SIII won't charge since KitKat update!

Since the KitKat update yesterday, I'm having these problems:
1.   Touch screen is less sensitive and won't move up and down easily.
2.   PHONE WON'T CHARGE! I have to charge the battery externally and replace -- every few hours.
If I do factory reset -- will I need to reload all apps and all my crazy passwords?   What will the auto backup save -- contacts only?
VERY, VERY, VERY UNHAPPY -- LOVED MY PHONE BEFORE.   FURIOUS NOW.

This began within hours of updating -- no other changes. I used verizon cloud to back up my device. When I try to charge, I get the red x that others have talked about. When no charger / sync cord is connected, my battery life icon is white instead of green. The battery life percentage drops very quickly. I have been charging my previously unused samsung battery with an external battery charger and replacing it. I also have a lithium ion battery and charger that I'm using.
Thanks,
Alli Wischer

Who can fix my Ipad 3 because it won't charge since IOS update?

Ipad 3 won't charge since IOS update, who can fix this expensive item?
Thank you

Try a different electrical out.
Make sure you are using the same power adapter and cable that came with the iPad.
And try charging via USB to a computer.
If nothing above helped, reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, restore the device > iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If nothing above helps, take your iPad to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider > Apple - Find Locations

Droid mini won't charge since OS update

My Droid mini wont charge since updating the OS a few days ago. It shows that it is plugged in but will not charge. It will remain on and running while plugged in but once unplugged it dies within minutes.

Lindsey,
I did try safe mode yesterday and that did not work either. I have tried several different chargers and they all do the same thing. the phone works fine when plugged in but dies within minutes after being unplugged. I am on my jobs plan but pay for my service. I feel I may have to cancel my line. I went to a Verizon store Saturday and they told me there was nothing they could do for me and I would need to buy a new phone. I cant use another of my companys upgrades, I just bought this phone maybe 6 months ago and it's now basically useless, and Verizon says theres nothing they can do for me.

my iphone 4g wont charge since last update
help please

What iPhone model do you have?
The iPhone 4 can only go to iOS 7.1.2 which was released quite some time ago.
The iPhone 4s can be updated to iOS 8.2 (latest iOS). Is this what you did?
What are you using to charge? Check cable and charger for correct function.

Battery Won't Charge & Can't Update OSX Beyond 10.4.6

I'm a relatively new Macbook user, so any insight would be helpful.
Here's my plight:
My battery won't charge, so I called AppleCare and they told me to download the latest FIRMWARE for the battery. (This is after re-setting the battery, and pressing the button located on the BACK of the battery, hoping to get the three-or-four green lights... I'm getting nothing).
I came here and downloaded a battery fix/update - the problem is that the battery fix requires my OS to be 10.4.8.... I have 10.4.6... And I can't log onto the internet (another 'fun' issue) through my Macbook in order to download anything beyond 10.4.6....
So, now, I downloaded 10.4.7 from the apple website, off my Windoze PC, yet when I try to load 10.4.7 on my Macbook, the set-up goes through the motions, then STOPS after I ACCEPT the terms, and tells me that I don't have a (I'm paraphrasing) proper HD to store the updated version.
No more than two months ago I had to get a new HD (after only having my MacBook for six months) and I'm not looking to get another one...
Since the root of my issues stem from me not being able to upgrade... Any thoughts on how to upgrade, even though I can't connect my Macbook to the net?

Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format. I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn., Since I updated my itunes I can't burn a disc in MP3 format. I converted the list to MP3 but it still won't burn.

Since I updated my itunes I can no longer burn a playlist to disc using MP3 format. I clicked on converting the songs to mp3 format but they still won't burn to disc. The computer says it is checking media and then stops.

same problem. Im using itunes version 10.6.3, I converted wavs burnt from cd, to mp3 using itunes, these were NOT PURCHASED from itunes, and when I try to burn an mp3 cd using the new mp3 files, they convert to wavs before my eyes every time i create a new playlist of the mp3. The mp3 revert to wav within less than 30 seconds. As if itunes is saying, let me help, I substitute the higher quality 1411 wav files for you. And of course, now they wont burn to mp3, because "they must be converted to mp3 first" before burning.
But every list of the mp3 version of the files keeps reverting to 1411 wav files?
WHats going on? Thanks

IPhoto won't open since last update V9.5.1

My iPhoto won't open since the latest update (V9.5.1) was installed. I do not get any error message, the icon bounces a couple times and then nothing happens. I've tried the following solutions found in other forums:
-Using "iPhoto Library Manager" to rebuild library and repair iPhoto, did not work because "iPhoto failed to open"
-Removing the file iPhotoLock.data from Finder>Pictures>Right Click iPhoto Library>Show Package Contents, this also did nothing.
I can't find any other solution and I'm worried that I may lose my pictures (over 20GB of pics).
Is someone else having similar issues?

You don't always have a good current backup? Without one you are 100% guarenteed to lose everything including your photos sooner or later - things do fail - Time Machine is included on yur Mac - use it - you eed a large external hard drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - once set up it is automatic and will save you when things go South
For now all you need is a copy of the iPhoto library
I stated in my original message that I have the most current version of iPhoto, iPhoto '11 V9.5.1. Is there a way to reverse the update because I had no problems with it until the update was done automatically.
Yes - but since things are not wroking ti is important to verify facts - not work on assumptions
No - you can not "undo the update" easily but you can fix things

Apps won't open since iOS update-why?

First time I tried to open apps since the update, and the screen just kind of flashes for a second and nothing happens. Has this happened to anyone? I can open all the apps that showed up with the update, but none of the others.

If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Cs5 won't load since yosemite update

Since I updated with Yosemite I can't open my Photoshop cs5. I get the error message ...
To open “Adobe Photoshop CS5” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.
I have updated my Java, verified it and it all seems up to date. I have also uninstalled and re installed my CS5 but still no joy!
What should I try next????

It wants this one: Java for OS X 2014-001 Install and it should fix the problem.
Here is the reference if you are not sure. Why do I need "legacy Java SE 6 runtime?"

ITunes won't launch since maverick update on late 2010 macbook air

have tried downloading and reinstalling itunes on my late 2010 macbook air, but since maverick update itunes will not lauch and has to be force quit in order to close, this happens instantly on launch??

My machine was running quite slow too, especially boot time. Repairing permissions and zapping PRAM seemed to help out a lot. Further, if you want, you can disable hibernation and delete sleep image. I realize that most that run a Mac don't expect to do any tweaking, and hopefully Apple will come out with a SP soon that 'fixes' some of the issues that many are having. I don't think having 2GB of memory is the main issue, as many with 8GB of RAM are having the same issue. I did a lot of tweaking and Lion is working as well as Snow Leopard was on my MBA 11" with 2GB of RAM. You can also successfully run monoligual on your MBA, get rid of language packs you don't need and save 1.5GB.

My iPod Touch is no longer charging since iOS update

Hi, so I have three iPod chargers, and as far as I know, they should both work perfectly fine. One is super old, I've had it since my first second generation iPod Nano, and one is practically brand new, I've had it for a few months. The new one and the middle one are both store bought chargers, non apple brand, and whenever I try to charge my iPod with these chargers, the same error message comes up, saying that charging is not supported with this accessory. All I can think is, they worked perfectly fine until the latest iOS update. Now, neither are charging my iPod, and I have to use my old iPod charger from my old Nano. This would all be fine if (a) that charger wasn't falling apart with electrical tape holding it together and (b) it wasn't shared with my mother. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this problem with store bought chargers. No way do both of these chargers just decide to stop working around the same time. I'm just wanting to know because I don't want to find out Apple created a new thingy in their update that stops non-apple accessories from working. (They already did that so that my car charger never worked with my new iPod).
Oh, and in case it matters, my iPod is the iPod Touch 4 (bought just a couple months before the iPod Touch 5 came out, so I think it's a 4s).

Does it charge on a computer? Does it appear in iTunes?
If so:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Also see:
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

IPhone 4S Won't Charge After iOS7 Update

After installing ios7 update my phone fails to charge properly.
When on: plug in charger : 'this device may not be supported' --- my option? 'dismiss'
on every plug in this message appears.
When off: battery icon appears when charger is plugged in, after 3 seconds fades to black, on pressing home button it shows battery icon again.
I've tried all solutions provided to me by phone technical support, no help.
My phone currently charges to 3-5% when left off, comes back to life when turned on, but doesn't hold charge for more than 5 min and dies.
When plugged into mac/itunes everything works exept charging.
I've tried other cables/chargers, nothing
Also no longer supports my fm car transmiter that I purchased 'this device may not be supported' --- my option? 'dismiss'
The reason for buing an iphone was to have my music on the go and be able to play it/record my creative ideas: now it has become a paper weight and source of frustration.
I will be taking it in to an apple dealer today to check if its a hardware issue, but there have been no hardware problems or any damage before or after ios7 instal.
Questions:
how do i get it to charge? how do i get it to support my purchased iphone accesories?

I have a similar problem. I have an iPhone 4s that was working perfectly. Almost immediately upon upgrading to iOS7 I noticed that the battery began to drain much quicker. This morning when I tried to recharge the battery it would not recharge. I followed brad805's suggestions. When I took it to the Genius Bar they attempted to remove the battery and directly power the phone from a cable and that did not work. The phone is now completely dead and because it is past the one year warranty period, there is little that the people at the Apple Store can do to help me. I took very good care of the phone when I owned it and there were no incidents to the phone in the time since I upgraded to iOS7. I strongly believe that the upgrade to iOS7 is the contributing factor to this phone failure.
Is there a mechanism to register a complaint with Apple? I understand that phones fail from time to time but based on the posts I am seeing on the internet, I fear that there are additional instances like mine.

Phone Shuts Down Repeatedly & Restarts & Won't Charge Since IOS 8 Upgrade

Jesus please take the wheel. After reading about all the IOS 8 problems in the past few weeks I thought everyone was nuts until two days ago. My iphone 5 has never been mistreated, dropped, slung across a room, or undergone anything approaching torture. It has NEVER EVER EVER given me ANY problems. All of my apps worked seamlessly, and I never had any issues with the functionality of the phone. And, like the gung-ho Apple product lover that I am, I swiftly upgraded to IOS 8 hoping that things would only get better. BUT in the past two days, without treating my phone any different, it has begun to malfunction. It shut down by itself TWICE in a span of ten minutes two days ago. And each time I turned it back on, it acted as though I asked it to restart. It did the same thing yesterday, EVEN AFTER RESTORING IT TO FACTORY SETTINGS. On top of that, it refused to charge, although it was showing up on my macbook and the little lighting bolt appeared in the upper right hand corner of the phone.
I am no conspiracy theorist by ANY measure, but I can't help but attribute these problems to the new OS. How do I get help for this? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Have you resolved it? HELP. Apple certainly won't lose my business and I certainly can't tell other people what to do, but I must echo other people's caution about downlaoding IOS 8. If you have not done so yet, I strongly encourage you to hold off until Apple works out the kinks in this OS.

Hi sejrphd,
As someone who depends on my iPhone for communications and computation, I know how difficult it must be to have difficulties such as you describe with your iPhone. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
If your iPhone powers off unexpectedly, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
In particular this section -
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
This article may assist you with your battery charging issue -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

IDVD won't burn since latest update

Ever since the latest update iDVD won't burn a disc. It says that there is no disc in the drive. I have tried TDK DVD-R and Verbatim DVD-R discs. This is ******* me off something fierce. Please help.

Have you tried to burn a data DVD from the finder?
What does System Profiler (about this mac > more info) say under diskburning?
Also a cold restart (all power off for 5 minutes) and zapping the PRAM and PMU can reset optical drives.
