HT5278 my iphone 4s will not charge or be recognized when plugged into the computer after the ios 5.1.1 software update why is this?

my iphone 4s will not charge or be recognized when plugged into the computer after the ios 5.1.1 software update why is this? i have used many usb cords also.

Had same problem and did the normal reset 10seconds but did not work.
I plugged in USB and held the on/off switch and home button for 20seconds and the "Connect to Itunes" came on the screen. I then opened up Itunes and it directed me to restore.

  • HT1665 My iPhone 4 will not charge, but powers on when plugged in. Suggestions?

    Yesterday, my phone charged just fine and now, it's as if my charger cable has become Google. As stated in the title, it doesn't charge, but after I turn it off and plug it in, my phone powers on normally. So, I'm hoping to get some suggestions as opposed to my last resort: Buying a brand new, over-priced charger that will stop working only after a month and a half just as my current one has.
    I'm assuming that the problem is my charger cable because I've tested it on other iPhones and got the same result.

    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.
    Also, try a different charger, they are not that expensive.

  • My iPhone 4s will not charge in car or truck. It would appear after research that this is a software issue with ios5. Will there ever be a patch to correct this infuriating problem?!!!

    Mine charges just fine, as does everyone's iPhone 4S that I know. Apple even sells a number of car chargers that are certified to work:

    Perhaps there is a problem with your charger or the outlet you're using in your car/truck.

  • Ipod nano 1st gen 2gb will not charge makes buzzing sound when plugged u

    this *** this is my 3rd ipod and i really want to know windows says usb plugged up thing not recongnized and has malfunctioed in the past i would slap my ipod and it would work this ***!!!!

    Wrong term, perhaps, but I did finally drain it to the low battery warning. When reattached to the ac adapter, it will sleep when the play button is held down, or when sleep is selected from the main menu. After 1hr charge, I detached it and tried to do the same and it would not work.
    I reattached it to the charger, and will let it finish charging. Sleep works again after I hook it back up - it's weird that it won't do it on it's own, though.

  • IPhone 4S will not charge, what are my options

    My iPhone 4S will not charge, I've tried different cords, how do you remove the back, and could it be the battery? 

    Morning lake host,

    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
    Hope this helps,
    Mario

  • Iphone 5 will not charge or turn on after updating to ios 8.1.2

    I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1.2 just the other day. My phone died last night at about 40% battery left. I have plugged it in for over 30 minutes and it will not charge, I just get a black screen. I have tried the hard reboot, and still nothing. I cannot even get it to go into recovery mode when plugged into my computer on itunes. My phone received a new battery under the battery replacement program less than three months ago. The battery was replaced by the apple store. When I go to support they want my serial number, but I cannot turn on the phone to get it plus they send me an email that I am suppose to open on my iPhone, but I cannot turn it on. Please help, I do not have the money to send it to apple.

    I just drove 4 hours to the nearest Apple store, the same on that replaced the battery 3 months ago. They tried to fix it, but could not and then admitted they probably did something when they replaced the battery. So with the manger's approval they replaced my phone at no charge to me, even thought I bought the phone back in 2012.

  • My iphone 4S will not charge unless the power is switched off.  How to fix?

    Hello,
    My iPhone 4S will not charge unless it is switched off.  This happened suddenly with no other symptom several weeks ago.  If I plug the charger in, while powered on, the phone doesn't appear to detect it has been plugged in and the battery icon doesn't change its display to show charging.  Charging only happens when the phone is powered off completely.
    I did some searches for this type of problem and saw it has happened to a few with earlier version iphones, but didn't see any published solutions.
    A visit to the local Apple store didn't help either as I was told had to make an appointment; can't make an appointment for awhile because out of the country and no Apple stores where I'm at.
    This is a very annoying problem.  Anyone else have this happen and have a fix?

    I got this problem solved and just want to let others know what it was.
    I followed ewdel1's advice and brought my phone in to have it looked at and sure enough, was told that this is a problem others have had and it was due to a faulty integrated circuit.  Luckily, I was able to take this in to be looked at when I did because my 1 year warranty was about to expire in a week.
    Apple replaced my 4S with a "new" phone.  The replacement looks and works good as new, so happy I didn't have to go through a hassle and the replacement was very straightforward.

  • Iphone 4 will not charge and itunes does not recogise it at all.  When I plug it in to charge it says that it needs to be restored.

    My iphone 4 will not charge when I plug it in, it will turn on but it says that it needs to be restored and will not do anything else.  When I plug it into itunes it isn't recognized at all.  I took it into the verizon store and they were not any help at all.  My phone isn't under warranty anymore so they don't care.  Please help, I had to go back to my old phone, a droid and I hate it so much. 

    its fixed!!  After posting my problem with the FROZEN ipod classic (2007) 80 gb a screen popped up with similar subjects that I did not find in my original search.  'Rich Fleming' in the community posted a suggestion to someone with a similar frozen issue and it WORKED when I tried it. 
    hold the 'menu' and the 'circle' buttons down at the same time, KEEP the pressed until the apple appears. and now it is working.  Hope this helps others.

    I've tried a variety of cables, wall adapters, plugging directly into the wall, a power-strip, and plugging into my computer via USB, and my iPhone 4 will not charge at all. I don't even get the charging symbol.

    Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
