Lightning cable not working from both sides (not reversible)

Hi,
2 days ago I started to notice something... I was about to charge my iphone with the cable but I noticed that it wanst charging... I checked the usb ports from my computer and 2 wall adapters and sometimes it did charge and some did not, but then I fliped the lightning cable it did, what I mean is that if I plug the charging cable in the "right side" it does charge and gets recognized by iTunes, if i plug it with the "wrong side" it doesnt.
At this moment I dont know if the cable is the problem or the phone, because I only own one lightning cable. I`ll try to go to a apple store to check with another cables, but still i want to know if there is more people with this problem and if it has some kindo of solution.
my phone is 1 month old btw...
Saludos y disculpen mi ingles

I have the same problem with my iPhone 5. It started last week when I found out that the phone is not charging when connected. So I take out the cable and found out that the pins on the connector cable was black and have a burnt smell. I leave the phone for several minutes and tried to connect it again. I found out that cable only work on one side.
So I took some pictures and went to Apple online support to request for a new cable. I got a new cable and the problem still persists. Now I know that the problem is with the connector on the phone. I went to the Apple online support and request for a repair. I sent them the phone and they said that they put the repair on hold.
I telephoned the support centre asking why they put the work on hold, and they told me that the repair is not covered because the problem might be caused by liquid damage. I was pretty sure that it wasn't liquid damage because I believe I take extra good care of the £529 phone. The operator asked me to ask my insurance company (which I don't have) in case they cover that accident. The operator also told me that the repair cost, £152+VAT is cheaper than usual £170++VAT. It was very disappointing.
Pretty sure it wasn't liquid damage, I telephoned the support centre again, and this time the operator told me that it is because of accident and they don't cover it. She couldn't explain exactly what is the problem and connected me with a senior operator. The senior operator told me that the engineers think that it might be cause by liquid damage. Then I told her that I have pictures of the burnt cable. She let me send those pictures and they'll contact me again by tomorrow. So I still don't know what is the conditon of my claim.
So as a conclusion... The engineers think that the damage might be caused by liquid damage, but the term 'might' does mean that it 'might not' caused by liquid damage too. I have read other discussions telling that they found out that their cable has some corrosion on the pins even though there have not been any contact with liquid.

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4566785?start=0&tstart=0
It looks like that I'm not the only one with the problem. I think the lightning connector itself is prone to corrosion. So I think that it is a design flaw, and Apple should cover the repair cost. Now I can only wait.

[iPad Mini no Retina, iOS 7.0.4] Sound in only one side of earphone (no mic), but sound come from both sides when using FaceTime

Recently, I found with iPad Mini w/o Retina, iOS 7.0.4, the sound comes only from left side of my earphone when listening music, watching YouTube videos, even playing system sound. But the sound come from both sides when using FaceTime.
Earphone is not broken. Plug completely into the audio jack. This problem only shows up recently, worked fine weeks ago.
Anyone has the same problem? Or has some solution on this issue?

Not getting sound from both sides of head phones

Have tried head phones in other players they work fine but my nano is only playing on one side , also when I insert or remove head phone jack puts my nano into pause mode ? any sugggestions ??

The iPod is designed to go into pause mode when the headphones get pulled out of it. I guess it's so when you are moving around, and by accident you rip the headphones out, it'll pause the song, so that when you re-connect, you get to go back to where you were.
Is the inside of where yoiu put the headphone plug in your ipod all gumed up, and dirty?
Have you tried using other headphones on your ipod?
Some songs are only 1 sided, meaning that they come out of one side of a headphone. Although this is probably not the problem.
Has your ipod ever fully worked, with both headphones working? If not, the ipod may be shot, and you might want to send it in for repair.

Lightning cable only works thru charger not computer

My problem is that the cable only works thrugh the wall charger
I cannot connect via computer or stereo. This only happened last week
the iphone is only a month old and the cable has been(in my eyes)well looked after
I'm guessing I need a new cable. the conectors look in good condition and I can't see any "gunk" in the phone socket
Any further insights greatly appreciated

Are you getting a message on your device saying that the cable isn't certified? I have an iFrogz cable for my iPhone 6+ that suddenly last week stopped working. It is Apple-Certified at least when I purchased it. I have contacted iFrogz asking them what changed but I am waiting to hear from them. So it might be a similar situation that I am experiencing. My original cable works fine.

Genuine Apple Lightning Cable not recognized...

I'm using an iPad mini, running iOS 7.0.6, and plugged directly into AC power with an Apple 2 meter charging cable, purchased @ the Apple Store. I am being driven crazy by the intermittent beeping of the iPad mini until it finally tells me the accessory is not supported. Fortunately, the charging continues, but all this beeping and booping and the failure of the iPad to recognize a legitimate accessory is nutso. I have cleaned the connector more than once, yet the problem continues. Sometimes if I turn the connector around it will stop, other times not.
As I never used any Apple device prior to the release of iOS 7, I can't comment on timing, but I have my suspicions that this is a software issue.

Yes, I should have mentioned that; the Apple 2m lightning cable is plugged into the Apple square charger that came with the iPad mini. That is plugged directly into AC power.
I updated iOS to 7.1 this week; the problem continues.

Lightning cable not charging sometimes

Hi I have a 5th gen iPod touch which is 10 months old, the lightning cable is the original that came with the iPod.
I've notice the rubber kind of swelling or bunching up me the lightning plug and now it doesn't seem to charge my iPod unless its moved around ( almost like there's a loose wire.
How do I go about getting it replaced? I live in a very small town where there is no apple store or Genius Bar.
Thanks in advance for any and all of your help.

Start your support request online and we'll connect you to an expert.

If the cable has not been abused, Apple will exchange it at no cost.. If the process asks you to enter the serial number. enter the SN for the iPod since the cable does not have a SN.

How can I create a horizontal scrollbar with a centered thumb that scrolls content from both sides?

I am having trouble figuring out how to create a horizontal scrollbar component either by itself or nested inside a data list component that will have it's thumb centered in the track when running and reveal content from either the right or left side when the thumb is moved. The furthest I have managed to get is to create a data list component with a scrollbar component inside that has a centered thumb that reveals content from the right side of the list (0 through 10 of the items) but only reveals blank area when tracking the other way. Is there a way to create say… negative items in the data list… 0 through -10? Or am I approaching this the wrong way. Please help. Thanks.

Mykola,
Thanks. I guess I was hoping for an answer that addressed my question from a designer's point of view rather than a developers'. As a designer with over ten years experience using Adobe products for print work it is difficult to understand why "centered" is such a complicated concept when designing art for use on the web. It is so frustrating to realize that most containers for images and text can only be resized by pushing and pulling handles located on the right and bottom; Catalyst seems like a great start but if Adobe really wanted to impress the "design" community it might consider putting all that supercharged code underneath the hood of some more familiar "design" tools. Maybe a "catalytic converter" would allow the introduction of a "centered" tool for every element.
After all, why is it literally twenty-five times more difficult, requiring the use of three additional programs to create a component that functions exactly like a typical data list and scroll bar with the exception that the thumb is "centered" on the track and reveals images from both the right and left. For that matter why not also have as an option a thumb that snaps to the bottom of the track and reveals images from the top… and one that snaps to the right and reveals images from the left when you run the project? It just seems so logical to expand the scroll bar component to include these options.
I am very glad to have Catalyst and will redesign my project to fit within the constraints of the tools available in the program but it seems that if Adobe is really serious about Catalyst being a window into the world of web design for designers/AD's that perhaps it might benefit by focusing on what might improve the program from the designer's point of view. I hate to say it but the Catalyst forum is already rife with answers to questions that are riddled with code… Literally. And to be honest most designers don't have the time to decipher that code. As a designer I work regularly and have a deep understanding of Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro, Final Cut Pro, Final Draft and modo. I do hi-res assembly, retouching, design and layout, identity, production, 3D modeling and rendering, video editing… and before I switch to using Catalyst for web mock-ups I am going to need a more "designer" friendly set of tools and definitely a "centered" control.
I really think Adobe is fantastic. But I also think it could take a lesson from a great little company called Luxology. I tried learning 3D modeling and rendering for years with programs like Lightwave, Maya and others, always with mixed results. Then Luxology came along and actually delivered on their promise to create a 3D program for artists. What was the factor that made all the difference? Well, besides the Apple award winning interface and sets of tools it was the training available on their sight. The program itself ships with thirty-six hours of quicktime movies. And hundreds more hours available for download. I have never yet not been able to quickly and easily find an answer to a question I had about how to accomplish something in modo. You know how long I have already spent on Adobe TV searching through videos and on the Catalyst forum searching through topics trying to get an answer to what I thought was a very simple question? Way too many. If I have a question about a Luxology product that I can't find the answer to do you know what I do? I call Brad Peebler, the President of Luxology. I'm not special nor do I work for some special development house with special privileges that is simply their policy. And that policy has paid big dividends. Both ILM and Pixar has licensed their technology.
Well… I apologize for this long response but I really think that if Catalyst is going to attract the market it wants that it will have to consider putting some designers on the development team. After all… Isn't that what the promo videos tout… Finally a web design program for designers. Well, I guess we'll see.

5 of my lightning cables stopped working; they are after market cables

All of a sudden I get an error message that my cable is not certified amnd may not work reliably with this phone. I have 5 cables that do not work and 2 that do. I have been using these cables for a while with no problem. Is this an Apple issue? Did they just decide to do this? If so, I am no longer an Apple customer.

Lightning cables need a chip in them to make them work properly. If these are not made properly, they could damage your iPhone. FOr this reason, Apple lienses the making of those cables, and if they detect an unlicensed cable, they feel it's better to not allow it to be used than to allow it to damage your expensive hardware. I appreiate that they are protecting my iPhone from some company who doesn't care if it gets damaged by their crappy cable.
I like an expression I saw recently "If your head is only worth $10, tehn wear a $10 helmet when you ride your motorcycle." My iPhone is worth more than a $1.99 cheap knock-off cable to me, so I will use the proper cable to charge it, as I have done since I got it on Sept 21, 2012.

Why did my hdmi lightning cable stop working?

Was able to watch on the tv screen using mirroring with my new ipad and apples hdmi lightning cable.
Suddenly today no mirroring occurs. The screen goes blank, then "no signal".
When i try with my husbands ipad mini, no problem, his still works, so its not the cable...
I do not want to stand in line for an hour and then have some 'genius' reset my ipad and tell me to go home and try again.
Any ideas?

Question about Quads (how do I view them from both sides?)

Hi guys. Well I just started using Java3D...I've used Open GL in C++ for a little while so I had some experience coming in. I got a world up where you can move the camera around and rotate it and stuff and I can load Quads and their texture coordinates from a text file...but for some reason no matter what I try the polygons can only be viewed from one side. It just so happens that this is sometimes the side that I want to be able to see. Can someone help me with this? Thanks,
Compaq

For some reason this line worked:
(Attributes)a.setPolygonAttributes(new PolygonAttributes(PolygonAttributes.POLYGON_FILL, PolygonAttributes.CULL_NONE, 0));
so I guess it just has to do with the getPolygonAttributes...I'll use this for now but I hope that POLYGON_FILL does not mess up anything although I don't think it will...I just don't fully understand it yet. Oh well thanks again! If it wern't for the PolygonAttributes information I wouldn't have been able to solve it. Now any ideas on my other post about rotating in two planes hehe? Thanks,
Compaq

My ipod only works from 1 side of my headphones

My iPod headphone jack only works on 1 side of the headphones but not both sides of the headphones. I try every headphones my friends have and my iPod is causing this problem. How can I fix the headphone jack inside my iPod??

Have it replaced. Either send it into Apple for replacement for a flat fee or send it to a third party repair comany to actually replace the part of for you at a cheaper cost.
Here are Apple's pricing options.

Lightning cable not working

Why do I have to keep replacing my lightning power cord?

Actually, I have had the same problem with my lightning cords. I travel a lot, and often times need to plug my cord in a USB outlet. After having to replace the first cord, I was told by the Apple Genius Bar to bring my other cord in because they had to do a recall. When I brought my 1st lightning cord, there was an issue with cord where it connected to the phone, and it was popping up a message saying "this accessory is not supported" and was actually removing the battery life from my phone, instead of recharging it. The lightning cord is now doing it again. I have two chargers from the 3gS and I have NEVER had a problem with those cables, but the lightning cord has been nothing, but trouble. I just made an appointment for the apple store this evening after AT&T (where I bought my 2nd cable) told me they will not replace it and I had to bring it to the Apple store. It's very frustrating and inconvenient, especially since I live like an hour away from the store.

OEM web console is not working from client side

Hi All,
I have 2 node RAC environment on windows 2003 server with 11g r1. My problem is on node a "oracle enterprise manager" "https://server-a:1158/em" is not working (node A). Is there any thing that I can do to solve this problem ?
On node B the url "https://server-b:1158/em" is working.
Any help would be appreciate.
Regards,
Edited by: 53637 on Feb 22, 2011 7:43 PM

It works as expected, dbconsole runs on only ONE node in the cluster, all agents from this and the other nodes report to this console, statement from documentation:
In 10.1.x.x, when a DB Control was deployed on a RAC cluster with n nodes, a dbconsole was started on each node of the cluster. Each agent on each node reported to each dbconsole management service on the same node.
Beginning 10.2.x.x, to improve performance and reduce the workload on the RAC database/instances,when a DB Control is first deployed on a RAC cluster with n nodes, a dbconsole is started only on the node from which the DB Control is deployed. Each agent on each node reports to that same unique dbconsole management service.
It is however possible to later reconfigure the DB Control to have more than one dbconsole started and to have agents reporting to several dbconsole.
