IPhone 4 will not charge by wall outlet

My IPhone will only charge on my Laptop. It will not charge by wall outlet. It use to, then it stopped. I have bought new plugs and everything but doesnt work. I have charged my Ipod by the same plugs and they work, so I am puzzled. any ideas?

Do you have a 4 or a 4S?
I would take it to an Apple Store. This is not an issue I can really troubleshoot over the internet.

Try another outlet to make sure that isn't the issue. If it still doesn't work you will need to replace your charger.

My iPhone 4s will not charge using wall charger unit. It will only charge when connect to my computer UBS., My iPhone 4s will not charge using wall charger unit. It will only charge when connect to my computer UBS.

For about a month, I have to charge my iPhone 4S using my laptop UBS connection. It will not charge from the wall unit. I always update the OS. Is there any settings that I might have changed by mistake?

I have the same issue with my partners 4S. I have a iphone 4 and my phone works on mains powers - we have 3 different charges we have all tried on hers and do not work but work on mine. We have tried every outlet in the house and same issue, works on mine doesnt work on her 4S.
The issue only started about a month ago. It started with only charging from mains if turned off - then the phone would refuse to stay turned off - now it wont charge at all from mains but works fine from a PC.
Its a very odd one as if it was something wrong with the docking port it surely shouldnt work through PC then?

HT1384 iPod Classic will not charge from wall outlet

My iPod Classic 80G will charge from my computers and my iHome dock, but not from the wall outlet. The cord, outlet, and adapter all work. We know the regular adapter works, it's an Apple universal USB to wall adapter that charges our iPad. We tried other cords (have two), other outlets, and even my kindle 2-prong adapter. Nothing worked. Suggestions?

Hello there, Anhaja.
First off, great job in your isolating steps performed already. One step that wasn't mentioned is found in the following Knowledge Base article:
How to reset iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
For your particular model:
How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

IPhone 4 will not charge from wall... help!

I've had my iPhone 4 for going on two years and never had any major issues with it. As of the last couple days, I'm having a major problem charging my phone. In the beginning, it wouldn't charge from the wall or via USB on my laptop. However, it would charge via USB when plugged into a regular windows PC. Really strange if you ask me.
After browing through some similar questions already asked on here, I found a solution for the laptop problem. I was able to update a driver in the device manager and am now able to charge via my laptop and also connect so that I can sync my phone, etc.
It still won't charge with the regular wall charger! Which uses the same USB cord that I'm using in my computer.
Originially, I had 2 wall chargers that I've had forever and when neither one of them were working the other day, I thought they were faulty so I went out and bought a new charger. It worked! I thought I was home free. Wrong. It worked for 1 afternoon and then it stopped working again (but it's the same one that I'm now using in my laptop)... so it only doesn't work when plugged into the wall.
I've tried multiple power blocks, multiple USB cords, multiple wall outlets.
No idea what the issue is!
I also tried a hard reset (power/home button) on my phone, it didn't do anything.
Also, all of my software is up to date (iOS 6.1.3).
I might just suck it up and head to Apple/Verizon tomorrow and see if they can figure it out, but in the meantime, does anyone have any ideas?!
Thanks!

Check the bottom of the iPhone and make sure there is no lint or debris on the connector that the power/sync cord attaches to. Also with a very low battery, you may have to let the iPhone charge several minutes before you get any indications. If none of the above solves the problem, try another cable. You might also want to try a car charger if you've got one.

IPhone 4 will not charge via wall charger

Hello,
All of a sudden about 2 week ago my wall charger stopped charging my phone. I tried a hard reboot and it didn't work. Bought a replacement cord and wall jack and still doesn't work. Tested wall charger and cord on friends' phones and works correctly. Does anyone have a legitimate fix for this? Seems to be a provlem with the phone itself, rather than the cord or wall charger, as the cord an wall adapter work with other iPhone 4's, my phone will charge via the comp or via the car jack I have too.
Thanks in advance for any help.
John

Iphone 4 will not charge from wall or computer ?help

HI
I noticed my phone had a low battery. Once i got home the phone was dead. Tried charging as usual using the apple leads to the wall - but nothing comes up on the screen - no 'charging symbol' instead the phone remains dead. Any ideas?

IPhone will not charge from wall socket only from Laptop or Computer!

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
My IPhone will charge sometimes and sometime it wont:
I mean like sometimes it will charge from the wall socket and sometimes it wont!
It will go so far as to turn off because of no battery life! Then I plug it in to the Laptop and it starts charging!

I have had this problem for some time. It applies to both a wall charger (the one that came with iPhone and a third-party model) and a car charger (third party). Both wall and car chargers are rated at 1000 ma which should be enough power. Yet when the battery charge goes below a certain level the phone will not charge from wall or car charger, but it will charge from a computer.
I did some research on USB power. Per specification, a USB client (the iPhone) cannot draw more than 100 ma from the USB host (charger or computer or hub) unless it asks for and gets permission to draw more current. (This is so it does not interfere with other USB devices connected to the host.)
Inexpensive wall chargers do not contain any computing elements. They short the D+ and D- lines together. This makes it impossible for a client to negotiate a higher current draw, so the iPhone, working per the USB standard, limits itself to 100 ma. When connected to a computing device such as a computer or USB hub, the iPhone can negotiate a higher current, up to the 500 ma currently allowed by the USB standard.
This begs the question, why can't the iPhone charge on 100 ma when the battery is almost completely discharged? After all, when the battery has more charge, the iPhone will charge nicely from a wall charger. Perhaps someone has some insight into this aspect.
There is evidently a new USB standard for wall chargers that will fix this issue. Both the host and client must implement in order for it to work. (I haven't read the standard, but suspect it involves the client detecting that the D+ and D- lines are shorted together.) Obviously, either the charger or my iPhone 3G don't comply with this new standard. Maybe the iPhone 3GS does? Or maybe we have to wait for another iPhone model that has the hardware that complies with the new USB wall charger standard.
Meanwhile I have to be careful not to fully discharge my iPhone battery when I am away from a computer. I recently went on a 30-day trip and had no problem because I charged the phone every night. Of course, I did not use it much because it was an international trip and AT&T roaming rates are horribly expensive.

Okay, so my iphone 4s will not charge at all. I been charging it on my windows laptop, and it just stopped charging. even on the wall. What should I do? Help.

Wow long time ago to find a thread...
Hold the power and home button while connected to your computer for 10 seconds. Then release JUST the power button and continue holding the home button and iTunes should recongnise the device in recovery and then hit restore and iTunes will proceed to wipe the phone and restore to the latest iOS your device can go too.

My iPhone 4 will not charge on the wall charger

My iPhone 4 will not charge on the wall charger but does on my puter

The iphone 4 (not 4s) shows that it is charging, but the numbers are going down not up. So I replaced the cable and that fixed it. That was kind of weired that it showed as if it were charging when in fact it was not. The Brick is fine, it was the cable. I should note it was a third party cable. Did Apple do a change where as they wont work with 3rd party cables, I had a longer cable, but am back to the original 3 footer?

Have you tried charging it from another computer or another wall charger?
Have you tried another cable?
This is a good place to start for charging problems -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
