Red battery showing but not charging and button not working

My daughters iphone 3G is showing a red battery when plugged in but not charging, it always shows 20%. Also the button isn't working, so I can't reboot. I have plugged it into the PC and it doesn't recognise the device?? what is going on with this?

same problem here, on the Black MacBook, purchased in April 2008.
0% icon and the green lid.
I tried restarting, reseting etc ... without any success.

My iPad will not charge and will not switch on, blank screen.....

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets the iPad to turn on and/or to charge ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My iphone will not charge and will not turn on?

Today my iphone is dead. It will not charge and will not turn on. Could it need a new cord? It is just 5 months old! It has always been in the Lifeproof case. Ideas?

Plug it into a wall outlet for at least 30 minutes, then try resetting it, again: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

My iphone 5 will not charge, and will not power on.

My iphone 5 is 14 months old and it will not charge, and it has died. My charger cable works as it charges my ipad, and I also used a second charger for good measure. Please help.
When I try to power on, it goes to the battery sign with the lightning bolt underneath.
It has been on the charger for a while, and still no luck.
I tried a hard reset to no avail, and I connected it to my computer, but it is dead and itunes won't recognize it if it is dead.

Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.

IPhone not charging and screen not turning on after battery died

The battery on my iPhone just died about 2 hours ago. I noticed the battery getting kind of hot. Normally when this happens, I let it run to 0% then recharge it to 100%.
After the phone died, I plugged it in (wall charger) and nothing came on the screen. I then plugged it into the computer and nothing came on the screen at all. I left it plugged in for about 20 minutes and still nothing on the screen but the back of the phone was getting really hot. I held the phone up to my ear and heard a slight buzzing noise from the earpiece (?) and when i took the cable out the noise stopped. The overheating kind of freaked me out but I looked extensively online and everything mentioned flipping the vibrate switch and holding the home and power buttons. I then tried restarting my phone while the phone is plugged in and again nothing showed up on the screen.
I tried all of this and nothing happened. As of now I've taken the phone off of the charger as I'm unsure what my next move is going to be. I won't be able to take it to an Apple Store until April so I'm pretty much screwed.
Anyone have anything else I can try?

I was having battery troubles outlined in this topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2324513&start=135&tstart=15
I tried some of the easy fixes but none had worked so far. Since the last time my battery drained to 0% and turned off (yesterday), my phone has not turned on. I have plugged it into a working wall socket, and plugged it into my computer, and neither has worked. Please note it's been plugged in for more than 24 hours. I have tried rebooting it but nothing seems to work. I have checked the apple support topics and can't find any solution to this problem that has worked.
Also please note that my phone is not getting hot to the touch, nor is it making a "humming" noise.
Thanks.

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?

My new computer with Windows 8.1 will not charge and will not disply playlists

My new computer with Windows 8 will not charge my iPad and iPods. Also iTunes will display the music on the Apple devices but not the playlists

Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
I have tried a different USB to no avail. Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue.
I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled. Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs.

MY i pad 2 is not charging and can not pick up wi fi

3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

IPod touch 5 is not charging and is not syncing.

My ipod was working fine yesterday, but then last night I tried charging it and it kept saying "USB device not recognized" it's not even charging either. I just bought this charger a couple weeks ago for like $20 I can't get a new one because my grandpa would kill me, and i can't buy a new ipod. i tried everything i could think of. I uninstalled itunes on my windows 8 laptop, and then i reset everything on my ipod. it's still not working at all. they are both up to date. should i take it to a best buy and see if they could do anything? or is there anything i could do at home to save me the trip? please help! thank you.

Not Charge

P10 504 will not charge and will not operate from mains

hi
I'm having difficulties with my P10-504. I plug my charger in the back of the unit and nothing happens. No lights come on at the front and no charging or powering of the notebook.
I have some charge left in the battery and it shows that the computer is operating from battery power (discharging) and not AC power.
I have checked to make sure that the charger is operational with a volt meter and it seems to be fine.
Can any one offer a soloution for me?
Thanks
Adam

Hi there
What's the ASP?
I've had a similar problem before, somehow the prong in the power clug snapped off in the charging cable and so the computer would only charge if the cable was held in place.
I sent my computer to Toshiba who fixed the problem, replacing the motherboard I believe.
I now have the problem that the cable and socket appears to be fine yet the computer will not charge.
If I hold the cable in a certian position the light flicks on. If I find that position and leave it there within seconds the lights go out and will not come back on.

My iPhone4S does not charge, and will not upload photos. How do I fix that?

I think that the charger/usb in the iPhone is burnt out. The charger works on other phones, and I tried 3 different chargers and none of them worked. So, I think it's actually the phone. Is there a way to fix this? Clean it? Replace parts?
Or, there may be a battery problem. Recently I will have days when the battery depletes rapidly. That only happens occationally. Today, the battery did deplete quickley. Initially when I plugged the phone in it started charging & got to 60%, then I unplugged it to make a phone call. Then when I plugged it back in it would charge, then not charge, then charge ... back & forth until it stopped charging all together.
I decided to upload my Christmas photos incase I have to restart it & that didn't work either. Unfortunately my Apple Support expired on 12/21/2012.
Help. Any ideas?

If your iCloud events are showing the incorrect time, check the following:
Go to icloud.com, sign into your iCloud account, click your name at the top and choose Account Settings, click Time Zone and be sure it shows the correct time zone and that you have selected a city near you. Then open your calendar on icloud.com, click the gear-shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, click the Advanced tab and make sure you have not checked time zone support at the top.
On your iOS devices, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Time Zone Support (in the Calendars section) and make sure this is set to Off.

Have an i tuneslogo with a usbpugin showing but is frozen and can not change

I have an Itunes logo showing in my sceen with a white USB pugin but everithing is frozen and I can not change anything?

You have to set up your phone and activate it using iTunes before you can use it. Start iTunes on your computer, plug in your iPhone and follow the instructions for activating it.

My iPod Touch is not charging and will not sync with itunes

My Ipod touch was feeling really hot and then all of a sudden the screen turned white and started flashing with my apps still open but faded and unaccessible. My screen was a blurry like it looks on tv when you lose connection. Then the ipod kept making the charging noise over and over again and wouldn't charge. It then turned off. Then it put itself on the needs to be charged symbol but it was flashing and then it stopped showing up. I have tried everything-youtube, dfu mode,( it wont even sync to itunes) and it still wont turn on after hours of charging. The screen has been black for hours now. I hope somebody can help me. Thanks.

Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset (both buttons) and connect to computer and try to restore. If screen is still white you very likely have a hardware problems.

Ipod nano will not charge and will not be recognizsed by itunes

I got an ipod nano 4gb today, if i plug it into the computer , windows will recognize it like for the device connected sound, but neither my computer nor itunes will show the ipod. the second i disconnect the ipod it says that there is no battery life, its new out of the box, no matter how long i charge it, it still says that there is no battery. what can i do, should i get it fixed or replaced.

Have you taken it back to the shop and plugged it into their computer? Does their computer or itunes recognise it? If not, new ipod please. If yes, probably something wrong with your computer/cable/port etc.
