Iphone 5 not charging but will power on if you turn the phone off
Hi, for a couple of weeks now the connection on my iPhone 5 has been bad when trying to charge. It would constantly connect and then disconnect straight away until you got it into a very still position where the cable or the phone would not be touched. Now the phone has stopped charging altogether. I have checked the charging port to see if there is any lint but there is none in there. The strange thing is that if you turn the phone off, and then plug the cable into the phone it recognises it and then will turn on. Anyone else had this problem or know of a way to sort it? I have got a genius bar appointment in the next couple of days but will have to go without a phone until then, and it is also out of warranty so I assume apple will try to make me pay for it if it needs fixing.
Thanks.
Just incase anyone else is having similar issues, I took the phone into the apple store today and the guy said that it wasn't the charging port, the battery is operating fine but something was going wrong, wouldn't tell me what just asked I paid £210 for a replacement phone. Took down to a local gadget repair shop and they sorted it out for £25 as it was the charging port that was broke now phone is working fine again. I get the impression that apple must have known it was a charging port problem because the other place which isn't even an apple shop found it in a matter of minutes. Shame that apple have to be so greedy sometimes because in the past they have been excellent for me.

My iphone 4S has mute activated. It will not un-mute by taping the mute button or when I turn the phone off then back on.Hi Lukeohiggins,
If you are having issues with your iPhone unexpectely powering off, you may want to try the troubleshooting listed under Power/Battery > Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off in the following article:

My dad gave me an iPhone 3G to use as an ipod touch but it's not picking up wifi. ive tried everything to like reseting the network settings turning wi fi off and on mutable times, turned the phone off on and on. What do i do?
the iphone never really picked up wi fi when it was used as a phone and it didnt really matter because he had unlimited internet but it still wont go on wi fi. does any one know why it is doing this?
The iphone works fine other wise i just really want it to go on wi fi. We just got new wi fi too and all of our other apple products go on the wi fi just fine. I dont know if its because its newer or what but my brothers 1st gen ipod goes on wi fi just fine.

My youtube app is no longer working on my iphone 3. Others, with the same phone, are not having the problem. It works occassionally, but it's unpredictable. I've updated phone software, deleted the app, re-downloaded the app, turned the phone off and on...nothing.
You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor. Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?
Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article. -

My iPhone is not showing that it is connected to wi-fi. My laptop is showing the wi-fi signal with a completely strong signal. I have turned the phone off & on multiple times, and have turned the wi-fi (on the phone) off & on multiple times as well, all with the same result. Help!!! Any suggestions?
Poof! It's working like normal! Thanks Lawrence! Guess I have to learn patience!

The light on the back of my iphone 4s will not turn off. Even when I turn the phone off the light stays on. Can someone help? I did notice that the camera on the back has a little bit of moisture. (I have 3 small kids).
You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

While using my Iphone 5, all of a sudden black and white stripes where on the screen. I have tryed to turn the phone off and on again, but there are only the stripes. I can't use it, and nothing happens when I push the buttons. Can someone help me?
Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

All the keystrokes sounds in different sounds that go with the phone have stopped working do you know how to make them go again? The ring tones and notifications down this still work but not that keystrokes are other in phone sounds. Is there something I can do other than turn the phone off and on to restore them?
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
If the basic troubleshooting steps don't work, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement. -

Do this first:

Wifi goes out a lot but comes back if I turn the phone off/on. 5S
wifi goes out a lot but comes back if I turn the phone off/on. 5S iPhone. Not sure what the problem is. I've heard that changing my wifi router security to WEP works but that seems pretty lame.
Hello, SDSmith45202.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the access point can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection. The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.
