Why will my iphone 4s NOT charge unless it is powered all the way off? can't car charge, wall charge or computer charge...help!
I have done all system updates and still having problems. phone is 2 mos old--help!
I checked with the Genius Bar. It was a new dilema to the lady that was helping me. She took it to a back room and worked on it but it came out the same. She gave me some options for repair or credit for replacement.
I just kept the phone and put up with slowly charging it by plugging it in and then turning it off.
I couldn't transfer anything from itunes.
I finally got fed up and bought a new charging port for $10. and a toolkit for $3. I looked up a video on youTube for the replacement and did it.
That solved all the problems, it was the charging port, must have been some bad pins or something because it patially worked.

HT1476 Why will my iPhone 4S not charge when it is plugged in?
I have plugged my iPhone 4S into a computer and it will not charge, even though the computer recognizes the phone as an external device.
What should I do?What happens when you plug the phone to the wall outlet using the same usb cord?

Why will my iPhone 4s not turn off?
Why will my iPhone 4s not turn off?
I may be experiencing a similar problem. My scenario is that the phone (4s) is 2 weeks old and won't power off. I hold down the button on the upper right for a few seconds, an option comes up to swipe to the right to "power off" the phone. I swipe this to the right and the phone powers off for only a few seconds and then automatically turns itself back on. This is a new problem for this phone. I was able to power it off previously, so I'm confident that it's not "pilot error". Here's something curious; if the phone is plugged into a wall charger it will power off and stay that way until disconnected from the outlet, even if the charger is still connected to the phone. I took this phone to an Apple store and the guy that helped me cleaned out the charging port claiming it was dirty and was successful at getting the phone to power off. However, by the next day the phone would not power off again. I found the dirty port thing a little curious while telling this story to a work mate and seeing his iPhones charging port clogged with plenty of visible dirt, lint and who knows what else, yet his phone works flawlessly. My charging port looks perfectly clean.

If you are asking about an iPod Touch, then you might have better luck if you posted this in the iPod Touch forum.

My camera is not working, and I have tried all the ways possible to get it working, but no luck. What do I do?
Having tried all the ways possible to get it working, contact your retailer again and politely tell them they did not yet satisfactorily resolve your trouble. Their Apple-Authorized Service Provider will be able to repair it.

when i plug in my charger to my macbook and have it charged all the way i can only use it for an hour before it dies on me again. what is wrong with my macbook? what can i do to fix it?
Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report in 10.7), then select Power from the left hand column of the System Profiler. Copy and paste the Battery Information back here.
Also it would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report in 10.7).When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier. -
TS1424 2 songs were cut off and not downloaded all the way, what can i do
2 songs were cut off and not downloaded all the way, what can i do
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
Why will my iphone 4s not accept my credit card
Why is my iphone 4s not accepting my credit card always comes back with declined no matter how much money i have in my account
Is the card registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know why it's being declined (we are fellow users on here, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Why will my iphone 5c not ring in the sleep mode?
Why wiil my iphone 5c not ring in the sleep mode?
I have an intermittent issue with my phone not ringing in sleep mode. The Apple store replaced my original 5c yesterday, and now my new phone has the same issue. DND is off, nor is the silent toggle switch set to silent. It is maddening as I have to keep waking my phone only to see calls and texts that I've missed. Anyone have a fix? I'm powering down and on but not fully resolving.
