I cleaned out my charging port but i cant get it to charge

i had to wrap a chord around my phone to make it charge, but that stopped working. then i cleaned out my charging port and now i cant get any chargers to work. what do i do?

I've been on ifixit looking at all the problems with the iphone 5, this seems to be a very common problem with them.  I always loved my apple products, but since looking on ifixit I can't say I will be going back with another iphone.  When I spend $350. on something I expect it to last longer than 1 1/2 years.   I've had problems with my screen splitting when i send text messages, but its usually when I've been using it alot and you could feel the heat coming from the phone so it's apparently over heating.

  • HT1476 My Ipod Touch 5 is not charging.  Checked the cord and cleaned out the charging port.  Any ideas on what is wrong?

    My iPod touch (5th generation) is not charging.  I have checked the cord and cleaned out the charging port and it still won't charge.  Any ideas or suggestions?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use. I do ot know what youmeant by "have checked the cord ")
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different plug sockets, different plugs/cables, help

    Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box that came with it but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different mains plug sockets around the house with no joy, I have tried different USB mains plugs but again no joy, I tried using my new iPad cable into the USB port of my MacBook Pro laptop but still no joy, then, I tried using my old iPod classic cable into my MacBook Pro and that worked, so I have a way of charging my new iPad3 but its not practical as i have to take my MacBook Pro everywhere if I want to charge it which kind of defeats the object of having an iPad, has anybody experienced anything similar and how was it fixed? can anybody help me please...

    Grumpy Gator,
    Please note it did say at the store's discretion, but people have actually been able to return it to the on-line store. (I only saw a couple who tried.)
    And given the outcry, I would think Apple might have other Apple stores join in. Just in case, though, if you can, you might bring it in today.
    If it's an ARS, my guess is they can stick to their 14 day return. Apple cannot force them to do it. SO if it's not bought directly from Apple, and it's past the 14 day deal, I'd bring it in to the store today if you have one. When I gave people the cnet.com site, I gave it so people could read it and know only Apple had made the decision for Apple. And I suggested to some that an Apple reseller would probably stick with their own return policy.
    Because Arnie had just bought his, he should be able to return it to Apple or an ARS because an ARS has to have some kind of full refund or at least return for credit within 7 or 14 days of purchase.
    Hope this helps.

    just started a new apple tv and also started using an iMac . I have itunes on the iMac but i cant get the apple tv to sync or find any settings to do so ! How can I get the iMac and apple tv to sync the itunes ? i have a internet connection between them , I have signed in to the itunes store on the apple tv and it shows that the apple tv is sharing my library from the IMac , but it wont sync and the apple tv has no content !

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV (with the exception of the Apple TV 1) does not sync, it streams everything from your library on your computer or from the internet.

    Hi beckiewinter!
    I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:

  • I can Connect my iPhone to Time Capsule network, but I Cant get internett on it??

    I can Connect my iPhone to Time Capsule network, but I Cant get internett on it??

    Download 5.6 utility for Lion.. inbuilt version is hopeless.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Set TC and wireless names to short, no spaces, no special characters.. ie pure alphanumeric.
    Lock the wireless to fixed channels.. only 2.4ghz matters.. as iphone cannot connect to 5ghz.
    Try 6, 11 first then 1. I think bluetooth may be set to use lower channels.
    That seems to have fixed it for most people.

  • Infinity Box in my home, But I cant get it?

    I have just moved into a new property and it already has an infinity Box installed in the house.
    So I rang you to apply for infinity but was advised that I cant get it in this property.
    Apparantly it doesnt run to the exchange im connected to, now have I missed something here.
    How can the previous occupants of the property of had it but I cant get it.

    Yeah, plenty of engineers use them when repairing regular broadband lines since it isolates any extension wiring from the broadband signal. They aren't really supposed to since there is another version which has been available for years already, but in reality they do the same thing so there's no harm. Just makes it confusing for customers when they move house as you've found.
