Iphone 4 will only charge from computer and wall socket?

Im having trouble with my iphone 4 not charging/syncing with anything other than my computer by usb or the wall socket charger. It used to sync with no problems before using my cars usb and on my hifi dock (onkyo), but no more! Im sure this is since the last update. Ive tried reseting and restore, but doesnt seem to make a difference. Can anyone help? Its really starting to annoy me now!

This is really upsetting me as I have spent a fortune on Apple products over the years and the accessories that are "made for ipod and iphone" over the years and now those are useless with the device I use the most. If this doesnt get sorted, I'll be going to another brand.
That is just illogical and unintelligent. Stop whining. And while you're at it... leave. No one here cares about which product you go with.

An update for what? Your logic processor? Not gonna happen. Only YOU can update that.
Clean the dock connector on the device, it is likely dirty or full of lint.

TS2771 My iPod touch will only charge through computer, new wall charger will not charge it, but charges other iPods

My sons iPod touch will only charge with computer. This has happened since update. Wall charger charges other iPods/iPhone. Restored to original defaults. And still does not work.

I believe it started with the update prior to 5.1.1. I just udated it to the 5.1.1, thinking it would resolve the problem.

IPod classic will only charge from my computer

I have an iPod Classic 80gb and it won't charge from my wall charger or my car charger it will only charge from my iMac and MacBook Pro what can I do to fix this.

If it charges from your computer, then there is nothing wrong with your iPod charging. The problem then goes to your charger.
just in case, try a 12w charger or use a different charger.

My Ipad will not charge and Ihave booted it and still no chargeing tryed computer and wall plug

my Ipad will not charge and Ihave booted it and still no chargeing tryed computer and wall plug

The best way to charge an iPad is to use the charger that came with it connected to a known good wall outlet. The following might be the problem.
No power in the outlet.
Bad charger unit. Try a different charger.
Bad cable. Try a know good cable.
Dirt in the connector on the iPad. Check and clean.
A fault in the charging software. Reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
A hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

IPhone will not charge from wall socket only from Laptop or Computer!

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
My IPhone will charge sometimes and sometime it wont:
I mean like sometimes it will charge from the wall socket and sometimes it wont!
It will go so far as to turn off because of no battery life! Then I plug it in to the Laptop and it starts charging!

I have had this problem for some time. It applies to both a wall charger (the one that came with iPhone and a third-party model) and a car charger (third party). Both wall and car chargers are rated at 1000 ma which should be enough power. Yet when the battery charge goes below a certain level the phone will not charge from wall or car charger, but it will charge from a computer.
I did some research on USB power. Per specification, a USB client (the iPhone) cannot draw more than 100 ma from the USB host (charger or computer or hub) unless it asks for and gets permission to draw more current. (This is so it does not interfere with other USB devices connected to the host.)
Inexpensive wall chargers do not contain any computing elements. They short the D+ and D- lines together. This makes it impossible for a client to negotiate a higher current draw, so the iPhone, working per the USB standard, limits itself to 100 ma. When connected to a computing device such as a computer or USB hub, the iPhone can negotiate a higher current, up to the 500 ma currently allowed by the USB standard.
This begs the question, why can't the iPhone charge on 100 ma when the battery is almost completely discharged? After all, when the battery has more charge, the iPhone will charge nicely from a wall charger. Perhaps someone has some insight into this aspect.
There is evidently a new USB standard for wall chargers that will fix this issue. Both the host and client must implement in order for it to work. (I haven't read the standard, but suspect it involves the client detecting that the D+ and D- lines are shorted together.) Obviously, either the charger or my iPhone 3G don't comply with this new standard. Maybe the iPhone 3GS does? Or maybe we have to wait for another iPhone model that has the hardware that complies with the new USB wall charger standard.
Meanwhile I have to be careful not to fully discharge my iPhone battery when I am away from a computer. I recently went on a 30-day trip and had no problem because I charged the phone every night. Of course, I did not use it much because it was an international trip and AT&T roaming rates are horribly expensive.

IPHONE 4S WILL ONLY CHARGE ON COMPUTER

Suddenly last week my iphone 4S would not charge on my car charger or any wall charger. Well..actually if you plugged it in, the charging icon would not come on but it would charge to about 20% if you left it plugged in all night. This was on several different chargers. My other iphones charged on the same chargers just fine. I discovered by accident that it charges normally when plugged into the computer. I have tried with different charger cords and it is the same with all of them. My other phones all work fine so it is not the chargers. I have seen other posts that mention something about an update. Any help would be appreciated.

My problem is very similar. My 4s will charge on my computer but not on my wall charger or car charger. I have tried different charges and cables and the phone does not light up and say it is charging unless I plug it into my computer.
My iPad will still charge from my wall units. I feel sorry for people having this problem, because others think it is the cord or charger. Any help would be appreciated. Hope someone figures it out.

4gen iTouch will only charge on computer

I have a 4th generation iTouch with 5.1 software, and it will only charged when hooked up to my Window 7 laptop. It will not charge with any usb charger, and I have tried several, including, the chargers from my iPod 2, and my iPhone 4s, and neither of those chargers will charge the iTouch. It will also not charge with any car charger. When I first got the iTouch it would charge with the usb/car charger. Any suggestion how I can correct this? I would like other options than charging with my laptop.
Thanks

My Iphone will only charge when it is off???

I just got my iphone 4 about around june of this year and ever since two or three days ago I plugged my phone in because it was dead and it would not charge but when i got it home to charge it it charged all the way and not today its doing the same thing it will only charge when it is off and then as soon as the cord powers it back on it will stop charging and say 10 pecent batt left... I bought a new cord and it still does not charge my phone idk what to do this is really annoying i also tried my charger in another iphone 4 and it charged that phone so its not the cable it has to be the phone but the phone is brand new and never has been damaged i am going to verizon to hopefully get a new phone but in the mean time looking for any suggestions or tips or maybe somene is having the same problem too

Also when i have the charger plugged in after the phone dies it will show the charging batt symbol but as soon as it powers back on it says 10% battery life again and then when i power it off WITH THE CHARGER STILL CONNECTED the phone will not show the charging battery symbol again whihc means i have to take the charger out and put it back on and it dose it all over again charges with off but as soon as it powers on automatically it stops charging

IPhone will not wake from sleep and locks up with new MMS update

Hey everyone,
Has anyone had these problems with their new update as well?
1) Sometimes my iPhone will not wake from sleep mode, I have to hold down both buttons for it to restart...I do this about 5 times a day!
2) I cannot send SMS messages and when I send more than one sometimes the iPhone locks up and will not unfreeze.
Does anyone know if this is an Apple update issue or if it is an AT&T issue? And if this is being addressed?
Apple, if you read this could there be an update to all members what is going on?

I am experiencing the same issue with iPhone 3GS. After yesterday update to 3.1.2, it is a bit better in the sense that I can restart the iPhone slightly faster but still getting frozen screen during a call. I will try to call support once more. I don't believe that the problem is solved in the new update.

Phone won't charge from standalone chargers, will only charge from a computer.

This is a bit strange. My iPhone 4 (at&t) won't accept a change from any of my chargers (the one that came with it, the iPad charger, third-party chargers), it will only accept a charge from a computer. The same chargers work OK for other devices (iPhone 3G, iPod, iPad). This happened both in 4.x and 5 (I just upgraded, hoping to fix it).

Clean the iPhone Dock Port with a clean dry toothbrush. See if this helps. If not, clean again with the toothbrush and a small amount of Isopropyll Alcohol, clean especially the Pins which are on top of the Dock Mid Rib.

4th Gen. ipod. No longer charges from wall socket. Still can charge from computer. Wall power adapter and cord both work fine on other devices. Wall Why?

4th Generation ipod. Used to charge fine from wall socket (cord and USB adapter) and could also charge on the computer. Suddenly stopped charging from the wall. The same cord and adapter still work for my iphone, so there is not problem with either of them. What has changed? Why won't the ipod charge from the wall anymore? Is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks! It didn't actually work with the one I was using to charge the computer either. We had tried the computer cable with the power adapter, and it didn't work to charge the ipod, though it does charge my iphone. Following your idea further, I waited for my husband to get home from a trip and tried one of his extra cables he keeps in his backpack. That cable worked in with the USB power adaptor. I had thought that because the cable I use on my computer charges my iphone through the USB power adapter or the computer, and that it charged the ipod through the computer that it was fully functional. Apparantly not. Thanks again.

3G iPhone will only charge by USB connection.

Hi All
First post so don't give me a hard time.
Kinda advanced user and MD of Technology company. We install iPorts in peoples homes (www.iportmusic.com).
Anyway, all iPod's, iPod Touch's, old iPhones charge from these but the new 3G does not. This is also the case with other docks and car charging kits. is it just my phone or has anyone else come across the same problem.
Any input would be appreciated.
all the best
Scott

Apple has been gradually removing Firewire support for iPods for some time and now with the iPhone. Originally iPods synced and charged via Firewire only. Apple switched to USB for syncing but continued to support charging via Firewire with iPods and the same applied to the first generation iPhone. Apple removed support for charging via Firewire with the iPhone 3G and the same will apply to future iPod models. The firewire pins were removed from the dock connector port.
You need to change your connection or iPorts to support charging via USB if you want it to be compatible with the iPhone 3G and with future iPhone and iPod models.

Printer will only print from computer won't copy from printer

My printer will only print items that i send to it from y email. when i walk out to the printer and try to make copies the pages all come out blank no matter if i use the document feeder or place them on the glass directly. i have turned it off and back on but the problem was not corrected.

Hi @sandylouise,
Welcome back to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to make copies from the front panel of your HP Photosmart. I would like you to go ahead and perform a Hard Reset:
1. Unplug all cables and memory cards from the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer while the printer is still turned on.
2. Unplug the other end of the cord from the power source.
3. If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
4. After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time).
5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
6. The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn't, turn it on with the power button.
7. Try making a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in-on printer) before connecting any other cables to the printer.
8. Connect any other needed cables to the printer.
If after the Hard Reset you are still unable to make copies, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 as it may be the hardware. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
