IPhone not charging, not recognized by computer

Last night I plugged my iPhone in via its USB cable and the AC adapter and nothing happened... I tried my iPod's cable and AC adapter and it started charging, but when I got up this morning, the battery was still about 25% and not charging. I don't know when it stopped working.
I tried the iPhone dock with the iPhone's cables and AC adapter, the dock with all the USBs on my computer, the USBs without the dock, and nothing. When I plug it in to the computer, a notification pops up that a USB device is found, and then one a few seconds later saying something has malfunctioned with the USB device and that windows does not recognize it. iTunes never opens.
I've restarted the phone and reset it. I have not updated to 2.0.
The phone plays through the inMotion speakers I have (connected via the dock and the "line out" cable), so I think the connector on the phone itself is ok since it's sending music through.... is the cable bad? I'm a little nervous since my battery is so low and I have no way of charging it. There isn't an Apple store anywhere around me so going there is out.
Please help

Had the same problem with my 2G. I fell asleep and left it playing the ipod all night, the next morning my phone was completly dead. That day I charged it for 10 hours, the battery indacator only showed 10%. I thought the battery was a goner. So I turned it off for 2 to 3 hours and when I turned it back on the battery was fully charged. Dont know if this helps you are not but you can try it.
Now I have a question. How can I uninstall an APP?

IPhone Not Charging While On A Call

My iPhone 3G (currently running 3.0) refuses to properly charge while I am on a call. I used to be able to talk and charge at the same time, but lately, it shows the 'charging' symbol for a while and then just switches to 'connected'. The first time it did this, I realized too late and was left with a long and boring commute to work.
I am quite sure it has nothing to do with the update to 3.0, because it started doing this a day or two before I made the upgrade.
I usually connect to my laptop when charging, but I also tried connecting via the wall charger, which resulted in the same problem. I don't think it's a problem with the cord I use; I tried it with my Dad's too and it does the same thing.
The moment I hang up, though, I am able to charge my phone with no interruptions. It continuously shows the charging symbol without randomly switching to just connected.
I have a habit of making long, long phone calls and I like to have a fully charged phone when I leave for work or whatever. Does anyone know what the problem is/might/could be and/or how I could fix it?
Thanks.
Note: I was unsure under which topic this issue would be most appropriate and decided this was the best one. Please don't flame me if I'm wrong.

I've noticed that while I'm streaming content on the 3G network my phone will not charge either.. Even while connected to my laptop it will not charge while streaming. I believe this may have to do with the 3G bandwidth.. Try making your calls while 3G is turned off.. I think it will charge simultaneously and I'm curious to know if this will make a difference.

IPhone not charging/syncing! Please help! :S

Hello everyone!
I have a big problem with my iPhone...
It is not charging anymore on both my dock and wall charger, and only on my UBL On Time iPod player. Therefore, I cannot sync my iPhone with my computer anymore :S...
This happened since this morning. I used my iPhone calculator app. and fell asleep while it was still on. I woke up later and my iPhone was boiling hot. Coincidence?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hey Allan Sampson,
I have tried:
- with dock (with 2 different docks)
- with just the cable from the dock (with 2 different cables)
- with iPod cables
- wall chargers
- with my iPod player connected to my computer (which is the only device that will charge my iPhone, but even connected to the computer, will not sync)
- different USB ports
(And the keyboard doesn't provide enough power for the iPhone to be recognized.)
I even went to an Apple store and tested on a few other iPod/iPhone players.
The guys there told me that maybe it was a pin problem, but they're not sure. And even if it was the case, they say they don't know where it can be fixed... They gave me an estimation price for a pin fix procedure of the equivalent of 200~250 US$.
I don't understand why it will charge on ONE iPod player that I have and nothing else.
Does that means I have to get another phone or what? That súcks...

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.

Help with iPhone not charging

TThe battery on my iPhone 4s will not charge-has been working fine. Any ideas?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
Can you try to use another USB cable?
Did you check the pins for any kind of damage and the port for any kind of lint or debris?
Are you using the adapter?

Iphone not charging from jaguar ipod dock in car

i have a jaguar x-type 2003 with the audio connectivity module added on. It has a dock connector. When I attach my iPhone, it prompts airplaneode and says it is an unsupported device. If I click no to airplane mode, it works through the stereo to listen to music. However, the iPhone does not charge while connected. My iPod does charge when connected. Any thoughts on why this would be? Others have experience with this unit? Any advice?
Thanks!

Reid Wainess,
There are differences between the iPhone and the iPod when it comes to accessories that provide power, or other functions.
I would recomend contacting Jaguar to see if they have certified the dock as "Works with iPhone", if they have, it should work, and could be an issue with the dock or the iPhone.
If they have not, then not being able to charge is one of the possible issues that may arise. This article gives more information on "Works with iPhone"

Iphone not charging or connecting.

Hi - wondered if anyone can help me.
My iphone will not recognise any cable that is connected to it - either from the mac or the wall socket - it will not charge either. there is 20% battery warning when I turn it on as it's gone flat.
I have reset, restarted flicked the mute button etc.
Oddly when the phone is switched off if I connect it to the wall socket it turns itself on - but then nothing - no charging - nothing.
Anyone have any ideas?
Billy

Look for a bent pin...use a magnifying glass...look closely...it doesn't take much to create the situation you're in. If its not that, then most likely your dock connector is bad...an Apple store can confirm. If under warranty, they will most likely replace your phone. If out of warranty, they have an out of warranty replacement program, cost is $199.

IPhone not charging in bose soundock, why?

Have you checked Bose's technical specs? their support website?

Iphone not charging or connecting to mac or PC

I have a new iphone 3GS. It worked perfectly for 3 weeks then I got a message that I had a USB power problem on my Notebook. For 4 hours I could not connect to the notebook and later when I went to charge it on the mains itwould not charge either. However, just before I went to sleep I tried to charge from the mains again and it worked. On waking up the battery was down to 30% and not charging. For 8 hours I could not connect or charge, then for no reason it connected to my notebook and charged fully. When I got home however again it would not charge or connect to my imac, notebook, mophie or mains. Tried later and all worked so recharged. When I disconnected, it wouild not reconnect to Imac at first, but after 4 or 5 attempts it did fine. Next day at work it will not charge again or connect. Any ideas of the problem and solution?

Yes, I tried four different cables and two different computers. Electrical charger is also not working.

Why, all of a sudden, will my iPhone not charge?

My iPhone has been working fine but all of a sudden it will not charge. Not with the USB charger, not with the wall charger, not with a docking station.....help please!!

Just a hunch. You seemed to have tried quite a few of the alternatives that I would normally have thought of. The first troubleshooting thing always mentioned is to reset then restore from back and then restore as new. Also the knowledge base article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802 mentions all of th ethings you tried so I thought I might suggest a reset, it can't hurt.

Iphone not charging and dying

Hello, I have the Iphone 3G, I got it a few months ago. I was just wondering if anybody knows why it is not charging and it died. I tried multiple chargers and it still will not charge and won't turn on, someone please help me!!!

Hey,
According to me first you check your lightning cable becouse with the lightning cable there is issue of peeling out than the cable is working some time or not working some time. you can check you lightning cable from the lightning connectors side and also from USB side. if your cable is peeling out the replace your cable and that is not peeling out that you can go with the Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

Vista does not recognize my iPhone / Not charging

Two problems:
1. Extemely slow charging:
- I've had my iPhone plugged in to the wall all night. The battery meter only shows 20% power.
- When charging from my computer or the mains, the charge icon does not appear.
- I've tried charging off my laptop, desktop and the mains.
- I've tried using the cradle and just the usb cable by itself.
2. Widows does not recognize my iPhone:
- I have Vista 32bit
- I have tried multiple USB ports, all of which work with other devices
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 10 times now
- I have restarted iPhone and my PC many times now
When I start the machine, this is the sequence of events:
1. I get a message saying:
"Windows needs to install driver software for you Unknown Device"
2. I get a message saying:
"Installing device driver software"
3. I get a message saying:
"Windows couldn't find driver software for your device"
- I click on "check for a solution"
4. Then it tells me:
"Windows Vista does not support midiport device"
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO COMPLETELY CRAZY!!!

The failure to charge sounds like a defective cable. Check this first.
If you are running 64 bit Vista it will not work with the iPhone.
If you are running 32 bit Vista make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (7.5). The reboot the phone - hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears (about 8 seconds).
Here's a tech note on resolving this type of problem:
