IPhone 4s 30 pin connector broken

My 30 pin connector inside my 4s is chipped, it charges but the charger doesn't sit right and I'm afraid that when charging it will unhook itself or not charge altogether, I've had the phone since release, is this covered in the year guarantee? If not how much is it to fix the 30 pin connector?

Take it to Apple.
They will have to make the determination if the problem is caused by damage or not.
If they say it is damage they will chage you for the replacement.
If not, they will not.

IPhone dock 30-pin connector to line-out 3.5mm adapter/cable?

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a compact adaptor or cable to go from my iPhone 30-pin connector to a 3.5mm cable (or 3.5mm plug). Wondering if there are any recommendations, as some pre-date the iPhone and thus prompt the iPhone to switch to airport mode...
I've found:
SendStation - Products - PocketDock Line Mini Out USB (I don't need the USB part, but it's handy I guess)

There are no doubt other (maybe better?) options so look forward to any tips.
Cheers,

Did deeper research. It's apparently true that phone call audio is not and cannot be routed to the "line out" of the iPhone. I'm disappointed. It appears to be a hardware design thing, as I've found no app that would enable this, and darned if I can think of a situation that would have this capability as a downside.

Lighning to 30-Pin Connector: iPhone not charging anymore

My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector doesn't charge my iPhone anymore.
Anyone similar problem?
Can it be exchanged in the warranty time?

IPhone 4/4s 30 pin connector

The 30 pin connector on my iPhone 4 has been water damaged (phone won't accept a charge and I'm always at 3%-6%), therefore the repair is not covered under the original warranty. Can this part be repaired/replaced? I do not have AppleCare+, but I am still within my original warranty period. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

It can possibly be replaced by a 3rd party repair shop, but there may be additional hardware damage besides just the 30 pin connector.
Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price that pays for an exchange at a significantly reduced price off the full retail sales price and has no effect on the current contract with your carrier. The exchange will be the same model, storage capacity, and color, and will be under the same warranty as the iPhone being exchanged or 90 days, whichever is greater.

Adapter to charge iPhone 5 from 12 volt 30-pin connector

I have a 2005 VW that lets me play an iPod through the car stereo. That's good. However the connection is via a 30-pin connector with 12 V (Firewire I think) charging circuit. So an iPhone or newer iPod won't charge. I'd like to use it with an iPhone 5 which means I need an adapter for a Lightning connector. Does anybody know of a way to make this work? I'd like to be able to both play music from the phone and charge the phone.
In case it helps / makes a difference the interface to the radio is VW part number 1K0051444.

If the VW wiring is the old firewire implementation( and from that date it probably is ) then you will need
a 30 to 30 pin adapter to change the wiring for newer Apple devices .I used Scosche brand adapter successfully ( a premium brand )
Then to use a lightning device the Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter .( Use Apple for best chance of success, cheap knockoffs I would not recommend )
Wll it will work ,who knows but if you want this simple solution give it a try
ps I doubt there is 12 v in the ols 30 pin connector ,it will be 5v but pins do not match the later iOS devives

IPhone 5 Lightning to old 30 Pin Connector with FireWire Power implementation

I've been searching the Web and specialized Shops for a Adapter or Cable-Hack Solution.
Here the Challenge:
I am using a Car Audio Connector (Becker Indianapolis 7953 + Remote Kit for iPhone).
It's connected to my iPhone 5 using a Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter.
Connection Works great, regarding to Music and iPhone Control.
Problem is the Connector is using a old implementation which is using the FireWire Pins for charging, which obviously doesn't work with iPhone 3G and later - so iPhone doesnt Charge.
I am wondering if there is a Solution like: Cut the Cable and put it together in the right Way? Or an Lightning Adapter to old 30-Pin?
I've found a old 30-Pin FireWire implementation to 30-Pin Adapter, but I don't want to use a Adapter-Adapter-Solution. :-(
Any ideas or experiences? Thanks alot!

Hi
I have the Becker Cascade with the iphone adapter.
The only solution I could find then was with the adapter. I found some info on rebuilding the iphone adapter but in essence it does the same as the firewire to usb power adapter.(I use the Scosche adapter)
So don’t worry about the adapter adapter solution regarding the firewire problem. It works great for me.
I use the iPhone 4 dock in the creditcard compartment (Audi A4), The only problem i got was that the dock does not pass thru all 30 pins. it splits out the audio to the Stereo jack. That i solved whit replacing the 30 pin connector with an angled one.
This alone makes me think twice about changing to iPhone 5. Cant se any solution regarding the cradle. I love the hidden installation in the Creditcard compartment. Just a click and i can insert my phone.

I want to buy a dock station with speakers and radio wich can support my ipad2 (30 pin connector) and also my iphone 5 (lightning)

I want to buy a dock station with speakers and radio wich can support my ipad2 (30 pin connector) and also my iphone 5 (lightning). I would be glad to get your help.

If you get the 30 pin dock get an Apple genuine adapter the rip-offs often do not work correctly
If you buy a lightning dock a company called Sandberg makes the reverse adapter ,I have one and it works correctly
As tonefox said i got the sandberg from Amazon

I have the same problem.

I have not yet seen any official response to the question: "Is the Apple AV Composite cable fully supported with 30pin connector devices upgraded with iOS7 - specifically ? - eg. iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s"
If it is not currently supported is that then due to a bug / oversight and in that case is it something that will be fixed in the near future?
Please let us know what feedback you got from asking Apple support.

Any good chargers or dual-use cables for charging an iPhone 4S (30-pin) and iPad 4 (lightning)?

Here is the situation:
A sick friend lies in bed most of the time and has her iPhone 4S (30-pin) charging cable connector within reach. She now also has an iPad 4 (lightning connector).
We are looking for a good charging solution which doesn't require multiple chargers or getting up and replacing the cable in the adapter.
We know we can use the same adapter for the iPad 4 and iPhone 4S, but the cable/connector is different.
Is there a good single cable with both kinds of connectors on the end?
Or would a connector adapter be easiest?
Or is there some cool charging unit which can do both at the same time?
Thanks,
Doug

Your only two choices, that I can think of, is to use an adapter. I have a third party one that I got at Office Depot that has micro USB on the end, with a lightning or 30 pin that I can swap out. And there are cables that are dual ended...as in the adapter is attached and can be plugged/unplugged but are still part of the cable.
For third party I'd suggest to stick to well known names, Targus, Zagg, Kensington, Belkin etc for your shopping. THose companies have most likely, gotten permission from Apple to make accessories.
The only other option I can think of is to use a longer extension cord to put the power block near your friend's bed, which will then allow her to plug in the appropriate cable to charge the appropriate device.

My apple lightening to 30 pin connector doesn't play analog music

When I plug in my iphone 5 to the apple brand lightening adaptor to 30 pin connector music does not play through my speakers on my radio, it plays through the iphone speakers. It does charge if I have my 12V to USB charger converter in there, but with that converter in or out, still no analog music plays.
My 30 pin nano works just find through the speakers.
Please help!

A friend had the same complaint. I took my Apple adapter out of my car and put it in place of his and everything worked perfectly. I suggest he do as I did and go the Apple Store for the adapter rather then his third party one that while cheap has been proven to actually be worthless.

Are there any headphones that work from the 30 pin connector?

Iphone4 wont connect to or play through accessories dock via 30 pin connector but charges ok??

As the title states really!
I can connect and play songs via the head phone jack but not via the 30 pin connector on the bottom. For example, when fitted in a dock (I have 3 different ones to try), FM transmitter or anything else through that 30 pin connector it wont recognise the phone to play songs, but the phone will charge fine through all of these and I can plug in into my PC and access itunes.
Its not the end of the world, just frustrating as i cant use the docks for playing music, they are just really expensive chargers now!
I would be greatful for any help or ideas, i cant find anyone with the same problem.
Thanks, Emma.

I'm experiencing the same problem now. I cannot play any music through the doc connector on my iPhone 4. Music plays through the headphone jack just fine. I have the feeling that this is a software issue with the iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1.

Every single song I delete from iCloud on my Mac remains listed in the Music app on my iPhone 4S, and then becomes broken -- What the heck?

Hello,
So this is annoying me to no end because I just spent $25 to sign up for iTunes Match and so far its wasted my time and given me nothing but a massive headache. This is obviously a major bug on the SERVICE END, not mine.
Starting with an empty iTunes library on my Mac, I began ripping my CDs in iTunes Plus AAC format the other night with the intent of matching & uploading my entire music library into iCloud for streaming & downloading to my iPhone 4S on the go. Simple in theory, right? After some basic tag editing -- changing genres, a simple alteration to a title here, deleting the composer there -- and then updating iTunes Match (Store > Update iTunes Match), I notice I'm getting duplicates of a bunch of my songs appearing on my iPhone. I haven't downloaded anything to the device, they're all just listed with the cloud icon next to them.
So I'm thinking, whatever, I screwed something up. I'm only several CDs into the process so I'll just delete the iTunes library and start over again. Shift + right click, delete everything. Do you want to delete these songs from iCloud as well? Yes. Update iTunes Match. There are 0 songs in iCloud. Okay.
The songs are still showing in my iPhone Music app. Strange. Swipe to delete does nothing, they're not on the device. They're pointing to files in the cloud that are either no longer there or somewhere that I cannot access anymore. Broken aliases. The album artwork still shows up, but playing the songs just kicks me back to the album menu. Navigating to Settings > General > Usage > Music shows me there is no data on the device. 0 bytes.
One thing I notice is that sometimes after syncing a handful of these broken songs will show up in a "Purchased" playlist on my iPhone within the iTunes browser -- I haven't purchased any music from the iTunes store, not one song -- and inspecting them with right click > Get Info reveals them as Stream files, not iTunes Plus AAC files.
Turning iTunes Match off and on again both from within iTunes and on my iPhone does nothing.
Syncing wirelessly or via USB does nothing.
Backing up and restoring my iPhone does nothing.
Double clicking the Home button and quitting the Music process, then opening it again does nothing.
Hard resetting the iPhone does nothing.
This is something that's happening with my Apple ID on the service end, not locally or on the user end. As long as iTunes Match is turned on in my iPhone settings, all of this broken music -- everything I've matched to iCloud and deleted -- shows up. I've done everything within the parameters of proper usage, and iTunes tells me there is nothing in iCloud after it updates but my phone keeps seeing crap that isn't -- or shouldn't be -- there.
I WANT to use iTunes Match, I just paid 25 freaking dollars for it, but its completely busted for me right now and I know ripping and matching some more CDs is just going to make it worse and populate my iPhone with an even bigger broken library. I just ripped and matched one more CD an hour ago without editing any of the tags, just let iTunes Match do its thing, and then after right clicking and following the prompts to delete the 18 songs both from both iTunes AND iCloud its still showing up on my iPhone. Busted like all the others.
Can we please get an update on this as soon as possible? This is driving me nuts and I don't know what else to do.

It's a slightly convoluted process.
Disable iTunes Match on your iPhone
Settings > Music > Itunes Match
Now, make sure you've killed the Music app by double-tapping the home button, and deleting the app there where it is running. Important step. The app should not be active.
Next step:
Settings > General > Usage (it takes a while to load) > then delete the Music app there
Power your phone down, and back up again.
Sync your music via iTunes like you always have ...
... and this should fix your problem.

How can i use my iPad 2 as a display via the 30 pin connector ?

i want to use my ipad as a display from a range of devises like my video camer, computer and dvd player. The ipad outputs its display, so is there a way of using the 30 pin connector to input video?

Hi there,
At this time you cannot use your iPad as a display like you describe.
However, you can buy the extra Camera Connection Kit, to import video and pictures from some camera's and SD Cards.
I urge you to submit feedback to Apple:

My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.
