HT4528 iPhone5 charging cable connection problem

just received the iphone 5(verizon)
i have a problem with charging cable.
When i connect the cable to the phone, it keeps charging on and off ... on and off with 1~10 seconds interval.
is the cable defective or the phone? or is there a way to fix it?

I have similar problem, and Apple is not prepared for it, only listening to clients with appointments.  My iPhone5 bougth yesterday (Serial No. F2LJD9MDF38W) at Best Buy Dadeland Miami only starts charging when it is turned off (I guess).  I left the iPhone5 charging all night.   This morning the battery was charged 20%, and try for several hours to make it work.  No success.  I went at 11AM to the store, and with the phone dead, it started charging up to 6%. Ivan Ruiz, an Apple employee at Best Buy told me to go the Apple Store, since Best Buy did not have replacement cables (hopefully this is the problem).  I arrived 45 minutes ago at Apple Dadeland Mall, two employees of Apple Mike L and a blond lady (with freckles) told me I needed an appointment, so they can take care of my problem.  Mike L reacted and said that he can give me an appoitment at 1PM, and had to wait one hour more.  I said that I wanted the problem to be solved now.  Chris Gomez jumped into the issue and help me with a replacement cable, but reminding me I should buy Apple Care, since many thing could go wrong with phone.  I refused.  I am now charging my iPhone5 at Apple Store.  I hope this is the real problem.  I have been a satisfied BlackBerry user for almost a decade, and I tried to make the change to iPhone5 yesterday. Let see if I stay with it.

  • 6500 Cable Connectivity Problem

    Hello,
    I have just upgraded my phone to a Nokia 6500. I have installed the software on my pc. I have connected the cable to the phone and it has asked me to select the type of connection e.g. pc suite etc. When I select pc suite nothing connects to the pc. The phone display keeps asking for to select the pc suite etc. Again and again
    I think that there is a cable connecting problem on the phone.
    Has anyone else had this problem??
    Thanks
    Steve

    HI,
    The sane problem exists for me too. Its not detecting the phone, no response.

  • Charger cable connected to the display screens has stopped charging my macbook

    the charger cable connected to the display screens has stopped charging my macbook. Can you replace these cables? It doesn't appear you can disconnect the cable, like you can the power supply to the display screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

    Mine did the same thing after 5 months, it is broken just go to the store and as long as you bought the phone within the last year they will replace it for free. They are well aware of the problem

  • Nokia 6700 USB cable connectivity problem -fixed-

    Ok, got my 6700 today. Everything worked like a charm, until I tried to connect it to my PC using the supplied USB cable. I downloaded and installed the latest Nokia PC suite which supports this phone (7.1.30.9) and connected the phone. Vista was unable to install a driver, and the phone was listed in the device manager as 'unknown usb device'. The phone display reported 'no response from host' after plugging in the usb cable. 
    I searched online for a solution, and tried the following:
    - repaired the install of the Nokia connectivity cable driver: no success.
    - deinstalled the nokia pc suite, ran the pc suite cleaner, rebooted and reinstalled the pc suite: no success.
    - threw away the unknown usb device in the device manager and plugged the cable back in so that Vista would try to install the driver again: no success.
    - tried other USB slots (not behind HUB): no success.
    At this point I was so frustrated that I decided to take out the supplied 1gb micro sd card and transfer some data to it using a card reader. When I looked in the root of the sd card, I noticed that there was an executable called pc-suite.exe there, among some other files. I decided to delete those files to see if they were causing the problems, I deleted the following files:
    - autorun.inf
    - launcher.exe
    - pc-suite.exe
    - qf
    Replaced the micro sd card in the phone, plugged in the usb cable and voila: connection! Everything worked like a charm.
    During my online search I noticed I wasn't the only one experiencing connectivity problems with the 6700. Maybe this fix will help other people as well, that's why I decided to post it here. ;-)

    Thanks Peter, nice job - same problem, your solution is working. Shame on Nokia - i have so many problems with E52, and now with 6700 - why ? Is it so difficult to make a reliable software ? So disappointed ... maybe Apple is the solution - but after 10 years with Nokia why change with Apple ?

  • Itouch cable connection problem

    My Itouch4 no longer consistently will connect by cable to a music player or PC.  I often get a "this device does not support recharging and though I can jiggle it to get a recharge, the player doesn't recognize the device.  Also when I connect by cable to my PC I sometimes get an Itunes error message saying it can't connect with the device.  Can the cable connection be cleaned or repaired when this happens?

    Thanks for your help.
    The cable is OK.  It works with another Itouch.
    I looked at the connector with the magnifying glass and don't see any problem but I was able to extract quite a bit of lint from the recess. 
    Still no connection though with the music player.

  • Brand new iphone5s charging cable not charging. Why is this happening?

    I just bought an iphone5s today and when it was dying, I charged it in the AT&T store before I left and it charged but when I came home and tried to charge it, it wouldn't charge. The outlet works but it's just the outlet that doesn't work I don't know why...could the charging cable perhaps be defected?

    So which is it?  Does it work or not?

  • Cable connection problem

    Hello All!
    The problem with connection phone and computer is very popular and I used search - but it isn't help me.
    I have:
    notebook Fujitsu-Ciemens Lifebook S6210,
    desktop Fujitsu-Ciemens Scenic P320,
    Windows XP professional with SP2 installed on both systems,
    phone Nokia 6021 and Nokia 9500,
    Nokia USB cable,
    PC Suite version 6.80.22 installed.
    The problem:
    After connect cable to my desktop or notebook windows prompt me to install driver for new hardware, but I haven't the driver for cable. I tried many times another combinations installation and deinstallation, but no result. Important: the same problem on both computers with both telephones. I still nedd help!
    Thanks in advance.

    SOmething is wrong here.
    1) YOu should highlight the unknown USB device with yellow mark in device manager, right click with mouse and select uninstall.
    2) Then go to the control panel - add/remove programs and see what you have installed there,you should have:
    Nokia PC Suite
    Nokia PC Connectivity Solution
    Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver
    Select first Nokia PC Suite - remove
    Then select the "Solution" and remove that too
    If all goes OK, the driver should disappear also, but if it does not, then select it and press "remove" for that too.
    3) Now boot your PC and go to www.nokia.com/Pcsuite and download the PC Suite 6.8.22 to your desktop.
    4) Doubleclick the downloaded file to start the installation. DO NOT CONNECT any phones to PC at this stage.
    5) Connect the cable + phone when the get connected wizard in PC Suite asks you to do that
    6) The windows notification about "found new hardware" should appear as a pop-up, but NO windows wizard should pop up, because the Nokia cable drivers are signed by Microsoft and thus the installation should be automatic.
    YOu just have to wait until the windows installs all the driver classes to your 9500 (and there will be many, close to 7-8) so just wait. The different driver classes should appear in the windows pop-up.

  • E65 cable connection problem

    Hy! I have a small problem if i can call it that. Every time i try to connect my phone to the computer via data cable i get prompted to the Select Mode window on my phone (Pc Suite or Data Transfer), i choose PC Suite and then nothing. I also get a pop-up on my computer that says the device malfunctioned. I tried changing the cable with a new one but same thing happened. What can be the problem? thanx

    I had the same problem so I tried bluetooth, it connected and then disconnected. After that my cable worked, don't ask me why.

  • 5th Gen Ipod Classic Charging and Connecting problem. Battery has been changed and no improvement.

    I have a 5th gen classic 30 GB ipod, that will not charge with an adaptor or USB 2.0  It also will not display the "Do not  disconnect" when connected to a USB 2.0 conector and is not being picked up by my computer (Windows Vista).  It was originally on a XP computer years ago.   Battery change did not help.  I have a lot of music I would like to get off of it, but my computer will not recognize and the new battery is draining down. Help me.

    there is also the posibility of it being fried
    have you considered sending it for diagnostics?
    the online place I use (digiexpress) charges $25 for diagnostics and estimate,
    if you decide to have it fixed, they then add the cost of parts, or ship it back unfixed.
    labor is included in the $25 fee
    My classic had 2 batterises changed by myself to no avail, until I decided to send it in to realize the board was fried. waste of money changing batteries, iPod went to the recycling bin. now i leave it to the pros and actually save $$.

  • Charging cable identification problem

    Hi,
    I found the iPad charging very slowly lately.  It seemed that the kids have been messing around with all the chargers and cables we have around (7 in total).
    Now I found out that the iPad needs its own charger and cable due to power consumption.
    Now I found the charger by looking at the output (10W), but how to find/identify the right (original iPad) cable to get the iPad to charge high power as normal.
    At least I guess it also needs its own original cable?
    There is no way I can tell which cable is which?
    I assume at least that the cable when plugged into the iPad identifies it self as being for iPad and high power consumption.
    The iPad itself displays nothing, only if it wil or will not be charged, but not if it runs on low charge or high power charge.
    Any help, ideas how to solve this and find the right cable?
    Thanks in advance Hans.

    The cables are the same and should be inter-changeable (unless you have any old firewire cables) - I use an old iPod cable to charge or sync my iPad, iPhone and iPod. It is only the charger itself that matters.
    You can safely use the iPad charger with iPods and iPhones : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327

  • MIDI cable connection problems

    I just recently bought a MIDI cable and I plugged the out end into my keyboard and the usb into my iMac, and the computer recognizes the keyboard and MIDI connection but whenever i play sound won't come out my Garageband but it will on my keyboard, i would like to record on garageband using my keyboard, any ways i can fix this?

    I meant Local volume knob, not Vocal volume knob! By that I just mean the volume knob, which I'm pretty sure it does. Basically, just turn the volume down so you only hear the computer.
    I just looked at the manual. It goes further and suggests turning off local control (see pages 29 - 31)

    Then, make sure to plug the MIDI cable into the out jack on the back of the keyboard and the USB jack on the computer. (sounds like you are already doing that).
    Then, you said "the computer recognizes the keyboard and MIDI connection." What do you mean by that? If you select, say, a piano sound in GB, and play your Casio, do you see the meter light up at all on the left of the piano track? That would mean that at least you knew GB was seeing you play the keyboard, and you could target your troubleshooting at getting the sound out of the computer.

  • IPad and RCA cable connection problem

    Have been using iPad with RCA cables to show pictures on tv. Last week, all of a sudden my iPad is saying that the accessory is not compatible with iPad. Any suggestions or feedback is welcome.

    Have you tried restarting the iPad? (Hold down the power button until you get the red "slide to power off", do so, and then press the power button again to start the iPad back up.)

  • IPhone5 won't start up or charge or connect to pc

    IPhone5 won't start up or charge or connect to pc  still not working after trying different cable removing sim and hold home and on button :(

    If your warranty is expired then they won't send you a new one. That's the point of having a warranty, once it expires then there's nothing Apple can do about it. They give iPods a grace period of 1 year to malfunction, if the iPod does happen to screw up and not a year old yet then Apple does replace the damaged iPod and sends the customer a refurbished one.
    Since you have no warranty you can buy another MP3 player (from Apple or whatever other company you choose). Apple does not sell new minis any more, only refurbished ones which are cheaper than new ones actually.

  • After charging my iphone5 for many hours I checked it and it 100% charged but not fully charged as the sign of charging on the top of the screen is still and the sign of unblug the charging cable doesn't show up and this happened several times ...!?

What is the problem and how I fix it !? Thanks in advance :)

    Apple told you it was unrepairable.... You had it serviced by an unauthorized party. It's now no longer eligible for out of warranty replacement by Apple.
    There's really nothing else we can say about it. Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new one.

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

    My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
