IPhone 3G Faulty USB Port

I have a faulty USB Port (where you plug the USB Cord into the iPhone) in my Phone. Is there anything I can do to fix it.

If it is broken and you're still under warranty, take it back to Apple for service. If no warranty search the net for iphone repair or check the iphone service faq's: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/#warranty7
If it is no physical damage, what are the symptoms?

When I plug in my iPhone to a USB port on the back of my computer I get the error "MTP USB Device driver was not successfully installed" and of course there is no device that shows up either. It would be great to download my photos! I'm using Windows

Bought iPhone 6 yesterday. Also bought dock works with iPhone 5/5s. And cord connecting iPhone 6 to USB port on car stereo. No sound comes out of dock or car stereo. In store today, iPhone 5 running ios 8 worked on dock, not iPhone 6. When Apple fix?

I bought an iPhone 6 yesterday. I also bought a stereo dock that works with iPhone 5/5s. And a cord to connect iPhone 6 to USB port on my car stereo. No sound comes out of the stereo dock or car stereo. In Best Buy today, Sales Associate tried his iPhone 5 running iOS 8 on a stereo dock. It worked, but my iPhone 6 didn't. When will Apple fix this problem? Or is Apple pushing everyone to Bluetooth?

The iPod feature that plays through USB in my car does not work with my iPhone 6 either. I called AppleCare and they said that the car audio system will need a firmware update. Don't know if Apple is just passing the buck, but that is what I was told. Thank you for posting. I know now that I am not the only one. Thanks also for posting about the iPhone 5 running iOS 8. I gave away my iPhone 5 to a friend so I wasn't sure whether this is an iOS 8 issue or an iPhone 6 issue and your experience seems to confirm that it is a problem with iPhone 6. I guess I will just be using Bluetooth in my car, at least for now.

Faulty USB port message & froozen iPod with picture of dock connector

Hello,
I've got a problem with a faulty USB port. I've been connecting my 3rd gen iPod (2003, touch wheel, dock connector) to my windows using computer for year - but today it doesn't work. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and was about to syn/upload my iTunes library to my iPod but then computer says I have a faulty USB connection. There is nothing wrong with the USB ports. The iPod shows a picture of the dock connector, and then shuts down. I've tired resetting the iPod but the same thing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a 2013 Buick Enclave with Pandora icon on the screen. I was told that to connect my iphone 5 with USB port and that worked. But as soon as I disconnected, Pandora went out on screen. Only works plugged in now. Should work without USB connected.

I have a 2013 Buick Enclave with Pandora and Stitcher on the nav screen. With my Samsung S3, Pandora automatically lit up and worked. with new iphone5, I was told I need to connect USB port to car and phone and start Pandora. That worked and the icon on screen lit up. but as soon as I removed the USB cord, Pandora and Stitcher greyed out and stopped working. I know it's supposed to work on the car's nav screen once I hardwire it (at least that's what I was told), but as soon as I disconnect, they stop working through the car. How can I install Pandora and Stitcher on my car WITHOUT having the usb cord attached? the idea is to be able to use the car's touch screen to control Pandora, but with the phone plugged into the USB port, I can only use the phone to control Pandora, which of course is dangerous when driving! And it worked correctly with the samsung, so I have to believe it can work with the iphone 5! Right? Thanks.

You cannot install the apps on the car.
The cars head unit is merely acting as an interface to the apps on the device.
If you want to use those apps in the car, plug the device in and leave it plugged in.

Faulty usb port connection hp ENVY M6-1188ca

One of my USB ports has been faulty from the beginning, I am now 8 months out of warranty, and can't find anyone in Victoria BC who can repair it. Does anyone know where I can get a bad USB port repaired on my HP ENVY that I bought in Nov 2012?

Hi @BOBVICTORIA ,
I have sent you a private message. If you are not sure how to check your private messages then this post has instructions that will guide you through the process.

Faulty USB Port (Broken but not broken..)

For sometime now, my rear USB stopped working - I THOUGHT it had malfunctioned, but I randomly tried something today and it kind of fixes it.
For the USB port to work, I have to push down on the connected device (push the USB head downwards) for it to work. Maybe something got moved around and the power isn't getting through properly.
What can I do for now (besides taking it to an Apple Genius Bar, which I won't be able to do for another couple of months)?
Thanks in Advance,

Satellite Pro C650-139 - Faulty USB ports

Bought a C650-139 about 3 weeks ago and after 5 days the USB ports started to work intermittantly and then stopped altogether.
Did a system restore and even tried booting with a linux live cd but the machine would not recognise anything plugged into either port.
Contacted the dealer and they got me a shiny new replacement but now it has gone the same way :(
I only have 2 Kingston USB memory sticks and a USB mouse that I've used in these laptops. The devices work fine in other laptops and PCs.
Windows Device manager shows the USB root hubs installed and if I uninstall them then the OS redetects and reinstalls them.
Anyone else had this problem with this model?

I don't have this notebook model but it must be really annoying when something like this happen.
I agree with Jeka. Bring notebook back to your local dealer and exchange it for other notebook model.
Series C must be new one and I think you should take new A series, for instance A660. I saw it last week and I must say it is really nice notebook.

IPhone not charging, "USB port draws too much power"

I've tried charging my iPhone with 3 different cables, 3 different socket chargers and my macbook.
Won't charge, the socket chargers turn off, the macbook displays the aforementioned error.
I haven't dropped it, soaked it in water or anything.
Unfortunately my year warranty expired last month.
Suggestions?

Welcome to the discussions,
have a look at this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286 , "Symptoms...An alert message indicates the USB device cannot operate because it needs more power than is available."
And
If the issue persists and you are using a Mac, try resetting the USB connection by following the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1317

Locating iphone connection to usb port

The cord is attached to the iphone at the bottom and the usb end goes to the computer. After that it should start the sync.

IPhone 3G won't charge from USB port

Suddenly I am getting an error sound (no message though) on my computer when I plug my iPhone into its USB port and it no longer charges the battery. I don't have iTunes on this computer (not allowed/work computer) but I have been using the USB connection to recharge my phone until yesterday when it stopped working.
Here's what I've tried:
1. Tried 2 different cables - same result, no charge and an error tone.
2. Tried connecting to a USB hub, direct to several USB ports on computer, and via a USB port on the computer's keyboard - same result, error tone and no charging.
3. Tried various combinations of two cables and two AC wall adapters, all work fine to charge my phone.
4. Tried plugging my iPod into the USB port on the computer and Windows XP immediately identified it as a iPod and started charging it.
I have not tried plugging it into my home computer where I sync it since this started happening yet.
Is there something wrong with my phone?

I've had a computer "suddenly" refuse to charge an iPhone that it had previously charged reliably.
In my case it was because Vmware was active in the background managing a background Virtual Machine, and it grabbed the USB port on behalf of that background machine, which immediately gave the proper beep sounds, but since the virtual machine had no drivers, it didn't charge. (in fact the charge indicator went backward fairly quickly).
If you have to ask what Vmware is, this is probably not your problem, but there may be similar scenarios that could cause this with background tasks, or other logged in users running things that think they "own" the usb port.

Charge Iphone using usb port vs wall plug charger

I always charge my Iphone 5 to usb port on Macbook pro and leave it 5-6 hour after fully charge. Is there any side effect if I charge my Iphone using usb port instead of wall plug charger. Is it iphone will cut off charging after fully charge?

The iPhone knows when it is charged and will stop charging. No need to worry.

Is it safe to charge an iPhone overnight using a USB port on a surge protector?

I just bought a new surge protector that has two USB ports built in. I know it is safe to charge an iPhone using the USB ports on a computer, and it is safe to charge an iPhone using the supplied power adapter. However, I have heard that the supplied power adapter (the brick) that comes with the phone automatically stops charging the iPhone when it reaches 100%. I normally leave my iPhone charging overnight. So my question is, would it be safe to charge my iPhone overnight via the built in USB port on my new surge protector? Or should i continue using the power adapter that it came with?
This is the surge protector i purchased.

Yes, it's safe. The phone is actually what stops the charging.

USB port power management issue on apple aluminium wired keyboard after upgrade to 10.8.5

Hi there,
Since I upgraded my imac (late 2012) from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 today, i can't plug any usb flash drive, or my iPhone, to the USB port of the wired keyboard anymore; I have a power management message asking to plug the usb device to the imac directly!!
It was working perfectly just before the upgrade, is it a bug, any idea?

FYI...
I tried reporting the bug but so far have had no luck being able to do so.
I went to the developer center as Eric suggested and signed in with my Apple ID.
Once there I clicked on "Bug Reporting".
That took me to a Bug Reporting page with the heading "Submitting Bugs and Feedback".
On the side of that page is a little box that says "Apple Bug Reporter: Sign in with the Apple ID you used to register as an Apple Developer to submit a bug."
(This step seems somewhat ridiculous since I had to sign in with my Apple ID just to get this far. Now it wants me to sign in again.)
When I click the the "Sign in" button I get this:
An error has occurred. Please report the error to Apple Inc. by emailing the error detail to [email protected]
So, it seems the bug reporter doesn't work. This has been going on since the time of my last post here.
