Help-iphone wont charge

Hi,
Last night I plugged my iphone into the wall outlet to charge and sat it down. I came back an hour later and noticed that it wasn't charging. So I plugged it into my computer and itunes couldn't reconize it and it also wouldn't charge. I went to the cingular store and bought a car charger. I plugged my phone into it and it started charging but it didn't have the charging icon on the phone. I'm stumped as to why itunes won't reconize my phone and why won't it work with the wall adapter??

Start by performing the troubleshooting steps in this article:

If you are still having trouble getting the iPhone recognized after following all the steps in that article, you can try putting your iPhone into recovery mode and see if it is recognized then:

If the iPhone is still not being recognized, you may want to set up an appointment at your local Genius Bar and have have the iPhone evaluated:

  • My iphone wont charge and my PC can't see it.

    My iphone wont charge and my PC can't see it. can anybody help.  At first a yellow warning triangle appeared saying this device is not compatible with charging. but that does not show now.

    Most likely a hardware problem, which it may be possible to fix. Get a magnifier and look in the dock connector on the bottom of the phone. If there is dirt or moisture in it clean it with a dry toothbrush. If a pin is bent try to straighten it. Also try a different cable. If all of these fail the phone is broken.

  • HT201412 iphone wont charge/turn on

    My Iphone wont charge i have never dropped it or spilt water on it its been a case eversince i purchased it the battery has now gone so it wont turn oni have tried charging through the laptop and through the mains with apple approved chargers and still nothing can anyone help please?

    If the device battery has been depleated to the point there is no charge in the device - it MAY take some time before you get an indication that the device is charging. Please charge the device into a know good charging system ie... good USB cord and charging adapter. Leave it there for a period of 2-3 hours to see if the charging indicator does not show up on the front of the devices screen.
    Good luck.

  • My iphone wont charge can the charging port be repaired or replaced

    my iphone wont charge can the charging port be replaced or repaired

    Apple does not repair devices at all.
    As stated, you can elect to find a local repair shop to do the work, but understand that Apple does not sell parts either.
    Alternatively, you can choose to do an Out of Warranty replacement via Apple and get a 90 day warranty on the replacement device.
    Another option would be to replace the device with a more current model.

  • My iphone wont charge its update prblm or not

    my iphone wont charge its update prblm or not..........

    How are you charging the device?  Are you using the Apple brand provided charger & cable?  Are you connecting it to a USB port on a computer or directly to a power outlet?  How long are you leaving the device to sit an charge?

    Your signature say iOS4.3.1.
    If you have a 3G, you cannot be running 4.3.1
    iOS4.3.x and higher requires a 3GS. 
    While this has no bearing on your current issue... it could cause confusion if you need assistance in the future with other iOS related issues.
    Make sure you know which device you have.  Identify iPhone models.

  • HT1476 my iphone wont charge even if im using new battery charger

    my iphone 4 wont charge even if im using new battery charger please help me how to fix it..

    Ignore the hysteria about destroying any Apple support by taking screwdrivers and levering devices to install batteries supplied from goodness knows where to you iPhone. Apple parts are NOT available from the Internet.
    Logic: the charger is faulty. You might have covered this.
    The cable is faulty. Have you tried a different cable?
    The docking port is blocked By pocket fluff or other detritus. Have you checked this, and/ or tried to clean it out?
    The phone is faulty: refer it to Apple.

  • Help!-wont charge- A USB driver has exceeded its power limits?!!?

    my iPhone charged just fine for the past two months, and now it only charges sometimes.
    I will plug it into the wall charger, and it will charge just fine, and then i'll go to charge it again sometime, and it just wont charge, so i tried to plug it into my macbook, and my imac, and they both said "a USB driver has exceeded its power limits, etc, etc." and so i tried my PC, and it gave me the same message. This has happened more than once, and eventually it just charges, but then the whole situation will repeat days later.
    I've called apple over 3 times, and no one has helped me. so...
    help??

    First, try a different cable. It may be shorting out causing the USB port to overload. Especially since it happens on two computers.
    If the cable is ok, try turning the iPhone off. This can be done by holding down the sleep and home buttons until the off slider appears. Then restart it.
    If this doesn't help, take it to an Apple store for assistance.

    Can someone please help me, iv only had my iPad a few days, now it wont charge, I have tried both the plug and USB connections and still wont charge have even left them in for two whole days any suggestions or has it got to back to shop I brought it at?

    You cannot charge an ipad from a usb port unless it is in sleep mode. You can purchase an adapter that will allow this however, http://www.lindy.co.uk/usb-charging-adapter-for-ipad/73336.html

    try resetting the iPhone with the home button and sleep/wake button until you get the apple logo. If this doesnt try charging through another computer if you havent already. also try different usb ports after restarting the computer.
    If none of these work I would call Apple or take to a local Apple Store.

    Could be new or refurbished, there's no way to tell...they all come in a plain white box. Doesn't really matter though, as all refurbished iPhones get new batteries & cases.
    You get a 90 day warranty or the balance of your original warranty, whichever is greater.
