HT201263 I cannot charge my iPhone 4 and cannot sync it either, I think the problem may be with the 30 pin connection port on the bottom of the phone, what can I do to clean out this port?

I cannot charge my iPhone 4 and cannot get my computer to register when I plug it into a USB port so cannot sync it either. I suspect the problem is with the 30 pin port on the base of my phone. Can this port be cleaned just in case there is 'fluff' or some other foreign material in there?

Try disabling all security software and firewalls, then try again.
Or try from a different computer.
This error is a pain in the butt and a new issue, too. I'm sorry.

    We've think that Apple do it for making the change of the phone!!  :O
    what will we have to do for making the downgrade of OS of the phone?
    tks Andrea

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    Apple has never supported downgrading of the iOS.

  • Why can't I listen to music while charging my iPhone 4S?  As soon as i plug in the phone goes mute

    Why can't I listen to my music while charging my iPhone 4S?  As soon as I plug in my phone goes mute!

    reset the device (home and sleep/wake button for 5-10sec)
    make sure mute isnt turned on or the ringer/silent switch
    -double tap home and swipe the bottom window to the left and make sure the mute button hasnt been toggled (if its set up there, might be screen lock depending on settings)
    reset all settings (settings >general >reset)
    if all else fails try a backup/restore

  • Please can someone help me? Have iphone 4 and just returned home from abroad where the phone worked fine. Now it wont receive wifi. It picks up signal and shows on phone but cant connect to internet. Computers and ipod all working ok

    Hi, please can someone help me?
    Have just returned home from abroad where my iphone 4 worked perfectly.
    Now at home it wont receive wifi. It picks up the signal which shows in phones display but cant connect to the internet. Computers and ipod all working fine so I assume it must be a problem with the phone.
    Have checked that wifi is turned on and tried resetting phone to no avail

    Hello melissa82686,
    From your description, it sounds like you may have been using the SMS feature of Continuity in iOS 8. If this is the case and it has somehow become misconfigured after a recent change, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    SMS
    With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a  conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

    This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
    If this is the case... Then...
    Sorry... But...

  • My screen has gone grey and i can do nothing with the phone, what can I do?

    The phone fell from my desk with a little help fom a hungry cat... seemed ok at first but later in the day I found the screen to be a dark grey & dead to the touch. This is clearly not good & I have no idea what I can try, any helpful suggestions would be gratefully recieved. Oh yes, I know the phone is part working as I can hear it respond to an incoming text & it rings when rung! 

    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • I don't have many files, or many large applications on my MacBook Pro. 13'' with a 320 gb hard drive. However, Activity Monitor says I'm using almost half of it. What can I do to clean out the hard drive and keep only the files that I actually use?

    I'm curious if there's a "defragging" or "cleaning" service available from Apple that I can use to take back some of my hard drive space.

    Here are some links with information and caveats.

  • My girlfriend has my old iphone 4 and still has my Apple ID on the phone. How do I change it to her Apple ID?

    I have given my girlfriend my old iPhone 4 but she still has my Apple ID on there. She is able to see what apps I've downloaded and it asks for my password and user name when she tried to install something on there. I want it so she has her own on there and is able to access her own app store etc without having mine on there. She was also getting texts through on it that my cousin was sending to me on my existing iPhone 5?
    Does anyone know how to change this? Or what the text issue could be?

    Follow this to allow her to start from scratch as if a new iPhone with her own Apple id
