  • Is anyone else having an issue with the iPad not charging if you use it while it's plugged into a power source?  Now that I'm on iOS 7, I either charge or use... Not both.

    No problems here.
    Edit...
    My IOS-7 is on an iPod Touch.

  • I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm travelling and trying to back up my new iPhone to iCloud. I have sufficient storage, am connected to wifi and it's plugged into a power source and yet it doesn't seem to work at all. I'm currently in India. Could that be the cause or can anyone suggest any reason why this wouldn't work?

    "gets stuck" - are there any error messages?
    If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test:   Go to...
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options.  Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup.  If that doesn't work, then this post will not help.  If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup.  If successful, keep repeating these steps.  If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail.  (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
    This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.

  • Is there a way to do a firmware update without being plugged into a power source?

    I have a Macbook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and the indicator light on the Magsafe power cord is not lighting up. I know the cord works because I have tried it on a different computer but it is only this macbook that it doesn't work on. I have reset the SMC. I do need to do a firmware update but when I try to do the update it the firmware it will not let me update because the computer doesn't know that its connected to a power source. When I look at the battery life indicator on the right hand corner it says that its calculating but never changes.
    I was using the computer running on battery life and it turned off. I was able to turn the computer on. The computer powers on and off but i'm assuming its going to run the battery power. I don't have another battery to try on this computer. Are there any suggestions?
    Firmware update 1.4 is what i'm trying to install

  • Are my devices supposed to wi-fi synce even if they are not plugged into a power source?

    My three devices are checked to wi-fi sync for windows 7 iTunes, iPad 2, iPhone 4s and iPod touch 4th G.  When I launch iTunes all three devices appear under DEVICES after a few seconds. Now if I click on my iPad's name or my iPhone's name under DEVICES it'll go to the section where I'm ready to sync that device well if I click Sync at the bottom right it reads at the very top where the Apple logo is Syncing "my iPad name" Looking For iPad...for a few seconds then a error message in the middle of the screen that reads " The iPad "My iPad name" could not be synced because the iPad could not be found on the network."  However if the devices are plugged into a power source the sync process begins automatically as soon as iTunes has been launched and loaded without me doing anything cause I've checked the box Open iTunes when this iPad is connected. This way seems to be working flawlessly.  Is it not supposed to sync if its not plugged in or it's just being a crappy Windows 7 iTunes?  I know for a fact that I've wi-fi synced without them plugged in. Won't matter if I initiate the sync from the device, same thing happens except then it won't show the error message in the middle of the screen reads " The iPad "My iPad name" could not be synced because the iPad could not be found on the network." the device under DEVICES just vanishes and won't reappear unless I close iTunes and re start it.

    You appear to be "forcing" this Sync to happen - regardless of any possible consequences.
    In other words, you are deliberately testing the system. Well, that's up to you, but if you use Wi-Fi to Sync even though you're not connected to power, you risk losing data (or it becoming corrupted) if when the battery runs down.
    If the battery runs down flat (and the iPhone/iPad stop working) during a Sync, you can be sure that will cause you so many issues with lost or corrupted data, that you'll wish you hadn't forced anything.
    It's up to you, but why would you want to do that... ?

  • My ipod nano 6th gen will only turn on when plugged into a power source.

    My ipod nano 6th gen ONLY turns on when it is plugged into a power source. As soon as I unplug it, it turns off. I also tried to reset it and it did not help. Any suggestions? 

    Howdy mela1223,
    If I understand correctly your iPod will not stay on unless you have the charger plugged in even after resetting it. Normally this would indicate a hardware issue that would need a repair but to cover all the bases before that, the last troubleshooting that can be done for it would be to restore it with iTunes on a computer. 
    Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage. 
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I inherited an 2003 ipod from my daughter. The controls will not work when it is plugged into a power source. Can anyone help?

    I inherited a 2003 ipod from my daughter. The controls will not work when it is plugged into a power source. Can anyone help?

    But they work normally when not plugged in?  What kind of power source are you plugging it into? It maybe outputting more than what the iPod can handle.  I had this happen to an iPod I plugged into a powerstrip that was plugged into the cigarette lighter in a vehicle an experienced the same thing.

  • For some reason the speakers on my phone do not work unless it is plugged into a power source.  Why?

    For some reason the speakers on my phone do not work unless it is plugged into a power source.  Why?

    If no change after the following steps, your iPhone likely has a hardware problem.
    Power your iPhone off and on.
    An iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    Restore your iPhone with iTunes from the backup.
    Restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

  • My computer's power adapter is plugged into a power source, yet the indicator light is not working and my computer is not being charged.

    My computer's power adapter is plugged into a power source, yet the indicator light is not working and my computer is not being charged.

    I have the same issue.
    The magsafe goes orange for about 20 seconds, the battery shows 0% then it goes to a black X indicating no battery installed.
    With a new battery the same happens, although it can run on battery but does not charge.
    It runs fine on mains power, the green light is always lit.
    I have tried several things so far:
    1. Cleaned the magsafe contacts on cable and macbook
    2. Reset SMC and PRAM
    3. Installed latest battery update
    4. Tried new battery
    5. Put old battery in fridge for an hour
    I work in IT and am fairly confident taking it apart, what should I try next?
    Some people recommend a new battery connector, which doesn't seem to make sense as the battery has never been removed before.  Also some people say it will need a new logic/motherboard.
    Any experts here managed to sucessfully fix one of these?

  • Upgraded my iPad with the iOS 8.3 software.  This morning, the iPad has low battery, even though it was plugged into the power source.  It's now plugged in, but I don't think it's charging. I have a black screen and nothing else! Any thoughts? Thanks

    My iPad was upgraded to iOS 8.3 software while plugged in.  This morning, the battery is almost dead, and I have a black screen.  Not sure the iPad is even charging! Any thoughts on what to do? Thanks.

    The update is iOS 8.1.3 not iOS 8.3.
    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Why am I able to do a wifi sync sometimes even when my iPhone and iPad is not plugged into a power source?

    It was my understanding that the ios device needs to be plugged in to a power and connected to wi-fi to be able to do a wi-fi sync.  But sometimes when i attempt to do this it'll start to sync and complete the sync.  Also at times it'll start to sync then fail.  How does this thing actually work?  Its actually pretty unclear...not like the rest of the stuff this company offers. 

    You appear to be "forcing" this Sync to happen - regardless of any possible consequences.

  • IPad won't stay on unless plugged in to power source

    If I have my iPad 2 plugged in to the wall it will work just fine. However, as soon as I take it off the charger it dies. The battery meter is staying at 40% regardless of how long I leave it on the charger. I was able to perform a restore through iTunes, but it didn't fix the issue.
    Do I have a defective unit, or is there another fix that I have not thought of yet?

    Hi,
    Not sure what you mean by a charger.
    Use the power adapter that came with your iPad and connect to a wall outlet. That will charge the battery the fastest or connect using the USB cable that came with your iPad connect to your computer.

  • HT201401 MY NEW PHONE WILL NOT WORK UNLESS CONNECTED TO THE POWER SOURCE

    My iphone 4 has been faulty since getting it on contract with 3mobile in jan.  The phone will work when plugged into a power source but not otherwise.  I have contacted apple and followed their inistructions but still not working.  Some one has told me it sounds like the charger connection within the phone does anyone else have this problem ??? i am losing patience with both apple and 3 now

    1. Try doing a hard reset while connected to the adapter:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    2. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
    In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    Good luck
