Zen M 30 GB, responds to wall charger but....

loads to a 'zen' background page, silver letters black background, then acts like it goes to switch to another screen, I'd assume a battery charging format since it's a first charge, but freezes on the background with multicolored splotches in horizontal rows
also, does not respond to reset, I've tried several times.

When did you get this player? That should not be happening. Those are signs of a bad motherboard or bad screen. Both could be from using the generic charger.

IPad2 won't charge with 10w wall charger, but will via USB port

Hi all,
My iPad2 recently stopped charging at all with the 10W wall charger -- the iPad does not even recognize that the charger is attached (no change in the battery icon). Meanwhile, charging from a USB port works as otherwise expected. Here is what I have done so far to debug the problem, using tips found on this forum:
I replaced the wall charger, including the USB cable, with a new 10W charger from Apple -- no change;
I verified that both the new and old wall charger will charge a borrowed iPad3.
I verified that the same USB cable used with the wall charger will charge my iPad fine when connected to my Mac Mini or a borrowed MBA;
When connected to a powered USB port on a Lenovo ThinkPad, I get the expected "Not Charging" message, but eventually (12 hours) the iPad will charge;
I have performed a hard reboot of the iPad several times, with no change in behavior.
What I have not done yet:
6. Restore to factory settings -- trying to avoid this painful step if possible:
7. Visited the Apple Store -- not logistically convenient at this time.
Any tips from the community what else I might try? I find it curious that the iPad won't recognize a closed charging circuit from the wall charger, but will from a laptop USB port.
Thanks in advance for your time and advice.

Take it into the apple store.
I've had a 30 pin port go bad on my iPad. Said it was 'not charging' even though it was trickle charging, didn't wnat to sync, ,etc.
You very possibly have something internal wrong with your port and it'd be in your best interest to take it in. Especially if it's still under warranty because, barring any obvious signs of abuse or neglect, the 30 pin would fall under manufacturer's defects.

1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
If that doesn't work...
Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

My iPod won't charge on a wall charger, only on the computer. I used the same cord for both though. I used to be able to charge it with a wall charger, but now suddenly I can't. I've even used other wall pieces. Nothing seems to work.

My iPod will no longer charge with a wall charger, only the computer. I know it's not becuase of the wall piece or my cord, since I also use the same cord for computer charging, and the wall piece seems to work with others devices. It worked a couple of weeks ago, then suddenly quit. I think it may be something to do with the inside of my iPod where the charger goes. I find it really inconvient to always have to use the computer to charge my iPod. I believe I have a three year warrenty on my iPod, but I wouldn't think it would cover this problem. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

My ipod chargers from my wall charger but doesnt connect or charge from my laptop

When i want to put music on to my ipod i connect it to my laptop but it doesnt come up saying its charging and doesn't connect to my laptop or itunes anymore. It chargers with my wall charger though. I don't know what to do?

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Run this to help if it identifies the cause

Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

Phone won't wall charge, but will charge with car and USB inputs.

Yes, I have tried multiple wall chargers in multiple outlets, so the wall charger itself is not the problem. My car charger and computer USB charge the phone fine. What is going on?

Maybe there is a defect in usb-connector of your wall-charger.

Itouch will charge on wall charger, but will not charge or show up when I plug it into the computer. All I get is a double beep and nothing happens. I uninstalled and re installed itunes. I shut down the computer and shut down the itouch. What next?

I touch will not charge or show up on the computer. It charges on the wall charger. I uninstalled and re-installed itunes and I also restarted the itouch and the computer. What next?

Play it safe with the charging. Use the wall charger for at least an hour and then connect to the computer. If iTunes still denies that it exists, go here:

Ipod doesn't recognise wall charger but will charge through pc

I'm completely puzzled - its stopped picking up charge all of a sudden if I plug it into the mains although my OH ipod classic charges fine with the mains adaptor. If I plug it into the pc it is charging fine via that. I tried resetting it to see if that made any difference but it doesn't.
If I switch it off so it has a black screen and then plug the mains adaptor in the screen display doesn't light up but I can see images as though it is powering up.
Any suggestions - its out of warranty in Nov this year.

I have the same problem here. Charges via usb but will not charge via wall or car charger.

Use a Zen wall charger on an iP

I have a Zen V Plus and have the wall charger. Someone gave me a Nano iPod and I wondered if I can use the Zen charger with it. Thanks.

Most chargers output 5 VDC including the Zen wall charger. Just check on the back of the wall wart.
What you need is probably a mini USB to Ipod "conversion" connector for the "fruit company" music player.
When using your "fruit company" device tell me how the FM music plays on the device? <--- a bit of humor.

IPhone 4S only powers on when plugged into a wall charger, stuck in bootloop

Today I went to get my phone's screen fixed. At first, the problem was that the phone was rebooting every 3-4 minutes. Then, after it died, it doesn't power on anymore, except when it is plugged into a wall charger. However, it is stuck in a bootloop, where it shows the apple logo for about 7 seconds, then the screen goes black for about 5 seconds, then repeats. I can't unplug it or else the phone goes dead, and plugging it into my computer results in the same deadness. I've tried DFU Mode, Recovery and everything else when plugged into my computer, but it remains dead and black screened. The phone is not picked up at all, it doesn't power on or anything. It only powers on when it is wall charged, but it will bootloop. I can't get past this, and there is no way I can restore it. Help?

Your battery is dead. You will have to replace it see article:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
