the earlier On-The-Go playlist to a aptly named playlist and sync it back to the iPod.
There was an earlier post that there might be a bug with iTunes 10 series.
Have a nice day!

After charging my iPhone 5s the screen has locked with the Apple symbol and will not switch on or off even after connecting to iTunes , i am using the original Apple charger

Has anybody had a similar problem , after charging my iPhone 5s (with the Apple charger and cable ) , the screen on the phone has locked with the Apple Symbol , the phone will neither switch on or off for me to take any action , restore , upgrade etc

I think your iPhone must be stuck in Apple logo. If so, you need to read the help guide: iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support

My iPad air won't charge at all and I don't know if it's the charger or port help!i have had a new port put in before and it worked fine after but it's not working now! I have spent way to much trying to fix this thing one problem after another?

My iPad air won't change at all, and I don't know if it's the port or charger cable it is charging normally but it just won't charge. I have had a new port put in before after a charger getting stuck in there but it worked fine after and now it's not working at all! I don't know if maybe it's the charger getting old but I have spent far too much money on this iPad then I should have as it's one problem after another witch is causing me lots of stress.

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall.

I have an ipod 5 (IOS8) and two days ago my ipod died and when I tried to on it after charging it would turn on to the apple symbol and after about 5 minutes it would shut off. Another problem is that i also have a jammed home button.

Try:
Turn on without Home/Power Button

Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Resetting:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPOd via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem

I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging ) the green battery light is on - soon after it turns orange and then red. Is there a problem with the battery and is it fixable?

I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging) the green battery light is on it soon turns orange and red. Is there a problem with the battery and if so is it fixable?

If it's a 2nd gen shuffle, it is probably about six years old at this point. The cause is likely to be a worn out battery that is no longer able to hold its charge for very long.
It is technically fixable. This web site has repair guides
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Shuffle
But it is very small, so you need to be good at doing such things. The cost to have a repair shop do the work is likely to be uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50), which has more features (and possibly double the storage) plus a one-year warranty.

Iphone 3g problems with charging

After charging my phone, I unplug it and I can't hear any sound coming out of it. I check my settings, everything is on.

The unit finally failed and I opened it up. It appears to consist of an AC-->dc converter with suitable filters and regulators and a small computer that probably talks via I2C or a similar protocol to the iphone.
I suspect that components are defective and the output voltage is outside the range it thinks it should be or some problems with the communications cause it to send an erronious message in response to the query sent by the iphone. I did NOT see any obviously bulging electrolytic capacitors, but I did not test for high ESR and I suspect that is the problem.
A 'off brand' AC Charger of iPod and iPhone from Radio Shack works fine while BOTH authentic APPLE iphone 'tiny cube' chargers are going for recycling.
Software fixes may cause the iphone to either keep trying until it gets the right response or ignore the erronious responses.

Creative ZEN MX problems with charging battery

/Creative ZEN MX problems with charging batteryHi!
I've bought Creative Zen MX player a couple months ago. First thing I noticed when I plug in it into my computer was that battery after 3 hours was not full, what is more computer disconnected with it couple times;/
After weeks or two when I tried to charge it i Went where I bought it and they said after some examination that it really didn't work
They've sent it to the service. I had t wait for the return two months!!! and at the end they said that that tiny usb wire was damaged not mp3.
OK . The battery was fully charged maybe on 5 attempts ;/
There is no problem in my computer because I tried it on several other and it did not work ;/ ?Please, help me
Where is the problem?
?Why this player simply disconnect with my PC?

I was given this as a gift. I charged it for 8hrs when i got it and it showed fully charged. I have been trying to give it a full charge over the last 2 days once on a power adapter plugged into the wall the other through the USB port on my laptop .each for about 8hrs each. Using different cables. I remove the player and it shows full battery (never gives the plug icon though)and within 30 minutes of play music, I get the low battery warning. it was purchased on 0/6/200. nAlso it will not power on while charging.My original ZEN was able to play music when charging this one says DOCKED and will not repond to the power button being presses.

Any fix for random art and song order problems after adding new music?

If I sync my touch with itunes as a restore, all cover art, albums and playlists are correct. Once I add anything new or make a change and re-sync, random cover art is missing and random songs are in the wrong order. The only way to fix the problems is through a complete restore. Has anyone else had this problem or figured out a fix? I am using the latest itunes on a PC with XP.

A few issues, but sorry let me try to understand.
Adding new music, 'XXXX's iPod cannot be written or read'' can you let me know the number. most likely music format is not iPod Compatible like HE-AAC.
started skipping songs - these are normally due to corrupted ID3 tags, try converting them -File-> Advance -> IPOD version or use MP3 validator to fix all songs in the library. (My Apologies, only work for MP3 music that skipped)
As for item 2, you can try Hard Reset if you like to download MP3 validator.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

Hardware diagnostic shows me a problem about charging battery. What about it ?

Hi.
I bought a MacBook Pro retina 13', mid 14. on last december, and after almost a month I did the hardware test of apple as the Technic support says, and this hardware test shows me a problem about charging battery, so, I wanna know what about it, is it normal ? or is it a battery problem or is it a problem about the Current adaptador ? Thank your for your answers.

Could be battery, could be adaptor, could be the computer itself. You will have to take it in for testing. Fortunately, you are still under warranty.

How many still suffer problems after MLB replacement !?

Hi,
I've had my MacBook for around 4 weeks now, 1.5 of them spent in repair after one kernel panic and the inability to start up afterwards. I received it back yesterday and everything worked fine all night.
I'm currently at work so haven't had chance to check myself, but my girlfriends just rang me to say that the computer won't boot up !?
I think if there is another issue I'll be demanding my money back and purchasing something I can rely on like a MacMini !?
Has anyone else suffered similar problems after an MLB replacement !?
I understand that there are work arounds like resetting the PRAM etc, but would you accept this if say you'd bought a new car and after it having problems on ignition being told by the dealer that it'll work, but you have to remove the battery and clean the spark-plugs every time you want to use it !!
I think Apple should really start offering replacements or people there money back, and even start recalling them until they've identified the problem !!

Hi,
At this point after more than a month of having your MacBook, you cannot get a full refund, or return the MacBook either. My friend has tried to do that with his MacBook, but Apple will not allow them to return or even exchange the MacBook. Soory about that, but if you continue to allow Apple to fix the problems, you will get a working MacBook eventually. By the way, you may want to ask your girlfriend to reseat the battery, make sure the computer is plugged, and if that doesn't work try resestting the NVRAM and the PMU. Also, you can try and reseat the RAM. Hope this helps.

16 GB x-Fi Style - does not start after charging

Hi,
4 weeks ago I bought my x-Fi style and used it during my holidays for 2 weeks. After charging the player only twice (USB-connection with notebook), it now fails starting. Maybe there is an internal temperature fuse to protect from overheating and I only have to wait to try again? After connecting to USB the CREATIVE sign appears but disappears directly and a battery symbol appears and remains on the screen. After disconnecting the player does not react in any way. I already tried to reset but cannot start it again.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers,
Uli

Re: 6 GB x-Fi Style - does not start after charging:Just fyi
I found the website for Creative to be very frustrating. Not one snail mail address or corporate headquarters info. The link for website feedback didn't work and one other customer service link was a dud. They clearly don't want to be 'bothered' with complaints, or anything positi've for that matter!
But, I searched on the forum and found a three-year-old post about someone who was frustrated with having to carry around a paperclip to always push 'reset' on his X-Fi -- and the light dawned! Didn't know I had one of those. I pressed reset and voila! it is working again. Still had to charge it, but it accepted the charge this time and I was able to finish my book and move on to the next. Now, the next problem is I tried to access my wireless network which has a $ in the password and there is no $ in the choices for entering a password. So, now I have to change the password, change all of my device passwords (Blu-Ray, iPad, laptops(2), friend's laptops, etc. a huge pain. Seems to me they could have included a $ in the choices!

Re: Help!! my iphone4 hangs after charging!!

Hi anyone out there,
after charging my iphone4, I unplug it out from the charger adapter. Then when I wanted to use the phone normally, which is - slide to unlock- I did it the usual way and slide the arrow button on the touchscreen. However after sliding, my phone HANGS! So I press the on/off button for a very long time! And now it left with a black screen and a "loading circle icon in the middle". But my iphone felt a little "warm" at the back, as though it has been running for a long period of time.
And when I try to connect the usb port to my itunes, it couldn't be connected as it says there's an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065).
Anybody out there could help me solve this problem?? Please

Hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button until you see the Apple logo. Let us know if this solves it for you.
