Iphone 4 will not charge tried different cables, docks and Itunes dont recognize it

tried different cables, docks and itunes dont recognize it.  I have reset it pushing and holding both buttons several times.  If it is off and I plug it in the apple symbol pops up and it turns on.  I live almost 3 hrs from the nearest apple store and I really dont want to have to be with out my phone.  also its less than 3 months old so im thinking its not the battery needing replaced.  anyone help me out here?

Sounds like the dock port on your iPhone has a problem. It is in warranty so you will need to get it serviced.

  • My iPhone 5c will not respond to deactivation of iCloud and iTunes. It is my account on it but it doesn't take the password.

    My iPhone 5c will not deactivate iCloud or iTunes.  It is my personal account and I have the password but it keeps telling me to retry.  I've checked my passwords on other devices and they all work on those.  I've done a hard restart and have tried to restore it from my computer.  Nothing works.  Any help will be appreciated. 
    Thanks

    Could you give us more into - like, "will not back up", in what way?  Do you get an error message?  Does the device freeze up?
    Is the slow feature only when you are trying to back up, or is it always slow?

    Your phone needs repair, or you can try changing the cable you're using.

  • IPhone 3GS will not charge from USB or charger

  • My Iphone 4 will not charge after Ios7 update, does anyone know how to fix ?, My Iphone 4 will not charge after Ios7 update, does anyone know how to fix ?

    My Iphone 4 will not charge after ipdate to IOS 7.0.4, Does anyone have a solution ? I have tried apple cables and chargers. I see many have the same issue. Anyone made progress ?

    No offence, but as with quite a few others, my Iphone stopped charging on mains after iOS 7.0.4 update too.
    Not sure you can categorically advise that "it simply is not a software issue" when so many different people are having the same symptoms after updating their iOS   Just have a quick Google!
    Luckily my (original Apple) cable will still allow recharging via USB to a laptop. So, process of elimination would point to a bricked charger that was working faultlessly up until the iOS 7.0.4 update was applied. Seems quite a stretch to be a coincidence.
    Look forward to an explanation ..... and an update? ......

  • My iphone 5 will not charge

    Hi i need some help,
    My iphone 5 will not charge. I have tried 3 different cables 2 apple ones and a brand new other brand and my phone continues to show a black screen with a battery symbol with 3 small red bars. before i plug the cable in there is a plug symbol beneath the battery symbol. when i plug it in the plug symbol dissapears but the phone will not charge either via 3 different wall chargers i have used or via plugging the cable directly into usb on a computer. is it safe to say my phone is broken?

    I just had this problem on my wife's iPhone 5. She said charged for a while with the same 3 red bars... I changed another charger and waited for a while, it become normal and charging again.  Switch to other chargers, it works too.  I think it is because she drained the battery completely too long and did not plug in the connector properly...
    Good luck!

    Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
    Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
    Hope this helps,

  • HT4528 iphone 4s will not charge, help anyone?

    iphone 4s will not charge, help anyone?

    If the iPhone doesn't charge when connected to the power adaptor and when connected to your computer after trying another USB cable to rule out a problem with the cable being used, more than likely the iPhone has a hardware problem with the battery or something else.
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to confirm.

  • Iphone 4 will not charge and itunes does not recogise it at all.  When I plug it in to charge it says that it needs to be restored.

    My iphone 4 will not charge when I plug it in, it will turn on but it says that it needs to be restored and will not do anything else.  When I plug it into itunes it isn't recognized at all.  I took it into the verizon store and they were not any help at all.  My phone isn't under warranty anymore so they don't care.  Please help, I had to go back to my old phone, a droid and I hate it so much. 

    its fixed!!  After posting my problem with the FROZEN ipod classic (2007) 80 gb a screen popped up with similar subjects that I did not find in my original search.  'Rich Fleming' in the community posted a suggestion to someone with a similar frozen issue and it WORKED when I tried it. 
    hold the 'menu' and the 'circle' buttons down at the same time, KEEP the pressed until the apple appears. and now it is working.  Hope this helps others.
