Why is my extreme losing power while plugged into the wall? I have to unplug and plug back in.

My extreme loses electric power while plugged in. I have to unplug and plug back in. This has happend 2 times in 1 week.

It might help to clarify the conversation here, if we knew what version of the AirPort Extreme that you were using.
Do you have the newer "tower" version of the AirPort, which uses a regular AC power cord......or......do you have a previous model that is "flat or square" shaped, that utilizes both an AC power cord and a separate, outboard power supply that plugs into the AirPort Extreme?
Approximately, how old is the AirPort Extreme? If you could look on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme. then locate and post back with the model number of your AirPort, we'll know even more. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.

HT4946 My Ipad is plugged into the wall. It is locked and telling me to backup to icloud. The ipad will NOT unlock, even after I push ok. Help!

My ipad is plugged into the wall. It is locked and telling me to backup to icloud. I can not unlock it even after I press ok. Do you have any advice?

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo reappears, release both buttons and await restart.

If everything seems to be working OK, but the amber light is blinking, this might be a signal that there is an update available for the AirPort Express.
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup, then click directly on the word Status to check for messages.
If the printer is not working, I suggest that you perform a Factory Default Reset to get the Express back to new, out of box settings. Then, you can reconfigure the device again as needed.

Are there any problems using the Ipad while is is plugged into the wall and charging?

Are there any contraindications using the Ipad while it is plugged into the wall and charging???

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). 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.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

So my phone is plugged into the computer for a software update and the update went halfway through and hasnt made any advancements. how do i get my phone back without losing anything?

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

Do you know which iMac model family you have? There are four families dating back to 1998. Troubleshooting depends on that. This forum covers the first three families made from 1998 to 2005. iMacs newer than that get a separate forum.
Do you have the system disks that came with the computer? If so, and depending on model, you may be able to start from the CD/DVD and then make the jump to booting normally.
All computers has a little battery on the logic board that holds date, time, and some important startup parameters when the compuer is taken off wall power for a short time. If your battery was very old and died, then the settings the computer needs to start may have been lost when you unplugged it. For some Mac modles, booting from a CD or DVD gets around this temporarily, but ultimately the battery needs to be replaced. The internal batteries are cheap but can be hard to access on some iMacs like the G4 "desklamp" model

If my laptop battery dies for good, can I still have my laptop work while plugged into the wall?

It's a Toshiba Satellite laptop, made this year, Windows vista, yadda yadda. Look my point is, if my battery gets wasted to a point where it won't charge anymore, will my computer still work plugged into the wall? I can't afford to get another battery. I can't afford a pack of cigarettes.
(Friends suggest me to buy a new one, how about the laptop accessories store? www.laptopkeyboardsworld.com

I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too..

I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too. Any ideas? I'm guessing the only way is to do what I've seen in these community pages which states that it can be done but it will drop the bandwidth by 50%. Thoughts?? Thanks!

The Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G was one of the very few routers said to be compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) settings.
The info that I have on file indicates that only the WRT-54G versions 4 and under were compatible, so that would be one bridge to cross.
Even if you find that your Cisco/Linksys might be the right version, Apple never published instructions on how to configure the Express devices with other manufactures, so users were left to their own devices to try to figure out how to get things working. Apple's instructions to connect to other Apple devices are in the link below:
WDS network
If you were hoping to use 2 Express devices in this type of configuration...even if it works...the bandwidth penalties will be extremely severe.
The first Express drops the bandwidth (and speed) on the entire network in half and the second halves everything again. So, the result, in effect would be a "g" wireless network running at 25% speed. Few users would consider installing this type of network.
At this point, it becomes one of those things where the fact that you might be able to do something does not mean that there would be much value in doing so. But, it is your decision to decide if you want to try to proceed.

My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What are my next steps?

Hello Everyone,
This is my first time using the forum. My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What should my next steps be, besides trying a new charger as well as being the most cost effective?
Thanks

Hi ..
The battery may need replacing.
Check the battery maximum cycle count > Mac notebooks: Determining battery cycle count
And check the adapter > Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters

Why won't my iPad charge when I plug it into the wall?

When I plug my iPad into the wall, it doesn't always charge. Could the issue be the charger? Or is it likely the iPad itself?
Sometimes picking a new outlet helps, but not always.

1. Reset iPad
2. Change the USB cable
3. Try another charger

Can batttery be bypassed? do i have to unplug and plug into wall always?

hi, im looking at buying a macbook or macbook pro.
when i plug in the power adaptor to the wall socket,
the battery gets charged right?
isnt there a way to NOT use the battery, and so just draw
power from the wall socket?
cause mostly the laptop will be stationary in my room, with
music devives connected to it............will i have to unplug the adaptor
when the battery is full? or can i leave the adaptor plugged into the wall ALL THE TIME? .........do i HAVE TO unlug and plug the adaptor in accordingly to battery level????
if i take the battery out, and just plug into the wall, will this work???
thanks

Hi,
I'll second that opinion. MacBook Pro has a lithium ion technoogy battery that tolerates charging even when not fully discharged. There is a smart charge regulator in the battery pack itself that prevents over-charge. It is safe to leave the battery in the MacBook Pro and connect to wall power when convenient.
The typical number of charge/discharge cycles for the battery pack is around 300 to 500. The battery pack will gradually lose capacity as it ages.
Also it helpful to recalibrate the battery once in a while. Calibration gets the smart charge regulator back in sync with the actual capacity of the battery. Basically, calibration is using the computer until the computer wants to shut off because the battery charge is depleted. Then, fully charge the battery. The regulator will then figure out the actual working capacity of the battery. Calibrating assures the battery indicator in the menu bar shows an accurate estimated capacity.

My new iPhone 6 plus just went to a black screen and will not turn back on. If you hit the home button for siri to come on it still works, and if you plug it into the wall it makes the vibrate noise. The screen just won't turn on.

I was looking up a song on the internet, and my internet was being slow, so i was going to the settings to turn internet/wifi off so i could use data. When i did that the screen just went completely black. I didnt know what happened so i plugged it into a circuit into the wall to see if it needed charging. It made the buzz noise when i plugged it into the charger, and siri still works if you hold the home button down. I don't know what to do to get it to turn back on... If anyone knows what to do please help. thanks !

Hey there Maggie,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 6 Plus.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
Reset your device while it's plugged in.
If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
