Third party lightning cable sold on apple online store not supported

Since I upgraded my iphone 5s to ios 8.1.1, my belkin lighning cable became an unsupported accessory
however with my ipad air still sticking with ios 8.0.2, the cable seems fine
been trying to contact with apple online service but they just won't stop telling me to restore my iphone.
did anyone come across this problem with any third party "MADE FOR IPHONE" certified lightning cables?

If Apple Support tell you to restore ,why do you think you know better ???
Restoring will likely resolve a corruption of the iOS as I expect you have used over the air to update previously
However if you know better ....................go forth

  • Are Any Third Party Lightning Cables Approved by Apple So They Work?

    Over the past year Apple made some iOS change that causes most third party Lightning cables to generate the error message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably".  However, Apple has never clarified whether ANY third-party cables are approved and will work.
    Even most third party cables sold by the US primary cellphone carrier stores no longer work.
    Some third-party cables work for a partial recharge, however, won't charge the iPhone if it automatically shuts down due to low battery power.
    QUESTION
    Does anyone know if any third-party Lightning cables are approved by Apple and will charger phones after an automatic low battery shutdown?

    Plus Apple's own of course, and they tend to carry many more in the brick and morter stores.

  • Does the iphone selling in apple online store malaysia support tethering?

    I heard from my friend which iphone 4s my friend bought from maxis support internet Tethering.Does apple online store malaysia support it too ?

    Whether or not you can use the Personal Hotspot feature is not dependent on the phone or where it's sold, it's dependent on whether your carrier supports it and whether you subscribe to a data plan that allows tethering.
    Celcom, Digi and Maxis are the 3 supported carriers in Malaysia. According to this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937 they all support the personal hotspot feature. It will not appear until you contact your carrier and have them enable that feature on your account.

  • IPhone Developer Program (Apple Online Store not available in my country)

    I registered to the iPhone Developer Program (at the beginning of the beta) and a few weeks back i received an e-mail from Apple, that i can enroll to the Developer Program. I clicked on the link in the e-mail, and it brought me to a country selection page, where i had to select which country's Apple Online Store i want to use to purchase the product (the Apple Developer Program). The problem is my country (Hungary) don't have an Online Store, so i couldn't finish the enrollment process.
    Can anyone help me about this issue? Is there any other way to purchase it?

    Any news about it?
    I got the same problem...

  • Why don't third party lightning cables work? Apples are too short

    Why since updating my iPhone 5 to IOS7 do none of my lightning cables work. I dismissed the message that came up and had it on charge over night but nothing. This is ridiculous, how can Apple do this to their customers, if they actually made longer charging cables and at a reasonable price people wouldn't have to buy thrid party party. I don't think my Apple cable is even working either.

    If the third-party cable is MFi (Made for iPhone) approved, it should work.
    Apple now sells longer cables.
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD819ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-cable-2-m>
    Belkin has an even longer one.
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/HB560ZM/A/belkin-21-amp-lightning-to-usb-charg esync-cable>
    It's being sold by Apple, so is probably MFI approved.  Its Lightning connector may not fit some caews, though.

  • Why is the price of my Iphone 5s higher than the official price? I bought a 16G balck Iphone 5s in America Airport recently, and it costed me $850. I wondered are there any differences between mine and the ones sold on the apple online store?

    Recently, my friend bought me a 16G black Iphone 5s at America airport and it costed $850.
    But I really hope to know why it cost $201 more than the ones that sold on apple online store, since the consumption tax can't be that much.
    Really hope to get some help.

    Hi, beth.lau.gr.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand you have been experiencing issues with your iPhone restarting and showing you a blue screen.  I wont be able to give you an exact answer as to why this is happening.  However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue.  This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.  
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it

  • My third party lightning sd card reader sold to me in the Singapore Apple shop no longer works w

    My third party lightning sd card reader sold to me in the Singapore Apple shop no longer works  under iOS 7

    Having the same problem with one I bought with my iPad in the Regent Street Apple Store. Not sure why it wouldn't work unless the OS now needs the lightening Connector certificate to use a card now.
    I am hoping there will be a fix real soon or maybe someone knows a work around?

  • Third party USB cable detected by IOS 7 update

    Yesterday I had a working Ipad2 and foolishly I allowed it to update itself. Big mistake!
    After all sorts of hangs, reboots etc I got it working again and then watched the battery drain before my eyes. Charged it overnight and after 12 hours it was at 75% and just about holding at that level. I have a third party USB cable and I borrowed my daughters OEM cable. When I plugged that in I could immediately see that it was charging normally BUT it also immediately disabled rotation and it is now stuck in landscape mode. I've tried switching the lock button to "Lock Rotation" and I see the icon on screen changing from locked to unlocked but it will not rotate. WHAT THE..............
    Detecting that I am using a cable purchased from another source and deliberately disabling my property without my authority borders on the criminal.
    Apple need to get it sorted.

    I'm sure Apple would love for you (and everyone else) to use their cables...that's a given. But I seriously doubt that any kind of intentional "crippling" would be done to anyone's unit in some way because they used a third-party cable. Seems like the way it's setup now, if a third-party cable is detected, you'll get an on-screen message that the cable is detected as such and you may have issues when using it.
    Try the cable again and if it faults the rotation function in the same way, then you can decide if you want to continue using the cable if it is indeed causing this same fault consistently. Otherwise, it could have just been a coincidence.

  • Buying the nano from a non Apple Online store

    If i buy the 2g nano via a non Apple (online) store will i be able to use Apple's helpdesk and garanty which you do get if you would buy the nano via the online store.
    Because i dont want to be waiting longer on possible replacements for the high pitched tone via third party shops.

    You get the same warranty whether you buy from Apple or another vendor. However other vendors may try to sell you their own insurance or extended warranty but that's nothing to do with the standard warranty and it'll be your choice to buy or not

  • How can I get a document from apple online store with IMEI number on it?

    Hi
    I got my iPhone stolen, and currently have insurance requesting a document with IMEI number on it, I called apple and they say this doesn't exist?
    I tried to explain to insurance, but they won't listen. I have sent in packing list, shipping notification, and scan of sticker on box with IMEI and serial number.
    2nd email
    Thank you for your email. We require a document with the full IMEI number on it. Once this is received we will be able to continue processing the claim.
    Kind regards
    1st email
    thank you for sending us your documents, unfortunately the proof of purchase you have sent in does not show the serial number or the imei number, so i cannot match it to the side of the box label to use the two together for a proof of ownership .To enable us to continue with the processing of your claim, we require a valid proof of purchase for the mobile phone you are claiming for.
    This must confirm the make, model and IMEI (International Manufacturers Electronic Identity) number of your phone and can be either a letter from your airtime provider on their letter-headed paper, a copy of the original receipt or despatch note that was provided to you when your phone was purchased. (this is not a air time bill)
    Thanks a lot,

    I bought from Apple online store, and IMEI only appears on sticker on the box which I've peeled off , scanned and emailed. Called apple and they said document doesn't exist with IMEI number on it. I've saw on another post someone managed to get apple to send them receipt with all the info within 3 days so I'll call back tomorrow, just the guy I spoke today didn't think it was possible.
    Thanks

  • How can I file a formal complaint with the Apple Online Store Canada?

    I've spoken to two customer service representatives at this point about an order that I cancelled within a half an hour of placing it, as I was initially unaware that the product I purchased would not fit my sister's iPhone. As stated in the Cancelled Order portion of the following page: http://store.apple.com/ca/help/viewing_changing_orders#cancel, I should NOT have been billed for the order. I was billed last Friday and am still yet to receive the refund, despite the fact that the first rep I spoke to advised that my money would be refunded in one day. The statement on the link I provided is completely misleading, as well as the email I received stating that I would not be charged at all. Someone with Apple must amend this statement on the website and the automated emails, as it could be considered legally misleading. I will in no way be pursuing any legal action, as I don't have the time and I'm only out $90.00, but I can't imagine having purchased the MacBook that I wanted to purchase prior to this incident and going through an ordeal like this again. Can someone please advise who I should contact and where I can find their contact information please? I love the apple products that I own and would hate to discontinue my customer relationship with the company.

    Also, please remember that no refund from any store is instantaneous. They will process the refund, probably within 24 - 48 hours. After that, your bank/credit card company has to credit your account....... mine takes at least 3 business days to do so (the banks are very efficient in posting charges, but like to keep the money for a couple of days before giving it back to you - they've been doing that for years).
    Edit: I just checked their return/refunds policy and it includes this:
    Once we receive your item, a refund is initiated immediately. If you canceled a pickup item, and you were billed for it, we initiate your refund immediately after you submit your cancel request. The way your refund is processed depends on your original payment method:
    If you paid by credit or debit card, refunds will be sent to the card-issuing bank within five business days of receipt of the returned item. Please contact the card-issuing bank with questions about when the credit will be posted to your account.
    Products purchased from the Apple Online Store using an Apple Store Gift Card will be refunded to you as an Apple Store Gift Card by email within 3 business days. If you’d like us to mail you an Apple Store Gift Card, ask the representative helping you. You will receive it within 8 business days via United States Postal Service (USPS). If you purchased an item from the Apple Online Store and are returning it to an Apple Retail Store, you'll receive an Apple Store Gift Card by email within 3 business days.
    Note that it states it will be initiated immediately, but  will be sent within 5 business days.
    Read the entire policy here:

  • How do I remove my credit card information from the Apple Online Store? Not iTunes store, the online site.

    I'm trying to remove my CC information from the Apple Online Store, but it won't let me erase it. When I look for a way online, I only find information on how to erase it from the iTunes Store. Maybe the answer is right in front of me but I'm not seeing it, but some help would be much appreciated.

    Hello Spennetrator94,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning payment information. Removing the payment information from your Apple ID will remove the data from the various stores.
    Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)

  • Can you pay for a Mac on the US Apple Online Store with a credit card that has an account in another country.

    Can you buy a Mac on the US Apple Online store with a credit card that has an account in another country.

    probably not as it will know the card isnot registered in the US and may even charge you for postage.  could you not get it from your country? I maybe cheaper (with the exchange rate) and quicker for delivery

    The No Service means there is a problem with cellular service. You mention wifi in your title. Which is it you are having trouble with? What happens when you switch on and off as you state in your post? Are you saying that wifi does not connect while at home either?
