HT4528 iphone 5 - dock will charge but not play music.

I've read and read and read posts about this same problem with no solution found.
I have an iphone 5 that just randomly quit playing music through any docking accessories.  It will continue to charge, but not play music.  It worked when I first got it, but later just stopped.  Same docking accessories, same cables, same phone.  Nothing changed, just quit working.  My phone is not jailbroken.  I have restored it.  I updated to the ios7 software which fixed the problem... for a day.  Now we are back to it not working again! 
Please, if anyone knows a way to fix this, help me!!!  This is the whole reason why I own an iphone.  It keeps me from having to have a seperate phone and ipod!!!
Thank you in advance.

Try unplugging the docking station from power for a minute or so, then also in that time, reset your phone by holding the power button and the home button until it turns off. Then turn it back on and try again.

    Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple. If no coverage, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

  • I have just got a iPod 5 gen 32gb and lightning adapter but can't get it to work with my docking station it will charge but not play audio please help??

    I have bought a 5th gen iPod and lightning adapter but it won't wrk on my docking station it charges but doesn't play audio? Please help

    Does the dock manufacture say it is compatible with the 5G iPod with iOS 6.0.1?
    Have you went to the manufacturer's support site? Contacted them?
    Try resetting the dock. How you do that depends upon the dock
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

    My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
    It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
    The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
    How do I fix this?

    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

  • Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

    Why only videos on iphone can be deleted but not the music or sync photos?

    Because that is the design of the iphone.
    Music and photos are added/deleted via the sync process.

  • Shuffle will charge, but not turn on or play

    My Shuffle (1 gen) will charge and lights up when charging, and is recognized by iTunes when put it in the UBS port. But, it won't turn on or show the battery charge when it's not plugged into the computer.
    I did the 5 Rs and restored, but it still won't work. It is not under warranty. Any tips??

    I almost have the exact same problem. There is one minor difference.
    My shuffle charges and shows up in iTunes while plugged into the USB port.
    My problem is that when I unplug it and I use the on-off switch to turn it on, it does not "boot" and play more often than the occasions when it does "boot" and play. I first noticed my problem last week immediately after I accidentally switched off the shuffle while it was playing. When I switched it back on it the usual green light for a second didn't come on, the LED on the battery status button did not light up at all, and of course, it wouldn't play.
    It stays like this most of the time. Occasionally it will "boot" and play shortly after unplugging from the USB port. This is not good because of course; one does not always carry a device with a USB port.
    I wonder if indeed it needs a new battery. Can anyone confirm this? Is this battery replaceable?
    Does anyone know the MTBF of one of those batteries in hours? I can honestly say that I haven't used my shuffle that many hours. I use it to work out for about one hour, three times a week. I have been doing that for over six months now. Before that I didn't use it that much after the initial period after buying it when I used it all the time. I forgot to switch it off and the battery drained on only one occasion a couple of months ago. I have a little bit of doubt as to whether or not it is the battery.
    I've been reading about the iPod Shuffle Reset Utility. Many folks have been using it to resolve other issues. No one has mentioned that this utility can solve our particular problem. I hope that someone from apple gives us their 2 cents (or more) and help us clear this issue. I suppose running the utility can't hurt. I believe all it does is erase all data and settings and re-installs the original software that it came with. I have created a playlist in iTunes that contains the same list of songs my shuffle has right now so I can restore all the songs in the same order using that playlist after the reset.
    Looking forward to solving this and I would truly appreciate any comments and/or questions that would contribute to finding a solution.

  • My iphone4s will charge but not sync when connected to my macbook pro, using the latest itunes

    My iphone4s will charge when plugged into my macbook pro but will not sync. I am using the latest version of itunes and I already tried restarting both the computer and the device. What gives??

    After days mucking around this worked for me..
    For Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.
    Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not  present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device  if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
    In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
    Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called  "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see  "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program  Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
    Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.

  • What format am I supposed to import CDS into on my new Macbook Pro? CDS will import, but not play in iTunes once I import.

    I am having trouble playing imported CDS into my new OSX Lion MacBook Pro.
    I am able to import them but then when I try to play music, nothing plays.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    It should plug into one of your USB ports.

  • IPod mini will charge, but not update songs

    Just last week my ipod mini stopped updating songs. Before that it was working fine. When I plug it in, it charges but iTunes doesn't pop up and I can't update my songs into my iPod. Someone Help Me.

    Hello, my ipod charges when I connect it to the computer, but it doesn't appear neither on ITunes or the computer itself. As soon as I put the USB in the port, a message in the right corner comes up saying that the USB peripheric isn't recognised..So obviously if ipod doesn't appear on Itunes, I can't put new songs on it.
    I tried connecting it to other computers and it works.
    What can I do??? Thanks

  • IPhone will charge but not be recognised by iTunes or iPhoto, other iPhones will though with same cable, How can i fix it?

    Suddenly my iphone stopped being recognised by the Mac, ive tried other iphone which work so I know the cable and itunes work but my iphone is simply not picked up.
    I dont know why although in june 2010 I got it slightly wet but it dried out and worked again about 5 days later if thats related?
    I have no idea what to do and my tech specs are:
    Macbook pro 2011 late
    Newest version of Lion OS X
    iTunes at newest version
    iPhone with os 5.0.1

    I had the same issue, my iphone would charge when i plugged it in but the computer would not pick it up, so i read this forum and other ones as well as went through the apple approved methods of trying to fix it and did all of them, then today my iphone charge ran down because i hadn't taken the time to plug it in to charge and it died, then when i plugged it in and it got it's life back and was charging, the computer read it,
    so i recommend letting the charge completely run out until your iphone dies then plug it in.

    I am having the same problem, and it started soon after I downloaded the latest update (not sure if that has anything to do with it, but others seem to be having the same problem after updating).
    I posted a topic about it here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6955155#6955155
    Let me know if you find the solution!
