Lightning cable loose  - does not stay in phone port- cannot charge

lightning cable is loose right out of the box - does not stay in phone port - cannot charge it. Any ideas?

Malcolm may be correct. But maybe something simple is stuck in the port. Take a clean toothpick and gently make sure nothing is blocking.

  • Why did you change the ipad to that crappy lightning cord.it does not stay plugged in to ipad to use it on ac power the cords short and overheat damaging the charger units. please change back to the old style.in this case newer is definately not better

    anyone else think the lightning cord as a piece of garbage

    I agree. It's much better than the old one.
    If your have a problem with something overheating, that's not normal. You should take the charger, cable and iPad to the nearest Apple Store. Is the charger an Apple charger or a third party one? Many of the third party chargers are badly made.

  • Aol email password does not stay in phone

    Aol works now for about 5 minutes on my phone after I delete and reinstall.  I get the following email from Verizon;
    Your account [email protected] could not be authenticated. If you have recently changed your email password, please enter the most current password in settings to continue receiving emails.
    Bought the phone in October and it worked fine up until 3 months ago.  About every week or so I would get the above email and would reconfigure the account and it would get emails for about a week.  Now it only takes a few minutes to get the email and for the phone to stop receiving AOL.
    The entered password is correct.  We have not changed it.
    My wife and sons have the same phone and have no problems accessing the account
    Spoke to Verizon support yesterday and they said they were not sure what was going on and we did a hard reset and the problem still exists.
    Spoke to Best Buy Samsung experience rep who said the problem is that only one phone can access aol.  Why did it work for 2 years with the older phones and for 6 months with the new?
    I really use this email a lot now to communicate with teams I coordinate.  Anyone have a solution?  Thanks

    Have you removed that AOL account from the list....and tried to set up it from scratch ?
    Looks like the internal AOL database files have been corrupted., and needs be removed completely from your s3.
    Aside from a total Phone reset..this is how I solved this on different droid devices.:
    1.) Clean your AOL Email CACHE out completely,on the settings..app. menu, .. Before removing your AOL acct and settings. SHUT cel off completely and do a hard reboot.
    2.) And...From your  AOL.9.5 User  master account, CHANGE your AOL PW from  via a   PC ..THEN set up your AOL acct. on  your Cel phone with the new sign in PW.
    Re-do the AOL acct, as per your Droid's recommended procedure. ...only on the 3/4g  VZW  network. .Don' t do it on a WiFi .
    I try  to stay FAR away from the AOL app.like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aol.mobile.aim&hl=en

  • My iphone 5 is frozen on the screen that shows a cable and itunes symbol.  I can not get the phone to enter DFU mode and itunes does not recognize the phone when plugged in to itunes.  The phone was mid update when it was disrupted....

    I plugged my iphone in to do an update and it was mid way through the update when the phone was accidentally disconnected.  Now the phone is stuck on the screen that shows a cable and the iTunes image suggesting the phone needs to be plugged in to iTunes.  I have plugged it in, powered on and off, attempted to enter DFU mode numerous times all with no success.  ITunes does not recognize the phone and I continue to only receive the screen saying I need to plug in to iTunes..  Please help!

    Hold Sleep Button with Home Button toghether until it restarts Always it takes 8 to 15 seconds, after it restarts leave the sleep button and remember do not leave the home button it automaticlly switches to DFU mode.

  • My phone crashed and has an icon showing a usb cable and the itunes emblem. when I connect to itunes it does not recognize my phone and treats it as just iphone. when I try to restore about 9 to 10 minutes into the restore the phone turns off and then on

    My phone crashed and has an icon showing a usb cable and the itunes emblem. when I connect to itunes it does not recognize my phone and treats it as just iphone. when I try to restore about 9 to 10 minutes into the restore the phone turns off and then on and then loses the connection with itunes and at the end of the download it just asks me to restore it again.

    Be prepared to lose everything on your iPhone but it should be backed up in iTunes so you can restore from your backup.

  • Iphone 4 does not stay connected to my network

    Since upgrading to 6.1, my iPhone 4 does not stay connected to my network.  I have to input my password each time I leave my house.  My other devices stay connected, so the issue is with the upgrade.  Has anyone found a way to keep their IPhone connected to their network?  Thanks.

    I don't have another phone to try. I took out the sim to check for deffects but it looked fine. Cleaned the sim card with alcohol and cleaned the aim compartment. Phone didn't loose Internet connection all day yesterday, but this morning went to check emails and wouldn't update until I turned airplane mode on then off again.

  • Iphone does not stay connected to wi-fi.

    When using apps or when in sleep mode my iphone does not stay connected to my wi-fi. All other items within the house have no issues with staying connected to my wi-fi.

    By design, when entering sleep mode, the iPhone will disconnect from WiFi to conserve battery. If you want the WiFi connection to remain persistent, plug your phone into a power source.

  • WiFi Password does not stay!

    No problem at my home network.
    However, whenever I'm at my work WiFi and turn the iPhone on, a pop up comes to fill in the WiFi passowrd. However, I can not put it in because it does not stay. So I have to go to pref -> network and put it in there, then it works until I put the phone in standby mode. Waking up from standby mode the same issue starts!
    Any idea? Original iPhone, 2.2

    I suggest try forgetting this network.
    Select the network to view the network settings and at the top is a Forget this Network option.
    Follow this by reconnecting to the network.
    If this doesn't work, there is Reset Network Settings option at Settings > General > Reset.
    This will erase all wi-fi network settings from your iPhone.

  • Iphone voice memos does not stay open

    iphone voice memos does not stay open

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still?!

    When I open my MacBook Air the keyboard comes up along with the screen and does not stay still. So I need to hold down the keyboard while i open it. Other than that it works fine despite the fact that the fan noise some times is loud and sometimes it's getting warm at the base. I wonder if this can be fixed if i go to one of the apple branches.

    Yes. Take the computer to the Apple store to have it fixed.
