Why do my adapters keep dying?
I don't even move them around. I got this one in August and it's already acting wonky. I can't afford to keep replacing them. Sometimes it will charge with the light on it, sometimes the light will be on but it isn't charging and sometimes the light isn't on and it it isn't charging at all.
Greetings,
Are they damaged in any way?
Could be an issue with the port on the computer.
Could be an issue with an improperly grounded outlet in the wall plug. Make sure you are using the 3-prong extension cable that came with the adapter and not the 2-prong travel adapter.
If you are buying Apple Branded AC Adapters they are covered by a 1 year hardware warranty (just like every Apple product you buy brand new from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller): http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/
Contact Apple for evaluation / replacement:
Make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store or contact AppleCare via phone.
Cheers.

Why do my adapters keep dying? I've had 2 croak in the last four months. At $80 a pop, this is getting pretty costly.
Any way to fix these stupid little things?
About to turn a loyal Mac owner (20+ years) into a bitter ex-Mac owner. FEH!Welcome to the Apple discussion forums.
Are you using the 3 prong, with grounding, plug? Is it always plugged into the same outlet? Could there be a quality of electricity issue that's toasting your adapter? If that's possible, you may want to invest in a device that moderates the electricity into a narrower band, which also provides buffer against power spikes. There are a number of them on the market for computers. -
My iPad's battery keeps dying. When I plug it in and put it back on, the screen shows a drained battery. After a few moments it boots up. However, when I check the battery charge, it's at 52% or so. Can someone tell me what's causing this? And what can I do to fix it?
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).

Ipod Keeps dying :-(
so my video ipod keep dying on me whenever i go running...any ideas why or how to fix it? i dont want to lose my 5K songs...
As long as they are in iTunes you won't lose them. It sounds like your battery has died. You'll either need a new battery which can be a little difficult to replace, or a new iPod.

I don't get why my Apple ID keeps saying this device is already associated with an Apple ID and something about 90 days but also it doesn't let me download any of my pre orders when available it has happened to me twice and my past purchases can someone contact me and give me some help sorting this out
Much appreciated
<Email Edited by Host>Hi there
I'm getting a similar problem with my Macbook Pro. itunes match was working fine until two days ago when i created another 'user id' for the laptop and then an itunes account for that user under their profile. Now i cant turn on itunes match on my itunes under my user account. Contacted Apple today who said to use the Express Lane and email the problem and they might be able to make an 'exception' on the account. Otherwise I'll have to wait 88 days to access a lot of my music on the macbook pro. itunes match is still working on the iphone 4S and ipad2.
Can anyone help? The only thought was too re-stream the laptop. Ive already tried deauthorising the other user but it made no difference.
Thanks

You said "while it was restoring it said that there was an error ".
What was the wording of the error message?

Why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool?
why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool? It has never done this before last night. It filles the Whole lasso seleted box with (what it almost looks like) black and white caution lines. then when I go to zoom out, my zoom option starts to mess up where you cant click and move your mouse to zoom in/out with ease but where you have to click to zoom out (many times).
Can ANYONE help me?I am using CS5, WIndows 7, I am not sure how to tell if my drivers are up to, and I am more than happy to screen shot it.

I just bought a 5s and the battery keeps dying. I have noticed several people have had this same problem for awhile but I haven't really seen a fix.
I am loosing about 1% every 2 min as well. not very tech savy but I did turn off the LTE. I did originally let phone die all the way then charge all the way.
Have only had for 3 days should I start with taking it back and replacing? or does everyone think this is a software fix we are all gonna have to wait for ?
ThanksYou can try this link for some help http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/. I do not see my iPhone 5s behaving in this manner, so there has to be some settings that you are using that are giving you problems. Did you restore this phone from an older iPhone backup? If so, you might want to restore the device as new and start over and sync over individual parts to see what might be bad.

Why does my ipod keep on deleting my photos
why does my ipod keep on deleting my phots after i download it to the computer?
Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
- 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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- 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.

Why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute
why does my mouse keep losing connection every minute, its not the batteries
I'm having the same issue. Every so often it loses connection then re establishes. This goes on repeatedly.
If you change batteries while the computer is still active then it takes for ever to re connect.
Can't wait until someone replies to your question.
