Iphone 4s, 6.1.2. is not charging, though synching via usb

Hey pros,
please help.
My 4s is just randomly charging when I connect it to my Macbook Air. Un- and replugging it doesn´t help. Sometimes it doesn´t charge, sometimes it does. I couldn´t find out why.
The strange thing is, that it is recogniced by Itunes and its even synching but NOT charging.
And this is only since I upgraded to 6.1.2 (from 6.1). I had no problems before (so its not the cable!)
I tried restore already, I tried reset wifi settings (I read, that could help), I tried different plug ins.
Pleas help, don´t know what to do!
Thank you so much,
Feivl

there is a KNOWN bug with the iOS 6 firmwares ever since Apple rolled it out where the iPhone will think it's docked therefore preventing any sound unless you plug in headphones/etc/clean out the docking port/etc
the simplest way to see if your iphone thinks it is docked is if you actually.. DOCK IT to your pc aka connect it
once you plug it in/dock it, sound returns as normal..
the problem with 6.1.2 is that this does not even work. no sound returns whatsoever even while docked
i actually managed to "fix" my problem last night by.. blowing into the docking port. Yes, I blew into it almost pretty much blew my lungs out and somehow my iphone is "fixed"
i have no doubts the problem will reappear though so I hope Apple gets around to fixing it
THERE IS A KNOWN WAY TO FIX THE NO-SOUND PROBLEM FOREVER BUT IT INVOLVES JAILBREAKING. There is no way I'm about to jailbreak my iphone so I pray and hope Apple Engineers are not blindly prideful enough to ignore the 100% guaranteed way to fix this no sound problem
there is a file that needs to be deleted and the no-sound problem will never again return

My ipod touch will not charge or connect via usb

When i plug in my ipod touch, it only recognizes that it is plugged in for a few seconds at a time. Therefore, it will not charge, and this occurs no matter what cable i use with it, whether i plug it into my computer, or into the wall with an adapter. I also cannot use itunes with it because of this. I have already looked through the forums for other people having the same problem, but most of them just got useless answers such as checking the troubleshooting guide. I would prefer a "REAL" answer to this. To be completely honest, all that the troubleshooting guide tells you is how to do an idiot-check on yourself. I have only had the ipod for a few months, two at the most, so a depleted number of recharges in the battery is highly unlikely, especially since the computer also will not recognize it. An error message comes up saying that it does not recognize the device. Thanks for any help!

I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.

My iPod touch is not recognized by my computer or by iTunes. It will not charge or sync via USB cord. I'm not sure what generation it is, I've had it about 2 years. HELP!

I can't do anything between the computer and the iPod... cannot sync purchases, music, anything... I tried resetting my iPod, which was a HUGE mistake because now, none of my music is on it and I can't sync the thousands of songs I've purchased to it... all I am able to use it for is to download directly to the iPod via WiFi. (Which I do, but mostly for apps... I don't want to waste money duplicating music purchases.) I've tried the troubleshooting thru iTunes and nothing has helped. Please help!

My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too

My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too
It shows only the battery charging sign when I will coonect to power connector and press menu button. But if I will put it for whole day or night too , It is not charging.
Please tell me what I can do.
I am so frustate.
Please help me.
Thanks

Are you currently plugging it into a computer? If so, try plugging it into a USB power adapter. It's possible that you're trying to charge it from a low-power USB port, and that's not enough to sustain your phone and get it charging.
If you're still unable to get it to charge, schedule a visit with your local genius bar at apple.com/retail

HT4060 iPad will not charge if hooked by USB to pc or plugged into wall. How do I know if the problem is with iPad, cable or power adapter. I have a 12, 10 and 5W adapters no success with any. Only one lightening cable so can't swap cables.

I'm sorry but this is too funny to pass up.

Charge it with the supplied power brick plugged into the wall.
Most USB ports don't put out enough power for the iPad so the best way is plugged into the wall.

My iPad will not charge off my cars USB audio socket any more, will light up and states NOT CHARGING in the top right hand corner?

My iPad will not charge off my cars USB audio socket any more, will light up and states NOT CHARGING in the top right hand corner? Is this normal? the USB will charge other devices.

Did it charge earlier? Did you try a different cable?

Manually sync Notes and Safari bookmarks via USB cable for iOS device and an iMac with MacOS 10.7 Lion and iTunes 11

"I'm aware that with MacOS 10.8 Mountain Lion there is no support for USB cable sync of iOS devices." Notes and Safari Bookmarks cannot longer be sync via USB cable with iTunes. For owners of iPhone 3G that cannot upgraded the device to a version higher than iOS 4.2, syncing Notes and Safari Bookmarks via usb cable with iTunes is the only option we have. There is no iCloud integration for Notes and Safari Bookmarks under iOS 4.2. I'm not updating to MacOS 10.8, because there is no way to sync Notes and Safari Bookmarks via cable. So I won't be able to sync those anymore unless I upgrade to a newer model of iPhone. I'm not into a new hardware investment, at least not for now. I just want to know if iTunes 11 running in MacOS 10.7 Lion still have the functionality of sync Notes and Safari Bookmarks via USB cable.

Mac OS 10.7.5 and iTunes 11.0.4.

Yes.
If you are sincing Notes via iCloud, iTunes will tell you so.
If you change the iDevice - Settings> iCloud > Notes - Off, they sync (or not sync) thru iTunes (either wifi or cable).
So my question now would be:
Is "Notes" manual sync checkbox option provided under "Others" in iTunes 11.0.1 with MacOS 10.7 Lion?
If you change the iDevice - Settings> iCloud > Notes - Off, then yes.

After setting up iCloud for my iPhone and iPad, syncing the calendars to my desktop PC, via USB and iTunes, doesn't seem to work. What;'s going on?

Iphone 3GS recognised in iTune, but not charging

I'm stuck....
one month ago, I got a message on my 3gs "this accessory is not optimised" while there's nothing plugged in...
two weeks ago, I put my iphone on wall charger over night, but found it not charging at all in the morning "Charging is not support with this accessory" while I used the original iphone wall charger. I managed to save a few things on iTune before the last bit of battery run out, ie iTune did recognise it, but just not charging. It worked perfectly fine until the phone switched itself off when there's no power left.
I then cleaned the usb port and the earphone plug, left it in rice, reboot my macbook while iphone's plugged in etc, but nothing worked! I then took it to our local mobile repairers. They changed the usb port and battery etc, but couldn't find what's wrong with it! I then had to drive one hour to our nearest apple store, but the Genius said as non-apple authorised person had a go at it, then they can't repair it. He told me he thought its a water damage, although the water sensors are not flagged up, none had I soaked it in any liquid. But I did take it into bathroom while I had my shower the day before it died (just once in its whole life).
Now I have a high-tech brick, that doesn't do anything....
Help please!!!

When you tried everything and it still doesn't charges, you might consider buying a case which has an external battery in it. than you will have to charge the case and when you put your iPhone in it, it will work. It's not a very good solution and it isn't very pretty around your phone, but it's way better than an iPhone that doesn't work

Iphone 4 on ios6.1 will not charge

iphone4 on 6.1 will not charge

Hi, I've done that but no luck. Previously everything was working syncing, battery charging etc.. But suddely I just cant sync to iTunes 11.0.1 and the charging on my iPhone on version 6.1 is not showing that it is charging. But yes it charging without the charging symbol. Weird behaviour . I've downgraded my itunes version and would upgrade it back to latest itunes version then enable wi-fi syncing, maybe it would sync then.These things should not happen all of a sudden on an iPhone. I Never hear andriod guys complaining of anything......

My iphone 4s is dead and will not charge at all. But keeps blinking the battary sign and the lighting bolt and charger but wont work. WHAT DO I DO!!!

Please help.. My phone will not charge what so ever! and i plugged it into about 5 different chargers that do work on other devices. Ive cleaned with alcohol, and held the home button and top button for 20-30 sec. but still nothing. What should i do!!!

sounds like the battery has reached the end of its life. Bring the phone to Apple for battery diagnostics and possible battery replacement.

My iphone has gone dead and now not charging.

I had it on charge at about 12 today took it of and went dead about an hour ago. Now its not charging at all. I have tried 2 diffrent usb cables into the wall plus the computer. I have only had it since July last year.

"Debris pocket"? I said "check for pocket debris" as in debris /dirt / fluff from whatever pocket you might carry the phone in. A piece of dirt in the phone's docking port can easily prevent a good connection being made with the charging cable.

HT4060 ipad5 not charging with my computer usb

An iPad requires more power than an iPhone to charge it (its wall charger is twice as powerful compared to the iPhone's), and a lot of computers generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.

Ipod shuffle 2nd gen does not charge on new 5W USB power adapter

Hi,
my perfectly functional ipod shuffle 2nd gen with original dock will not charge with the new Continental Europe 5W USB power adapter, even though the specs of the power adapter include the 2nd generation shuffle. Shuffle will blink orange three times, longer than normal blinking, and then do nothing. probably nothing I can do about it, but worth a note. The US model of the new 5W adapter does not include the 2nd gen shuffle, so maybe it is an error on the apple specs page.
Maybe the 2nd gen needs more than 5W to charge?

indeed, it needs the bigger 12 Watt Adapter and the apple site is wrong.
