Cannot charge my 5s with lightening cable

Today my 5 lightening connector will not charge my 5s phone from my iMac. This is an original cable.
I suspect the connector in the handset, as it did work on and off with slight upward pressure to the
connector at this point
Today phone is - 0%, so now trying with mains power plug but no life signs yet....
Have tried a brand new 5s cable with same response.

I would suggest taking it into the Apple Store so they can take a look at the connector. You can schedule a Genius Bar Appointment here https://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

Cannot charge ipad mini with Lightning cable

I ordered the ipad mini LTE from Apple store. The lightning cable is not working with the supplied wall AC adaptor nor my Mac. What shall I do?

Bring it to the Apple Store (ifc Mall) and get cable/charger replaced.

I updated my iphone to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!1

i updated my iphone to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!

I upgraded my iPhone 4 last evening to iOS 6, the upgrade completed and the device was usable. Then in the morning I went to the device to check E-mail, Voice Messages, Test Messages, etc... and the phone was dead. I tried plugging the device into a charger (for a couple of hours) - still dead. Plugged into computer with iTunes, device not recognized or discovered, and iPhone was still dead... Took the iPhone into an Apple Store and the Technician looked it over for any visible signs of defect/malfunction, then performed various tasks to breathe life into the phone - nothing... His suggestion, at this point, was to replace the phone. He speculated that the iOS upgrade possibly corrupted the iPhone's charging firmware, and that this device was now a BRICK. Keep in mind that the phone and it's charging abilities were perfectly fine prior to the iOS Upgrade. I hate to go through the replacement hassle and the cost ($159.00) when the iOS upgrade caused the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am having difficulty charging my iphone with the cable. Its been 1 yr since I bought the phone. Does the cable becomes useleless after a year. Whats the life span for the cable?

I am having difficulty charging my iphone with the cable. Its been 1 yr since I bought the phone. Does the cable becomes useleless after a year. Whats the life span for the cable? It automatically gets disconnected and then get connected again.

That is shorter than normal. Any signs of wear? And you're sure it's the cable, not one of the pins in the iPhone's charging port?

Can charge my iphone 4 with the USB connected to a pc but cannot charge my iphone4 with wall charge

Why ca I charge my iphone 4 with the USB connected to a pc but cannot charge my iphone 4 with wall charge?

If it charges when connected to a computer USB, it can't be the phone. Try a different cable.

Charge my phone with USB cable

Hi DearsI have a Z3-compact phone. When I connect it to my copmuter with usb cable, it does not charge.Please help me, how can I solve this problem????

Hi Z3-sam,
Welcome to the community.
One thing to note, if you are using the device on say a work computer, there may be security restrictions that wont allow MTP mode to charge the handset.
You could try changing the device in to MSC mode and then seeing if the charge works.
Menu > Settings > Xperia Connectivity > USB Connectivity > USB Mode > MSC
let us know how you feel.

Problems with Lightening Cable Durability

Hi! I've had the iPhone 5 for a few months and I'm already on my 3rd Lightening cable in my car. The first one got stepped on and the second fell on the car floor by my wet feet. Both cords stopped working immediately. I had the old cord in my car for years and it was way more durable and protected from damage. Has anyone else noticed durability issues?

I've had a new iPad since November '12 and I'm on my 4th cable. They keep shorting out around the tip of the connector. I agree that they are not durable enough. Personally, I preferred the 30 pin connector cords. They lasted much longer. I hope Apple does something soon about this problem. I'm tired of exchanging cords every 1.5 months.

How Can i Charge 5130 XM with USB cable

Knowledge sharing is better to earn
IF YOU FIND POSTS HELPFUL CLICK THE BIG ORANGE KUDOS BUTTON

You could use a CA-100 adapter. It has a USB type-A plug on one end and a 2mm charger port plug on the other. The downside is that you need 2 USB ports available if you want to transfer data and charge the phone at the same time: one for the CA-100 and one for the provided CA-101 data cable.
Alterntatively you could use a CA-126 charging/data cable, which is like a CA-100 and CA-101 in one cable. Type-A USB plug on one end and both a 2mm charging port connector and a microUSB plug on the other.

IPad's charging/syncing ICON with new cable.

I just bought a replacement charging/sync cable for my iPad. Now the symbol quickly goes from the lightning ICON to the plug ICON. When I plug it into my iMac, the iPad doesn't read "Not Charging" anymore but again goes from the lightning ICON to the plug ICON. What is the difference between the (previously steady) lightning ICON and the plug ICON? Is my iMac now charging the iPad due to a higher quality cable? Did Apple change the ICONs? I don't remember what the ICON was when it was syncing.

Michael-
Your new cable works like mine now. I think the lightning symbol only appears when it is charging.
The USB port on your Mac can charge the iPad, but very slowly, and then mainly when the iPad is asleep. When awake, the iPad consumes about as much current as the Mac can supply.

Nokia 130: Cannot connect to PC with USB cable

I recently bought a Nokia 130 and tried to connect it to my PC via USB cable, but the phone only displayed "Charging" instead of a menu to choose "Data Storage". Why was that? I felt like I was cheated.

Good day, Rino130. Are you still having the same issue? If so, let us isolate your concern by using another USB cable. You can also try connecting your phone to another computer to check if there's any difference and then let us know the outcome. BTW, welcome to our community.

I put accidently my iphone cable in water, should i continue to charge my iphone with that cable or not?

help

You ask for advise. When the advise is given, you totally ignore the advise and do as you please. You were told you need to buy a new cable so you don't damage your device. Now you complain that you need to buy a new cable...however you now state that the cable you dropped in water is just fine.
What was the point in asking for the advise in the first place?

My phone will not charge (4S). It is now dead and I cannot charge it or turn it on. Any ideas?

Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, try cleaning again with small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. If all it needs is battery, battery replacement program with Apple is $80. Replacement iPhone with Apple is $199 for perfect iPhone 4S exactly like yours. Otherwise replacement parts to consider are battery and charging port assembly with flex cable.
