Iphone not charging with iHome or Sony clock radio

OK, a little off topic. My iphone charges fine with a wall outlet or USB port connected to my computer. I bought a Sony clock radio (iphone compatible) and the phone won't charge in the dock. I took it back and got an iHome model (again iphone compatible) and it won't change there either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Before you take it back, give iHome's service department a call and see if they have any suggestions.

  • IPhone only charging with ihome

    I recently updated my phone to ios7 and I didn't have any problems until now. I tried to plug my phone into the wall charger that I use every day, but it did nothing. I also tried to connect the USB chord to my computer and charge it that way, but again it did nothing. I tried changing the chord and plugging it into my old iPod. The wall charger charged my old iPod but not my iPhone, so I know it's not the charger itself. I then plugged my phone into my ihome, and it finally charged.
    I'm not sure why my phone will not charge with a wall charger...I never had a problem before ios7.
    Please help?

    Why should I have to buy ANOTHER new ihome that's compatible when mine worked just fine until I installed firmware 2.1, and 2.2 doesn't work either. Please apple fix your f*ng bug with this so it works with the older docks/hardware again. It worked before, there's absolutely no reason it can't work now. Get over your greed, stop the gorilla tactics of "this device wasn't made for your device" and start doing business with the rest of the world on a level playing field by producing quality products at REASONABLE prices.

    HOW CAN I MAKE MY IPONE WORK WITH MY IHOME DOCK AGAIN? IT WORKED and CHARGED BEFORE I UPGRADED TO FIRMWARE 2.1

  • Why does my iPhone not charge with the wall charger?

    i have recently purchased an iphone 4 (within the last month). it has charged via the wall charger at first but now, the wall charger does not work. it does charge by connecting the USB cable to my computer. is there any way i can get my wall charger working? or will i have to get a new one? thanks.

    Try a different wall socket - if you haven't already and/or try this.... reset the iPad
    Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. then try again.
    You could also try updating your software as I have no idea which version you are running on your iPad.

  • Sony clock-radio docking station not compitable after 2.2.1 upgarde

    After upgrading both my iPhones to 2.2.1, my Sony clock-radio docking station (icf-c1ipmk2)does not work with the iPhone anymore. The unit is made for iPhone and worked without any issues until the 2.2.1 upgrade.
    Now every time I place the iPhone in the docking station, I get the following message on the iPhone:
    "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone."
    With the option to start in Airplane mode.
    Is anyone else having the same issue? Is there any solution to this?

    Just FYI i have the next generation of Sony clock Radio ICF-CD3i(the round one with the pop out dock) and guess what "This accessorie not campatible with iPhone" though i can quite past the warning message then it works fine. The interesting part is i tried it out on another one at the shop at time of purchase and it worked fine. So long and short going to return it get another one see if that works. Just seems like Sony (Love there products not bagging them)need to put more work into working out the compatibility from their end

  • IPod touch not working with Sony clock radio.

    iPod 4th gen won't play music through new Sony clock radio.  It charges but won't play or control music.  Works with 2 iPhones tested but not touch.  Yes I am using the correct adapters, universal for iPod and the different ones for phones. 

    Does Sony say it will work with yur model iPod and iOS?
    Do the phones have the same iOS?
    Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
    Does the iPod sync and charge OK?
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Why iPhone 5 not charge with its own charger but will with iPhone 4 charger

    why iPhone 5 not charge with its own charger but will with iPhone 4 charger. Thanks to the member who posted that fix.

    It sounds to me like the charger that came with the iPhone 5 is defective, or the cable is if you've been switching the cables when you switch the chargers.
    Regards.

  • Dose anyone no how to fix my iphone it is not charging with my laptop

    hello do you no how to fix my iphone it is not charging with my laptop

    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.

  • IPhone not charging via USB

    I just got this weird problem today. I have a 2G iPhone running 2.2
    1. iPhone is not charging with the USB cable to my MacBook and not recognizing by iTunes, thus I can't sync anymore.
    2. I can use the same USB cable to charge the iTouch from my MacBook
    3. I can use the same USB vable to charge the iPhone charges via the wall adapter, so this can not be the USB cable.
    4. I can use the same USB cable for the iTouch and I see it in iTunes
    So, this is not the USB cable nor iTunes. However, if this is hardware issue with the iPhone with charging, how come I can charge it using the wall adapter??
    This is very very strange indeed. Would it help if I do a hard reset on the phone? If so, how do I do that as I can not find anything on hard reset in the manual.
    help!

    I have two USB cables, one for the iPhone and one for the iTouch. Both cables do not work for the iPhone but they work for the iTouch.
    Also, I can use both cables to charge the iPhone from the wall charger. My problem is the iPhone does not seem to charge with the same cable plugging into my MacBook and iTunes does not see the device.
    My last sync with iTunes was yesterday. This problem just started today. I did a hard reset on the iPhone, no luck.

  • New ipod touch will not charge with car stereo anymore

    I recently got an iPod Touch and when I plug it in to my car stereo it says that "charging is not supported with this accessory". I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that the new IPT do not charge with firewire.
    I'm having the same problem with a USB 2.0 extension cord I bought. this one I don't understand because it is supposed to be USB and not firewire. I've tried plugging that in to the wall with a usb wall charger but I get the same thing, so it's not an issue of there not being enough power.
    As far as my car is concerned, the cable has a regular ipod connection. I look up firewire to USB converters but they all have a female firewire (small odd shaped holes) connection, so I couldn't plug my cable in to it. Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this situation so that my ipod will charge while it is plugged in?

    You have identified a problem that has been around since the iPod touch came out (also effects the latest generation nanos). Go to your local big box store and by yourself a new charger that is compatible with the touch.

  • Ipad 4 not charging with the ORIGINAL Power adapter that came in the box. Can't charge my iPad. I plugged in on PC all night and has been charged to 7%

    Yesterday, as usual was going to charge my iPad, it was at 1%. Well, I took my ipad charger (original Apple official, I want to clarify that as a first step, I'm using the brand products than Apple) and plugged into an outlet ... The ipad began loading the first two minutes , then I got a notification telling me that the iPad could not charge with the charger.
    I was quite surprised by the announcement. I disconnected and reconnected it .... again, I received the same notification. Then I disconnected and tried it on another outlet ... anything, yet. then I tried it on another outlet and ipad started charging. but after a while I had the same notice, not paying attention to that. I left it charging and I removed roughly 25% that of fear for something to happen. also remembered that situation (made 2-3 months ago where the iPad was not charging but after waiting a while disconnected, reconnected it and loaded normally).
    so I decided to wait to re-connect the iPad to the outlet. This time, I plugged it into the outlet (fully discharged) at night and expected to find it loaded in the morning. But my surprise is that it still is off, it did not load anything.
    I Bought the iPad in December 2012. Do you think that my iPad is hurt?
    What can I do? Ay recommendation?
    Please, HELP ME!

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.  You may also want to swap out the cable, just to confirm or rule out that it's bad.
    If none of those fixes work, make the appointment at your apple store and have them check it out.

  • Will not charge with new cable

    I have an iPod classic 5th gen and it will not charge with any newer cables. Either apple or aftermarket. I have found it will charge when I hook up my Kensington battery pack and it charged with an older cable but I no longer have it. It's their something different about older units and charging accessories?

    There is no difference.  They are exactly the same. So it doesn't charge whether you plug it into an available USB port on your Mac or via a wall adapter?
    Have you check to make sure the iPod's dock connector port was clean and clear of any sort of debris and/or damage such as bent, broken, or corroded pins?
