IPhone 3G will no longer charge in car.

I have a Blitzsafe iPhone/iPod interface in my car. I don't drive the car very often (2005 Saleen) but it has always been able to charge in the past, both with my original iPhone and my 3G. Yesterday I took the car out, plugged in the connector and the phone popped up and said that it will not charge with this accessory and asked if I wanted to go into airplane mode (which it has always asked).
Now, I have to unplug the iPhone from the stereo in order to charge it (assuming my InCharge Auto charger from XtremeMac will still charge).
Anyone know why Apple has disabled charging, and if they might re-enable it?

I've had this problem too.
I've always travelled overseas with my Altec Lancing ipod dock which I also use to charge my iPhone. I went on holiday last week, plugged in the iPhone to charge after day 1, and to my horror got that message 'Not compatible with Charging'!!! I had to go the whole week without a phone, maps or email.
Very inconvenient.
I was convinced this had been a 2.1 update change which I was furious about, but now you mention it, I might have only ever charged my original iPhone and not my 3G.
I've just tested them both now back in the UK and indeed the old one charges but the 3G does not.
Still pretty annoyed Apple didn't highlight this, as it must be a inconvenience for millions who now have to pack 2 chargers when previously they only packed one...?

  • HT1476 my iPhone 4 will no longer charge. It is also not recognised in iTunes. There seems to be a problem with the connector slot. I've tried other cables and other computers/plugs but the connection is not being made. Any suggestions?

    It seems to me that the connection port is faulty.

    Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Iphone 5 will no longer charge after 7.1.2 update

    I updated my Iphone 5 to the latest software 7.1.2 a couple days ago and now it will no longer charge. I purchased a new cable thinking that was the case but it is still not taking a charge from my car, wall outlet, or computer.
    Apple Support told me it is the port, a $279 fix without warrenty or Apple Care. I have done nothing to the phone to cause this to stop working.  Now my phone is dead with no forseen reason other than the update causing something to go wrong.
    There must be some sort of issue as this is not the first post I've seen ragarding this.  I would appreciate not having to fork over a massive sum of money due to what I thought was a routine software update.
    Thanks

    I find it extremely hard to believe that a software update has caused your port to bad. This sounds more like port just gave up at the same time as the update.

  • My iPhone 4 will no longer charge

    After using an off brand car charger, my iPhone 4 won't charge on any other charger. Anyone have any thoughts?

    Have you tried turning it completely off and on again? Try turning it off and on again. Try different chargers and wall outlets. Also, try hooking it up to your computer and see if that helps.
    If all else fails try holding down the power button and home button until you see the Apple logo (this can take up to 30 seconds). If even that doesn't work I would suggest taking it in to an Apple store.

  • From today both my iPad and iPhone will no longer charge

    It's the weirdest thing. My Iphone & Ipad will no longer charge. They both worked/ charged fine yesterday.
    I have tried various other chargers for my iPhone as we have other Apple equipment at our house & they all charge fine.
    The lightning bolt is not appearing when charging & nor do either of them beep when charging. My iPad is not even 6mths old!
    And isnt it weird that its both? Is that a hardware or iCloud problem
    Please can someone help.

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Do same for iPhone.

  • Ipod will no longer charge on docking station or car dock

    My ipod will no longer charge while it is playing on my docking station or on the car dock. The only way I can charge now is with the genuine charger which means I can only listen for a couple of hours and then have to charge up again. Any ideas?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 3Gs no longer charges in car after updating to iOS 5

    I got a weird problem after updating to iOS 5. In addition to the battery drain, my 3GS will no longer charge via a 12 volt car adaptor. I know the cable and the adaptor work because my son's iPod and wife's iPhone 3G both charge from them. The cable also has no problems charging my phone when it's plugged into the computer or a wall socket.
    The battery drain is a bummer, but combined with no longer being able to charge in the car makes this a killer combination.
    Any help with this would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    John

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem then the iOS broke full compatibility. you have to then wait for either Apple to fix the problem in an iOS update or for Honda to fix it via a firmware update/
    Have you contacted Honda?

  • My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to Fitbit Flex or wireless headset

    My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to my Fitbit Flex aftering updating to ios 7.  Apple phone support had me completely erase and set my phone up again as new to restart bluetooth pairing, then restore again through iCloud.  Worked last night but same problem today.  It also will no longer connect to my wireless headset in my car.  Of course I'm now 5 days over my 1 year warranty as well.  Any ideas?

    Delete the pairing from both devices then pair them again.

  • My iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. HELP!

    My 4th generation iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. I tried buying a new cable and USB charging socket (and I bought one made by Apple), but that did not fix the problem. I restored it from iTunes, hoping that would work as well, but that failed. I am at my wit's end. Can anybody here help me? I've bought new equipment, tried rebooting, restoring, etc. but nothing so far has proven successful. If anyone's got a solution, please help!
    Thanks!

    All I can suggest is the standared fixes. It seems very strange
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Bring the cable and Apple wall charger too.

  • HT4623 since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync?

    since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync with itunes. can anyone suggest anything?

    Does iTunes not recognize the phone, or does it recognize it but not sync? If it is the former see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
    If it is the latter you may have some settings wrong. Tell us what you have tried.

  • HT1296 Events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer sync to my Outlook 2010 calendar - what's up?

    Some change in iOS I suppose makes it so events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer populate my Outlook 2010 calendar when I sync the devices through iTunes.  It used to be that events entered in each place would populate the other locationg when synced.  No longer!
    There are two calendars in iPhone now and I don't know why. 
    Can anyone help me find out what's going on?

    Ok! So I just came across this randomly in another thread from user Kempas (thanks a lot!). It totally fixed the problem so I thought I'd repost it!

    Ok, I'm assuming everyone who is having trouble with Windows 7 (64-bit? mine is) has tried the following solution I found over at en.kioskea.net posted by a guy called Steve78545 (hey, you got to give a dude his due).
    It's maybe because Windows 7 uses a MTP driver instead of the USBAAPL by default, and what you need is an 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' which you might not have in 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' (check it and see). If you haven't got it, as good ol' Steve78545 suggested:
    Update the driver by expanding 'Portable Devices' from the list, right click Apple iPhone/iPhone and select 'Update Driver Software'. Then select 'Browse My computer...'
    Copy the following path and paste it in - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - then hit 'Next'.
    Let the thing do it's...thing an it should work. At least it did for me, so I hope it helps a few people out!

  • IPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I download iOS 8.1.2

    iPhone 5s will no longer sync to iTunes now that I downloaded iOS 8.1.2 I get the message that it "failed to sync because the sync failed to start." Doesn't work with cable or over WiFi. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

    Before connecting your device to iTunes to sync, double-click the Home button, and close all open apps by sliding up on the thumbnails until all open apps are closed. Then try the sync again.
