Charge cable won't work

We have a new MacBook Pro and the charge cable just won't light up and charge the battery. At first, it would work if we jiggled it around, but now we can't get it to work at all.  Do these cables often go bad?

Why did you start another discussion? All it does is cause confusion.

  • Ios7 download now my charger cables won't work

    Does anyone else have this issue - 4 cables  none work.
    Apple really are a shower.
    I am turning my iPhone in and getting a Samsung. I've had enough of shysters. If I ran my business this way trading standards would be breaking the door down.

  • Charger cable no longer works with iPhone 5s

    Hello:
       My white lightning iPhone charger cable used to work to charge my iPhone when I plugged one end into a powered USB and the other end into the iPhone.
    Now, if I am lucky, I will get a message stating that this device is not supported by Apple and may not charge this iPhone.
    Is there any setting, to turn off this bypass, so that my charger cable  can be used to charge my phone?
    Or what is missing from my charger cable which allowed it to charge fine in an earlier version of IOS that no longer work in 8.1.3?
    Thanks in advance

    Clean the squashed fluff and debris out of the phone's charging port with a wooden tooothpick or similar. Be gentle.

  • Upgraded to iOS6 and now charging cable doesn't work

    I just upgraded to iOS6 n my iPhone 4, and now my charging cable doesn't work.  No...it's not an "official" Apple charger, but even the usb cable doesn't work when I plug it into my computer.  If I plug my iPad charger into it, it works fine.  How can the new operating system determine what kind of usb charging cable it "wants" to accept?  This charger and cable worked flawlessly before the OS upgrade.

    Same problem here. I use a wall charger and have had success by unplugging the charger from the wall, plugging the adapter into the iPhone, then plugging charger back into wall. Had the same problem with a car charger and got the phone to charge using the same procedure. I'd love to know if this works for you. Good luck!

  • If my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free

    if my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free

    I had a lightning cable, that came with my iPhone 5s, that frayed and broke at the connector.  I took the cable and phone into the Apple Store and they exchanged the cable for a new one with not a question asked.  Good experience.
    I think part of it is that the design of the Apple cables is quite flimsy especially at the connector and I think they see a lot of them fail.

  • Even genuine iphone 5 usb charging cable does not work for an year?

    I have bought an iphone 5 last year. With it, came the  original apple genuine iphone 5 lightning USB cable. It did not last for half year. I had to buy another original apple iphone 5 similar cable and it was gone within 3 months. I dont understand is it cable manufacturing problem? is apply selling fake cables? It is really annoying and I am really angry that such a reputed company cant give/ provide proper long lasting cables.
    My experience with these two genuine cables was that after some months of  usage, i used to observe even if its plugged it would not charge, or if you push it hard its charging. Firstly, I never keep my phone charging all time. Then how the hack can the charging cable die? or problem arise. I bought the phone and the charging cables when I was germany. I had to buy a 20 euro local companys USB charging cable after above two stopped working with no signs of damage. I have also tried cleaning the charging jack or socket where cable is inserted. It did not help. This local charging cable started to torn out automatically and it got fully damaged, Now I am in India, I bought another cable of 10 euros and it is just two days, it would not charge again.
    I am really furious now whether you use original or local USB cables they dont last for even a week? what the ****?
    Do I need to really pay for those portable charger with a big price tag, that my problem will be solved? very very upset. I never have any complaint with the phone, but the charging catastrophies, really ****** me off. I think of going back to other mobile brands like samsung or nokia where there is never a charging issue or battery drainage issue once you charge its goes for days or it  is also expensive buy a nokia or samsung charger if lose it or break it. but for iphones its really bugging situation and not just me many people around the world are having sick problem with iphone brand with charging ISSUES.
    APPLE PLEASE SORT THE PROBLEM OR SELL the PORTABLE IPHONE CHARGERS (WIRELESS) CHEAPER so that we dont have to use these silly little lightning cables. or I fear my APPLE I PHONE 5 is not genuine or its FAKE.
    PLEASE HELP>

    Look closely at the way you handle the cables. I have never had any cable, Apple or third-party, fail on me.

  • My ipod charger cord won't work unless I put presure on it

    This is my second iPod touch I've got, first one had a home button problem and got a new ipod and now it's my charging/syncing system not working,
    home button won't respond until I press real hard and the earphone port won't work, I can't hear. I need help asap. My warranty is expired so I don't know what to do, should I buy a new one? Thanks

    It appears that your iPod encountered an error and you have to restore via iTunes. That is how it works.
    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

  • Computer won't charge - plug won't work!

    The portable charger for by iBook (meaning the white box charger) used to be able to plug in anywhere and work even when upside down. Now its hanging out, won't charge, etc unless it is held in all the way the entire time. It does however work when I use the attachement.
    Has anyone else had this problem? It's quite annoying to have to push in the plug for the entirety of class with my knee.
    Ibook G4    

    Do you mean it won't stay plugged into the iBook, or it won't stay plugged into the wall outlet?
    It sounds like you need to replace the adapter.
    There are third party choices for an adapter:
    MCE Technologies
    http://www.madsonline.com/index.html?
    MacAlly adapter at Amazon.com
    adapter at Other World Computing
    Apple's is the only one with the glowing ring to indicate charging status, though, and can be found here:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M89 43LL/A
    I believe the one from Other World Computing is one of the sturdiest of the lot. The MacAlly adapter's cord is a bit flimsier than the one from Other World Computing, but both are working fine on our iBooks. We haven't tried the pricier ones.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation dies after disconnected from the charger, and won't work in the computer (windows). Help would be apreciated!

         I hadn't used my ipod for about a week, and when I went to go charge it, I tried to disconnect it. When I did, it just shut off. I tried it with several other charger cords (both car and home), tried pressing power and home but only seemed to work when connected to the power and nothing when not connected, and I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. Do I need some in-depth tech support or what?

    You can try here:

    However, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store might be in order.

  • Any ideas why my HDMI cable won't work anymore?

    I have a 2011 MBP and a Belkin HDMI cable. I've used the cable to connect to HDTVs and a VVME brand projector. When I connected the cable into my MBP it would always just work. Now, for a brief period my laptop screen goes blue like normal, but nothing appears from my computer to the projection screen, and then my laptop screen goes back to normal. So although the HDMI cable is connected from the projector to my MBP, nothing happens anymore. There isn't a galaxy screen or anything, the screen just says 'No Signal'. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • External monitor to macbook pro via dvi cable won't work

    can't get this hook up to work, help

    ..but dont use the dvi to vga adapter for lcd if it
    has vga option as well.
    ..very poor performance.
    ..just to make sure that you avoid situation like me
    thinking that something is wrong with my gpu.))
    Hi,
    I bought the Samsung 931BF and was told it came with DVI cables but they are not the right ones so for now (even thought the monitor does have DVI input)I just have it hooked up via the DVI/VGA adapter.
    The screen is actually quite crisp but I was wondering - am I going to see a significantly better image by using the DVI input ?
    If so, what adapter or cable should I be looking for ?
    Thank you so much for your reply !!

  • Brand new macbook air charger suddenly won't work

    I bought a new macbook about four weeks ago. Everything is in great shape, inlcuding the charger. It suddenly didn't work yesterday. I've tried some of the troubleshooting stuff, nothing is working. Any ideas?

    Failure to wake from sleep is not normal regardless of the Energy Saver settings.
    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • IPad Mini Camera cable won't work

    Hello, I have an iPad Mini (lovvvve it!!!) and purchased the USB camera kit. This works perfectly with my Olympus Pen EPM1 so I know I am doing it right. I also have an ancient Olympus mju 410 which I use for underwater pics when snorkelling on hols! I have plugged the cable in and it just says "one moment" and nothing happens.
    Does anyone know if this is because it is a bit old and the new fangled iPad is confusing it? The camera works fine when I plug it into a netbook to download photos.
    Thanks for any thoughts.

  • Lightning cable won't work with any computers, but will work with wall chargers

    My iPod Touch (5th Gen)'s cable is having some issues. I can not connect to any computers with it (I've tried two different iMacs, my Macbook Pro, and a car USB port that is used to play music through the car speakers). It used to work intermittently for a while, but now it doesn't work in any situation with computers. However, it will work with various power sources that have a USB port on them, but don't transfer data (A USB battery and a wall adaptor). This is using the AmazonBasics Apple Certified Lightning to USB Cable. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FA4Y66U/) I've had this issue with both iOS 8 and iOS 7, even after completely wiping the iPod.

    Try a genuine Apple cable
