Default Having trouble adding R134

My guage is at the level just above the green level but is still in the blue (usually at the top end of the blue area). I can't get the line to accept the r134. When I press the button on the top of the can, the guage just goes to the red. When I release the button it goes back down to where it was before but does not add anything and the can does not get cold. I have three guages and they all show the same results so I know it isn't the guage. If I try to release some r134 from the car with a screwdriver it comes out. Am I doing something wrong? I have the car running and the A/C at 60 running full speed while I'm doing these tests. Thanks for any help.
