Bad iPhone lightning connection

I have an iPhone 5 that is almost two years old. I have recently found that when I plug in my lightning cables to connect to Mac Air, docks, charger, etc., the phone will not maintain the lightning connection. I am now having to prop it up a certain way to create a tighter fit. Is anyone having sinilar trouble? Is there a fix for this? Thanks

When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone. This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working, help!

I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider? How is is at all relevant to Apple?? In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

Is it possible to get iPhone audio (telephone calls) from Lightning connection? Music works, but calls switch to internal or extenral speakers, not lightning (for e.g. docking station, car...)!

I want to get the audio out of the lightning connection (the way you get audio when you connect it to a dock). It works properly with music, but when making a telephone call, it switches to the internal speraker. You can change to the external spekers, but you cannot select another audio out. It's also possible to get the telephone audio from the analogue connection, but that's not what I want. I want telephone audio from lightning...
Would be so great if anybody has an idea

I must also say that the second update ruined my Lumia's battery life.
With the first (out-of-the-box) update the phone usually had 30 percent of battery after a quite hard day (e.g. more than an hour of talking via bluetooth handsfree, more than two hours of listening to the music via bluetooth, more than an hour of browsing via wifi, and reading hundreds of e-mails via two mail accounts). I never managed to discharge it after one day (e.g. 14-16 hours) of continous use, no matter how much I talked, listened and browsed.
Now, with the secod update, it discharges to 20% after 12 hours of laying still almost without use (30 mins of music, less than 15 mins of talking and nothing more), and discharges completely with the usage pattern described above.
Did the second update contain some Android code?

When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

HT4557 Computer and iPhone not connecting?!

I've done everything upto the part when my iPhone should connect to my computer, but nothing is happening after I added the Id and password. Nothing shows up not even the unable turn on home sharing message appears

If you have three different computers and it isn't working on all three... my guess would be that the Firewire port is blown on the camcorder itself- especially if you have tried a new cable. One other thing, make sure that the camera is the ONLY Firewire device on the system and see what happens. If it still doesn't show up I am still thinking that the port on the camera is bad.
And you do have the camera in VTR mode? And I can't remember if the GL has a setting in the menu specifying DV out? You might want to check that.

Hi hamed99,
If you are getting this alert when using an Apple Lightning cable, you should follow the steps in this article to resolve the issue -
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Specifically -
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

When is the new docking station going to come out for the new iPod touch with the lightning connection?

I have just got the new iPod Touch for christmas. I am now wondering when a docking station will come out for the new iPod Touch with the new lightning connection. I have not been able to find a docking station that fits the iPod Touch without having to buy the adapter(the adapter does not allow the iPod to be charged)
When will a docking station come out for the new iPod Touch?
Olivia Davey

You would have to ask the makers of the docking stations that question. Belkin has a dock now that uses Apple's Lightning cable:
http://www.belkin.com/us/F8J057-Belkin/p/P-F8J057
so all it basically does is provide a stand and pass through the headphone jack. There's at least one other dock here:

If you're referring to Apple's Universal Dock, there have been no indications that they will make any new dock, though of course none of us here know their plans for future products.

After 2.0 "Iphone cannot connect due to software not installed" error

Hey everyone, I have an original iphone 8G running it on XP (which is the first problem im sure) I have never had a problem updating untill now. I just updated to 2.0 It took about 20 min to do the whole update process. When it finished, i got an error message saying the iphone cant connect due to an unknown error with an error code "0E0000015" I tried re installing itunes, tried deleting itunes, and downloading the newest version, But nothing is working. I plugged it into my macbook, and it works perfect, it finds the phone and shows the new 2.0 software. But nothing on my XP, it wont connect. Any help would be awesome! -Jason

I am having same problem after downloading and beginning to install iphone 2.0. It says i need the apple usb backup (iboot) driver. any ideas?

My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

IPhone is connected to Macbook Hotspot but unable to actually surf

Although my iPhone is connected to the Wifi (Hotspot by Macbook) neither Safari nor Whatsapp work nor anything else. It only works if I delete the password of the Wifi, but than it is open for everyone. It used to work with a WPA2 password as well, but all of a sudden no matter how often I change the password or the channel, the iPhone won't be able to get a 'real' connection. Only if I take out the password completely. I've no idea why that is, because the iPhone works with any other Wifi and the Macbook created the Hotspot and it works if there's no password and it used to work with a password too... So I'm really confused what the reason could be.
Suggestions how to solve this problem are highly apreciated!
Thanks!

Yes, I tried that too and I also resetted my iPhone Network Settings and I tried about any combination of channel and password. It seems like I messed it up, because now it does not even work if I create an open hotspot. The iPhone has full conectivity (the sign in the top has 3 bars) but I cannot load any webpage or connect to Whatsapp. Any other Wifi still works though.
Thanks for the help

HT3819 I can use remote on my iPhone to connect with my iTunes library, but i can't connect to another computer using home sharing to access apple tv. I have used the same access ID and password that is used for the apple tv.

I can use the Remote app on my iphone to connect with my itunes library on my computer, but I can't connect to the Apple TV using home sharing with another computer in the house. I am using the same ID and password that the apple tv uses to connect with the other computer. Also how do I check what version of IOS that my iphone is using?

Version:
iOS Settings>General About (or it'll say when you hook it up to iTunes)
Are all the devices on the same physical network? I think you're saying all are set up using the same home sharing credentials.
If you've not done so restart all devices and your router.
If you can get any of the devices connected by ethernet to reduce the wifi burden that may help but to be honest I would not expect simply beoing on wifi to prevent devices/computers appearing in the list.
Does the other computer have any firewall or port blocking software running?

I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer. This is the design of the iphone.
It will erase the content when you sync.
Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes using a designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email account. How can I transfer my ipod to the same account as the iphone

I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes account using its own designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email address. How can I delete this and transfer the ipod to the same account as the iphone 4. Thankyou

iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.
