IPhone 5 not charging when Macbook Air display is off
Hey guys,
Small problem here. For some reason my iPhone 5 is not chargin when the display turns off. It is fine when i'm sing the mac but if i leave it for 2 mins, the phone stops charging.
This wasn't a problem on my Pro.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks!
I have mine set (System Preferences>Energy Saver) to never sleep computer only display
Deselect Put hard disks to sleep and select wake for network access
Deselect Power Nap.
And it stays charging my ipad even when the air is not in use for many hours.
I have different settings for on battery and it stops charging when it sleeps.
I am running Mavericks.

Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade. I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)
Are others having the same problems?Try this. Worked for me.
- turn off your router
- turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
- turn off all iDevices
- do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
- turn on your router first
- ran the network set up wizard
- give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
Something which you don't have used before.
- turn on your Mac's and add your printer
- turn on your iDevices at least.
Should work after these steps.
It worked for me including all iDevices.

HT201401 iphone 4s not charging when power ON
iphone 4s not charging when power ON
Amish/ Selvars4, i have exactly the same issue. I'm sure its software issue as mine has done it also just last week. i had it happen previously about 3 months ago also. the phone would only charge via a USB from a pc or if the phone was turned off.The way i got it working last time i kept reloading previous version of the phone back up and finally it worked normally again. It was always visible to iTunes so not an issue. Last week though i have had exactly the same problem as Selvars and itunes cannot see it now, and not charge by any device except when turned off. I did a backup and iTunes sync about 2 days before this problem started. (now thinking back it was the same when i had the previous issues with charging) this time its invisible to iTunes, pc,won't charge anywhere except turned off. i left it plugged into pc where it wasn't visible and then about 40mins later it recognised it. so i did a factory restore and update then reloaded a back up. it now is visible to pc and charges from pc and power adaptor but won't charge from a dock. Strange and Frustrating. Suvzero

IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer
My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
-error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
-would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
-person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
-when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
-cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
-when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say. -
My iPhone 4 (GSM) will not charge when I plug it first, I have to unplug it and when I plug it again, then it charges... It is very weird... Has this happened to anyone?
Thank you in advance for the answer.It is yet happening to me. In my case it happens when I plug it to any kind of charger: socket, car... I have to pull it out the phone and plug it in again so it reacts and starts charging.
Of course, I tried cleaning with a soft, dry brush. This had no effect.
Thanks again and best regards. -

Skype Calls not received when MacBook Air is asleep
My MacBook Air is running Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5 with Skype 6.14. Skype video calls are received normally with notification sounds as long as the MacBook Air is not asleep. It will also receive a video call one time while asleep if Skype has first been restarted. After that when the MacBook goes back to sleep a Skype call is ignored. I haven't been able to solve this by changing Energy Saver settings in OS System Preferences or anything in Skype Preferences. I tried deleting the Skype Preferences file plist but this didn't make a difference. Could this be related to the loss of Skype sound problem widely reported? Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.
Update - I ended up spending about an hour on the phone with a very helpful rep from AppleCare. He was also stumped by this problem. We ended up solving it by using a remote screen-share app that allowed him to see what my video card was sending to the external display, and he directed me over the phone to change the settings (quite funny really - it was literally "move your mouse up a tiny bit, now click, now left, etc).
So, my problem is solved for now, albeit in a very cumbersome way. Still amazed that there's no way to fix this properly. -
IPhone 5 not charging when cable is connected
I recently had my iPhone battery replaced, it was ordered directly from the iStore (I live in South Africa) and is a valid, not generic, battery.
Since the technicians replacement, the phone has been working like normal, but upon charging for the first time I noticed the battery percentage would not improve.
I'm really confused about this - and frankly, quite frustrated that when connected to any power outlet, the phone recognises that it is plugged in by displaying the lighning bolt next to the battery life bar, and makes the "charging sound". When I tried to charge it through my computers USB port, it does the same - displays the lightning bolt and makes the familiar sound. My iTunes even recognises the device and if I wanted to, I could have synched my music.
My previous issue before having my phones battery replaced was also charging related - since updating to iOS7 in September 2013, the battery life was absolutely dismal, I could take a photo on 100% battery, and it would die almost immediately afterwards. To use the phone effectively I had to keep it permanently on charge.
My main concern here is that since having the aforementioned problem fixed by buying a new battery, it will now not charge at all, unlike previously where it would actually just charge but die almost immediately. I have scoured as many forums online related to my problem, and I have tried everything I possibly can to get my phone to charge. Unfortunately in the time it has taken me to sort it out, my phone has died and now will not switch on, even while "on charge."
Coukd this be a problem with the phone itself?
Should I have this seen to? I am beginning to feel quite disillusioned with my endless phone problems.
Sidenote: My iPhone was a gift from my father who bought it in England for me while on holiday in November 2012. My sister has one too - and I have tried charging my phone with her cable - no result. I don't think the warranty will be able to help at all, I doubt my dad still has the papers.
Please can someone shed some light on what I can do, or if anyone has had similar problems?
Thanks in advanceiPhones are not user or anyone else serviceable
Apple do not repair iphones all defective units are returned for refurbishment to the manufacturing Plants and in South Africa all service and support is provided by the Apple Approved carriers
There are no "valid" batteries ,Apple does not offer battery service in SA and therefore who ever repaired the iPhone is not an authorised repairer and also Apple does NOT sell spares
Your iPhone has been tampered with by unauthorised servicers and you have therefore voided any help with your device from Apple or here ,sorry -

IPhone calendar not syncing to MacBook air
Ever since I upgraded my iPhone to 8.1.3, my calendar entries and deletions are not updating on my MacBook Air with OS Yosemite AND on my iPad (also upgraded to iOS 8.1.3). Nothing has changed in any of my iCloud settings on none of the devices. So obviously the changes that I make with my iPhone are not making it to my MacBook or iPad. HELP!
Hey Lynda Jo,
That is not very productive when the calendars are not syncing. I am not sure what troubleshooting you have done on your end but let’s start with the first article below to get it sorted out. It will have you check the settings even though you have not changed anything, it may be a good idea to double check. If all looks good after that troubleshooting, then the second article will be your follow up to get it working again.

IPhone hotspot not working with MacBook air
Hi this is my first post I think and I'm hoping for a fix to my issues.
My iPhone 4S hotspot won't work when connected to my MacBook Air in either USB mode or wireless/Bluetooth.
A few weeks back I had the same issue, took both iPhone and MacBook to my local apple store and the tech deleted a folder from the mac and it fixed the issue.
I don't know which folder he deleted, he said they were network configuration files that would regenerate themselves.
Anyway it has been working fine for a few weeks but tonight it has ceased to connect again. I'm working overseas and don't have access to the apple store so I'm hoping someone here can advise me which files I need to delete Again to get this hotspot working.
Both iPhone and MacBook have the very latest software update both yesterday and it did work fine yesterday after the update.You couldn't have, there are no supported Bluetooth Profiles between a iMac and an iPhone outside of Internet sharing.
In which case you need to enable the internet Sharing over bluetooth on the Mac before trying to pair.
Other than that there's no way to pair them. -
HT1476 Why will my iPhone 4S not charge when it is plugged in?
I have plugged my iPhone 4S into a computer and it will not charge, even though the computer recognizes the phone as an external device.
What should I do?What happens when you plug the phone to the wall outlet using the same usb cord?

IPhone 5 not charging in MacBook Pro
I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 8.1 and a MacBook Pro of latest 2013 running OS X Yosemite. The problem is that today I plugged my iphone to my Mac and nothing happened. It wasnt detected nor it started charging. I though the problem was the cable and I plugged it in the wall and it charged perfectly, then tried again in the Mac and nothing happened. Then I tried with my girlfriends iPhone 4S in my Mac and it detected it perfectly and started charging...is freaking weird
So now I dont know if the problem is my Mac or my iPhone 5....I tried restarting both but nothing happened...I restarted the iphone holding both home and power buttons and still doesnt work...Before going to Apple I would like to get some help here please
Thanks in advanceNop my problem is definitely weird!!!. My iPhone 5 charges anywhere with the cable I always use (the original one), in the wall and in a pc. When I plug it to my Mac book Pro it does not even detect it, and I tried again my gf's iPhone 4S and my Mac detects and charges it perfectly...so basically the problem is only between my iPhone 5 and my Mac...I believe there might be an option that is enabled somewhere to not detect this iPhone???...it was ok a few days ago!! :@

I started having issues charging my Iphone and found that if it was switched off and on mains power it would charge.
It does not allow syncing with Itunes and or usb conncection.
I have a lot of photos on my phone that I have not been able to save (USB issue) and I am worried about retrieving these.
If my phone is connected to mains power - the apple icon comes on - then it goes off - then a few seconds later the icon comes up again and then off again?
Help please.
Thanks
