IPhone will not charge when plugged into computer

My phone was not working, and so I took it to the apple store nearby. Here were the problems:
-error message saying "this device not made to work with iPhone"
-would not charge when plugged into computer OR wall charger
-person on other end of phone calls said i sounded really far away and had trouble hearing me
-when i shut it off, it restarts itself immediately
-cant do a manual reset holding the power and center buttons at same time
-when plugged into the computer, mouse freezes, and a message appears saying ""power surge on hub port A usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
At the genuis bar they told me they cant help me cause that little water damage indicator inside the headphone hole is pink instead of white! I have never ever ever ever ever EVER gotten my phone directly wet. The only thing i could think of was the humidity in the bathroom when I'm taking a shower, and using the timer to use hair remover on my legs lol. But i think this is totally unfair, they wont repair my phone, or even really look at it because of this supposed water damage. My phone has worked fine up to this point, and the thing that happened that started all of this is when i dropped it about a foot off the ground in a DRY parking lot.
Is there any way they will replace my iphone at no charge?

Well don't give up try again maybe your luck will change when you go back up there,let somebody else look at your phone not the same person that told you that.I would get a second and a 3rd option about my phone.When you go back don't even tell them what somebody already told you up there ones.
And after the 3rd time I'll ask them well can they send your phone off to be fixed,It might not be nothing wrong with your phone it might be just they eyes playing tricks on them.Cause I promise you I know my phone had gotten some water in it cause I was sitting on the porch one day me and about 6 other people one of my cousin came out and through a bucket of water at my brother and I was sitting right on the side of him.And when I say my phone look like I than gave it a bath witch when they did that I had already had call the Apple store and told them something was wrong with my phone.And they had gave me appt to come up there,so I went to the Apple store I wanted say two day's latter after I made the appt to let them see my phone but my cousin and brother was playing with that water the day before I had to go so I guess that's why I was mad cause I was going to get other phone the next day after apple look at my old phone.So even with all that they still gave me other phone and I don't see how I didn't have no water in my phone cause of how much water they had through on my phone.
I guess I was luck cause if they would have told me that I would have freaked out so badly.And the reason why cause I wouldn't had my phone for five days and for them to tell me they couldn't do something oh yea they would have done something cause I would have went to jail that day for tearing up something in the store that worth my 400 and something dollars I spent on my phone and it would have bent one of them computer that would have bent history.
But I'M telling you,you going to be okay don't give up.Make you other appt and see what they say.

  • My new iPad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. Any suggestions?

    my new ipad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. What should I try?

    Does the charger get warm at all? Plug the cable into your computer with iTunes open. Does it say not charging.? If it does, the cable is good. The iPad will charge very slowly when pluged into your computer.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W 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

    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.

  • My phone will not charge when plugged into charger

    Anybody have a solution when your iphone will charge charge

    If the iPhone does not charge when connected to your computer either, the problem is with the cable being used or with the iPhone. If when using the power adaptor only, the problem is with the power adaptor.

  • Iphone 4s will not charge when plugged into imac

    For a while now, my iphone 4s will not stay connected to the iMac.  It will register when I plug it in to the USB port, but after a minute it will just drop connection.  I tried to backup it into iTunes but it kicks me out when the connection is lost.  Any suggestions?

    if your issue is not being solved even after trying with different usb ports or a different cable just follow this process..
    when your device is plugged to your imac it asks you whether to Trust your computer or Dont trust ->you just click on trust then it starts supporting
    or else you can look at this iOS: 'Trust This Computer' alert

  • I have had my ipad for 6 months. We had a power failure and ever since my ipad will not charge with the wall adapter that came with it.  It will SLOWLY charge when plugged into computer port. Can anyone help me resolve this?

    I have had my iPad for 6 months.  We recently had a power outage and my iPad was plugged in with the adapter that came with it.  Since then I can not charge iPad with adapter, however I can charge it SLOWLY on my computer.  Do you think the adapter got fried?  Also do you HAVE to have iTunes with an iPad, they were charging me alot of fees for games I did not download NOR give my password to have them downloaded so I cancelled iTunes because fo too many fees. Could this have anyting to do with the battery not charging?

    Since then I can not charge iPad with adapter, however I can charge it SLOWLY on my computer. 
    Well, something's definitely wrong if it won't charge from a wall outlet. Make an appointment at a Genius Bar or take it to an Apple certified repair provider.
    As for iTunes charges, according to Apple  iTunes Store: All Sales Are Final
    You can try contacting iTunes Billing:

  • Iphone will not charge unless plugged into a speaker dock

    Hi, my iphone charged as normall over night at a friends house by plugging it into a speaker dock. Today it wont charge via a plug and wont connect to my laptop. The speaker i have at home has old hardware and is not compatible with my iphone for charging but it will connect and play music. I dont understand why my iphone 4 wont charge via usb but can still connect to a speaker dock and play music. (i have tried my cables with other iphones so i know its not the cables and i have tried re-starting and removing sim card)
    Thanks for any help anyone can give,
    Jack

    Charging via USB and playing music via USB are seperate functions and not mutually exclusive.
    The SIM card has nothing to do with this.
    Any difference when connected to the power adaptor?

  • IPod will not update when plugged into computer?

    Just recently my iPod with not update when I plug it into my computer. My iPod does not show up on my Mac or my iTunes. When I plug it in the screen shows the do not disconnect sign. I have tried to reset my iPod and checked for new updates, but they haven't worked. If anyone knows what to do that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes. Since I installed the new system software (10.4.6) update Sunday night, I cannot update any of my iPods except the iPod video. The iPods also do not show up on my desktop. The battery charges but that's all that happens.

  • IPod nano will not charge when plugged into a computer, or power adapter

    This is an 8gb iPod nano 4th gen. Today, I was playing it on the stereo, and it ran out of juice, so i plugged it into my computer to charge. It would flash the "Connect to Power" screen, then turn off, then turn on, showing the apple logo, a few seconds later it goes to the main screen. Almost immediately, it shows the "Connect to Power" screen again, and turns off. This cycle just repeats over and over again.
    I have tried two different usb cord, and all of the ports on my iMac, in addition to a AC adapter/charger. Each time warranted the same results. I have tried the menu + center button reset multiple times, but to no avail. I would reformat it, but alas, neither itunes nor finder will recognize it.

    Sounds like a dock connector problem on the Nano, check it and make sure there is not debris, lint, etc. and clean it if there is. Also, check for bent/damaged pins.

  • IPod Touch not recognized by iTunes and not charging when plugged into computer

    I plugged in my iPod touch to my Mac computer. My iPod doesn't charge and iTunes isn't recognizing it. I have turned my iPod on/off, I have reset it, I have the newest version of iTunes, and I restarted my computer. Nothing has helped. What do I do?

    Did it sync to the computer before?
    What model iPod do you have and what iOS is installed?
    Your post states that your have OSX 10.4.11. If you updated the iOS on your iPod on another computer your computer may not recognize the iPod.  The newer iOS require 10.5.8 or higher.

  • My phone will not charge when plugged in. It doesn't show the charge bar as green

    My phone will not charge when plugged in. It doesn't show the charge bar as green

    Hello alleyfun
    For issues with your iPhone not charging, check out the troubleshooting below to see if you can get it sorted out and working again.
    iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1463
    Resolving issues
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
      Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector. 
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Regards,

  • My original Ipod 30gb will not charge when plugged in (suspect battery completely dead...). Help

    My orignal 30gb ipod will not charge when plugged in to a power socket. I think the battery has completely run down. Any thoughts?

    Which model is this iPod.  The "original" iPod was 5GB or 10GB, so this must be a 3rd gen iPod, at the earliest.  This document shows all the iPod models.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1353
    If it's a 3rd gen iPod, it has a dock connector, but it needs to be connected to a FireWire port to charge.  It does not charge from a USB port.

  • My notebook will not charge when plugged in

    My notebook will not charge when plugged in & now will not work at all.  Do you think I need a new battery?

    Battery information is found in SYSTEM PROFILER>HARDWARE>POWER.
    Sometimes the power adapter does not show the light but is still functioning.  (that often the case with mine)  If on the menu bar the icon shows that it is charging, your ok.  If not, I jiggle the connector or snap it and that restores the connection.  If neither works, make certain the the connectors are clean, both on the adapter and the MBP.  Check to see if any of the posts are bent or missing. 
    If still no success, try another adapter if available.  If that does not work, the are issues with the MBP.  If it does, a new will be the answer.
    Ciao.
