I put accidently my iphone cable in water, should i continue to charge my iphone with that cable or not?
help
You ask for advise. When the advise is given, you totally ignore the advise and do as you please. You were told you need to buy a new cable so you don't damage your device. Now you complain that you need to buy a new cable...however you now state that the cable you dropped in water is just fine.
What was the point in asking for the advise in the first place?

i updated my iphone to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!
I upgraded my iPhone 4 last evening to iOS 6, the upgrade completed and the device was usable. Then in the morning I went to the device to check E-mail, Voice Messages, Test Messages, etc... and the phone was dead. I tried plugging the device into a charger (for a couple of hours) - still dead. Plugged into computer with iTunes, device not recognized or discovered, and iPhone was still dead... Took the iPhone into an Apple Store and the Technician looked it over for any visible signs of defect/malfunction, then performed various tasks to breathe life into the phone - nothing... His suggestion, at this point, was to replace the phone. He speculated that the iOS upgrade possibly corrupted the iPhone's charging firmware, and that this device was now a BRICK. Keep in mind that the phone and it's charging abilities were perfectly fine prior to the iOS Upgrade. I hate to go through the replacement hassle and the cost ($159.00) when the iOS upgrade caused the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan
You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source. -
I can't restore factory setting on my old iPhone 4 and i dont know why? I have a iPhone 6 attached to my iTunes - is it something to do with that? I would like to pass my iPhone on to a family member but would prefer if it was wiped before - thank you for your help
What happens when you try to reset it? Have you gone to Settings/General/Reset on the phone and tapped Erase all content and settings?
-
It should work longer, but it's worse. My battery does not hold a full day without much use.
When the new version of ISO6 will come ??? A lot of apps don't work correctly too.... :-(
I'm a little bit disappointed...Sounds like your iPhone is locked to your home carrier.
See if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. Otherwise,
there is nothing you can do besides rent/but a cheap
phone for your month in Argentina. -
Charge my phone with USB cable
Hi DearsI have a Z3-compact phone. When I connect it to my copmuter with usb cable, it does not charge.Please help me, how can I solve this problem????
Hi Z3-sam,
Welcome to the community.
One thing to note, if you are using the device on say a work computer, there may be security restrictions that wont allow MTP mode to charge the handset.
You could try changing the device in to MSC mode and then seeing if the charge works.
Menu > Settings > Xperia Connectivity > USB Connectivity > USB Mode > MSC

How Can i Charge 5130 XM with USB cable
Dear all
i want to ask that how can i Charge m 5130 XM with supplied USB cable is it posible ?
Knowledge sharing is better to earn
IF YOU FIND POSTS HELPFUL CLICK THE BIG ORANGE KUDOS BUTTONYou could use a CA-100 adapter. It has a USB type-A plug on one end and a 2mm charger port plug on the other. The downside is that you need 2 USB ports available if you want to transfer data and charge the phone at the same time: one for the CA-100 and one for the provided CA-101 data cable.
Alterntatively you could use a CA-126 charging/data cable, which is like a CA-100 and CA-101 in one cable. Type-A USB plug on one end and both a 2mm charging port connector and a microUSB plug on the other.

HT1476 How long should it take to charge an iphone 5s?
My new iphone 5s has been on charge for 5 hours and it is not half charged yet. How long should it take to charge?
That's not really true. Open apps, except for the one you are actively using, use no power. They are in a suspended state. And killing apps in the Quick Launch screen does not necessarily stop ones with background processes from using power.
What you should be using the Quick Launch screen for is to switch quickly between applications without having to go back to the Home screen and navigating to the app you want every time. -
Please somebody help me !!!! I just got back from Paris and Israel and this update got my iphone 5 in recovery mode. I can't loose all my pics and videos from my vacations ??????????????????????????????????
NOO it's not broken it is a software error. What you need to do is put your phone into what is called DFU mode or Device Firmware Upgrade Mode. What you have to do is connect your phone to itunes but do not start the sync process. Ignore any popups from itunes initially. When you are connected to itunes take your phone and hold down the home button and power button at the same time. Hold them down for about 30 seconds or so and you should see your device screen rollover to the black screen and disconnect from itunes once this happens it will reboot and automatically connect to iTunes, after this happens start the restore process through itunes and it should continue past the error message.
* Also before you do this try ejecting your sim card if you have the at&t model if you are on Verizon ignore this. There is a small oval port on the right side of the phone with a small pinhole. Use a paperclip and insert it into the hole, the door will pop open. Take the door out, remove the sim card and wait 5 minutes then return the sim card back into the phone and begin the above process.
If none of this works you may just want to bring it the genius bar and have them look at it. Good Luck and I hope this helps! -
My daughters got Iphones a couple of years. I do not have an Apple-phone. I registered both phones on my email. The problem is that one of them get the others messages. I therefore need to make two different accounts for their apple-products. How do I do that?
On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so. -
My iPhone 4S screen is black, only siri works. What's with that? What can I do?
Hey,
I have an iphone 4S. Like a billion years ago the power button stopped working.
Havent had problems with it until now, where it suddenly went black while I was using it. Siri still works when I hold down the home button but listening to siri's voice is just not enough for me.
Apparently holding the power and home buttons at the same time for 30 seconds an unresponsive iphone back on, but I can't do that with my power button being broken.
What should I do? I really would like to avoid going to the apple store.I've had success getting home buttons to work again by using compressed air and blowing around the button loosening up the lint that was keeping it from working. I've never done it with the power button but its worth a try. lint has a way of getting behind the button and interfering with the switch. other than that you would have to replace the button. I actually have my phone open a the moment and the power switch replacement looks like an easy job to me. you can get these kinds of parts on ebay and ifixit.com. If you have a techie in the family they could fix it for you. Otherwise its off to the apple store for a replacement.

IPad's charging/syncing ICON with new cable.
I just bought a replacement charging/sync cable for my iPad. Now the symbol quickly goes from the lightning ICON to the plug ICON. When I plug it into my iMac, the iPad doesn't read "Not Charging" anymore but again goes from the lightning ICON to the plug ICON. What is the difference between the (previously steady) lightning ICON and the plug ICON? Is my iMac now charging the iPad due to a higher quality cable? Did Apple change the ICONs? I don't remember what the ICON was when it was syncing.
Michael-
Your new cable works like mine now. I think the lightning symbol only appears when it is charging.
The USB port on your Mac can charge the iPad, but very slowly, and then mainly when the iPad is asleep. When awake, the iPad consumes about as much current as the Mac can supply.
