IPhone Shows Depleting Red Battery And Lightning Icon When I Plug It in.

When I plugged in My iPhone 5 to charge it, it just shows the depleting red battery and the lightning icon. My iPhone will not charge at all !!! Please Help Me!

It could be as simple as a bad cable or a bad charger.  If you have another compatible charger and cable, or can borrow one from a friend, see if that solves the problem.  Many cheap non-Apple chargers and cables can also cause these problems.

    our devices dont show up in itunes anymore,and the only thing it will do is import the pictures and videos since we updated  to the new itunes

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

  • My ipad will not charge up. it just shows the red battery signal and then switches off

    my ipad will not charge up. it just shows the red battery signal and then switches off. The same charger succesfully charges other idas so i know it is no the charger that is faulty.Any suggestions

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

    BTW- Your profile shows you have iOS 6.1.4 installed. The max iOS for an iPad is 6.1.3. iOS 6.1.4 is for iPhones only.

  • My ipod shows a red battery, goes black and then sticks on to a white screen

    My daughters ipod touch 4th generation shows a red battery when plugged in...then turns black for a couple seconds to then turn to a blank white screen.  what can I do to get this hook up to itunes so that I can fix it?

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    and/or
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    i have iphone 5s which when i connect to import the pictures directly to my windows computer. a folder by the name of my phone appears in "My Computer" . when i open it, it shows the storage information and one icon to click on. when opened it shows a couple of folders to click upon to view pictures. when i open the pictures folder and delete all the pictures , even then a lots of unclickable windows icons remain
    i have attached the picture of that window's screenshot. plus when ever i try deleting them it says,
    please help!.. i shall be really thankful.
    iPhone 5s, iOS 8

    I have the same issue and it has to do with iOS 8.2
    Apple, please mend this ASAP. Really stupid change since iOS 8.1
    If you for some reason must have many different folder make sure that you put the newst photo in the last folder so one can easily find a photo when I don't want to copy all photos to, let' say, my friend computer.

    from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.

  • Ipad will not charge or turn on the screen shows the red battery only

    The ipad in question belonged to a friend of mine and it has never been dropped or damaged as long as he owned it. He did get it used from gamestop but there was not any visable damage. The ipad showed the red battery indicating it needed to be charged so I pluged it in for him a few hours later nothing I put it back on the charger over night the next day nothing. So thinking it was maybe the charger I took it home and charged it on mine which is for the ipad (iPad 3) and let it charge over night and it still did not have a charge. I tried holding down the home button and then the home button and the power button and nothing would happen. He has bought a new one but I am still wondering what went wrong with it, can any one tell me what happened or does anyone have an idea about it? Thanks a bunch and have a good day.

    If you've tried different chargers & different cables, next inspect the 30-pin connector on the bottom of the iPad. Dust likes to live in there and impede contact with the charge cable. Get a clean toothbrush (or similar) and brush out the port. Even if you don't see any visible dust/lint, do it anyways. Afterwards, blow it out as well. The connectors in the 30-pin connector are very small and even the tiniest bit of dust can cause improper contact. While you're at it, check/clean the 30-pin cable as well.

    Hi guys.Got a problem with my iPhone 5. I bought it in a shop 4 month ago. After I got a visitor with iOS 7 on his phone he would like to charge his phone with my Laptop and cable.But when he plugged it in it showed a message wich says: " This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this phone".
    How is this possible? I then phoned the shop and told them my problem. When I gave them the details I also found out that the imei No. in the iPhone is the same as on the original box. But the the Serial numbers are different. I already try the support centre but I’m over the 90 days.And there is no Apple Store in Namibia. I hope someone can help me here. Thanks, Ralfar

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

    Hi bubbles213,
    The best way to move information from one iOS device to another is to back up the device using iCloud or iTunes (or both), and then restoring the new device from it.  This article will walk you through the steps:

    Sounds like the iPhone is locked to the original Carrier
    and you are trying to use  a sim from another carrier
    and only that original  carrier can unlock the iPhone

  • My iPhone 4 registered 60% battery and two minutes later completely shut down

    My iPhone 4 registered 60% battery and two minutes later completely shut down, next day it said it had zero battery and turns back on after plugging in for a few minutes... what's going on?  I was using the maps application in the minutes before it shut down on me.

    Maybe it's just the battery percentage display that is messed up?  Have you done the recommended monthly or so drain the iPhone down to the point it shuts down and then charge to 100%, to recalibrate the readout?
