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.
open competition = innovation = opportunities to capitalize and make money
closed market (by your hurdles) = no competition = less innovation, little device improvement (a2dp bluetooth anyone?) = ****** off non-repeat customers = BAD PR
HOW CAN I MAKE MY IPONE WORK WITH MY IHOME DOCK AGAIN? IT WORKED and CHARGED BEFORE I UPGRADED TO FIRMWARE 2.1

  • 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.

  • Why does my iPhone 5c only charge with certain chargers ?

    My phone 5c only charges with certain iPhone 5 chargers. My charger broke and I bought a new original apple charger but it didn't work. The charger functioned fine with my friends iPhone but not with mine, I plugged my phone to her charger and it charged fine ? This is happening with my cousins iPod as well. What's the problem ?

    Probably dirt or pocket lint in the Lightning connector on the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a wood or plastic toothpick.

    Since there's no one side on a lightning cable, make an appointment with genius bar for an evaluation.

    Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.

  • Why does my 3rd gen ipad only charge with an iPhone charger and not the 10w charger it came with?

    Im only asking this because it's annoying me , but my 3rd gem ipad will not charge with its 10w charger ? It will happily charge with my iPhone charger, and my iPhone will happily charge with the 10w charger but why won't the ipad charge with the charger it came with ? Any ideas ?

    The cable for your 10W charger may be defective.

  • IPhone 3G Compatability with iHome devices

    After downloading the newest update to the iPhone OS (4.1), my phone no longer charges from my iHome, which I use as an alarm clock. I can still play music from the device but I am not able to charge from this device. Does anyone have any idea if this is a setting that can be changed on the iPhone or if this is just an update error and when I might be able to expect a fix?

    there have been several reports about version 4.1 of the software not being compatible with iHome devices. Probably going to have to wait for an update and hope Apple fixes it.

  • Wil only charge with the cable supplied

    My new ipod 4th generation will only charge using the cable supplied ? it won't charge using my iphone 4 / 4S cable although the iphones will charge using the ipod cable, is this correct or do I have a faulty unit ?

    Something is amiss with either the dock connector on your iPod or less likely the dock connector end of the cable, Some slight abnormalities can cause your type of problem.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and cables(s) for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • 5th gen 80g only charges with fire wire

    Hi my 80 gig ipod did not work after not charging for a long time (it just said battery to low please wait then a blank screen) so i put a new battery in it came on all good but when i plugged it in my mac nothing happened (did not sync or charge) so i tried it in in a docking bay that charges but it did not charge but music came out of speakers so i reset it still nothing then i thought i try a different cable to mac (a old one a fire wire with usb as well) it worked with both connected so i restored it but it only works with both plugged in if i unplug the fire wire it still seen by my itunes by the usb and syncs but if i just plug the usb in nothing (on the same cable) until i plug the fire wire in and itunes opens

    I don't have the internet at the moment (and won't do for a while) so upgrading isn't an option - and you don't get a disc with the iTUnes software with video ipods it seems, so I can't upgrade my software that way. I just want to use my new ipod as soon as possible and was expecting to just be able to plug it into my computer and download without any problems.

  • My iPhone 3G charges with a charger, but not when connected via USB to my computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.

    Hello, my iPhone charges when I charge it with the wall plug but not when connected to a computer via USB and my iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone either. iTunes recognizes my iPod and iPad just fine. I have been to Apple iPhone support page and I have restarted my iPhone, the computer, tried different USB ports, etc. I have also tried my iPhone on different macs even with different versions of iTunes and no luck. This all started when I was cleaning out some lint from the usb connector, could I have damaged some part of the docking connection? But why does it charge with a wall plug then?

    I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.

  • My 16 gb ipod touch will only charge with the ac adaptor

    my ipod touch charges with my ac adaptor only, and no the usb charger. any ideas?

    Agreed about trying a different USB port. But, if your iTunes is recognizing your iPod from a given USB port, I would expect it would also charge from the port.

  • 8100 Pearl will ONLY charge with USB from Computer

    Is anyone else having this problem? The wall charger or car charger doesn't work at all. It only charges when I connect to my computer, and even then it takes all night since the Blackberry gives a message saying 'insufficient current.'
    I've tried several different wall-chargers but I don't get anything. What gives?

    I have the same problem.  I noticed a few days ago that my wall charger #1 was not working. So I used the car charger ok. Then I tried wall charger #2 and it didnt work either. I swapped the usb cable from the charger and that didnt work.  I then used that usb cable and plugged it in to the laptop and now the BB is being charged. It also charges with the car charger.
    If anyone has a solution please help!

  • 4th Gen Ipod only charges with power block

    I have 3 different 4th gen ipods, 2 of which will charge up when hooked to USB, firewire, and both my aftermarket Imode stereo and wireless car transmitter/charger.
    One of the 4th gen ipods I have will only change when hooked with a firewire cable to the power block. It will not charge in any other manner. Is this a problem with the circuitry inside the ipod or something else? The battery seems to hold its charge just fine otherwise.

    One of the 4th gen ipods I have will only change when hooked with a firewire cable
    Are you sure it is also a 4G iPod? A 3G iPod (does not have click wheel) can only charge using FireWire. If they are all identical looking 4G iPods (with click wheel), the one that does not change over USB probably has a problem with it's USB charging connection. You could try using the Restore button in iTunes, but it seems like a hardware issue.

  • Why won't my iPhone 6 charge with any other charger but the one it came with? please help!

    My iPhone 6 won't charge with any other charger, can anyone explain why?

    Make sure both the charger and connector are certified and that they are in good working order. Test them with another iPhone if possible. If the charger is working, then the problem might be the lighting connector port. Check and see if it is dirty. If not then there might be a hardware problem. Take the phone in to an Apple Store or authorized service provider for evaluation and possible replacement. Take the cable and charger as well.
