Iphone 3gs not charging through computer

my iphone 3gs is no longer charging when i plug it in to my computer. It makes the sound to say that it is plugged in but dose not charge. Instead it's battery drops. This has only started happening since i updated it to iso 6. it is not jailbroken.
Please help a.s.a.p
Thanks all
Matt

I do have this experience of electric shocks few days ago. My phone was not dropped before. While it is still charging using the USB cable through my notebook, i picked it up and touches the volumn button, i got a shock. Not sure whats wrong too.
Do you still get a shock if it is charging from the laptop when the laptop is not connect to power?

  • HT1459 not charging through computer or wall adapter

    my brand new ipod touch won't charge through computer or wall adapter please help?????

    When I connect my new 80G iPod to my computer, it
    syncs, but it doesn't seem to be charging. The icon
    is a steady green with a picture of a plug, but when
    unplugged the battery is near empty. Shouldn't the
    icon flash and show a lightening bolt when charging?
    That's what it does when I charge from the wall.
    Why isn't my charging through the computer?
    Thanks.

    I figured it out. I had the iPod plugged into a USB hub, but since it's an unpowered hub, the iPod won'charge through it. When I go directly to the computer, all is well.

  • IPhone 3GS Not Charging Battery, Says It Is

    Today I noticed that my iPhone 3GS will not charge the battery. Everything about the phone works perfectly. It syncs with my computer, but it will not charge either through my PC or a wall adapter, all using independent cables. Everything has been working just fine until I guess it decided to not charge anymore.
    When I connect, it makes the chirp and displays the charging icon. But the battery just goes down.
    I've tried turning it off, resetting it, and restoring the phone. Nothing is helping. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it because taking it to an Apple store isn't an option (I'm in Arkansas) and sending it off will have me without a phone for too long.

    I have tried that, yes.
    I called AppleCare yesterday. I'm still in a one-year warranty, but they were incredibly unhelpful to the point that I am very frustrated with Apple right now. Because my phone is doing everything else fine and hasn't "failed" on me, the guy would not believe me. He says that since it's chirping and showing the charging symbol, that it is charging.
    My phone finally died yesterday and just sat on the screen saying it needed to be plugged in. I get up this morning and somehow it's letting it turn on for a bit, but it's at 5% and going down fast.
    My options were to send my phone off for them to look at, or they can cross-ship me a phone but oh, they'll charge me $500 to keep the cross-shipped phone if they determine my current one is fine. That's not a gamble I can take when the guy on the phone can't seem to understand that my battery isn't charging.
    I'm so incredibly frustrated with Apple right now.

  • IPhone 3gs not charging

    My iPhone 3gs is not charging.  I'm assuming it has to do with the battery.  It was'nt lasting long when charged for awhile and now it wont charge.  Can this be fixed/replaced or do I need a new phone?

    Thanks.  Do you know how much it costs and if one needs to go into an apple store to do this?

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not charge at all?

    my iphone 3gs which was bought online from ebay, does not charge at all. i used to be able to charge it by turning the phone offg and then wrapping a rubber band around the cable and phone. this doesnt work anymore, and it doesn't charge at all

    Sounds like you purchased a phone that as physically broken.
    If the phone wasn't tampered with by you or a previous owner, you may be able to get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149. Make an appointment at the genius bar and find out.

  • My iPhone 3gs was charged completely and just randomly turned off today.  The screen is blank and the phone does not respond to a charger or the computer.  Is it broken or fixable?

  • IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer

    My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
    -error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
    -would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
    -person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
    -when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
    -cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
    -when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
    At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
    Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?

    Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
    And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
    I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
    But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say.

  • HT201263 plz help me iphone 3gs not open

    plz help me iphone 3gs not open

    Hello gurpreet17,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.
    I recommend following steps 2-6 for an issue like the one you described:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

    My Iphone 3gs wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton.  How can I make my Iphone work????  I know it is not dead because I can see the apple logo on, and every time I connect it to a USB port to charge, or a wall charger, the battery appears with a bit of red. Still, it wont turn on.  It's been like this for three days now and I haven't stopped charging it.  IT just WONT charge?  Any tips I can use to solve the issue?

    Hello estebie67,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • HT1329 i have a ipod nano 3rd generation and my iphone 3gs on the same computer if i move my ipod nano to my laptop and i move all my music to from my iphone to my ipod nano

    i have a ipod nano and a iphone 3gs on the same computer. Can i put my ipod nano on my laptop and put my iphone songs on my ipod nano?

    You can put the songs that on your iPhone onto your Nano as long as these songs are located in the iTunes library on the laptop.  If they are not you will not be able to sync them to the Nano and you will not be able to copy them directly from the iPhone to the Nano.

  • Iphone 6 not charging in car

    My iPhone 6 stopped charging in the car. It used to work but with iOS 8.1 - or so - it just stopped. The cable is fine because when I plug in to any USB charger in the house it works. But Inside the car the iPhone says "Accessory not supported". So it detects it but refuse to charges.
    Anyone seen this behaviour? Any fix?
    Much appreciated

    Hello ezimme,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPhone is not charging in your vehicle any longer and you have already ruled out the cable by testing it in other areas. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the different steps outlined in the attached article such as restarting your iPhone, isolating by trying a different iPhone in the car, and possibly restoring your iPhone.

  • HT1476 my iphone will not charge the usb that comes with the iphone is being used and it recognizes it but it wont charge

    my iphone is not charging i have restored it twice now and it still wont charge on the charger that i got with the phone. it sees that the phone is there  and i can do stuff in itunes but it wont charge PLEASE HELP

    If your iPhone won't charge with the power adaptor or when connected to your computer, do you have access to another USB dock connector cable to rule out a problem with the existing cable you are using?

  • Iphone 3gs not abe to restored ...error unknown error occurred (2003)

    iphone 3gs not abe to restored ...error unknown error occurred (2003)

    Hey caprameg,
    If you are having issues restoring your iPhone, take a look at the resource below for some initial troubleshooting steps.
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-lb/HT201210
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-lb/TS3694
    To narrow down the issue, you can try different equipment:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable. 
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    Solve other issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    I hope this information helps ....
