Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.

My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

My iphone 4 will not charge and the battery is dead how do i fix this?

If it's still under warranty, Apple will fix it, but you have to send it to them, so you won't have it for several weeks. If the warranty is expired, they'll still do it, but you'll have to pay for it. Last I heard, it costs $99/S&H.
That is the ultimate defect in the iPhone. No other cellphone has a battery that is not user-replaceable. I won't buy a phone that doesn't.

My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead.

My iPhone 4 will not charge and is now dead. I updated the software about 2 weeks ago but since the phone is dead I can find out which version I have. It started giving me the prompt "this accessory does not support charging this device". I tried charging in my car, two separate wall chargers and on my MacBook Pro. Have never had a problem charging it before. When I would try to charge it, I would get a green battery icon with a plug in it, indicating the battery was fully charged. I now have it plugged into a wall charger, it shows the lighting bolt and nearly drained battery but the phone will not turn on. Any ideas?

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.

My iphone 5 will not charge, and will not power on.

My iphone 5 is 14 months old and it will not charge, and it has died. My charger cable works as it charges my ipad, and I also used a second charger for good measure. Please help.
When I try to power on, it goes to the battery sign with the lightning bolt underneath.
It has been on the charger for a while, and still no luck.
I tried a hard reset to no avail, and I connected it to my computer, but it is dead and itunes won't recognize it if it is dead.

Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.

My iphone 5 will not charge and will also not be recognised when plugging into my computer

I need help.
I have looked on loads of forums but I seem to have 2 problems merged into one.
The first one is that my phone will not charge, i have tried different USB ports, different plugs (the only thing i havent got round to yet is checking the actual cable). I have clean the phone where the cable goes.
Also when i plug it into the computer, it says the USB is not being recognised and it also doesnt charge my phone.
I didnt update the phone last week when i was notified by itunes - will it have something to do with this. I have the latest version of itunes.

Hello guys!!Pls help me if someone knows what should I do.my iphone was working perfectly so far but a couple of days ago it stopped charging.its not charging neither with the a/c adaptre nor with the usb through my pc.it says device not recognized..today I had my iphone switched off and tried to see if it was charging and actually it was!but it didnt show that it was actually charging(the battery icon with the bolt didnt appear..but after 3 hours it was fully charged..but this happens only when its awitched off..so i cant connect on itunes and i cant charge it while its turned on!!if someone knows pls help!!!!!!!!!!tnx a lot guys!!!

I actually had the same problem here you just have to change the cable, i dont know exactly why but i think its because when you have your phone swithced of then it doesnt need more electricity so if a little pass then you can charge it for a while and then the iphone will automaticly open again,, so just go an buy a new cable nothing to scared of

My Iphone 4s will not charge, flash won't turn off. Is it completley broken?

My iphone was completley dead and when I tried to charge it the flash came on and it won't charge or turn on now. I've tried restarting it and at first the Apple logo would pop up but now it is doing nothing but saying the battery needs to be charged, but it won't charge because the flash won't go off! Plus, when I plug it into my mac book itunes doesn't recognize it.

What on earth do you mean by shattered? Can you post a picture?
It's always possible that the connector was damaged but not to the point that chargers wouldn't work. With continued use, the damage got worse until the connector could no longer feed electricity into the phone.
It sounds to me like you need to get your phone replaced but only the folks at an Apple store can say for sure.

As I said above, some of the new lightning cables have been known to be causing problems for some users. Have it replaced if at all possible by bringing it into your local Apple Store's Genius Bar.

My iphone 4S will not charge unless the power is switched off. How to fix?

Hello,
My iPhone 4S will not charge unless it is switched off. This happened suddenly with no other symptom several weeks ago. If I plug the charger in, while powered on, the phone doesn't appear to detect it has been plugged in and the battery icon doesn't change its display to show charging. Charging only happens when the phone is powered off completely.
I did some searches for this type of problem and saw it has happened to a few with earlier version iphones, but didn't see any published solutions.
A visit to the local Apple store didn't help either as I was told had to make an appointment; can't make an appointment for awhile because out of the country and no Apple stores where I'm at.
This is a very annoying problem. Anyone else have this happen and have a fix?

I got this problem solved and just want to let others know what it was.
I followed ewdel1's advice and brought my phone in to have it looked at and sure enough, was told that this is a problem others have had and it was due to a faulty integrated circuit. Luckily, I was able to take this in to be looked at when I did because my 1 year warranty was about to expire in a week.
Apple replaced my 4S with a "new" phone. The replacement looks and works good as new, so happy I didn't have to go through a hassle and the replacement was very straightforward.

Iphone 4s doesn't charge and charging icon never change and i cannot open my phone now?anyone can help me?

anyone can help me...my iphone 4s is not charging and the charging icon remain 1%...and there is a time it will come on and i will try to reset the settings but the problem it doesn't turn on once it dead.And i went to the apple store today and they said the charger connector or the charging port has been bent..they want me to pay 199 plus tax for another phone.Since i have this iphone 4s for 1 year and 2 months so it is very frustrating for me...So i decided not to buy another iphone..If i want to get another one not with apple anymore.So,when i got home,my wife try to make a research on the computer try to troubleshoot on our own because i cannot believe what the Apple manager told us "THE CHARGING COONECTOR HAS BEEN DAMAGED MAYBE BECAUSE i FORCED TO CHARGE EVEN IT DOESN'T FIT" it is a big insult for me because this is not my first phone..So my wife word hard for it and she keep on pressing the power button every 15 minutes..(10-15 seconds and it come on).And again i try to reset again its dead..I cannot turn back on....any advise?looks like apple wants only money and they are not trying there best to help there customer problem.

My question is if the port is damaged,How come the charge sign come ff when i charge...but if there is a chance that the apple logo come on the icon of the battery never change still 1% but it will last for a day..doing phone calls and everything?Please help!

My iPhone 5s will not charge or turn on. Itunes does not detect it and it doesn't warm up like usual when im charging it. PLEASE HELP!

I really need help with this please!

Get a different cable from a friend or an Apple store, be sure it is an official Apple cable as many knock-offs are rejected by iOS devices.
See if a different cable works and makes the iPhone "seeable" by the charger and by iTunes.
If that does not help, take the iPhone, cable and charger to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs.
