IPhone 4S will not charge or connect to iTunes

For the last week or so, my iPhone has been dying very quickly, I end up having to charge it 4 to 5 times a day, and when it does charger, it always overheats. Suddenly, my iPhone has stopped charging and it will not connect to iTunes. I have tried resetting it, using other chargers, blowing out the charging port and updating iTunes. Every now and then, I will try to turn my phone on and it will be at 6% and then it will turn off 5 seconds later. Other times, I will try to plug my iPhone into the wall or computer and it will show the charger with lightning bolt screen and it is plugged in. I have no clue what is happening, or how to fix it. PLEASE HELP!

I had a diagnosis done, and they said that it was not because of the battery, but they said it should be replaced.

  • My iphone 4 will not charge or connect to itunes.

    I got this from a friend, she had thrown the iphone against a wall and the back glass plate is broken. But it worked fine, really well. A month later it started having battery issues. Now it wont charge. Actually, i have no idea whats really wrong with it. It will take days to charge at a time and will have a full battery when it turns on, but if i unplug it from the usb it wont stay on. Even though it says its charged 100%. Now it wont turn on at all. It just has the red battery chargeing thing. Ive tried pressing the home/sleep buttons. And it wont connect to itunes. Please help me. (This is an iphone 4 16 gb).

    It's entirely possible when your friend threw the phone against the wall (breaking the back glass plate) that it damaged the internal battery of the iPhone.
    It is likely you will need to take your phone in to be serviced.
    Take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:
    TS2802 iPhone: Hardware Troubleshooting
    Specifcally the following:
    Will not turn on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if the Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) in the headset jack or dock connector is activated or there are signs of corrosion or debris. Learn more about LCIs.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    If something other than the Home screen or Low Battery screen appears on the display, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, try resetting it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter. To reset, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or the battery symbol appears.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Restore the iPhone. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes

    I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes, I have tried pressing the power button and home botton together and nothing happened.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod will not charge or connect to itunes

    Hello, My name is Perla and I am a proud customer of Apple. I bought my iPod Touch 4G 8G on March 17, 2011. I had no problems over the course of almost a year. Last week, my iPod would not charge or connect to iTunes. I took it to the Apple Store and they exchanged mine for another. Just a couple of days ago, my new iPod had been experiencing the same problem. As of now, it would not charge to my computer or any outlet for that matter or connect to iTunes. I want to take it to the Apple Store and get it checked out but I'm afraid they won't exchange it again, they'll probably charge me and I don't have the money. Any ideas or suggestions?

    I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  You warranty is istll in effect.  The warranty for a replacement iPod is 90 days or the remainder of the original warranty, which  ever is greater.

  • My ipod will not charge or connect to Itunes.

    So I have tried everything, plugging into 3 different chargers, into the wall and pc. Two different USB ports on the pc. And yet nothing. I have done all the hold down the top and home button for 10 seconds then also a minute and yet still nothing. It was was working fine charging and every thing and I unplugged it walked out of my room for about 5-10 mins go to plug it back up and nothing. I have been searching for over a hour looking for solution's. What is really crazy about it it that if I turn it off then plug into my pc the apple logo will pop up and it will come on and it seems to have charged some. But it still will not charge while on or be recognized by my pc or Itunes. I know it can't be any of the prongs on the charger port bent because it would not charge while off. Someone please help!! Thanks

  • IPhone 4 will not charge - it connects, but then disconnects

    iPhone 4 8gb/White. Purchased November 2011, AT&T. 
    Just started happening Saturday (2 days ago).
    Plug in the 30-pin connector, and USB to PC: it will chirp, but then stop.  This same PC/USB connector supports 2 other iPods (4th gen) and a iPhone 4S (granted, not all are plugged in together, but one at a time!), and the White iPhone 4 is the only one with the issue.
    Tried on another PC, USB plugged directly in, no hubs, no extensions, again, a cable that is tried and true and works on other iOS devices. SAME problem. Chirp-on, then disconnect after 1 second.  Does this repeatedly 3 or 4 times in a row, then gives up for a while.
    Tried with straight USB AC power cube - same result.   Tried a different USB AC power cube - same result.
    I have tried to power the phone off and charge it with the power off, but when the port wakes back up, it turns the phone back on.
    I managed to keep enough charge in the phone to update it from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1. Also did a "reset all settings" - and the problem persists.
    I have NOT yet done an erase all settings (is it necessary?) or restore, but mostly because the port won't stay connected long enough to do so.
    This phone has NO liquid sensors tripped, does not have a lot of use on it, only has 17 total hours usage on cellular usage.
    I have an appointment at the Apple store tomorrow. Is there something I should try in the meantime?
    Recap: 
    I have ruled out the cable, the PC, power cube, as all other iOS devices work fine with the combination of cables/chargers/etc.

    Clean the dock connector using a soft, dry brush.

  • My iPhone 4 will not charge when connected to a Toshiba S-75 computer.

    I have an iPhone 4 that charged on a USB connection to a HP computer. I recently purchased a Toshiba S75-A7221 laptop, which has the "sleep and charge" feature. At first, the phone would charge, then it started to beep, so did the laptop. One beep alternates with the other. I contacted Toshiba. They indicate that for $49 they can reset the computer, and that will fix the problem. I am not so sure, as the Toshiba documentation indicates that for some loads, the sleep and charge feature will not work. Should I continue to pursue the Toshiba group or just charge the iphone with the small cube charger and forget about connecting it or updating it through this computer? A fix is desired, but if there is none, just a reminder that maybe Toshiba laptop computers do not have enough output current to charge an iPhone.

    What you describe is not an Apple or iPhone issue.
    Talk to Toshiba.  If you chose to pursue the issue with them, that is up to you.  No one here can tell you what the correct solution is.
    Keep in mind, all iPhones ship will a wall plug to permit the device being charged from a wall outlet.

  • IPhone will not charge, or connect to iTunes

    ive tried many chargers, & many different sorces (computer, dock, car charger, wall charger) nothing works. there is no possible way for me to charge my phone. even when i try to restore it , thats not possible because my phone wont show up. itunes it up to date so thats not the problem. ive deleted & reinstalled itune also and still not charging.  plz help.

    hmmm... did you try updating the firmware or try jailbreaking?
    try plugging and unplugging your connection 10-12 times.
    if not try a hard reset and leave the iPhone charging for about 12 hours.

  • IPhone 4 will not charge when connected to power

    I have tried the home/ power trick and at first it went to the apple logo then would power up and then cycle off and then repeat infinitely. Now the phone is so low on power that it only shows either the lightening bolt while connected or the cord + lightening bolt when not connected to power. It is still not charging though. I left plugged in overnight and still no change.Help please

    If not a problem with the power adaptor or 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.

  • My iphone 4 will not charge or connect to a charger so cannot connect to itunes or be plugged in..how do I back up my pics and get them?

    A few days ago my phone decided it would only charge when it was shut off or on a car charger...from what I have read it sounds like it is some chip possibly because they tried changing my charging port and it did nothing. My main concern right now is more about the 1100 pictures I have on there and getting them off. My 3 months old entire 3 months of life are on that camera and my photo stream is only showing 59 photos. How do I either get my pics into my photo stream or somewhere I can retrieve them with out emailing 1100 pictures. The place I went gave me a fully charged battery to try and get everything off my camera and I tried everything before it died. I tried backing it up and it kept failing? I tried sharing all of the pictures on icloud and still cannot see them anywhere. I am slightly freaking out here and hesitant to get it fixed with out getting pictures off it just in case something went wrong and they all got deleted or something and I honestlyl really do not want to pay a bunch to fix it because we are upgrading in a few months. Any help will be greatly appreciated because I will die if I lose those picutes.

    Hello!
    i know a place where they can look at your phone. It's call DoctorApple. i went there to repair my phone. this is their phone number : 514 234-2851

  • My iphone 4 will not go into recovery mode, and will not charge or connect to itunes. Also, it randomly shuts down.

    So when I plug it in, it doesn't recognize that it's being plugged in. I've checked the charger cord, and everything. By the way, I think it's ios 7.1.2, but I'm not sure. It's definately ios 7

    Try holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down until the Apple logo does not reappear--even if it takes a few minutes. Then try the DFU mode.

  • HT1476 iPhone 4S won't charge or connect to iTunes through cable properly.

    Hi, My iPhone 4S is not charging or connecting to iTunes.  Only very sporadically does it charge properly or connect to the computer.  It is always charging a bit however when the cable is connected, but very slowly (approx 1% per hour).  On the odd occasion it does charge properly it all seems fine, but this is very rare.
    I have tried several different cables (all original Apple ones).  I have tried charging on different power sockets.  I have tried charging on different computers (both Apple and Regular).  I have also tried charging on a docking station.
    I am taking it to an Apple support center this Friday, but urgenly need to sync with iTunes to save all my apps I have bought.  I have not synced for a while.  I have been told I will probably get a new phone, that is why everything needs to be backed up now.  I have already back-up my setting on iCloud, but as far as I am aware this will not back up the actual software.
    Please help.  I am desperate!
    Thanks

    I would restart
