Why isn't my computer charging/holding a charge?

I always charge my computer while I'm using it, as well as charging it when I'm not and the battery is depleted. I plugged my charger into my computer and the green light turns orange like it's supposed to, but then it turns off and says my battery is not charging. It will continue to go on and off. When I charge my computer for use the next day, the battery percentage decreases very quickly. If anyone knows why this is happening and whether it's my battery or my charger, please leave a response. Thanks.

    Did you try here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Does the computer have iTunes 10.7 or later?
    Does the iPod charge?
    Some 5G iPods were shipped with defective Lightning cables.
    Try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod, cable or computer problem.

    Why isn't my iPad2 charging its battery when connected with my iMac?

    A lot of computers, especially older ones (I don't know how old yours is), don't provide enough power through their USB ports in order to charge the iPad - it may still be charging, but at a low rate (it may charge quicker if the iPad's screen is off). If you want to charge it at a reasonable rate then the wall charger is better.

  • Why isn't my iPhone5 charging? the battery isn't turning green

    I just brought a new iPhone5 and it's not charging at all. I'm using the apple charger for it now. but it's been off for awhile now so I'm going to wait to see if its going to come back on in a few hours. when I press the sleep button, it says tht the battery is still red and it hasn't moved a bit. so idk if its charging or not.

    Hi DivineAngel,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Be sure to try these steps if your iPhone is not charging:
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

  • Why isn't my computer recognizing my iphone when it's plugged in via USB cord?

    I have tried using multiple USBs and, while they're charging my phone, it's not recognizing my iPhone on iTunes. My computer is making the noise that the phone was plugged in but then a message pops up on my iPhone asking me if I trust the computer I am using, either Trust or Don't Trust. When I press Trust, my computer makes the noise that the USB cord has been unplugged and my phone continues to charge. I really want to sync my iPhone up with my iTunes, but because of this, I am not able to. I would really appreciate some assistance.

  • Why isn't a "tickle charge" option in IOS ?

    The Battery problems is one of the biggest issues people talking about when it comes to Apple Products !!
    There is some good apps to buy from Itunes App Store .. Yes BUY!! Why Pay for it - It's Apples **** responsebillity!!
    This shouldn't be an APP option - it should have been in IOS from the beginning!!
    When I bought my 3GS for 3 years ago I bought a Battery Booster App and today that battery is better than all my friends phone from that time.

  • Why isn't my magnetic charging port not working

    Hi guys and g*rls I have bought a 3rd party battery case which covers the rear of the phone and has a built in battery for emergency charge if I (god forbid) run out of juice when im out and about.The only problem is, is it does not charge the phone, i have contacted the seller regarding this issue and they have sent me a second case to try but this is exactly the same.Is there an option somewhere in the phone where you have to enable magnetic charging? I am starting to think that it is my phone that is at fault as i had to send it off for repair due to the phone turning itsaelf off. perhaps when sony dismantled it a connection could of broken to the magnetic strip? clutchin at straws maybe? Thanks in advance Tony

    It depends on your country/region. Your local support team might be able to give you information on where you can go to test it.

  • HT1386 why won't my ipad charge from my computer - my iphone does! and where has my facetime and contacts icons gone?

    Why won't my ipad charge from my computer when my iphone does? also where have my facetime and contacts icons gone?

    A computer USB port does not provide enough power to charge and run the iPad at the same time but it will charge it if the iPad is turned off.  It will take about four times as long to charge than with the iPad charger.
    The Contacts icon may be inside a folder, such as Utilities.
    There is no Facetime icon.  Start a Facetime link from a contact.

  • HT4085 Why isn't "hold" an option for the side switch on the iPad?

    Why isn't "hold" an option for the side switch on the iPad?
    I'd like to be able to let my 3 year old watch videos on the iPad, but young kids want to touch the screen.  I need a method to disable the touch screen.  Seems simple, why isn't this an option?
    Is there a way to write an app that allows the side switch to act as a "hold" switch?

    The obvious solution is to put the iPad screen out of his reach.  Now that's innovative! 

  • Why won't my ipad charged when plugged into a computer?

    I have a new ipad and for some reason it will sync etc when plugged into one of our computers but it won't charge.
    My husbands one charges in the same USB port and on any computer but when I put my ipad into the same ports it says "not charging"why?
    Thank you

    Most computer USB ports don't have enough power to charge an iPad.  Typically, the iPad can only be charged with the supplied adapter.  If your husband's iPad is actually charging, it's charging very, very slow.
