My iPhone 4s will not charge in car or truck. It would appear after research that this is a software issue with ios5. Will there ever be a patch to correct this infuriating problem?!!!

Mine charges just fine, as does everyone's iPhone 4S that I know. Apple even sells a number of car chargers that are certified to work:

Perhaps there is a problem with your charger or the outlet you're using in your car/truck.

Gnex will not charge in car power source anymore.

Does anyone know why Gnex will not charge in the car while it's on?. I changed the wire and the adapter for the power source. It worked at one time but now it does not. I even tried using the wire that came with my Gnex and still not charging while on. If I shut it down it will charge but not while it is on. HELP...

My Gnew does the same thing also. No rhyme or reason to it. I have done everything under the moon to fix it. Turn it off, take battery out, even bought a new charger, still hates me I brought my issue to my local Verizon store and got no results. Makes me upset that I pay over $100 a month for a smart phone that isn't very smart. I have been with Verzon since they took over Bell Atlantic and feel that loyalty means nothing. I would love to get a new phone but no upgrade for me till Jan 2014 I was told. So, I am stuck with a phone that decides when it will charge and barely holds that charge when it does. For the first time I am actually considering bailing ship and going to AT&T. Don't think my patience will last till Jan 2014.

HT4972 I just purchased a iphone3 and it will not recognise my sim card?   It also appears to have no option to update software?

I just purchaed this phone and cannot get it to recognise the sim card and appears to have no option toupdate the software.    Please help

When I purchased the phone it was supposed to be for AT&T and that is my carrier and the carrier the sim card worked on.    If the phone is not for AT&T how do I figure that out and if it needs to be unlocked - how do I do that?
Thanks for your help

My iPhone 4s is frozen up and will not charge...screen is dark! The only thing that's partially lit is the little circle of slashes in the middle and it isn't moving!

My iPhone 4s is only about a month old and is not responding when I plugged it in to charge....screen went dark and a delayed screech and it still is not responding! I unplugged the charger and the screen in still dark, but has a little circle of slash marks in the center is not moving...only a few slash marks
are lighted up(not progressing as usual)! Has anyone had this kind of problem? I don't know what to do...it's like frozen up!!
Thanks Ruth P.

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

HT3209 I purchased a movie from Itunes on my IMac, then transferred it to my IPad. I have to adapter to hook my Ipad up to my home TV through HDMI but it will not let me. It stops the video immediately. Say that is is protected software. Seems ridicul

I paid for this movie and want to watch it on my large flat panel. Not on a 6 inch or whatever IPad screen. What can I do??

is it the apple digital av adapter or a third party one?
does it play without the hdmi connected?
also an apple tv would let you stream it wirelessly to the tv

I've had my iPhone 4 for about 2 years and just yesterday it stopped sending me notifications that I had received a text message. Is there anything I can do to fix this on my own or do I need to go to a store to get it fixed?

If anyone has any tips on how I can solve this problem please let me know! My contract isn't up until February!

Getting your notifications is definitely important and we understand not wanting to miss anything katieb373. You have reached the right place for assistance in getting this working for you again. Has your phone completed any recent software updates right before this happened? You can reset the network settings to see if that will resolve the issue by following the steps http://vz.to/1uO6qTU in the link. Please try this and let us know the results.

Will not charge or turn on. in itues says its blocked or private

IPod touch can't turn on and will not charge.... when you connect to iTunes, says that its blocked mor private., etc. Please help

Just what is the exact wording of the message are you receiving?
Maybe this:
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

CQ61 will not charge,

battery just died

Iphone 4 will not charge anymore from the car stereo

Ever since I have updated to iOS5 my IPhone 4 will not charge via the car stereo connection. It worked fine before this but now no charge. I am using a scosche adaptor that was recommended by the nice people in my local Apple store but the IPhone has stopped charging.
I use my IPhone a lot as a sat-nav and find that when I get to my destination there is little or no power left in the battery.
Any ideas?

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 and itunes does not recogise it at all. When I plug it in to charge it says that it needs to be restored.

My iphone 4 will not charge when I plug it in, it will turn on but it says that it needs to be restored and will not do anything else. When I plug it into itunes it isn't recognized at all. I took it into the verizon store and they were not any help at all. My phone isn't under warranty anymore so they don't care. Please help, I had to go back to my old phone, a droid and I hate it so much.

its fixed!! After posting my problem with the FROZEN ipod classic (2007) 80 gb a screen popped up with similar subjects that I did not find in my original search. 'Rich Fleming' in the community posted a suggestion to someone with a similar frozen issue and it WORKED when I tried it.
hold the 'menu' and the 'circle' buttons down at the same time, KEEP the pressed until the apple appears. and now it is working. Hope this helps others.

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.

IPhone's 4S & 5 will not charge from wall charger

Similarly to everyone else, I have updated my iPhone 5 & also 4S to IOS 6.1.3.
The batteries in both phones are draining very fast just as a lot of other people are commenting on, but also both phones will not charge from various devices that do work.
I have 2 cables that both work in the car an on my PC, neither now work when connected to a GPO.
This started straight after the phones were updated.
Thoughts; advice please.

i did the basic stuff OF COURSE .... but i am NOT willing to go through the pain of restoring my phone just because Apple screwed up another IOS update ..... i am really getting sick of thiose half-baked updates that break more things than fix ....

My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead.

My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead. I updated the software about 2 weeks ago but since the phone is dead I can find out which version I have. It started giving me the prompt "this accessory does not support charging this device". I tried charging in my car, two separate wall chargers and on my MacBook Pro. Have never had a problem charging it before. When I would try to charge it, I would get a green battery icon with a plug in it, indicating the battery was fully charged. I now have it plugged into a wall charger, it shows the lighting bolt and nearly drained battery but the phone will not turn on. Any ideas?

Hi,
You probably need to do this...
