IPhone5 and Lightening Cable Won't Charge

Not sure what is going on with Apple these days, but having tons of problem.  My iMac randomly starts rebooting all the time, my 13" macbook retina cant update to 10.8.2, my 15" macbook retina keeps searching for airplay everytime i start a video, on all my macs, the rainbow circle is appearing more than ever. NOW, the the lighting cable or iPhone5 wont recharge.  Everytime I plug it it, it says charging, then minutes later the charge stops.  I keep pluging and unplugging and getting the same result.  This is a new problem as of today.  Any thoughts or suggestions.

I have tried the following on the good cable and it charges my ipad without any problems.
1. macbook pro
2. 5w charger
3. 10w car charger
the "bad" cable wont charge at all.

  • HT201365 I updated my phone yesterday and now it won't charge.  Is this normal?

    I updated my phone yesterday and now it won't charge.  Is this normal?

    Obviously not charging in not normal.
    But iOS 7 checks to make sure that the lighting connector is certified by Apple. All Apple Lightning connectors and most Lightning connectors from recognized third parties are certified. But some third parties shortcut the certification process and these cables may not work with your phone.
    If you are not using the original Lightning connector or a connector from Apple try that first.

  • Firewire cable won't charge iPhone 3GS.......Why

    Can someone explain to me why my firewire cable won't charge my iPhone yet it will charge my ipod 3rd gen, 5th gen and touch 1st gen without any problem!
    I have the firewire/usb double connector cable which goes into a dock station. The firewire goes to the mains plug and the usb lead is free to connect to my laptop for syncing etc. When I connect the iPhone i get the message about not compatible etc etc. Is this just a money making scam to make you buy a new usb lead?
    The beauty of this lead was to allow me to dock the ipod/iphone to charge and sync separately if needed.
    Anyone......

    "On to the power adapters. Here’s the story: We learned a while back that iPhone 3G doesn’t support charging “via FireWire.” The thing is, there are lots of devices out there that don’t actually have a FireWire port, but are technically FireWire chargers because they’re sending power on the dock-connector pins that were used for power by the FireWire interface. There are a lot of reasons for this, chief among them the fact that the FireWire spec allows as much a 18 volts, while USB is a 5-volt connection. Since cars provide 12 volts of power, many if not most car-chargers used the FireWire method to send power.
    However, in the interests of space and simplicity (i.e., not having to engineer for two separate power paths), Apple has dropped support for FireWire charging with the iPhone 3G. This means that many accessories won’t charge an iPhone 3G. Borchers said that Apple gave accessory developers a strong hint that this was going to happen a while ago, but he said that some companies have continued to implement FireWire-based chargers despite the warning.
    But there’s some hope in sight: Borchers told me that at least a couple of third parties will be releasing converters that will pass through the dock connection, but convert the power to a USB standard. That adapter may make many of those charging devices come back to life."
    That is from the link he provided.

  • I dropped my phone into the bath last night and it was working perfectly fine the hole day, I went to put it on charge and now it won't charge or even turn on what do I do

    You can try drying it out internally by wrapping the unit in a paper towel and putting it in a bag with a dessicant safe for electronics such as silica gel pellets, or failing that in a bag of dry, uncooked rice, for a few days. It's very probable that it's been permanently damaged, but it's possible that if you dry it out, it may then work. If after a few days in the bag it still has problems, then you'll need to pay to get it exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third-party repair service) or buy a new iPhone.
    Good luck.

  • Hey i bought a brand new MBP like 6 months ago and now it won't charge

    i bought a brand new MBP like 6 months ago and now it won't charge. I tried using a friends MBP charger of the same year as my computer but it still says not charging at the top right corner of the computer screen where the charging symbol is. This problem just happened out of nowhere because it was working the day before then the next day it just stopped working saying it is not charging. I tired doing all of the suggested techniques to fix it but not luck.
    This is the battery report is when my MBP is either connected to my charger or my friends charger which works perfectly on her computer.

    I've just updated to iOS 7.1.1 on my iPhone5, and now it won't sync (I get error -50) - any ideas?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

    Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
    I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

  • My iPhone 5 and iPad mini won't charge with the lightning cable. Worked fine for months until today.

    My iPhone 5 will not charge using the lightning cable. It has worked fine for months then started beeping and now won't take a charge. Neither will my iPad Mini. Does anyone know know what the problem could be?

  • I have a 4th gen Shuffle and when I try to charge it, a red light turns on and the Shuffle won't charge. How do I fix this?

    So I haven't used my Shuffle in months and I don't remember how much battery was left when I stopped using it. When I connect my ipod to my laptop, a red light glows and my computer, nor my laptop will recogonize the ipod. It won't charge either. I've left it connected to an outlet and my laptop for hours but the red light won't go away. Help, please!

    If you connected it to both your computer's USB port and a USB power adapter on a wall outlet, I think you've ruled out a problem with the power source.  Since you at least get the red light, the USB docking cable is probably OK. 
    So, if it's not the USB port or the docking cable, the cause is likely to be on the shuffle.  It may be the battery or a problem on the logic board.  If it was just the battery, I think it would still appear in iTunes on the computer (or at least be recognized by the system).
    (If this shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.)

  • My iPhone 5c and iPad mini won't charge. Can both charger ports be broken at the same time?

    MMy iPhone 5c is dead and wont charge. My iPad mini also won't charge. So I thought it was my charge wire or charging block might be the proble. I've used other wores and other blocks and also plugged it into by laptop and neither are charging. So it would see that the charging port is broken on both. But it seems odd that both would break on the same day. Both are under a year old and I only ever use official Apple charging devises. Help!

    Good day Hollixd,
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone 5c and iPad mini are not charging. It does seem odd that both devices are not charging from multiple chargers.
    There are a few more steps that may help you charge your devices. Next, I'd try steps 1, 2, 4 and 5 from the article If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    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.
    If your devices still don't charge after trying all of these steps, the article suggests contacting Apple Support:
    If your device still doesn't charge or you still see an alert after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy

  • Lightening cables are not charging brand new iphone

    Apple store replaced the phone I got on June 26 yesterday because the phone would randomly reset and then would not come back on.
    Today neither one of the lightening cables I used with the previous phone (one came with the phone, one purchased the same day at Best Buy) will charge the phone.  Any fixes for this?

    I should add, I get a message that says the cable "is drawing too much power" when I use my mac at home to sync/charge, and a "USB over notice" on my work PC.  If I plug into an adapter absolutely nothing happens.

    What can you do? Go shopping for a new iPad. Liquids and electronics do not mix. And, you already have a damaged screen. Replacement is your only option. You could take it to an authorized service center but I'm I think their evaluation, given what you told us, would be to replace the iPad.
