IPhone 4S not charging?

Hello!
So i'll try to make this short. I have an iPhone apple 4S, and have had it since its great debut. It all started when I upgraded to iOS 7 and it stopped somewhere during the update and froze my phone. It was stuck on the "connect to iTunes" with the USB logo for a good while. I ended up asking a tech, and realized that he was steering me in a crazy direction. I finally fixed it on my own by just using another computer with iTunes (go figure). Well it charged fine for a few days no issue, then just one night, it would not charge on my wall adapter. I figured it was my cable since its pretty used up anyway and tried other ones, but that didn't work. I even tried different wall charger blocks, which also didn't work. The last known time it was actually able to charge is from a "imitation" car port charger, which made me think, maybe it messed up my port or battery or something. So I ended up changing the dock port, no dice. Figured maybe the battery, also did not work. So to sum it up, I tried different cables, blocks, and even changed the dock port and battery. I figured it was the update, until my wife phone started to do the same thing. She is still on iOS 5 (long story and it is not JB). So It never occurred to me to try the car charger again, but my wife figured she try it. Sure enough, it charges, and I even used my messed up cable. So I tried another car port charger we had and it didn't work. The "imitation" car port charger we have is the only thing that charges our phone. Oh forgot to mention, it does not connect to iTunes. Yes, I even tried the turn off/turn on, hard reset, and system restore (could not put any old back ups because I can't connect). I'm not worried because I can upgrade to another phone in a month, but this is irritating and I saw a small glimmer of hope when it could charge. This is my last resort. Sorry that I wrote pretty wild, its late. Please help! Thanks in advance!

Would any one no what's wrong with it

  • My iPhone is not charging in my 2009 Infinity

    My iPhone is not charging when connected to my 2009 Infinity. I'm getting a " charging is not supported" message on the screen. Funny thing is that my older iPod would sync and charge when connected. Anyone know why or how I can fix this?
    Thanks

    To rule out a software problem, set it up as new device:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    But I think that this is a hardware issue. If this started after the battery has been replaced, bring it back to the Service Provider and let them check the phone, the replacement of a battery is also covered by a repair warranty.

    My iphone is not charging or showing in my computer. but its getting charged via wall apple charger.. Not able to connect with itunes.. please help....

    No it doesn't. Sometimes it make a sound that it should when connecting but that is it. Never actually charges or syncs. And it is a brand new cord.

  • Iphone 5 plugged in and charge icon appears but iphone does not charge at all.. Please help!

    Iphone 5 not charging after connected via usb and charge icon appears and charge sound occurs.. Need immediate help! Thank you!

    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

  • Why iPhone 5 not charge with its own charger but will with iPhone 4 charger

    why iPhone 5 not charge with its own charger but will with iPhone 4 charger. Thanks to the member who posted that fix.

    It sounds to me like the charger that came with the iPhone 5 is defective, or the cable is if you've been switching the cables when you switch the chargers.
    Regards.

  • Iphone 6 not charging in car

    My iPhone 6 stopped charging in the car. It used to work but with iOS 8.1 - or so - it just stopped. The cable is fine because when I plug in to any USB charger in the house it works. But Inside the car the iPhone says "Accessory not supported". So it detects it but refuse to charges.
    Anyone seen this behaviour? Any fix?
    Much appreciated

    Hello ezimme,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPhone is not charging in your vehicle any longer and you have already ruled out the cable by testing it in other areas. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the different steps outlined in the attached article such as restarting your iPhone, isolating by trying a different iPhone in the car, and possibly restoring your iPhone.

  • HT1476 my iphone will not charge the usb that comes with the iphone is being used and it recognizes it but it wont charge

    my iphone is not charging i have restored it twice now and it still wont charge on the charger that i got with the phone. it sees that the phone is there  and i can do stuff in itunes but it wont charge PLEASE HELP

    If your iPhone won't charge with the power adaptor or when connected to your computer, do you have access to another USB dock connector cable to rule out a problem with the existing cable you are using?

  • HT4060 iphone will not charge

    Iphone will not charge; claims it is not supported, though it has worked for s a few years.
    Oredered a iphone 5, which arrives Tuesday.  Did apple cancel my previous phpne chargeabiity?

    Ordering a new phone won't impact your current phone's ability to charge.  Have you turned your phone completely off and back on?  Also, you could try a Reset by holding both the Sleep Key and the Home Key down until about 15 seconds have passed.

    Try and reset your iphone from the settings preferences in the iphone software. Reset all settings. Heard this solves a lot of issues. If that don't work; restore.

  • IPhone is not charging

    My iPhone is not charging. I tried restarting it, using a wall outlet, using the computer, but it still won't charge. This is not a new accessory, I've used it to charge my phone before.

    Hello Figster512,
    If I understand correctly your USB cable doesn't seem to charge your phone whether you are connected to a computer or the wall charger. I would use these troubleshooting steps from this article here, named:
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the battery doesn’t charge
    If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
    Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
    If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
    Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
    If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
    If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • HT201401 iphone 4s     not charging when power ON

    iphone 4s     not charging when power ON

    Amish/ Selvars4, i have exactly the same issue. I'm sure its software issue as mine has done it also just last week. i had it happen previously about 3 months ago also. the phone would only charge via a USB from a pc or if the phone was turned off.The way i got it working last time i kept reloading previous version of the phone back up and finally it worked normally again. It was always visible to iTunes so not an issue. Last week though i have had exactly the same problem as Selvars and itunes cannot see it now, and not charge by any device except when turned off. I did a backup and iTunes sync about 2 days before this problem started. (now thinking back it was the same when i had the previous issues with charging) this time its invisible to iTunes, pc,won't charge anywhere except turned off. i left it plugged into pc where it wasn't visible and then about 40mins later it recognised it. so i did a factory restore and update then reloaded a back up. it now is visible to pc and charges from pc and power adaptor but won't charge from a dock. Strange and Frustrating. Suvzero

  • HT1430 my iphone does not charge except it is turn off

    My iphone does not charge except i turn it off

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    Please be more specific about "it wont connect back to the computer" so that appropriate troubleshooting steps can be provided.

    Help

    Plug it in a wait for 15 minutes.  If the charge indicator doesn't show, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    Try this First... No Data will be Lost..
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
