  • Iphone 4 not charging and not being recognized by the computer

    I've had my iphone 4 for a little more than a year now and it wont charge or get recognized by the computer. I've seen things about battery and I wanted to see if there was anything else I could try before taking it to an Apple store

    Clean the dock connector.
    Reset or restart the device.
    Try a different USB port on the computer.
    Is it even recognized in Windows?
    Does it charge when connected to a wall outlet?

  • My zen vision m 30gb won't charge or turn on without p

    I have had it for about 2 years.
    I haven't used it for about a week during which time it has been completely out of battery power. I plug the charger into the mp3 and the the lightning bolt shows on the zen? but even after leaving it on charge for a good few hours overnight when i unplug it, it just goes dead, and won't come on.
    I then tried to charge it through the usb on my pc but it gets no power to the player. and therefore w0on't come on.
    I then tried resetting the zen and doing the above two again but got the sdame outcome.
    So i tried the the recovery method which wiped my zen free of everything ( i had backups, thankfully).
    Tried the first two thiong again but to no avail.
    I can do the last option which is the firmware option, because i can't connect to a pc.
    Has my zen mgone kaput or can it be saved?!
    tHANKS in advance

  • HT1414 My iPad is locked and not being recognized by my computer. How can I unlock it?

    My kids changed the iPad lock code and it is now locked. I am connecting the iPad to my computer, but it is not recognizing it.
    Is there another way to unlock it?

    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

  • Ipod Shuffle won't turn on or charge and isn't recognized by the computer

    My Ipod shuffle won't charge and isn't recognized by the computer , it turned orange than stopped and won't charge or turn on since. Does anybody has a solution please ?

    I have exactly the same problem with both my ipod shuffles. That suggests to me that it is a problem with the ipods rather than my PC or computer software. I'm surprised that no Apple tech has suggested a solution yet.

  • My iPod is stuck on the Apple logo and won't do anything! It won't turn on, doesn't give me the option to power it off, and to top it all off, it's not being recognized by my computer OR by iTunes when I plug it into my computer.

    So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!

    - I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod.  try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

  • My Macbook pro when plugged in will hold a green light and not be recognized by the computer to charge.  SMC reset done several times.  Any help?

    Our MBP bought earlier this year when plugged in to charge will hold a green light and not be recognized by the computer as charging.  Sometimes if we turn it around or plug it in multiple times will work.  We have reset the SMC several times and will work for a little while then go back to the same problem.  Any help or ideas on how to fix it would be great. 

    Hi Why must I,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having charging issues with your MacBook Pro. It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue; SMC resets are often an appropriate step for battery or power issues. If this issue persists, you may find the additional troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

    Note: If you reach the last step in the second article and it looks like you may need to have your MacBook Pro serviced, you may find this page useful:

  • My ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially died?

    my ipod shuffle won't charge after not being charged for a month... did the battery officially die?

    maybe you can control the room temperature.... i try to charge iPod shuffle beside the mini fan, so heat from shuffle can blown away... or maybe, you can charge the iPod in Air Conditioned room....
    i think this device have a mechanism to cut off the charging process if device temperature too hot. such a safety system so this ipod won't burn out when overcharging.
    i hope it can help you...
    and trust me IT WORKS....

  • Ipod 1st Gen Not Connecting to the computer and not being recognized

    Hi my friend is having some issues with her ipod first generation it is not being recognized by the computer when she plugs it in and when she opens itunes it does not show up. the only thing she can do is charge her ipod from the computer, if anyone can help that would be great thanks!!

    Could be any number of reasons.  One of them just may be your refusal to update iTunes.  Just because others are having issues does not mean you'll have them! 
    iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes 

  • My iPad is not being recognized by the computer, therefore, cannot sync.  It charges when plugged to the wall, but not when pugged to iMac.

    My iPad is not being recognized by the computer, therefore, cannot sync.  It charges when plugged to the wall, but not when pugged to iMac.

    Most common culprits include the cable. Try swapping it out for a different one.. or not having the most recent version of itunes. I once even solved this problem by shutting down the computer for 2 minutes. (the longer the better), with the ipad plugged in. starting it up... then itunes recognizes it, launches, and syncs.
    Apple has a troubleshooting assistant on this topic:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    It will advise you to reboot. I recommend shutting down instead.

    P.S The ipad should charge when asleep and plugged into your Mac. The charging behavior is normal. There isn't enough power out the USB ports to charge the ipad while it is on on some older Macs and nearly all PCs.

  • IPhone 3G not charging and not being recognised by PC

    I plugged my iPhone 3G into my laptop today to charge it, as the battery was extremely low and for some reason, it's not being recognised by my computer at all, and it's not charging at all.
    I've tried plugging it into a powerpoint in the wall as well, and it still doesn't charge.
    I plugged my iPod into my computer with the same USB cable, and it worked fine.
    If I hold in the power button at the top, the battery picture comes up with a tiny bit of red in it and the power cable -> charge pictures come up underneath, then the screen just goes black again.
    I've never had this problem before, so I'm not sure what to do.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same problem after the upgrade, but think I may have a solution. The problem doesn't seem to be that the phone isn't charging, it's that the indicator isn't showing that it has charged. Try this:
    1. Plug into the wall socket.
    2. Push and hold the power button, you should get a "slide to turn off" kind of message -- do it.
    3. Let the phone power off, and leave it that way for a slow count of ten.
    4. Turn it back on by pushing and holding the power button -- you'll get that black screen with the apple logo, don't panic, it just takes a minute to power up, you haven't lost anything.
    When it came on, the indicator showed it was fully charged from the night before. My concern is that the indicator got hosed by the upgrade.
    Try that out, let me know if it works -- and at your own risk. It worked for me as written, but I can't guarantee that will do the trick or not wipe your phone. I don't think so, it seems innocuous enough, just wanted to make sure you're aware there could be another resynch needed if it does do something else for you.

  • My ipod is not being recognized by my computer AND itunes

    When i connect my ipod, its not getting recognized by the computer AND itunes. i've read all the troubleshooting things and nothing works. is there someone who could help me please? i can't put any music, movies or anything on my ipod and just a while ago, all my songs got deleted so i'm listening to very little music now. please help me!

    Did you try using another usb port? my hardrive has two maybe yours does. And if you have a game console, some of those have usb ports so plug your ipod in there and see if that reconizes it.

  • Zen Vision:M 30GB won't power down; any ide

    I've had a 30GB Zen Vision M for a couple of months now! Awesome player, went through the usual round of recognition problems, but it's been working fine of late. My problem is, it won't power down now. When I try to power down, the unit says it's powering down, the dispaly goes black except for the battery icon. And it stops there. The blue backlight on the menu buttons stays on, the battery icon stays on, and eventually it turns off after 5 minutes because of being idle. Not a terrible problem I know, but a real niusance. I am running the most current firmware (have been for a while). I've tried resetting and clean-up. No change. I'm afraid of trying to reinstall the firmware, in case I have the same problem that many others are having, and go from a good player with a power issue, to a player that does nothing. I can't see it being the power switch itself, since it powers up fine, and tries to power down. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. birder

  • IPod 5th gen 30gig won't charge and isn't recognized by iTunes

    I recently replaced the battery in my iPod 5th gen because I thought that was the problem.  This fixed things temporaly and my iPod turned on for this first time in a long time.  However, now it won't charge or hook up to the computer.  I think this may have been the problem all along. 
    The charging port seems to be in good condition and pretty clean.  I have tried resetting it and resetting it while connected to itunes.  I also disconnected and reconnected the new battery.  I left it plugged in for sometime but it hasn't charged.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I really have no idea what the problem is at this point.
    Thanks

    I suspect that you have a completely dead battery.
    i got this ipod about a year ago
    If you mean 11 months, a battery replacement is under warranty but $30 shipping and handling. If you mean 13 months, a battery replacement is $59 + $7 shipping.
