IPhone 4 not charging up - is this a common problem?

My iPhone 4 isn't charging and I wondered if it is a common problem, it's only a year old as I bought it from the Apple Store in New York. I've tried different leads incase it's a problem with that but they work on my iPad....help what do I do?

If you have not done so, try restoring the iPhone.

See Here for > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First... No Data will be Lost..
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

My iPhone is not charging in my 2009 Infinity

My iPhone is not charging when connected to my 2009 Infinity. I'm getting a " charging is not supported" message on the screen. Funny thing is that my older iPod would sync and charge when connected. Anyone know why or how I can fix this?
Thanks

To rule out a software problem, set it up as new device:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
But I think that this is a hardware issue. If this started after the battery has been replaced, bring it back to the Service Provider and let them check the phone, the replacement of a battery is also covered by a repair warranty.

Iphone 5 plugged in and charge icon appears but iphone does not charge at all.. Please help!

Iphone 5 not charging after connected via usb and charge icon appears and charge sound occurs.. Need immediate help! Thank you!

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

IPhone 5 not charging when cable is connected

I recently had my iPhone battery replaced, it was ordered directly from the iStore (I live in South Africa) and is a valid, not generic, battery.
Since the technicians replacement, the phone has been working like normal, but upon charging for the first time I noticed the battery percentage would not improve.
I'm really confused about this - and frankly, quite frustrated that when connected to any power outlet, the phone recognises that it is plugged in by displaying the lighning bolt next to the battery life bar, and makes the "charging sound". When I tried to charge it through my computers USB port, it does the same - displays the lightning bolt and makes the familiar sound. My iTunes even recognises the device and if I wanted to, I could have synched my music.
My previous issue before having my phones battery replaced was also charging related - since updating to iOS7 in September 2013, the battery life was absolutely dismal, I could take a photo on 100% battery, and it would die almost immediately afterwards. To use the phone effectively I had to keep it permanently on charge.
My main concern here is that since having the aforementioned problem fixed by buying a new battery, it will now not charge at all, unlike previously where it would actually just charge but die almost immediately. I have scoured as many forums online related to my problem, and I have tried everything I possibly can to get my phone to charge. Unfortunately in the time it has taken me to sort it out, my phone has died and now will not switch on, even while "on charge."
Coukd this be a problem with the phone itself?
Should I have this seen to? I am beginning to feel quite disillusioned with my endless phone problems.
Sidenote: My iPhone was a gift from my father who bought it in England for me while on holiday in November 2012. My sister has one too - and I have tried charging my phone with her cable - no result. I don't think the warranty will be able to help at all, I doubt my dad still has the papers.
Please can someone shed some light on what I can do, or if anyone has had similar problems?
Thanks in advance

iPhones are not user or anyone else serviceable
Apple do not repair iphones all defective units are returned for refurbishment to the manufacturing Plants and in South Africa all service and support is provided by the Apple Approved carriers
There are no "valid" batteries ,Apple does not offer battery service in SA and therefore who ever repaired the iPhone is not an authorised repairer and also Apple does NOT sell spares
Your iPhone has been tampered with by unauthorised servicers and you have therefore voided any help with your device from Apple or here ,sorry

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.
If you need help with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch accessories - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

Iphone will not charge Help

Try and reset your iphone from the settings preferences in the iphone software. Reset all settings. Heard this solves a lot of issues. If that don't work; restore.

IPhone is not charging

My iPhone is not charging. I tried restarting it, using a wall outlet, using the computer, but it still won't charge. This is not a new accessory, I've used it to charge my phone before.

Hello Figster512,
If I understand correctly your USB cable doesn't seem to charge your phone whether you are connected to a computer or the wall charger. I would use these troubleshooting steps from this article here, named:
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the battery doesn’t charge
If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

HT201401 iphone 4s not charging when power ON

iphone 4s not charging when power ON

Amish/ Selvars4, i have exactly the same issue. I'm sure its software issue as mine has done it also just last week. i had it happen previously about 3 months ago also. the phone would only charge via a USB from a pc or if the phone was turned off.The way i got it working last time i kept reloading previous version of the phone back up and finally it worked normally again. It was always visible to iTunes so not an issue. Last week though i have had exactly the same problem as Selvars and itunes cannot see it now, and not charge by any device except when turned off. I did a backup and iTunes sync about 2 days before this problem started. (now thinking back it was the same when i had the previous issues with charging) this time its invisible to iTunes, pc,won't charge anywhere except turned off. i left it plugged into pc where it wasn't visible and then about 40mins later it recognised it. so i did a factory restore and update then reloaded a back up. it now is visible to pc and charges from pc and power adaptor but won't charge from a dock. Strange and Frustrating. Suvzero

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.

My iphone will not charge

My iphone will not charge and it is not the charger. I tried plugging it into my computer and that will not work either. I spent 2 1/2 hours at the apple store tonight!! They replaced my battery and said that would fix it and I got home and plugged it in and it wouldn't charge. I restored it to factory settings and that didn't work. I only have like 10% battery left and I use this phone for work a lot. I need my phone to charge!! Please HELP!!!

The best way is to bring to an Apple retail store and have them look at it. Bring the phone and charging cable with you.
Or it could be just an old dead battery and Apple store can replace that.
However if you can get a hold of another charging cable (complete) you can try that first.
Good Luck

My iPhone 4S shut off with a 62% battery life and hasn't came back on yet. I've charged it and all it just won't come back on at all. Is this a common problem? Is this covered under my 1 year warranty?

My iPhone 4S shut off with a 62% battery life and hasn't came back on yet. I've charged it and all it just won't come back on at all. Is this a common problem? Is this covered under my 1 year warranty?

No it is not common.
Most have no issues.
Have you tried basics from the manual? Restart, reset, restore?
The warranty covers defects. If the iphone is defective, then they would replace it.

This iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised but i try again and it says already authorised

I am trying to sync my iphone 4 to my computer ( Windows 7 64 bit ) so I can update my apps. when I connect my phone to the computer, a window pos up with the following . . . . . . . . .
this iphone 'colin's iphone' could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorised for purchased items that are on this phone
to authorise this computer for items purchased from the itunes store, choose store > authorise this computer OK.
I click on Store, authorise... type in apple id... type in password... click on authorise
It then says.... this computer is already authorised.... including this one, you have authorised one computer out of your available 5.
I unplug my phone and plug it in again and it does exactly the same again???
I'm just going around in circles???

I found the solution to this problem
the apple service helped me actually
the best and the esiest way is to solve this problem :
create a new account (as an administator recomended)
Bonjour servises must be enabled ( go to control panel > administartive tools> sevices> Bounjour services (change the category to large icons if you dont see administartive tools )
install itunes
sign in
authorize
SYNC
it must sync normally
but if the meesage pops up that points on a particular items that could not be synced ( to ur itunes because you are not authorized for this items ) REMOVE THEM
creating a new user account shows the items wich dont let you sync your iPhone
after you REMOVE those **** items that were not authorised , you can go to your old user account and SYNC it as old kind time
was having this problem 2 weeks , and nothing helped except this was. not deleting the SC Info folder, now copying apple folder to some other mobile divce folder
REMEMBER the problem is in your iPhone , it is about the items that are in your iPhone
Thanks to Apple service
for anyone who needs othe heple you r welcome to ask
will hepl you with a pleassure cause i know how I felt this days:)

The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer...

This is not about wanting to manage music, etc. It's about my work. I have an app in development and need to load the latest IPA for testing, a process performed through iTunes, like syncing anything else. When I try and sync I get the message, "The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone.
I did the research on the internet and haven't found an adequate answer. I've tried:
— Being sure I'm logged into the same iTunes account as the iPhone.
— Deauthorizing then Authorizing the computer, after which I get an alert saying the computer has been successfully authorized, resulting in the same error message again when I again try and sync.
— Removing the SC Info folder, as found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 . I guess I have the only Mac that has no trace af any such "SC Info" folder anywhere in the system (OS 10.6.8).
— Logged in under every conceivable account configuration (computer admin, device account, etc...) to no avail.
I have to get this IPA imported into the iPhone. It's the same process as syncing anything else. If anyone has a solution, please send it along. Clock is loudly ticking.
Many thanks.
Cayce
