Iphone 5 lightning charger jack

Hi
Sorry newbie post.
Right, i dont't know weather my issue is due to IOS7 but happened at the same time.
My phone dosn't charge, well it does but i have to fiddle arround a little bit with the cable and then wrap it around my phone to stay in a certain position to charge.
It's not a cable issue. I have a genuine cable and one also from my Ipad also i have tried my girlfriends iphone charger and it still has the same issue.
I've not dropped the phone. Sadly warrenty has run out. But my bank can offer to fix the issue of an excess of £100.
I have tried plugging it into a Mac and trying Itunes, and the trust this cable... Still no joy.
Has anyone had this issue, know of any fixes
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Check for debris in charging slot
do a reset
restore with backup
restore as new ( most effective )

  • Charging iPhone 5 Lightning with Mini USB

    In my car is a built in charger with a Mini USB (not Micro) adapter. How can I connect it with my iPhone 5 Lightning? Apple offers an adapter Lightning to Micro USB, but no Mini USB adapter.
    josjz

    If you have the micro to lightning and the mini usb is a socket
    then a Micro usb male to mini usb male should fix it
    Google it 
    I found many ,it just depends on your Counrty
    or a lightning cable with  a normal USB socket to micro plug adapter

  • HT1476 My apple lightning charger isnt charging my iphone 5

    My phone is having a very hard time charging with the charger inserted. It is a standard issue lightning charger and the power goes in and out. Not sure what to do because my phone is dead and it won't charge now.

    Lightning Cable and iPhone are both covered by the 1 year Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take both to Apple Store so the issue can be resolved.

  • Genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge

    genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge - went to Apple in Milton keynes to get a replacement charger this weekend that does not work as well!

    Well, if this problems is so old I think it is strange that Apple hasen't fixed the bug long time ago, and certainly after the release of iOS 8.1.
    Well, thank you very much for your answer, Lawrence Finch. I think the best thing to do is to send the phone to repair, if there is no solution to fix this by my self. I will anyway call the Apple support tomorrow, but I don't think they will illuminate me...

  • My iPhone 5 only charges with my lightning port cable and only on one side. I've tried buying a new cable but that doesn't work.

    Since there's no one side on a lightning cable, make an appointment with genius bar for an evaluation.

  • IPhone Lightning charger replacement

    I recently bought an original apple 6.6' lightning charger cable from bestbuy and the end ripped and it is not working anymore. Is this product covered under my one year warranty? Also do I have to provide a recipt to have it replaced?

    The lightning cable does have a warranty. You may have to provide a receipt to show when you purchased it, since it was not from an Apple store. Then make an appointment at the Genius Bar to see about the warranty replacement.

  • IPhone 5 not charging

    About 4 days ago I went to plug my iPhone in to charge and it refused to charge. I tried many methods to get it working such as trying different mains sockets and using my MacBook Pro but nothing worked. I am using a genuine Apple lightning charger but tried another genuine charger and it still didn't work. The phone is out of warranty so I took it apart and replaced the battery and lightning port connector myself using genuine parts. The audio jack, microphone and loud speaker all work (they are connected to the lightning port) but it just doesn't seem to charge nor recognise that the charger is connected. However, when I put the phone in DFU or recovery mode, it recognises the charger and pops up on iTunes but still does not charge the phone. There seems to be a problem with the phone recognising the charger in it's normal mode and just not charging the phone in any state. This is a really confusing and annoying problem. Can anyone help me? I would prefer it if you didn't refer me to the Apple Store to get it fixed.

    Hi,
    This sounds like an internal battery issue. You may want to try replacing that if you can.
    (Just to say, Apple probably won't replace your iPhone as you changed parts).
    Hope this helps!

  • Even genuine iphone 5 usb charging cable does not work for an year?

    I have bought an iphone 5 last year. With it, came the  original apple genuine iphone 5 lightning USB cable. It did not last for half year. I had to buy another original apple iphone 5 similar cable and it was gone within 3 months. I dont understand is it cable manufacturing problem? is apply selling fake cables? It is really annoying and I am really angry that such a reputed company cant give/ provide proper long lasting cables.
    My experience with these two genuine cables was that after some months of  usage, i used to observe even if its plugged it would not charge, or if you push it hard its charging. Firstly, I never keep my phone charging all time. Then how the hack can the charging cable die? or problem arise. I bought the phone and the charging cables when I was germany. I had to buy a 20 euro local companys USB charging cable after above two stopped working with no signs of damage. I have also tried cleaning the charging jack or socket where cable is inserted. It did not help. This local charging cable started to torn out automatically and it got fully damaged, Now I am in India, I bought another cable of 10 euros and it is just two days, it would not charge again.
    I am really furious now whether you use original or local USB cables they dont last for even a week? what the ****?
    Do I need to really pay for those portable charger with a big price tag, that my problem will be solved? very very upset. I never have any complaint with the phone, but the charging catastrophies, really ****** me off. I think of going back to other mobile brands like samsung or nokia where there is never a charging issue or battery drainage issue once you charge its goes for days or it  is also expensive buy a nokia or samsung charger if lose it or break it. but for iphones its really bugging situation and not just me many people around the world are having sick problem with iphone brand with charging ISSUES.
    APPLE PLEASE SORT THE PROBLEM OR SELL the PORTABLE IPHONE CHARGERS (WIRELESS) CHEAPER so that we dont have to use these silly little lightning cables. or I fear my APPLE I PHONE 5 is not genuine or its FAKE.
    PLEASE HELP>

    Look closely at the way you handle the cables. I have never had any cable, Apple or third-party, fail on me.

  • IPhone 5s not charging on my macbook pro

    When connecting my iPhone 5S Lightning cable to my Macbook Pro 17 (A1297), the iPhone 5S does not show as connected to iTunes unless through WiFi sync. If I shut off the WiFi, the phone does not appear in iTunes. Only through Wifi Sync. There is also no charge going to the phone.
    The cable powers the phone just fine on a cube. And I have tried both sides of the connector both ways on the Mac's ports.
    Other devices work fine on my Mac's ports such as USB drives that are also powered from the port.
    I have reset the PRAM on the Mac and rebooted both devices, to no avail.  I have tried other cables as well.
    Is there anything I have missed? Any recommendations?

    Hello shokk,
    I'd recommend taking a look at the following article, as it provides information that can help get your iPhone to reappear in iTunes via USB.

  • Anyone had problems with iPhone 5 not charging?

    My iPhone 5 stopped charging around 2 weeks ago, I have bought new plugs and cables but still get nothing when it's plugged into the mains or USB.
    Has anyone else had this issue?

    could have shorted out, lots of complaints about these new lightning cables, if its under warranty sounds like a trip to the apple store is due, and they will replace what needs to be replaced if its under warranty

  • Is the iPhone 5 lightning cable also covered under AppleCare?

    My iPhone lightning cable is starting to fall apart.
    I never take it anywhere. It just stays plugged in at home and all I use it for is connecting to my iPhone 5 for charging, etc. So it's definitely never been abused.
    It came with my iPhone 5 which I got October of 2012, so the iPhone 5 itself is still under the 2 year AppleCare warranty. Do they cover the lightning cable too? I can't believe it has started to wear out like this just from daily plugging in.

    Of course. AppleCare covers your iPhone and the accessories that came with it, including the Lightning cable. Just make an appointment at an Apple Store or reseller and take the iPhone and the cable to get it replaced for free.
    Here in Japan it was even easier than that. I just had to call AppleCare and they will deliver one by express service, and pick up the old one. No need to make an appointment, or to actually go anywhere.
