[solved]Anybody ever had a problem with a case making it difficult to charge?

I purchased a gently used ipod 4g from eBay.  I was pretty thrilled with it. It was still new enough to have some limited warranty time left.  Dec 23.  I experimented with different apps for a couple of days.  I had to recharged it once.  No problem.   I purchased a gel case with a screen protector, so it didn't get it scratched, or beat up.  I set it up and it was looking pretty nice.  It was a clear gel case so it didn't alter the look at all.  I installed some more apps and read some ipod tutorials.  I installed mo gv app and found I had an iphone 4 with a free cell phone contract.  I needed a second charge. I plugged it into my wall outlet adapter..  After 4 hours nothing.  I changed the wall outlet.  After 4 hours nothing.  I thought I was having a cord problem because my ipod would neither charge nor mount as a flash drive on my computer usb port.  I googled ipod trouble shooting and was advised to do the things that I had done & 1)reset it, and if that didn't work  2)buy a new cord.  If that didn't work, use the apple limited warranty and get them to fix or replace.   I did 1) and 2).  Nothing.  I was very desperate and getting ready to send it back to apple.  Then it struck me that the only thing that had changed physically to the ipod since I last charged was putting on the case.  I wondered if the case was interfering in some way.  I took it off and put on the cord and plugged into the old wall adapter outlet.  This worked, now my ipod is charged.  I also found that I could charge with the case on if I pulled the front of it up a little before putting on the cord.  Problem fixed.
I guess I am writing this hoping it might save someone else the aggravation of sending an ipod to get if fixed only to be told there is nothing friggen wrong with it.  Maybe this should be added to the online troubleshooters?.

Richard,

  • Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?

    Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?  Itunes locks up when i attempt a sync as well as when I transfer my purchases from my phone to Itunes. I'm running Itunes 10.4.1 on iOS 4.3.5.  All of this is running on an 8 year old hp pavillian laptop running XP Pro that is fully updated. Could my phone have a bug or a hardware problem. Are there any known problems with  iOS 4.3.5?  Pretty frustrating problem so I'm hoping that someone has heard of this and can offer some suggestions on a solution.  Thanks a bunch.

    Did you used to have service and now suddenly you don't?
    This happened to me a few years back, and several other iPhone users in my neighborhood, and after a while on the phone with AT&T they figured out that a technician had recently adjusted the receiver/sender on the tower and it was slightly off. They sent them back up and I actually had a better signal after than I did before it went out.
    I would call AT&T and explain the issue you are having and see if they can fix it.
    If you never had service there then like wjosten said it's probably just a bad zone.
    Hope you get it sussed out.

  • IPad 3 freezes after upgrade to 8.0.  Never ever had a problem with 7, at all.  want to throw the stupid thing out.

    After upgrading from 7 to 8 my iPad 3 will freeze using email, safari, games.  I never ever had a problem before this upgrade.  Have done all the temporary suggestions but nothing is a permanent and will come right back.  I am so sorry that I upgraded, can not go back.  I really want to thank the IOS guys for screwing everything up.  Seems like old times with the Microsoft Tech guys.  I have no problem with my iPhone 6 Plus phone.

    It seems to be caused by roboform 7.5.1. I upgraded to the latest version of robo and it's working now. Sorry mozilla, not your fault.. very frustrated.

  • SOLVED - Has anyone had any problems with xorg 1.11.14-1?

    Last night I had a double catastrophe. The first was nothing to do with Linux, but was the result of a rogue drive trashing my sata ports and killing both Arch and Windows. I managed to rescue Windows, but since Arch was running at the time (and updating) nothing I tried could bring it back. After restoring from a backup (10 days old) I started the updates again (a gargantuan 415Mb) which completed, though after a reboot X failed to start. Nothing in the logs, and no activity at all. My usual fix is to remove xorg.conf and reboot, which will generally get me to the desktop to troubleshooting stage using vesa drivers instead of catalyst, but even this couldn't get me to a desktop. I tried removing catalyst altogether from single user mode, but nothing would fix.
    I restored the backup again, and did all updates except kernel, catalyst, and xorg. Everything worked fine, so next I updated catalyst - still working. A fresh backup and I updated the kernel. Still working, which means the only thing not updated at this point (and in my mind the most likely culprit for the failures) is xorg.
    Now I'm not daft enough to try updating before I make a fresh backup (I've remade several tweaks to my system that got lost after the original crash), but before I go to the trouble, I wondered has anyone else had any problems with the updated xorg?
    For info, I'm running on a Phenom X4 965BE, AMD 4670HD with catalyst 12.1, kernel 3.2.2-1.
    TIA

    Any idea where the problem was?
    X also fails to start for me now, when the catalyst driver is loaded. It used to work before, but after recent upgrades and changes to the system it's somehow broken.
    (Same catalyst and xorg versions as you mentioned, but with kernel 3.2.4-1)
    Switching to the open-source radeon driver makes X start fine, switching back to catalyst breaks it again.

  • Has anyone ever had a problem with your iphone working outside your home but not inside. The internet works fine in and outside of the house

    Has anyone had problems with your iphone working outside of the house, but not inside? Cannot make or receive calls, nor can I send or receive any text messages. This is something that just happened out of nowhere. Can I get some help please?

  • Has anyone ever had a problem with their screen going all "choppy" for lack of a better word. It happens when I go from one window to the next and they sort of mesh together.

    In addition to doing this today my mouse went all crazy and it was like I had no control over it. Once I restarted my computer it was fine. I took it into the genius bar a few weeks ago, but they couldn't find anything wrong with it. If anyone has experienced something similar OR has any idea what in the world might be causing this please let me know!

    Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
    doubt there's an issue there.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
    I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
    they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
    OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
    a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
    didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
    These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
    (and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
    Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
    I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
    Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
    Thanks....

  • Has anybody else had the problem with the wifi option being greyed out? I need to know how to fix it??

    I recently updated my phone software to iOS 6.1.3 and for the first couple of weeks, it was ok. but then until monday, the option to turn on the wi-fi has been greyed out so I can't turn my phone's wi-fi on which means I have to keep using my 3G coverage which will eventually cost me a fortune if I don't get the wi-fi greyed out problem sorted out as soon as possible. If anybody could help me with this problem (without having to take it apart or putting it into the freezer) please let me know as soon as possible.
    Thanks

    I have seen a few searches that indicate some people have had success by changing their wifi security settings.  Using none (not recommended) or using WPA2 with a strong pass phrase (longer than 8 characters) seems to work for everyone I've talked to.  I've not had this issue myself on any of my devices (2 iPhone 4, 2 iPhone 5, 2 iPad 2, all running iOS 6.1.3, and 2 iPod Touch 3rd Gen running iOS 5.1.1), but then again, my home wifi has had a strong pasphrase, and WPA2 for 7-8 years now.  I beleive that some people have had luck with performing a reset of network settings (but others have not, and claimed that it actually made things worse some how).  Some have had luck performing a device restore in iTunes, while others have claimed that did nothing but cause them to lose everything. 
    I know there is so much wifi congestion in my neighborhood that it is hard to find a channel that doesn't already have 2-3 routers using it.  It is possible that resetting your wifi router might help.  I know that when my iPhone wouldn't connect to my wireless network, it would usually clear up if I restarted the router.

  • Has anybody else had a problem with being charged 2 or 3 times by itunes?

    They have done this twice within the last 3 weeks and they are refusing to refund me for the 2nd overcharge.  The reason???->  They just gave me a refund for an overcharge.
    What kind of sense does that make?  I should be refunded no matter how many time they OVERCHARGE me.  So, I'm wondering how many people a day they actually cheat like this and how much money they actually make cheating people by deducting unauthorized funds from their account.
    When I buy my next tablet or smartphone, it will definitely not be an Apple product.  I'm sick of dealing with these gangsters!

  • Has anyone ever had a problem with usage calualtor not working, got a data over charge

    Been keeping track of my data usage from the general folder in settings. This past month I went over 3G's and when I tally up their recordings to mine it does not add up. Anyone else notice this problem.tks

    If you aren't receiving password reset emails and your security questions don't work, someone has hijacked your account.
    This happened to me.
    You need to use Expresslane to contact iTunes support to regain access to your account ASAP.

  • HT201401 have you ever had a problem with a foggy lens - blurry pictures?

    Looks like the lens in the back has a film over it.  It is blurry!

    Does it happen with pictures you take with the front-facing and the back-facing camera? Or just one of them?

  • New download won't open links, nor will it go to web addresses typed into address bar. Never had this problem with previous version.

    I just upgraded to the newest version of Firefox. In this new version it sometimes won't open a link even in a search engine such ask Yahoo. It also won't ever go to an address I type into the web address bar. I have never ever had this problem with a web browser so I know it's not me. I've never had this problem with Firefox before either. Please fix this bug.
    Thanks.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • How many had fan problems with PbG4 12?

    After only 3 years of very gentle care, my fan is growling and may need to be
    replaced. In my computer experience, I have never heard of a fan quitting in the
    first 3 years.
    But, is this a common problem of this model? If it is, then shame on Apple for building expensive
    computers with cheap components.
    So cast your vote:
    did anybody else experience fan problems with the PBG412?

    I've had my 12" PB for 4 years now, and I have ever had a problem with the fan. My has workeed fine from day one. I still use it from time to time and, in some ways, prefer it over my Macbook.

  • Problems with answering and making calls

    I have owned a Droid 2 for almost a year now. I love it! But for the last few months I have had a problem with answering and making calls. Sometimes when I answer a phone call it connects like I have answered the call but I can't hear anything and the other person can't hear me. The call says I am connected and I can see the timer going but there is no communication. It does the same thing when I go to make calls sometimes. I can hit send and it connects the call but I can't hear anything. The timer is going and the other person answers but I can't hear anything. The only reason I know they answered is because they then call me back and leave a voicemail, sounding very confused. I have to restart my phone and then the problem is solved. But only for a little bit. I haven't been able to pick out a pattern or anything. It is random and very frustrating. I went into my local Verizon store about the issue and they arranged for me to receive a new, certified pre-owned phone because I pay insurance on my phone. I received the phone the next day and everything went great, for a few days. But this phone is also having the same problem. I am getting very frustrated with this because I need to be able to actually talk to people when they call me. Anyone else having the same problem? I want to go back to the store but I feel like they wouldn't do anything more than they did last time, which didn't solve the problem.

    I have this same issue on a bi-daily basis: I can place a call, but then I hear nothing.  I can answer a call, but I then hear nothing.  The calls connect as the people I am in contact with will tell me they answered my calls and heard me, though I could not hear them - and vice versa.  Also, this phone does not like to place a call using the "call" option if dialing from "recent calls".  I turn this phone on/ off daily, I've taken the battery out on about 50% of the occassions when this issue has happened.  This has been a problem for me for approximately 1yr.  My early renew date is just shy of 2 months from now and I cannot wait to get rid of this phone.  Aside from having great difficulty making/ receiving calls, the phone is overall slow to respond to basic functions like text messaging or using the camera.  Also, most times while taking a picture, the camera will "take a picture" but then there is no image in the file.  Highly annoying - the only way to temporarily fix this is to reboot - but like the call issue, the problem recurs.  I do have a bunch of apps on installed on the phone, but since I also have an APP killer on the phone, nothing aside from "Weather Bug" app is ever really running in the background that would slow this phone.  BUT, right now my main concern is may safety: God forbid I am ever in danger or in an emergency situation, this phone's constant malfunctioning could possibly be the physical harm or death of me.  I hope that my family can sue the company that provides the software for this phone, Verizon & Motorola in the event of my untimely death.

  • ITunes 11 won't install on Win-7.  Had same problem with 10.7.  I've followed all the suggestions I can find, restored my computer many times, cleaned the registry... this is the worst software install I've ever seen!

    Had same problem with 10.7.  I've followed all the suggestions I can find, restored my computer many times, cleaned the registry... this is the worst software install I've ever seen!

    I kept getting the reminder to update itunes  11.1.4 on my Windows 7 laptop.  I now forget the error message other than it would stop and say something that itunes has stopped working and to do a manual d/l from itunes.  That did not work either.
    The suggestion to remove the Apple Software Updater from my programs solved this problem.
