IPhone dock connector and Wi-Fi syncing not working

Who's ready for a tough one?
I have an iPhone 5 which will not connect to any charger or computer through USB. I have tried more than one lightning cable. The iPhone will also not connect to iTunes for Wi-Fi sync which isn't surprising to me because it almost never works on any of my family's devices. The iPhone is at 2% battery right now so iCloud backup isn't an option.
Any ideas for me?
I have had 3 iPhone 5 devices on which the dock connector has broken. It's probably just programmed to do that after 2 years so a new device has to be bought. This is so frustrating because I have tried on 2 of them to replace the part only to have some part of the new thing not work... How about we make a dock connector that isn't so fragile or we at least make some way to manually connect an iOS device to iTunes for Wi-Fi sync via IP address or something?

Just to make sure I'm picking up what you're putting down. When you plug the device into a charger and wall adapter, it does not charge. And when you plug it into the computer it does not appear in iTunes?

I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distress

If she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for 4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up.

Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved. If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation. Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.

IPhone 5 iOS 7/Maverick Wifi Sync Not Working

Since updating to Maverick on my MacBook Pro Retina I have not been able to sync my iPhone 5 over wifi with iTunes.. It's amazing how used to a feature you get and it's actually really aggrevating not being able to do this now.
It has worked fine ever since I got the both devices, and yet after upgrading to iOS7 and Maverick wifi sync does not work. Before iTunes update 11.1.3 my phone at least showed up under "devices". Now it does not show up at all in iTunes unless plugged in via USB.
I've tried rebooting routers, forgetting networks, checking and unchecking "wifi sync" on iTunes, and even going to a different locaiton (i.e. a different router) which also used to work fine and same issues. When I go to Settings>General>iTunes Wifi Sync on my phone and tap "Sync Now" it just says "looking for my MacBook Pro"...and does nothing.
I have seen varying posts about this feature not being available if you opted out of the iCloud or something with iOS7 but can't find a definitive answer. So, is it something which is definitiely no longer available with the new upgrages, or does anyone have a cure?
Many thanks.

This is so unfortunate. Holmdel, I would also report this to Apple to have it on record.
You can make Apple aware of this at: http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html, and in the meantime you'll have to use AssistiveTouch. Hopefully when more people come forward, they will fix this bug in the next update.

IPhone 5S mic and Touch-ID do not work anymore - What to do?

Hi together and a happy new year to everyone!!
At the moment I have got a serious problem talking about my new iPhone 5s. As it's a cell phone I would like to talk to my friends and family using it. But it seems that this part of the devices is not working anymore as the mic doesn't record anything. If I try to call someone, they can't hear me while I can clearly listen to what they are trying to tell me. So I was wondering whether this is a "phone-app"-problem only or if the mic does not work at all. So I just use to start the "memo"-app, and: It doens't work either. I have no clue what's wrong with the iPhone.
I also tried the update to 7.0.4 and even the reset with the same iOS build, but nothing changed.
So what should I do?
Now, the second problem is that I cannot use Touch-ID anymore. It used to work without any problems but now I does not recognize my finger(s) anymore and I am not able to scan a new finger anymore...that's really annoying. - Tried the same staff here: Update and reset, but nothing changed.
Anyone here who experienced the same problem(s)? Any help or good advice?
Thanks a lot an a happy New Year's day to everyone of you guys out there!!

I have a same problem, and my iphone is the 4S!!!
When I turn on the phone speaker, the mic isn't working, after upgrade to ios 6....
Please help us!

How do I calibrate my iPhone 5s? And my internet is not working?

I got my iPhone 5s, 5 month ago for Christmas. I go to type a message or click something on the screen and it will automatically click something different. I don't know hats wrong with it? Is it a fault or am I able to just calibrate it. Also my internet will not work outside the house even though it is unlimited and was working a couple of days ago?

1. iPhone: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
2. "Internet will not work outstide the house"? Are you referring to WiFi or cell data?
To start, reset your phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

HT1414 iphone is disabled and the pincode is not working

Hi,
My Iphone is disabled and despite having the correct passcode it has totally locked me out and asking me to connect to I-Tunes, can't do this either because it is asking for my passcode but only showing emergency only calls at thge moment, can anyone help?

Try restoring it on another computer you have synced with. If you can't do this you will have to force it into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

HT1349 I bought a new iPhone last week and the charge is not working.

My charge is not working and the phone is new l bought it last week.

Are you using the adapter and cable that came with your iPhone? Try connecting it to another device or wall outlet.
Also, try the ideas here -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Power/Battery
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.

IPhone shows LTE and 4G, but internet not working ?

I got a new iPhone 6 on Friday. After restoring my iPhone from my previous 4S backup (created Thursday before getting the new phone Friday) the phone was working great with the exception of the data. The text and phone calls are working fine. The strangest thing is that the phone says LTE or 4G (if I turn the LTE off), but the data is not working.
Today, after resetting my network settings and getting a new SIM from AT&T I still couldn't get the data working. The only solution I've found was setting up my iPhone as new. When I setup the iPhone as new the data works perfectly fine.
Is this a common issue? Any insight would be gladly appreciated!
I'm on AT&T. iPhone 6 128GB, purchased from Apple.com.
UPDATE: I found that yesterday my phones text messages were also not working when I was not connected to WiFi. I talked to an Apple rep yesterday as well and he said that if I set it up as a new phone and it was working then something is wrong with my backup.
iPhone 6, iOS 8

We went through the efelix help notes ((through a
link someone posted already)) and already did the WEP
security settings for XP.
The efelix website is my website (it's a mirror of the ifelix website)
The signal has been fading in and out. Is it possible
that the PC is confused by a signal from the base
station and a signal from the express?
Yes this is possible when using WDS as the client connects to the main station and then connects to the remote.
On the main base station turn off allow wireless clients to connect to this base station, so that clients only connect to the remote base station.

Iphone 4 updated and now imessage is not working

I upgraded my iphone 4 to os6 and since then have had nothing but problems with sending imessages. will not go through, then only goes as a text message. Any ideas? Turned off phone, turned off imessage, etc.

cjb85,
I appreciate you trying to reboot your tablet to resolve the issue. It is very odd that this issue began after the update. Have you tried resetting your network settings? Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network settings. Do you only get the network connection error when trying to log into iTunes?

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker so I can listen to my music and games. Is it hardware or software problem?

I was told by a friend that sometimes when you use a 3rd party charger that the connectors are not the same size and so it can affect the sensors in the phone and make it seem like it is in a docking station and so changes the output for dock speakers. With that said, I didn't take my pohone in to be serviced at the appple store because it was a 3GS and over 2 years old and so not covered by any service plan. Since then my phone is back to normal and I can use my headphones and listen with the speakers on the phone. I stoped using the suspected cheap 3rd party charger and maybe that's what did it, but not sure if it was or wasn't the cause of my problem. I'm glad that my phone is better I was kinda holding out for the Iphone 5 when i comes out later and hope my phone lasted until then.

Wifi Sync not working on iOS 6 and iTunes 10.7 with iPhone 4S

I am running Windows 7 64-bit but WiFi Sync is not working on either my iPhone 4S or my wife's iPhone 4S. Worked fine before upgrading. All settings look correct in iTunes 10.7 and on our iPhones 4S's. Already tried uninstalling iTunes and all associated Apple programs (Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, etc) and reinstalling iTunes but no help. Temporarily disabling Norton Firewall did not help. If I hook up either of our two 4S phones via USB wire, they Sync and Backup fine. Just WiFi Sync not working. Can't initiate sync from iPhones because button is ghosted stating it is waiting for PC to be present. Phones don't show up under Devices in iTunes unless hard-wired via USB cable. Any suggestions?

I am getting sync issues too (although on OSX) - seems like others are getting issues too:

ITunes on my iMac seems to think my iPhone is connected and tries to sync even even when it is not.

iTunes on my iMac seems to think my wife's iPhone is connected and tries to sync even even when it is not. This has been going on for a couple of years now and I am finally trying to stop it. I launch iTunes manually to sync any number of devices we have in the household and, at least every third time I launch iTunes, it pops up my wife's iPhone and start spinning around as if it is connected and syncing but it is not. This happened to me today when my wife and her iPhone were not even in the house or even the same city for that matter! Oddly, she recently (finally) upgraded from an iPhone 3 to a 5 assuming that would finally stop it but it just kept on happening. Anyone have any idea how to stop this? Thanks!

You might start with:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the above reveals nothing helpful, then create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Do the problems cease?
