Iphone freaked out/wont charge

Last night my phone was fine. I woke up today, noticing a notice came up that i had an accessory installed that the iphone couldnt understand and asked me to go into plane mode. The only thing that was connected was my usb charger. So i unplugged it and said ok. But the message kept coming up every minute or so for a few hours.
Finally it stopped but now the phone will not charge. I plugged it into my mac and
1. The phone is not charging. NO lightning bolt or battery screen or anything.
2. Mac does not see the iphone. Usually itunes comes up but nothing happens. I check itunes and it is not listed on the left side.
I also plugged it into a wall outlet with the same result.
Im using a iphone 3G.

Back it up and make an appointment to have it looked at at the Genius bar at a nearby Apple store.

Whilst downloading a movie, my iPhone ran out of charge. Since recharging the "processing" bar has frozen. How can I delete or complete the download?

I called Apple and spoke with a customer service representative regarding this issue. I was given the two things to try, and if they don't work, I was told I can call back in:
1. Go to iCloud.com and look at the advanced options. Since Photos can be deleted here, the representative thought there may be an option to remove songs here as well.
2. Go into the library that has the songs that were deleted and click Update iTunes match.
I tried #1--this didn't resolve the issue, as there is no option to remove songs this way. I can't try #2 right now since I'm at work, but if anybody else with this issue can try that step it can help us get the ball rolling on it. After I try that, I'll call Apple back to discuss this further.

Iphone 3gs, it wont charge

I have an Iphone 3gs it wont charge and I am not sure if it is the battery or the docking port that is the problem. When I try to charge it the battery symbol appears on the screen but it just wont charge. I have tried different chargers and docks, and none of them work so it is defenatly the phone that is the problem. However I cant get it fixed until I know if its the battery that needs replacing or the phones docking componenet. I would be really greatful if any one can give me any advice on this!
Thanks guys x

Bring it in to an Apple store. They can do battery diagnostics. If the battery needs replacement, you can have it replaced.

IPhone 3GS 16gb wont charge after everything i try.

It wont charge no matter what i try? the battery is completely dead and it shows the please connect to electricity symbol. but when i plug in it doesnt work i have tried multiple chargers also.. any help?

I have the same problem. I notice that much like others using iOS 5 my battery drained very quickly, but once it became completely drained it would no longer charged. I have tried different usb cables, different wall charging blocks, different computers..nothing happens. I've left it plugged into a power source overnight, but it remained dead the next day. My 32gb 3GS has been like this for 4 days now and the screen with very low red battery and the (plug --> charge) symbols undernearth no longer appears when i press/hold the lock button. The screen remains completely black and the phone is unresponsive.
Nothing seems to work and no one online seems to have a solution.
Is your phone still showing the screen to connect to power after a week?

Iphone/ipad 2 wont charge

for about a week now, neither iphone (we have two) or my ipad two will charge. when pulled in to charge it says something like "accessery not supported". my husbands charger is a walmart store bought, while my phone and ipad are pulled into my mac laptop or a apple charger. we are able to get intermintent charging but. its like stand on your head, hold one ear load and do a dance to get it to work.

A little history first. When I first got my iPhone 3GS it changed with everything, my iMac and a variety of chargers including an iHome I got for a present. Around the time I uploaded a firmware patch to the iPhone, the one that corrected the signal strength meter for cell reception, I started getting warnings about being plugged into an unsupported charger. At first they were intermittent and I didn't pay them serious attention because unplugging & plugging the iPhone back in usually resolved the issue. Unfortunately it got progressively worse. I would get the message every time and I could only get the iPhone charged by leaving it plugged into the fairly new iHome almost all the time. I had tried everything including cleaning the contacts, blowing air on the contacts, resetting the iPhone, powering it on & off, everything. I finally decided to try one more thing. Since most of my chargers were at least a year old, with the exception of the iHome, I decided to buy a new charger. Not just any charger but one rated to charge the iPad. Well it worked. I got the unsupported charger message the first time I plugged it into the new charger but I just unplugged it and plugged it back in again & haven't seen it again as long as I'm plugged into the new charger and it's been 3 weeks. The curious thing is that the iPhone will now charge on the iHome OK & I only see the message intermittently now. The iPhone also seems to charge a lot faster now than it used to when plugged into the new charger.
By the way, if anyone is interested the charger I'm using is the Griffin PowerDuo 10 watt charger for iPod, iPhone & iPad. It comes with both a wall & car charger & cable.

Iphone 4s battery wont charge. Wokeup yesterday morning and battery had not charged past 1%.. when i took it off charger it lasted all day.. died this evening and now NO charges will turn my phone on it staying in charging mode

- when i try to remove my iphone from the charger it immediately says it needs to be plugged in.. its been on 3 different charges for over an hour and it is currently connected to my laptop.. nothings happening yet.

Backup the iPhone to your computer via iTunes. Reset it to factory (complete reset in settings -> general menu). DO NOT RESTORE it just yet. Do a complete charge on it and see if this fixes it. If not, it is a hardware fault and needs to be fixed.

IPhone freaking out after restarts

Ok took a short video of the phone and what it is doing..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heSGyXo-tr4
It continues this behavior after a full factory reset but only after the phone has been turned off then back on. The display seems to work, it won't move from the loading screen via a single touch but only via a swipe motion. Once you can see the screen single touchs do what they are suppose to.
Thinking this phone is heading back to verizon tomorrow, just ***** had the phone for less then 2 hours.

That is a very nice video. Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off", let the iPhone restart itself.

IPhone 5s is not charging in my car USB port.

Hi everyone, I am new to posting here in the apple support community so please forgive me.
Last weekend I recently just purchased the iPhone 5s - my first iPhone (I have previously owned iPods, iTouch and the Macbook Pro; so I am familiar with Apple products). My car (Hyundai Accent 2012) has a USB port near the cigarette charging port, along with an aux cable port. My previous android phones were able to be charged using the appropriate cord through the USB port, as well as my iPods and iTouch. However, when I attempt to use the USB port, to charge my new iPhone 5s, it wont charge whatsoever. The lightning bolt, on the iPhone, will flicker and then finally I will get a pop up stating that the charging device is not supported by Apple. Is there any way that I can change this in my phone settings? Because, the car USB port has worked for other devices and iPods in the past. I have even used the same cord that came with the iPhone and it still does not work. So, I know it's not a cord issue.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thank you!

It's not working with my Hyundai either. Apple did something with the USB port when they came out with IOS7. It worked fine with IOS6. Now you have to sync your phone in the car using Bluetooth and the sound quality is horrible. They need to fix this!

My 3g wont charge intermittently

When its time to charge my iphone, the phone wont charge even though the charge icon appears in the upper right hand corner. I've tried using several different chargers & also rebooting my phone. Nothing seems to help. The battery will run down until the phone shuts off then eventually it starts charging again. Its happening almost every day now.

To reset the battery meter, Reset, hold together the Home and Power buttons for about 15 seconds, the iPhone will turn off itself and then restart. After this your battery meter is reset and should be more accurate. If still battery problems you can Restore the Firmware with iTunes. After this, if still battery problems, your battery may be worn out.

Using iphone line-out

A couple years ago I made a custom cable to go from the dock connector on my iPod to my car stereo. This utilized the line-out signal from the dock connector, which is the right level for input to the stereo (and higher quality, as it bypasses the headphone amplifier). The cable also charges the ipod when it is plugged in.
I was hoping that I could use this same cable with my iphone, but unfortunately when I plug it in the audio continues to play from the built-in speaker. It does charge, but no sound.
So, does anyone have any information on how to "turn on" the iphone line-out? I would guess I need to drive some pin on the dock connector, which will signal the iphone that an accessory is connected, but I have not been able to find any information about this. Are there any documents for developers designing devices for the iphone that might be able to answer this question?
Thanks,
Alex

SendStation has released a revised version of its PocketDock Line Out USB some time ago, which is now also compatible with the iPhone: Line Out + Sync & Charge via USB.

My iphone randomly turned off out of nowhere. I was getting dressed, my phone was working one minute then literally the next it syopped now it wont charge i cant turn it on however the phone is on cause i called it and it rang. What to do? help please. I tried putting it in DFU mode but my lock button doesnt work and my phone wont charge so i cant connect to itunes

There is no reason to put it in DFU mode, a reset should work. Although, without a working power button it is not possible to reset the device.
Sounds like it is time to replace the damaged device.

I had my iphone 5c in my lifeproof case in the water and when i took my phone out there was a few drops on it but i didnt worry about it, but now it wont charge at all except to 4% and then it stops and ive had it in rice for 8 days........WHAT DO I DO

It sounds like the LifeProof case may have leaked. Did you pay for the Waterproof protection? If so, you can file a claim with lifeproof, pay the deductable, and get a replacement.
If you didn't purchase the Waterproof guarantee, if you have Applecare Plus, $79.00 will get you a replacement. If you don't have AppleCare Plus, then this is a $269.00 replacement lesson.

Hi. My iPhone4 won't turn on unless it is in the charger. But when its in the charger it will not charge. If I take out the charger my iphone wont work.

I just want my phone to work and I do not understand why it wont charge and why it wont work without the charger.
