USB charging in PC is not working

Please I need help.. I charged my xperia z1 in my car using a generic car charger and a USB cable. Unfortunately, the charger suddenly short circuited. Then when I tried to connect my phone again in PC, the charging led indicator & icon is not working anymore. Although my phone is still charging over a wall outlet. What could be the possible problem & solution for this? My xperia is just 3 months old, and I'm so frustrated for what happened...

Hi mh4bz
i believe since short circuit happened, there might be issue with the cable, since you can able to charge phone using Wall charger that's great, it shows that your phone is working fine, so if you able to find different USB cable from friends borrow for a while and check whether it charges or not, if it is charging with your friends USB, then you better buy a cable from shop

IPod Touch 4g USB Charging Cable(s!) Not Working. Went through 5 in a year.

I've had my 8 gb iPod Touch 4g since November 12th, 2010. I bought it from Target (so its not covered under warranty anymore) love it and use it for many hours every day, but there is a problem with the USB charging cables.
When I got my iPod, it came with the standard Apple charging cable. That cable worked for a few months (maybe... 3?) and all of a sudden stopped working. When I used my friends cord, it worked perfectly fine. She had the same exact model and cord as I did. I ended up just buying a replacement cord, thinking that this was just a fluke or whatever. No such deal. I purchased a third party cord from amazon, and it worked for a few months again. (Let me note that I also got a car and wall charger with it, those work perfectly fine to this day.) Once again, all of a sudden it broke. And again, I tried a friend's cord and it worked fine.
I ended up buying a third and fourth cords, which was also third party, and after that broke, I was fed up and went to the Genius Bar for an appointment. I explained my problem, and they made an appointment with me. Eventually, they just said to buy another cord, this time Apple brand. I did, and it has been working fine up until tonight, when it just stopped charging.
When I say that the cords broke, I mean that all of a sudden they would stop charging my iPod, no matter where I plugged it in. (computer, wall, car, etc.) It would/will only charge if I bent it a very certain way, and then I would need to hold it there, which I obviously can't do for hours. (;
I would take this apple cord back now, since I believe there is a warranty (although, I need to double check that when I can get to the papers.) if it weren't for the fact that, from use, the coating/white plastic of the actual cord has split and you can see a few of the wires. I will have to double-check if this is covered, though because of the outside appearance, I doubt that they would take it back. This has not happened with any of the other cords, however.
What should I do? Would restoring help this problem? I have been contemplating the idea for a while, but having to re-download/etc all of my apps, music, etc., is not the most appealing idea to me.. I have reset a few things a while back, though I cannot remember what they are, sadly.
Currently, my iPod is running iOS 5, as I just updated it about a month or so ago. Before that, it was running what the iPod touch 4g originally came with... I believe it was 4.2.1?
I really love my iPod, but am fed up with having to buy cords every few months, as I have gone through four or five in just a year.

I think stevejobsfan has misunderstood your problem.
You specifically state that in one case you can see the inner cord and wires of the lead. So, either - you are mis-handling the cord or a pet is chewing it. So, if you don't have a pet - it's you.
When you remove the cord from the iPod (or from the other end of it) you should handle by the plug, not the cord itself. If you pull the cord you are straining the connection between the cord and the plug and that will eventually cause that connection to break.
If this had happened to just one cord, maybe it's the cord. If it happened to several of the same make from the same source, perhaps it may have been a faulty batch. But for it to happen five times, with cords from different sources and different manufacturers - everything points to the cord being handled too roughly.
Buy another cord - but in future, remove it by gripping the plug and not by pulling on the cord. This applies to any cord or lead, including mains powered devices. If you have any other cords for any other product, I suggest you check them for damage because damaged cords can be a fire risk and create a risk of electric shock. Mains voltage can kill.
Another thought; if you wrap cords - including headphone leads - around anything (such as the charger itself), wrap it loosely. A tight wrap also strains the cord to plug connection.

My apple usb adapter for iPad dose not work any more

I use USB adapter before , but can not work any more

Can you try it with someone else's adaptor to make sure that is where the fault lies?
Make sure it is connected directly to the wall socket and not through a two way adaptor.
Move both ends of the cable slight to make sure there is not a loose connection.

Till my last software update on my MacBook Air I have been able to use my iPhone as a modem via USB. Now it's not working anymore. Other functions via USB are still fine. Any ideas???

Till my last software update on my MacBook Air I have been able to use my iPhone as a modem via USB. Now it's not working anymore. Other functions via USB are still fine. Any ideas???

The Mac was recently upgraded so it is the Mac, or is it?
Looking for a common denominator: I'l start with wi-fi as the common communication medium.
Known:
A) Broken: iPhone —> wi-fi —> Mac.
B) Broken: iPhone —>USB—> Mac.
C) Broken: iPhone —> Bluetooth —> Mac.
D) Working: Mac —> USB —> other USB devices.
Unknowns:
E) Test Mac —> wi-fi —> a non-iPhone router.
F) Test iPhone —> wi-fi —> another wi-fi device.
Given not A, not B and not C either the Mac or the iPhone could be the culprit.
1) E        | F        : Non sequitur (deepens the mystery).
2) not E | F        : The Mac is the common denominator.
3) E        | not F : The iPhone is the common denominator.
4) not E | not F : All heck broke loose.
For case 1: It would be something on the Mac that prevents it talking to the iPhone through three media even though it can talk to other routers over wi-fi. That would be weird indeed, given the iPhone is talking to other wi-fi devices with no trouble.
For case 2: All of the Mac’s intranet media broken (wi-fi, Bluetooth, and wired-USB) and at least wi-fi works on the iPhone. Something weird is going on in the Mac.
For case 3: The iPhone router function is broken. Upgrade the iOS? Test using another iPhone?
For case 4: Throw everything in the trash and start over.

Charging Cable ~ Should This Not Work?

Like many other I have found that my car charging cable does not work with my iPhone 3G, but I thought I had a solution, which as it turns out did not work ~ but why?
Previously when charging my other ipods in the car, I used a simple device which consisted of an adapter that went into the Cigar Lighter socket (Sorry Power Socket) which at the other end allowed a USB charging cable +(the same as the one used to charge via the computer USB port)+ to plug into it and the other into the iPod and then charge.
This worked just great. So if the cable which came with the iPhone 3G (I know its the same as all other such cables, but I was playing safe) works fine when connected to the computer and iPhone 3G Dock, +why when that cable is connected to my iPhone 3G and plugged into the cars power socket, does it not charge,+ bearing in mind that this new set-up will charge the ipods just as it did with the other older USB cable?
Can anyone enlighten me please or has anyone found a solution?

The adapter you have for you car's power outlet is attempting to charge the iPhone via the firewire pins in the dock port on the phone. In the iPhone 3G charging via the firewire pins has been eliminated, it now only works via the USB pins. Most car adapters will use firewire because it can carry 12V which is what the car is already supplying so no step down is needed because USB only does 5V.

Need help one USB Port on MacBook Pro not working

Its been a weak now and im getting tired of my MacBook pro USB not reading anything.. It wont read/connect usb drives, IPods/IPhones/IPads, and Android phones. I have tried the PRAM and SMC resets and nothing has worked i even left my Macbook pro off for a whole day. ITS ONLY ONE PORT NOT WORKING, i took it to bestbuy because its closest to me but geek squad just did what i explained above and told me get a USB hub and NO! i want to fix this issue... Anyone has had this happen can you let me know if its because the USB port is no longer working or a software issue... Also i keep getting this notification telling me USB devices disabled draining to much power but i have nothing connected!!
ps- my MacBook Pro is getting very hot fast and it happens when im not even using it, i get home and it very hot could there be another hardware failure i dont leave applications open when i sleep it.

It sounds like you might have a hardware problem. Your best bet is to go to the Genius Bar. The evaluation is free, and they'll fix it if you're under Applecare. Back up your stuff first though.

My MagSafe Charger / Power Supply is not working

I am using mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro with 85W MagSafe . My operating system is Lion 10.7.4.
I heard a "click" coming from the direction of where my charger and just before and now its not working.
The light is not coming on the charger itself
No power is shown be coming into the computer on the Desktop toolbar either, nor does my computer that there's a charger plugged in.
I have tried the charger in a number of the different sockets around the apartment and still no joy
The transformer "block" is cold
Could this be a s simple as a blown fuse in the plug or something else altogether?
I need to fix this asap. No power = no computer. All help much appreciated.

I've copy and paste info from under AC. The MagSafe charger is physically connected, the report says that is not connected and not charging.
Any tips on where I can get cheap new Apple charger (60W MagSafe)? Thanks to you
both.

Nokia Charging Stand NFC does not work on 920

I just received my Nokia Charging Stand DT-910 to go with my ATT Nokia 920.
1) I ordered the black stand. The stand and proprietary cord are black, but that huge AC charger is actually white. I can't believe that they didn't match the color on such an expensive accessory.
2) The actual NFC functionality does not work for me on the 920. Yes, when I tap the 920 to the base of the stand, I correctly get the NFC popup, and when I accept it takes me to what is obviously the Nokia software. The screen is titled "Charging Stand", and it starts on the Set Up page. It shows a diagram of the charging stand. The problem is that this app hangs. The progress dots on the top of the screen never stop moving. And the list where I am supposed to choose the application to open stays greyed out and never responds. It just continues hung like this forever, or on one occasion the phone rebooted itself.
Is there a fix for this? The software hang is making my stand useless in terms of it's NFC functionality....

You can actually get to more support options from that link, like here, http://www.nokia.com/us-en/support/contact/ which offers chat and phone numbers. Not sure what could happen in this case though, as there just seems to be some issues in the NFC implementation. Seems it varies a bit between devices, but overall has some issues. I would guess the number of folks with a wireless charge capability, that also know about this forum is probably small, but I'm sure the issue will gain some visibility as more folks give it a try. As I said I got it past the streaming dots and selected an app to launch, but now I have the interminably slow app launch. The same app that springs up instantaneously from the start or program menu, takes 5-10 minutes to launch when initiated via the NFC tap. I've just turned this off for now, as I expect some software update at some point. I have done some other NFC stuff with marginal success. Tapping the charging base to start an app is not a make or break feature for me. If it is for you, contact Nokia directly, rather than through this user forum.
