Charging iphone with computer

once the phone syncs to itunes it disconnects and quits charging... is there a setting to change?

Very rarely do I plug into my original charger. After syncing new data every other day 'er so, I just leave my iPhone plugged in to the computer after disconnecting and closing iTunes. It charges, maybe not quite as fast as the original charger, but it's convenient. Just leave it plugged in.

  • Charging iPhone with closed lid on mbp

    I've been researching, but found nothing this specific so far. Related links:
    - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476 - This says it may or may not charge
    - http://forums.mactalk.com.au/11/72536-snow-leopard-not-charging-iphone-while-lid -closed.html - This says it should work since Leopard and if it's not working to reset the SMC should fix it (I haven't tried yet): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    - http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=795007 This is not the same model, but for him it seems to not work anyway
    - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2126178 Suggests http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 for dealing with closed lid, but requires external display, among other things that don't come to this case (or so I guess)
    To me, experience showed that closing the lid with the iPhone already connected works fine. I'm using a macbook pro 2009, as already hinted elsewhere. It's 13'' if that makes any difference.
    But if I have the computer sleeping in the bag and want to just plug the iPhone for charging convenience, then it doesn't work. I have to remove it, open the lid, wait for charging to begin, then I can safely close, sleep, put it back on the bag, and it will be charging.
    So I wonder how this is supposed to work, and if I can "fix" this behavior. Anyone knows?

    I actually solved it on my own luck. Oddly enough, just need to remove and re-plug.
    Here, this is a small chart:
    1- Computer with lid open, up and running with energy - whatever AC or not.
    normal behavior, everything as expected: plug in iPhone it starts charging.
    2- Computer with closed lid, sleeping as blinking light indicate and plugged in AC power.
    normal behavior, everything as expected: plug in iPhone it starts charging.
    3- Computer with closed lid for long time, unplugged from AC power, no cables on it whatsoever.
    plug in iPhone - nothing happens.
    unplug it and plug in again in either port - it starts charging!
    If you close the lid and don't wait it gets to sleep (that is, white blinking light - if you want to be sure, wait till the computer cools down, if it was hot - that's sleep mode) you'll get normal behavior right on the first plug time. The trick of plugging again seem to work always from my tests. So this is a undocumented feature that took me freaking long enough to uncover!
    Now it's aight!

  • Charging iphone with ps3 super slim

    Will it cause any problems with my iphone to charge it with the god of war super slim ps3

    Use your computer to charge the phone if you're unsure...
    But for clarification, the iPhone will charge on any USB standard power (5V 1A)
    Apple won't support it if your phone erupts into a ball of fire unless you were using their charger.
    Also, remember this thing called time zones, the volunteers and other assorted experts on here are either working, sleeping or, studying. Be paitient to get answers.

  • Is it safe to charge iphone with HTC charger?

    I'm in travel now and I haven't access to my charger. is it safe to charge my iphone with HTC or sonyErricson charger. the cable connector is with me.

    Hey I have done this in person it works but only if you have a mophine iPhone battery case then you can use the htc charger on the case's mini USB port and it actually charges the case and the iPhone! The case only works for 4&4s devices.
    The above is a method I currently use, any other working methods would be nice to know as I also have this question.

  • Connecting iphone with computer

    Mostly when I connect my iphone with my computer itunes kicks in and syncing starts up automatically.
    However, sometimes nothing happens. Ive even had a screen asking me to connect the iphone to itunes when it (iphone) is already plugged into the computer.
    What is going on and can I force a syncing between the two?
    JohnC

    Sometimes plugging and unplugging the sync cable from the phone will take care of this.

  • Charge iPhone with iPod cable

    I was wondering if I could charge and sync my iPhone with my iPod cable, allowing me to leave one at work, and one at home. I just got the CDMA iPhone, and I have the 5th generation Video iPod 30GB. I heard that there is a difference with amps or power or something. I don't want to mess up either batteries. I heard that maybe you can charge but not sync. I have found a bunch of different answers. Thanks.

    The cables themselves are the same for the iPods, iPhones & the iPad. The power adapters may be different, but all of the USB cables are essentially the same.

  • Battery icon never full when charging iPhone with iTunes 8.2

    I'm 99% sure this just started happening with iTunes 8.2
    It's pretty minor as things go, but still annoying. After charging, my iPhone shows fully charged both with the large Battery while docked and on the little icon in the upper right corner of the iPhone.
    However, the iTunes icon still shows the lightning bolt.
    The iTunes icon does progress from being empty to full during the charging process, but never gets to the point where the full "plug" replaces the charging "lightning bolt"
    Is anyone else experiencing this with an original iPhone?
    One thing I did consider is that if iTunes 8.2 is being released in advance of the next gen iPhone and that device has a larger capacity battery, the iTunes might not think an older iPhone is completely charged when, in fact, it is. This seems a bit far fetched to me, but would be a bug nonetheless.
    Please pass along your experiences here...

    More information....
    I left my iPhone docked after the iPhone itself indicated that it was fully charged.
    About three hours after the iPhone displayed the completed charge plug, the iTunes charging icon finally changed from lightning bolt to plug.
    Bottom line, either the iPhone displays a charge complete icon too early, or iTunes does too late.
    Now, I'm starting to wonder if my formerly far fetched idea about iTunes being, umm, tuned more towards the next gen iPhone's batter may not have been that far fetched.
    Anyone else?

  • HT3819 sync my iphone with computer

    I am unable to sync songs from my PC to Iphone.. help

    It depends on what you want to sync. If it is music, apps, movies, bought from Apple's online stores then you can do this via the free iCloud service from Apple. You can also do this for photos.
    If you want to do iCal, Apple Addressbook, again you can do this via iCloud. If you want to sync to Outlook you need to do that locally, but if the account is an Microsoft Exchange account you can have the iPhone linked directly to the same Exchange account.
    If it is music ripped from CDs you have to pay for the extra iTunes Match service which then runs via iCloud.
    If the iPhone and computer are on the same network (the iPhone being on WiFi) then you can do WiFi syncing rather than having to use a USB cable.

  • Ok to charge iPhone with iPod charger?

    I was looking at the specs on both:
    iPhone AC adapter: 5 volts @ 1 amp
    iPod (5th gen) AC adapter: 12 volts @ 1 amp
    Obviously considering the numbers don't match and the total power output is not the same (12 watts for ipod adapter and 5 watts for iPhone adapter), it is not good to charge the iPhone on the ipod adapter.
    But I was wondering, can the iPhone handle it? Has anybody tried it?
    Or do I have to keep charging the iPhone through the computer (I have no more outlets for the iPhone AC adapter to plug into)
    The reason I am asking is that the iPhone is taking a long time to charge through the USB port on the computer. I plugged in to charge this afternoon and it is only about 80% done. This is the first time I am charging it since I got it though so that might be the cause.
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    OK, I give up. Which is the right answer?

    The Ipod and iPhone chargers are the same. there is no problem using the ipod charger with the iPhone or the other way around. If anyone tells you that it's not ok you should ignore them cos they don't know what they are talking about.

  • Charging iphone on computer other then yours

    i do not have an outlet available to charge my phone, but i do have my work computer which is a dell, and not my home computer. will plugging it in the USB ruin my phones settings?

    You would have to check with your IT department and find out if applications have been blocked from installation. If it is blocked your charging may work, but it would deny you USB support because it's missing the drivers.
    If your IT department supplied you with a surge protector and you have a spot free or need to make two spots free, you can recharge your iPhone from that using the supplied AC charger.
    If you have three devices that need charging and IT approves it, you can add a multi port docking station. CallPOD, PowerMat, and a few other vendors have 3+ USB docking stations.

  • Charging iPhone with sync cable and samsung TV

    Would I be able to use the Apple Universal Dock and charge/sync cable and plug it into a Samsung TV to charge? (Similar to what people would do with a computer and the charge/sync cable?)
    Would there be damage to the phone?

    Not iPhones? But it says right on the box that the Apple Universal Dock is compatible with iPhone?

  • Charging iphone with audio jack?

    I just purchased a new vehicle, and the auxillary connection for media is an audio jack input. Does anyone know where I can get an adapter for the cord that comes with the iphone? Or possibly a cord with the apple male connection on one side and a male audio jack on the other?
    Thanks!!

    I'm alittle confused, mainly with the title. Are you looking to charge the iPhone through the audio jack from the car? If so there is no power and no way to charge it from there. The AUX jack in the car is for audio in only.
    There are cables that have the iPod dock end to plug into the iPhone, and then it splits to audio and USB jack for charging. You could then plug the USB end into a cigarette USB power jack from the car and the audio cables could plug into the AUX jack on the car. I would suggest trying a Best Buy or Future shop.

  • Safe to charge iPhone with Blackberry USB adapter?

    I have the small wall-plug-to-USB adapter from my Blackberry that looks like the one below. Is it safe to use a standard Apple 30 pin + USB connecter (pictured below the Bberry connector) with it to charge my iPhone 4S? Otherwise I have to buy a second Apple-branded connector to have one at both home and work.

    usb is 5volt ios devices can charge with anything that provide 5volts
    if the charger don't follow the usb std and provide 50volts the phone will explode
