Is there aproblem with the lightning connector on the iPhone 5

Is there a problem with the lightning port on the iPhone 5

I would like to know as well.  My iPhone5 has informed me that the cable is not approved (but both the cable and power adaptor came with the iPhone5 itself) and it often just fails to charge the phone at all

  • The lightning connector for the iPod touch 5th Generation jiggles

    The lightning connector for the iPod touch 5th Generation jiggles just slightly up and down in the iPod itself. I think the lightning connector is slightly smaller than the port which is why it jiggles, but I am not sure. Can you guys confirm my theory, or did I damage it.
    Thanks for any help.

    Could be either.
    Try another cable
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT201269 Is there a right, and wrong way to plug the lightning connector into the phone?

    The lightning connector dosen't want to plug into the slot and I don't want to force it, ... is there a right and wrong way to do this bisic and simple step?  Thanks

    No, it is a reversible plug. Either way is fine.
    Just make sure you plug it in straight until it "clicks" into place. It may take a bit of force if new, but check there's nothing in the port first.

    Alternatively...
    is this what you're after?
    If so, have a look here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lightning-female-30-pin-Dock-Cable-Adapter/dp/B00DZN3GZK /ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_1

    Or google "lightning female to 30-pin dock male cable adaptor". The cruicial part is female lightning to male 30-pin ends.
    The Apple cable is a female 30-pin to male lightning end.

  • Lightning to 30 pin adapter with a lightning end is the same size as the cable that comes with the phone?

    Has anyone found a lightning to 30 pin adapter where the lightning end is the same size as the cable that comes with the phone?  I know there have been some non-apple versions, but I can't tell if they are the same as the Apple versions where the lightnin end is slightly bigger than the cabe that ships with the phone.  Most iPhone bumpers only accomodate the original charing cabe ad the adapter cable is just slighter bigger and doesnt fit.  Also, i'm not referring to the square, cable-less adapter.

    Depending on your caes I shaped mine carefully with a craft knife seems all the case manufacturers designed the cases for lightning cables but seemed blind to the adapter and it's likely use
    Have you not seen the Apple adapter with .2m cable between the  plugs

  • Are any radio/alarm clock docking stations with a lightning connector coming out soon?

    I've had the iPhone 5 for a while now, and I've been waiting for a product like the iHome to come out with the lightning connector.  However, I haven't heard or seen any news about this.  Is anybody aware of any products coming out?

    iHome already makes docks that support the Lightning connector:

  • Can we connect the ER-8 to a SC-2040 using one of the 50-pin connections on the ER-8 with the J11 connector on the SC-2040?

    We have an ER-8 with two 50-pin connections. One is for DIO-24 devices, one is for DIO-32 devices and we do not know which to use to connect to the SC-2040, or if we even can. Additionally, our DAQ is a PCI-MIO16-E-1 and we are currently using 14 channels for data acquistion. Is there room to run 4 channels of our ER-8? If not, can we run the 4 channels off of one input effectively making them one switch?

    To connect the SC-2040 and the ER-8 to the PCI-MIO-16E-1 you will need to use a SC-2050.
    You will connect the PCI-MIO-16E-1 to the SC-2050 J1 connector with an SH-6850 cable. Then use the J2 connector on the SC-2050 to connect to the SC-2040 and the digital connector to connect to the ER-8.

  • Has anyone ever experienced the situation where plugging in the USB connector to the charging source (high-power USB port or Apple charger) halfway, then pressing it in firmly, results in the iPad not charging?

    It's highly likely that there is a poor connection in the phone - either a pin in the dock connector or internal wiring harness.  No software fixes or "tricks" would work, but I would recommend restoring in iTunes, first using a backup and if needed restore as a new phone. 
    Otherwise, opening and repairing the phone takes some tech knowledge that can't be relayed here.  Apple doesn't repair phones other than replacing batteries (not inconceivable that you have a bad battery), but offers "out-of-warranty" replacement (refurb) phones for $149 (US).  3rd party iPhone repair centers may be able to fix it for less.  Google to find them,
    Tried soft and hard resets
    FYI, there's no such thing as "soft" or "hard" resets in iPhone terminology.  There is only one phone reset. You'll see those terms thrown around by technically ignorant posters, but they mean different things to different people and are actually archaic, 1980s PC terms that have nothing to do with iPhones.

  • When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone.  This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working, help!

    When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone.  This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working. help!

    I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
    Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider?  How is is at all relevant to Apple??  In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

  • My iPod is stuck on the USB connector towards the iTunes snd on cd, and I updated it and now it's saying my iPod has apasscode when it's still stuck on that USB screen... What do I do????

    My iPod is stuck on the USB connector towards the iTunes snd on cd, and I updated it and now it's saying my iPod has apasscode when it's still stuck on that USB screen... What do I do????

    you can do is go to ijailbreak.com then select downloads section.......scroll down and see the latest version of ipod touch second generation is available for download.....when it gets downloaded connect your iPod to itunes or keep it connected then hold option and click restore (mac) search the software by writing in search "iPod" a thing with white cube will show up if it is the file you just downloaded click it and wait for itunes to do its work......you can ask more if you are on windows

  • How can i install the web connector in the IWS for IAS SP3?

    i have installed the IAS 6.0 SP3 and IWS 6.0 on two different NT server. How do i install the web connector to the IWS. How can i access the IAS form the IWS. The IAS 6.0 SP3 Evaluation does not allow to install only the web connector componet. Pls advise

    Hi,
    Installing web server & app server on different machine and making them communicate is called "webless installation". Having web server & app server running on same system is called "webful installation".
    On a registered version, if you select CUSTOM INSTALL, then you would have a screen asking to install iDS and iAS. From the submenu of iAS, the web connector plugin has to be selected and this installation is done at the system where web server is running.
    But on your case, I believe the iAS SP3 evaluation has a restriction on that. Please feel free to raise any questions regarding this.
    Regards
    Raj

  • Are any automakers supplying built-in iphone 5 connectivity with full support of the Lightning connector

    Have any of the auto makers changed over from the 30-pin connector to the Lighning connector for built-in iPhone/iPod support?

    My 2010 Nissan Sentra works fine with an Apple 20 pin to Lightning adapter.

  • HT4101 I have used my SD card reader with the lightning connector just fine until this awful OS 7 update! Now nothing works and all I get while trying to load pictures from my SD card to my iPad is that my device is not supported!

    Anyone having the same problem with the new OS7? I can no longer load pictures from my SD card to my iPad using my adapter.

    Are the card readers apple ones or knockoffs? Unfortunately iOS7 brought with it software that looks for the authentication chip in  the cables and docks. If the manufacturer got permission from Apple to make devices then it should be fine, but if the manufacturer didn't get apple's permission then their chip isn't recognized, generating that error.
    If your connectors are Apple ones have you tried to reset your device? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds or so until your iPad reboots. Then try again.
