When I plug my charger into my ipad4, I have to jimmy the cord to get it just right for the battery to start charging. Anybody else?

I think my charger has a short in the cord. I have to wiggle it and get it just right to get it to show that it charging.

Take your iPad cable to the Apple Store. Either the charging port or the cable is bad. Something will most likely need to be replaced.

    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
    Good Luck!

  • When I plug my device into my computer, it goes directly to the ITunes store. How do i get back to the main page with all my device info

    How do i get back to my device home page

    I had the same problem with mine when I connect the ipod when it's full charged and turn on. The problem never happen when the ipod is charging or i'ts full charged and it's turn off. So just turn off your ipod down and connect to your mac again.

  • When I plug my headphones into my MacBook Pro, and I turn the volume up, I hear the little bubble sound coming from the computer speaker. What is wrong with my computer? I don't think it's the headphones, because i've already tried two pairs.

    How can this be fixed?

    Hi DS,
    Thanks for the response. Unfortunatly those documents are of no help to me. I have tried several times to boot into the AHT, which didn't work. And attempting to do an internet recovery won't even allow me to log into my wireless network, even though I know the password is correct.Let us try to go through this step by step, as I've been doing.
    1) After resetting the NVRAM it still does not see any new hard drive, and I don't need to select the old HD to boot from it. If it is in it works.
    Therefore this means that it is
         a) not the SATA cable
         b) not the new hard drive because my friend got his replacement HD today and I checked them both out. They both work fine on my other friends new macbook pro.
    2) The old hard drive can boot up regularly, and the new one can be seen via the SATA to usb connector and booted from, but not via the internal SATA connector.
    Also, I still can't boot into Parted Magic, or any other rescue OS I have.
    This seems like a very specific problem, and it definatly wasn't anything I did. I followed troubleshooting steps like I normally do and it wasn't a clusterfuck as you so elequently stated.
    Please take the time to respond to all of my questions this time, I feel like you are overlooking some very important information.
    Thanks,
    RFJ3200

    why wont it let me do anthing else?

    Hello
    That is interesting, you should see different tabs like in the picture below for syncing content.
    If you do not, then you will want to back up your iPhone, either through iTunes or iCloud, and restore it and then try the sync again. If you are still running into issues, let me know and I can try to assist you further.

    - Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
    - Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button?

  • When I plug my iPhone into my computer it doesn't show up at all. Not on the computer or iTunes nor does it charge when plugged into the computer. It charges just fine when it's plugged into the wall .

    When I plug my phone into the computer nothing happens. The phone doesn't respond the computer doesn't show anything and ITunes doesn't show anything!

    I would not worry too much about the charging aspect of the computer connection for now.  I did notice that the last time I connected my iPhone to my computer the iTunes had changed and the only way I could determine that my iPhone was connected was by noticing a box at the upper right on the computer screen vs. the older graphical interface which showed the connected iPhone in a column on the left of screen.  My iPhone did not turn on and did not charge.  However the iPhone was connected and I could in-fact select Sync from one of the iTunes pull-down menus.  Again, for quite some time I though my iPhone was not triggering the computer at all when I connected it.  I use an iMac. 

  • My ipod touch 4 won't sync or register on my computer. The cord works, the usb port works, and when I plug my ipod into the wall to charge it work, but when i plug it to the computer nothing, not even charging. P.S. worked before I updated it.

    The cord works, theusb port works, and when I plug my ipod into the wall charger it works, but when I plug it into the computer, nothing, not even charging. P.S. it worked before I updated it to iOS  6.1.5

    You do have iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer, right?
    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • When I plug my iPad into a wall circuit and leave it for 18 hours the battery level only goes from 55% to 66% and then it quotes charging. Is this normal or do I have trouble with my adapter, it is the one that came with the iPad?

    When I plug my Ipad into a wall circut it will not fully charge, It only charges up to 66% does anyone no why?

    I can't tell you why it is doing this but it should not take anywhere near that long to recharge.
    Try another power adapter if you have access to one - borrow one from a friend, try another wall socket, another cable ... take it to an Apple Store and let them try to charge it for you.
    You can try resetting the iPad and see if that helps but I have my doubts - but it will not hurt anything either.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Your battery gauge may be giving you an incorrect reading - but I think that would be a long shot as well. How many hours of use do you get at 66%?
    You can read this about the iPad battery and how to maintain and care for the battery. .

    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

  • When i plug my charger into my iphone my phone doesnt let me do anything but when i unplug it , it works perfectly whats going on

    how come when i plug my charger into my phone my phone doesnt let me use it but when i unplug my phone im able to use it

    Hi Bella__,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive when it is charging, first try restarting or resetting the device:
    If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
    Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
    Restart your device.
    If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
    From:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • When you plug your ipad into your computer is it meant to charge?

    When you plug your ipad into your computer is it meant to charge ?

    Not necessarily...
    iPad Charging
    "The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included USB Power Adapter.
    iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
    When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

  • My brand new Ipad 2 is not charging the battery with py PC thru USB. Is that normal? When I plug it directly into the wall, it works... Thanks! Sam

    My brand new Ipad 2 is not charging the battery with py PC thru USB. Is that normal? When I plug it directly into the wall, it works... Thanks! Sam

    It talks extensively about charging in the user guide, and how USB ports on PCs and older Macs may not provide sufficient power to charge the iPad.  The user guide is available for free from the iBook store (accessed directly via the iPad iBooks app).
    My iPad charges fine when plugged in to the back of my iMac, but I would always prefer to use the mains adaptor to save the strain on my USB circuits (which can wear out if used heavily to power external devices).
