Welcome to Apple Discussions.

    why wont my phone charge when i plug my usb into my macbook air?

    Most USB ports can't supply the power required to charge a phone.
    The original USB port was limited to 0.5 amps at 5 volts which is 2.5 watts.
    Your phone probably has a 10 watt charger.
    Recent machines allow more power from the USB port but I doubt they allow 2 amps which is what would be required to get 10 watts.  Even if they did a 2 amp draw is going to be a heavy load on the MBA battery.

  • Why wont my battery charge past 95

    why wont my battery charge past 95%

    Battery may not show a full charge in Mac OS X
    If the battery icon in the Finder menu bar is set to show the percentage of charge , you might sometimes notice that the battery does not attain a full 100 percent charge when the power adapter is attached. This is normal behavior; battery life is maximized if charging is not continuously cycled on and off when the battery’s charge capacity is between 95 and 100 percent. When the battery level eventually drops below 95 percent, it will charge all the way to 100 percent.

  • Why wont my iphone charge from my computer after ios 7.1 update?

    I have a windows 8.1 PC.  I use it for work.  I also have an iphone.  Today, I updated the ios on my phone to 7.1.  During the update, the phone was connected to my PC usb port with the apple charging cable to keep it charged.  The update finished, and I noticed that the battery was at 66%.  It was 100% before I started the update.  There was no lighting bolt/charging symbol.  I disconnected the phone from the computer.  I plugged it into the apple wall charger.  It charges from that.  I tried another apple cable on the PC.  Still no dice.  I do get the sound from the PC that a device is being connected/disconnected when I plug/un-plug the cable from the phone on the PC.  When the phone is connected to the PC, It won't show on "this PC" as any device.  I did try re-starting the PC.  I did update Itunes, and did a back up of my phone before the update, using the exact same cable. 
    Why is my iphone 4G w ios 7.1 not charing when connected to my Win 8.1 PC?

    I never had to do this with any computer on my iphone 3 or 4G on any computer.  Would have been good to know, apple.

  • Why wont my phone charge properly?

    I try charnging my iPhone 5, and I have to blow into the connector and twist the cord around my phone so it can sit there and charge, if I move it in the slightest it wont charge. My phone vibrates non stop through this process, and it is extemely annoying. Do I have to bring it to an apple store?

  • Why wont ipod 5G charge

    For Christmas 2012, I got an ipod 5g. Now its july 2013 and my ipod wont charge at all! yesterday it was charging normally and then it would only charge if the charger was at a certain angle. I dont have any spare chargers. My ipod was brand new.It wont charge to anything ive tried my computer, USB adaptor. I've blowed in the charging hole and nothing has happend! Ive tried pressing the home button and off button but it doesnt do anything! Please help!!!

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why wont new ipad charge done a reset pluged in all night no joy please help

    new i pad wont charge

    Not sure from your question how you are trying to charge your iPad. Many users try to charge by connecting the iPad to a USB port on a computer. The best way to charge your iPad is to use the charger that came with it and plug that into a known good wall outlet.
    If you are using the charger plugged into the wall and the device is not charging you should
    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Then make absolutely sure the wall outlet is good. If the iPad still won't charge the problem lies in one or more of following:
    Charger is faulty.
    Cable is faulty.
    iPad socket is faulty.
    Charging circuit in iPad is faulty.
    If you now someone with an iPad ( doesn't matter which model) you can try their charger to eliminate that.
    Borrow someone else's lightning cable to eliminate that.
    If still no joy, make an appointment at an Apple store to have them look at your iPad, cable, charger, etc.

  • HT1476 why wont my iphone charge from my new computer?

    My iphone 4s will not charge from my new computer any ideas?

    Fault with new computer's USB port - does it work with other devices? Have same problem on another computer?
    Fault with cable - Tried another cable? Does cable work with other "idevices"?
    Dirt in iPhone charging port - look and clean out gently with soft dry toothbrush or similar
    Fault with iPhone - reset / restore
    Take your choice.

  • WHY WONT MY IPHONE CHARGE!?HELP PLEASE!?

    Soo I've had my iPhone 5 now for a little over a month.. Everything was cool, but tonight my phone won't charge!! It's Dead now , I've been SO careful with my phone . So I know I didn't tear it up .. When i noticed it wasnt charging At first when I would jiggle the cord around it would charge , but now it's not doing anything .. It's just completely dead 
    Can someone PLEASE help?????????

    Hi - if the cable fits tightly at each end then it sounds like you have a defective cable - it is still under warranty so I would start by contacting Apple and see what they say - go to - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ - when you do get a new cable, be sure to let the phone charge for several hours before you turn it on because it does not work directly from the charger.

  • Why wont my phone charge

    Hello
    I wonder if anybody can help!
    My iphone will not charge first it displayed charger not recognised and then nothing afterwards!
    Have tried different chargers and still nothing!

    Try cleaning out the dock connector on the phone. Use air to blow anything out in the connector. Sometimes that will cause the charging to not work.

  • I uploaded the giftcard money to my itunes account. and now when i try and buy a song it keeps saying that it has to charge my card. why wont it let me use the giftcard money? how can i fix this?

    i put money to my itunes account. and now when i try and buy a song it keeps saying that it has to charge my card. why wont it let me use the giftcard money? how can i fix this?

    If you still have your old card listed on your account then try selecting the 'none' option and remove it and then try entering the card's details from scratch. If that doesn't work then what is the full error message that you are getting, and the card is registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing) that you have on your iTunes account ?

  • Why can't i charge Nano while listening to Nano?

    I've got my Nano plugged into its desk stand, and the audio plugged into my speakers. But when I plug the USB into any computer (office PC or home Mac) the Nano stops playing and just sits and charges. Is this an intentional design feature of Nano? I am able to simultaneously charge and listen to my 1st Gen iPod (connected via firewire) without any problems...making the Nano not quite as convenient to use.
    I haven't loaded iTunes onto my work PC and don't want to, because it's not my property and IT frowns on it. Besides, I don't want to have to fool with iTunes every time I plug the Nano into USB... all I want is to play the Nano while charging it.

    Switch the iPod to Manual Syncing before going to work, then when you plug into the work PC it will only charge but not take command of the iPod so you can still play it.
