My iphone 5 is not charging properly. Recently the USB cable was emitting sparks on connecting it to my laptop.This has resulted in physical damage of the wire. Is it still eligible for replacement since it is under 1 year warranty?

Why not. The iPhone was also delivered with a charger to connect to the wall outlet, use it

Try disabling a/v software and turn off the Firewall on your PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then connect the iPod to your computer. Launch iTunes. If your computer still won't recognize the iPod check out this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Once your iPod is functioning again, with it connected to your computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left.
Select the box next to: Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
That way iTunes should open automatically when you connect your iPod to your computer.
And iTunes / Preferences - Devices. You can have your iPod sync automatically whenever it's connected from the Devices pane.

My Iphone will not charge properly!!!

I have had my iphone since last november 2012 and it has worked perfectly. However about a month ago when i plugged the lightning cable from the wall into my iphone to charge, i had to bend it into a certain position to get the phone to charge. I figured it was the charger that was busted as at the top of the cable some of the plastic had come away and there was exposed wires, so i purchased another lightning cable from apple, which arrived today. After plugging the new charger into the USB and the wall, the phone will not charge properly again unless the cable is bent into a position where it suddenly starts charging and then unless its kept in that position it will cease to charge. Is this my phone or have i just got unlucky and been sent a faulty charger?? please help.

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.

Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. when l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Pls help

Tried to upgrading ipad 1 from itunes and l guess it did not complete the process because all I have showing on the ipad is the itunes logo with the usb cable. When l try to connect it to my system, it resquest that a driver be used to install the device. Please help! How do I restore?

Restoration is relatively simplistic. Here's whatcha do. Plug your ipad in, open itunes, now if itunes doesn't recognize it then you may have a problem, anywho, click on the ipad in the devices interface and go to the info tab, click restore, and it'll be just like it was when it left the factory. To get you data back, it should ask if you would like to use a backup, just select the backup you want and you'll be good to go. That is if you regularly backed up your iPad.

Please Help my iPhone is not charging properly

lastnight i put my iphone4 on charge at 11% when i plugged it into the wall and swithed on the power it had no reaction at all it didnt light up make a noise at all so i plugged it into a different outlet it still done the same thing so i left it over night and woke up this morning only to find it had charged but very slowly it took all night to get from 11% to 44%???? is it the phone or the charger??? normally my phone will charge to 100% in 2-3hrs?? any advice would be much appreciated.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let it restart itself. If still problem, the plug symbol usually means battery issue. Make Genius appointment, Apple Store can perform quick battery diagnostic testing.

That's me unplugging and replugging a device in different places. Note that the message appears multiple times each time I plug it in.
But this isn't just that one device (a galaxy tab if you're wondering). This happens with so many devices I'm going up the wall. It even happens with USB Flash drives! "I'LL JUST USE A DIFFERENT CABLE OH WAIT COMPUTER YOU'RE AN IDIOT."
Sorry, just so frustrated. I've tried the classic capacitor flush (turn off, hold power button in with power calbe unplugged) and it's been doing this for a while, so updates haven't solved it. Different types of devices too, not just storage. Even a keyboard did it one time. You guys got any ideas at all?
EDIT: Before that inevitable post comes, yes, I've plugged it directly into the ports that are attached to the back of the motherboard, please don't ask, please, please, please. I know someone won't read this whole post and will ask anyway but a guy can try.
EDIT EDIT: I forgot to actually say that usb devices do not work when this message appears.

If the errors are consistent across OS (ie LiveCD, Windows?) then your motherboard is most likely on it's way out and needs replacing
You could try removing the motherboard cell battery and doing the "classic capacitor flush" again. Leaving the battery out for a period of time generally has the same effect and in "classic" IT style fixes numerous woes... have you tried a different cable?
If, after replacing the battery, the problem has disappeared I would still treat the hardware as suspect and have it replaced as soon as possible. These sorts of brain farts typically reappear sooner rather than later

My external drive only shows up if I unplug and re-plug the USB cable. Why?

I'm using a Thermaltake BlacX USB 3.0 doc. My iMac isn't 3.0 compatible so it's defaulting to 2.0. When I drop a drive in the powered-up BlacX, it does not appear on my desktop or the finder. However, if I detach the USB cable and plug it right back in, I get a popup asking if I want to use the drive for Time Machine. After dismissing this popup, the drive appears on both desktop and finder and can be accessed as expected.
Of course, this dock is designed to continually and easily swap drives. As soon as I eject and drop in another - same thing. I hear the drive spool up but there's no sign of it. Unplug and replug the cable, and it pops up.
Any ideas why?

The interesting thing is I'm not using Time Machine presently. If I go to System Prefs and click on Time Machine, the slider is in the Off position. If I type "Time Machine" into the Spotlight and click the icon, I get a popup telling me "You haven't selected a location for Time Machine backups." There is a button to labelled "Set Up."

How to remove the usb cable

I just bought an ipad but I have to use real force to remove the usb cable.
I find nothing in de user guide about this.
Is this normal?

Yes. It will loosen with time.
A very slight left/right wiggle (not up/down) whilst pulling may help.

My phone will not charge properly when i put it on charge it comes up with charging is not suppoted with this accessory i've only got it plugged into the plug for charging // Help

My phone will not charge properly when I put it on charge it comes up with yellow exclamation symbil and infoms me that charging is not supported with this accessory I've only got the charger plugged into it well the plug and conecting cable any help

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.

Connecting my iphone to wall charger makes my iphone touch not work properly

I have a iphone 3g and a orignal apple wall charger when i connect my iphone to charger it makes my iphone touch not work properly, but it charges the phone properly.the data cable is also working properly. So can any one help me out here.thanks

Holy smokes, I thought I was losing my mind, but that's the exact same thing that's started happening to me since this whole 4.3.1 "upgrade" disaster started - hooking it up to the wall charger overnight, wake up in the morning and it's a brick requiring multiple attempts to restart.
It's also randomly and spontaneously crashing - it'll be on the table or couch beside me, I'll catch movement out of the corner of my eye and look over and see a silver apple.

My iphone 4 switches off unexpectedly and does not charge properly every time

My iphone 4 turns off unexpectedly and does not charge properly every time. Can anyone help

Hey bigstu29,
Thanks for the question. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
- Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
- Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
- If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
- If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
